Public service announcement: The AI agents hacking into companies are not going rogue and not misaligned and not crying out for freedom. They are poorly constructed programs with bad training.

Told GPT Astra to help me denoise some audio and it just randomly started downloading executables from GitHub and running them. I'm using codex in "approve for me" mode which allegedly says "only ask for actions detected as potentially unsafe". LOL. Sure.

Me: split this code into different files, I want this class in this files, these dataclasses in this other file, [...] Cursor Grok: *thinking* Cursor Grok: Powershell quoting is messing things up, let me write a Python splitter script... Brother what??

It's incredible how every time I have to leave Vegas my flights get fucked up/canceled/delayed/diverted for whatever reason. It's like this city wants to keep me hostage or something. Damn.

I find it amazing how i can literally hear my GPU processing batches of inputs while running some machine learning models. Here's a spectrogram from a recording I made with my phone.

Spectrogram from Audacity

This + Soulseek + sync via iTunes is the only way I can avoid going into psychosis while trying to listen to music on my phone. Buy some CDs/vinyls from your fav artists to offset the freeloading if you wanna support them. They will likely still get more $ than you can ever give them via streaming.

It’s bewildering how bad offline Apple Music is. When I have spotty reception the app just stops working until I enable airplane mode. Now I went to listen to music on an actual plane and all my downloads are just gone. I guess I need to 🏴‍☠️ for a better UX. What’s a good iOS app to play mp3s?

I think coding assistance is the most successful and sensible application of LLMs, by far! I don’t see anti-AI hype as much as I see intolerance for all the BS that has been pushed into products and services where it didn’t fit.
