An unexpected negative externality of Bluesky culture is that I am now intentionally *not* putting alt text on images because said alt text is indexed by Bluesky's search which harassers can find, which offsets the positive effects of alt text.

ok fine I'm now a believer in Bluesky labels

if these are indicative there is going to be DISCOURSE www-cdn.anthropic.com/53566bf5440a...

why did Google embargo the announcement of vertical tabs in chrome

I give up.

it's almost as if bluesky is hosted in a datacenter

pretty remarkable how quickly disinformation haters becomes disinformation creators, distributors, and enjoyers just cause the subject is AI

this is why I don't put AI as a discussion topic in my dating profile

I generated emotion vectors for Gemma 4 E2B using a methodology similar to Anthropic's emotion paper, here is a UMAP plot for layer 25 of Gemma vs Sonnet

Apparently, if a crate is not 100% human written, it is off topic for /r/rust: reddit.com/r/rust/comme.... I have been working on Toasty for 3 years, 9 months with AI tools. I am quite proud of the code quality and stand by it. By their standard, the entire tokio-rs GitHub organization is now OT.

Philosophical ML engineering question: is it better for a prediction pipeline to be a) a black box no one understands or b) a eldritch overengineered pipeline that's interpretable but you will go insane trying to understand it?

I think it's funny that Bluesky still does this line about "not taking your data" as a platform with a free data firehose. Surely Bluesky isn't harvesting your data, everyone else is.

Recently, World of Warcraft added restrictions to addons to prevent raids from just computationally solving boss mechanics. Apparently, this just caused the top raid guilds to get more *creative* in their addon implementations and not much has changed.

I posted on Hacker News that a stance of "AI has good and bad things" is a more real-world reflective approach than an absolute "AI is good" or "AI is bad", and at the least it's more conductive for civil discussion. It received two comments of "fuck off AI shill".

A sign that human creativity is a bottleneck is that this year everyone can generate almost any image or video they can think of for nearly free and the April Fools posts are basically just as bad as any other year.

And would you prefer we converse privately ? That would be much better for us both as I would love to share ideas with you and also speak of old times in St. Louis.

modern social media is the actual doom machine, not AI. many of the most harmful potential uses of AI are only because of the attack surface social media presents. and this is a doom machine that *can* be switched off.

Forget Pokemon, I want to see models try BABA is YOU.

A genuinely novel thing about modern AI is how inherently moatless it is. Nothing's patented. All the instructions are on arxiv. Totally solipsistic, no network externalities. There are no monopoly profits to be had. Not sure what it means but it means something.

dammit FDRobot is a good pun

Do Waymo’s respond to passive-aggressive honks from other drivers?

BlueSky is a great place to post about AI with as long as most people on BlueSky don't notice that you are posting about AI.

My hobby with spare Codex/Claude Code sessions is giving them software engineering problems with constraints that are likely unsolvable, with high impact if it does. GPT-5.4 xhigh tends to give up (despite instructions to "never give up") Opus 4.6...doesn't. And it eventually solves the problems.

The Sora shutdown is (IMHO) best read as OpenAI not wanting to burn capital to subsidize TikTok.

I ran the same prompt used in this post in ChatGPT w/ Thinking enabled and was not able to reproduce the issue stated: it was able to list Super Mario Wonder with the correct character count without any additional prompt engineering (it also loaded the Python tool to do so)

most ominous downtime message ever

Looking at the OpenRouter rankings for the first time in awhile, and wtf.

I think I come down to the "you put your name on it, you vouch for it unconditionally, every word, regardless of LLM use" side of the debate rather than the "you should explicitly say if you used an LLM always" side. Too much potential to use the machine to dodge accountability

What is the purpose of agents giving planning estimates in days/weeks/months? I'm just going to ask you to do it and it'll only take an hour, tops.

Trying to benchmaxx Pydantic validation parsing and GPT 5.4 decided to make its own Pydantic instead 🤷

...how large is OpenAI expecting the training code to be? openai.com/index/parame...

There's a confusing discourse around the admittingly-bad DLSS 5 examples with people saying "WOW GENAI SUCKS" ...how do they think DLSS works?

ok, but what *is* the deal with the building with a horn on it emoji 🏤

One annoying thing about reading X's feed (since unfortunately I still need to read it for professional reasons) is that it's *entirely* vagueposting with various degrees of irony.

I'm tempted to write a blog post using Claude Code to iteratively design a text writing pipeline that can beat AI-writing detectors in order to prove that AI-writing detectors are bunk, but that may be too spicy.

I never thought a "Don't post generated/AI-edited comments" rule on Hacker News would cause a shitstorm.

so I tried the prompt ("can you use whatever resources you like, and python, to generate a short 'youtube poop' video and render it using ffmpeg ? can you put more of a personal spin on it? it should express what it's like to be a LLM") with Opus high in CC, and, uh, yeah. (flashing lights warning)

GPT 5.4 consumes waaaaaay more quota than expected and I can't explain why.

I saw a joke tweet saying "grep is the most important agent tool" so I decided to benchmaxx a faster grep tool in Rust. It worked lololol

god damn it let me relax for one day please openai.com/index/introd...
