Just saw Madame Web (on broadcast tv): bad reputation deserved. It's halfway between a bad fan fiction and one of those DC Comics tv series. Interesting idea, very badly executed. And the end… 🤦

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

This is laughable --- "reporting says", well yes, these reporters did a bang-up job anthropomorphizing the system they are talking about, and obfuscating the responsibility that OpenAI holds here. bsky.app/profile/mims... Some examples:

I've seen some folks try to frame OpenAI's unreleased model hacking a company that tests its abilities as a cynical marketing ploy but reporting says that absolutely was not the case: This was a real-deal escape of an AI agent that could have done vastly more damage. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...

The guardrails were coming from inside the (White)house - Anthropic’s models refused to help Hugging Face analyze their intrusion. We don’t need more guardrails impeding defenders when they need AI most. “Hugging Face tried using Anthropic Fable 5 & Opus …both models refused, citing guardrails…”

They were like high-school students trying to hack into the textbook company to cheat on their final exam. Only these hackers weren’t human.

Huge new class action lawsuit filed by big publishers and authors against Google this week over AI training. It accuses Google of taking millions of books / articles provided to them for use only in Google Books, Google Play Books, and Google Scholar, and secretly using them to train LLMs. 🧵 1/4

What this means is that just like you can have a variable named x in C++, you can have a variable named 7 in FORTRAN. Or, in this particular case, 3. Apparently, the original programmer got tired of typing pi. But instead of defining a variable named "pi" -- well. You can guess, can't you?

So, apparently, I got internet before Jordan Mechner 🧓🤯 (but after playing Prince of Persia for a few years already; floppy disks ftw!)

30 years ago this week, my journal records the very first time I used the internet. You can read the rest of my unpublished 1993-96 journals ("Making of Prince of Persia 2 & The Last Express") at www.jordanmechner.com/en/library/1... (*my website is ad-free, cookie-free, and free)
