he/him. computers. cats. they know what are they are doing and they do it anyway.
If the reason you think art is worth your time is because it took a lot of skill or effort then you are badly missing out on a lot of really good art.
The last time I watched an eclipse I used home made viewing glasses made out of floppy disks.
Sometimes I feel like I should go outside and touch grass but have you seen the grass lately? I think I'll stick to the internet thanks.
Tom Hiddlestone's Pompeii show feels like it wanted to be an alternative history drama in the style of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome,_S... but they couldn't quite commit to the bit enough.

I've been basically all in on AI coding since January. Honestly the actual code generated can be pretty good. However the workflow is just total inhumane garbage and the most popular solutions (e.g. Claude Code) are going in a direction that makes it worse.
If only Americans are allowed any future models from US AI companies isn't this going to just destroy their TAM? The US is not even half the professional market for AI.
Looking forward to welcoming our 7th unelected prime minister in my life time. We've only had 4 people become PM via a general election since 1979.
/r/conservative actually managed to make a joke involving Pride that at least has the general shape of a joke AND has no slurs. Our politics is healing.
A lot of confused Peter Molyneux fans on the internet today I expect.
I wonder if people who look at LLMs and worry about their fallibility know about biological processes like protein self assembly? Error tolerance and self correction is a critical aspect of resilient system design and it rarely relies on humans noticing every single error to achieve it.
conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.social · 3mo agoall of these things are true of human labor. do you have any idea what the 742,000 people who work at Accenture globally are doing? and if people knew when they were making mistakes, they wouldn't make them www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...
I was trying to find some new shoe options now that Allbirds is an AI company. Not sure Claude is ready for ecommerce yet.
After not using at all X since Musk bought it, I've been permanently banned for not being "authentic" enough. Thanks I guess?
Not sure I am going to start taking my ethical advice from an organisation that is still riddled with pedos, bans condoms and abortions and hates gay and trans people.
"Pareto-Smoothed Importance Sampling Leave-One-Out cross-validation" aka PSIS-LOO. Data Scientists, are you OK?
Watching cats snooze in the grass is a really good hobby. Strong recommend. 10/10.
Never going to be a good day when the first thing you have to do is write to your MP to complain about their participation in a pointless culture war.
for no particular reason: this is your regular reminder to check that your database backups definitely restore correctly.
Some great non-fiction books managers should be reading in an AI first world: * A Deepness in the Sky * Rainbow's End * Accelerando * The Diamond Age
LLMs are just speed running western philosophy. Tokenization: applied Saussure. RLHF: applied Wittgenstein. RAG: applied Derrida. Synthetic data: applied Baudrillard. Eventually we'll need AI reincarnated Zizek to debug anything.
Boo all you want, the power loom didn't care about many children you feed it and neither does AI.
Cabel Sasser@cabel.panic.com · 4mo agothis graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
It was the 69th anniversary of McCarthy's death last weekend but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
Peter Stefanovic@peterstefanovic.bsky.social · 4mo agoBREAKING: “We will now expect universities to publish the scale of the problem on their campuses as well as the specific steps they have taken to clamp down on it. There will be zero tolerance for inaction” Keir Starmer is hosting No 10 summit to tackle antisemitism
Doesn't need to be exponential decline to be feasible on price. 10x cheaper in the next couple of years is probably pretty likely even. Maybe 30x cheaper per token by 2030.
Marcus Hutchins@malwaretech.com · 4mo agoThen every AI proponent I talk to about this just come up with some insane napkin math where token costs keep decreasing exponentially forever. It feels as if the entire industry is basically operating on some insane Moore's law hypothesis where everything just becomes free... 6/6
Every time I have tried to use @zed.dev it uses all my RAM and crashes 🤷♂️
We are terrible at actually banning stuff. We just find ways to obfuscate the thing. Human cloning is mostly just regular cloning. Dazzlers exist and can trivially be made to blind by cranking the power up. No there was a 6 month voluntary moratorium.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is a reason that Anthropic’s warnings ring hollow. It appears hypocritical to constantly warn that AI will lead to mass layoffs while building the leading tool(s) driving mass layoffs in the software industry. There is no “human cloning is bad but we’re the top human cloning company” CEO on TV
In 6 months I have gone from "that's a cool party trick" to "I don't type code anymore" to "what even is being a software engineer now?"
I love red lines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.
Thanks to DLSS 5 I can finally play Return of the Obra Dinn like it was meant to be played
