Can the people calling for "better AI critics" give us a hint about what they actually have in mind? Other than “Sam Altman bad” and “capitalism bad” (they are bad, of course).

Apple’s TOS requires apps that offer “Login with ” to also support Sign in with Apple. I wonder how this applies to ATProto apps.. 🤔
So “why not add it to humanity’s understanding?” begs the question. A machine-checkable certificate has been added to humanity’s archive. Whether it has been added to human understanding is precisely the issue. Proof is not merely certification; mathematics is not merely a database of truths.
I hold these two views simultaneously: 1. The combustion engine is useful technology 2. Car-centric cities are dysfunctional and, on balance, harmful to the people who live in them I hold essentially the same view about LLMs
no one is going to take your beloved AI models away from you, don’t be silly. the people who hold the power have not only decided that you have the right to use them, they have decided you _will_ use them. No need to be afraid of the anti-datacenter hippies.
It's 2026 and SBCL's repl still doesn't provide a functional line editor.
The software industry is currently paying millions of dollars in tokens, degrading its own workforce skills, making the bet those skills will no longer be necessary (or that engs. will keep them up sharp on their own time). That’s a huge bet.
wild how we moved from “don’t worry, good engineers will review the code that AI writes anyway” to “code does not matter, it is a compilation target” in a matter of weeks.
We’re now in the “writing code by hand considered harmful” stage of AI.
I’m sure there were fringe voices 100% opposed the combustion engine. But I also bet there were people who foresaw the US becoming dysfunctionally car-centric and were dismissed as luddites
At the end of the day, the question is: is there still value in humans expressing computation in unambiguous languages?
I just moved the sentiment analysis for my feed generators (slrpr.xyz) from a custom amazon's nova-micro prompt to jev. We'll see. #atproto #jev

Why is SUPER + Q the default shortcut for a terminal in hyprland, that's insane.
Increasingly convinced that napkin notes are now the source and that specs are artifacts akin to lockfiles. Because why not.

One thing I am convinced of about AI is this: we’re reaping the benefits now, while the real collective costs are being deferred.
my conspiracy theory: AI progress is hitting asymptotic returns and the AI leaders calling for a “slowdown” is just the industry’s way of preemptively justifying why the next models will be only marginally better.
I miss when a good-looking README or website was actually a decent signal that a project was serious
I love @antirez.bsky.social work but I think I’ll trust Tao on this. @antirez.bsky.social is ignoring how incentives work.
antirez@antirez.bsky.social · 4w agoWhy Terence Tao is wrong on AI + Math. A thread: 1. Net negative is factually false. After a proof or disproof we know strictly more than before. No opaque process reduces the set of knowledge we have. About the human math trajectory "net negative" read the next points.
increasingly frustrated by the take that those of us who aren't fully opposed to the tech but have serious concerns about it are just a group of liars who are incapable of holding to our principles or articulating our concerns. there is space here to disagree and you can't hand wave away the harms.
A lot of current AI feels like "If we want a machine to cut paper, we first need to give an LLM-agent hands so it can use scissors"
Hot take: No, ATProto is not a good protocol for ai agents to share knowledge (and it'd be even worse as a protocol for them to coordinate!) because AI Agents would have radically different traffic patterns (unless artificially constrained).

on this Lake America idiocy, I will only say this: Treating the highest office as a reality show casting call and electing a clown makes a travesty of liberal democracy. This is not simply about Trump, the whole system is rotten. Reasoned debate my ass.
