Stolen without shame.

Don't forget to check on your local agent-grifter.

Gemini-level of ass-licking from Fable.

An interesting thing about bubbles is that for any capital-intensive, rapidly developing technology, there will always be a case for a bubble. If everyone knew that there is no bubble, then everyone and their mother would invest increasing prices until there is a believable argument for a bubble.

Interesting data point about @pangram.com

BTW, anyone knows a well maintained benchmark for summarization tasks?

I had a task to summarize 50-100 medium-length non-English texts (1-2k tokens each). Opus4.6 performed very well. Comparatively, Opus4.8 is borderline unusable for the task. It's condescending, leaves out important details and and lacks overall coherence.

That's 200 dollars per second, meaning a little bit more than 1 million token per second on Opus fast. Depending on t/s, caching and the ratio of input tokens, you need 10-50 thousand employees burning tokens 24/7 to achieve that.

Imho it should be removed from github as a malware.

Me when I repeatedly instruct Claude to run a script it made for me instead of calling it myself.

If you are a scientist and you obsessively use slurs and other loaded terms against people who don't agree with your positions, claiming they are all part of a conspiracy, then you are not a scientist, you are a crackhead. Not long ago, this wasn't a controversial statement.

You can't even read about music in peace these days.

AI capabilities never grow as quickly as it seems; AI capabilities never grow as slowly as it seems.

I love how at certain hours when Americans are sleeping, Brits dominate the English-language political discussions on Bluesky.

rant that seemed to belong here

Talkie do have a temporal leakage problem, but it could be worse.

Random scene from Budapest last night of people celebrating Peter Magyar's landslide win and maybe even more so, Orban's fall.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force (post is about Anthropic's 30B ARR).

people with robot girl pfps posting 'datacenters are destroying the planet' from their cyberpunk aesthetic accounts. bestie my culture is not your costume

Information flow was gatekept by traditional media institutes for more than a century. Internet and social media removed these barriers and it somehow turned out to be bad for the society. At that point I don't feel confident to make any predictions about how AI will change this field.

Builders talk about problems and methods, grifters talk about plans and results. This is a good rule of thumb in the dawn of agentic coding.

Current Hungarian polls. Tisza is ahead of Orban's party (Fidesz) but what is more interesting are the individual voter groups. Practically only old and/or uneducated people would vote for Orban. Almost all young *or* educated people want him gone.

I'm not going to post this on twitter but what's up with levelsio? What kind of threat model does he have that allows Claude Code to run on his prod server and be susceptible to prompt injections but needs Tailscale to mitigate a potential SSH 0-day?

i have another piece in drafts about which things to do with modern ai are actually reasonable targets for concern and i was going to save this for after but i realized I did not care about the timing and wanted to stop thinking about the parrots thing

They literally believe that using AI is evil on the same level as rooting for the ICE to kill more protesters or defending rapists. That's why they don't realize they are the bullies here. They believe that even if he was polite, that's just a sneaky tactic to push an evil agenda and cause trouble.

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage. Here's the result of a rough botec, seems like inference and training are using about equivalent amounts of water, and power uses 5x as much

Weren't Gemini the best at long context retrieval around 2.5?

I'm keeping mine in a sandbox with a go compiler and it loves it.

Alright, reddit has finally fallen. Big subs were a disaster for years, but there were many small subs that was worth visiting. The list of these subs is now decreasing quickly because of scammers who flood these with low effort, engagement bait posts written by AI.

What is happening on reddit? Beside scammers operating spam networks on unmoderated subs, there is a special kind of AI post: old user, low activity, empty engagement bait AI-post. The user is old but with minimal past activity and responsive in the comments.

I just randomly remembered that Papa Roach stole two different Iron Maiden riffs on their Infest album (Between Angels and Insects - Prowler, Last Resort - Gengish Khan)

Look I don’t mean to alarm anyone but the more I think about it the more I believe Hegseth wants to try and use Claude as part of some kind of domestic election interference tool in time for the midterms, that’s the only reason why you would go nuclear over a TOS dispute like this

Do you know these liberal wet dreams called rule of law and separation of powers? They sound gay, but they prevent these kind of things.

like. yes. it's autocomplete. it's autocomplete in the same way that a computer is binary. "binary can never be video, that's absurd" is a natural intuition about binary that is completely wrong

The 33-second video depicts a kneeling, blindfolded soldier in Hungarian uniform being shot on a rain-drenched battlefield. A caption reads, in part: "This is only a nightmare now, but Brussels is preparing to make it a reality ... Let's not take risks. Fidesz is the safe choice!"

No, it looks like there's really a vibe change. "This thing just statistically predicts words and good for nothing" is not a sustainable opinion anymore.

This sentiment in the last sentence is new here. The reality might be kicking in. Or maybe it's just users discussing moltbook. We'll see in a few days.

Trump is a tool. He doesn't have a strict opinion on most things, he just echoes what he heard last. He doesn't make decisions except for a few things that he is interested in. There are multiple factions behind him and everything we see is the result of their infighting.

An insane number of software developers write off AI because they are using some subpar model or product. Gemini Flash, Copilot autocomplete, free ChatGPT, etc. Best was "AI is bad because AI meeting summarization in *Zoom* is bad."

I don't think the Nazi card is a good idea against Trump's admin even with all the evil things they did. They are copying Putin, not Hitler. They won't attempt a genocide. They are trying to take over the country, which is horrible enough.

This is somewhat wrong. It only works for declarative tools. When you are writing imperative/OO code, it will be more verbose and you will have to get into to the implementation details that can be abstracted away.

Americans are asleep, UK-based blueskyers are visible in the data.

My bluesky monitoring app at xraysocial.com now periodically makes a summary about the most frequent topics in English posts. One observation is that you people didn't like Dick Cheney too much to say the least.

Not too many surprises, but still interesting to see what Bluesky was up in the last one hour.

Tal himself noticed that the artistic way of chess isn't always the most efficient way, and chess is becoming more and more "science" and "sport". Engines indeed accelerated this process. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqVU...

He wasn't even 30... I will miss his videos and streams so much.

There are not many people who I hate witch such a passion as Vladimir Kramnik. An evil, disgusting excuse of a human being as everyone else who enable him.

Everyone who empathizes with LLMs less than me is a reactionary humanist who will be left behind in the permanent underclass. Everyone who empathizes with LLMs more than me is experiencing psychosis and their brain is food for parasitic spiraloid entities
