At a minimum I would expect an FBI investigation, but given that the US government is right now a failed state I’m assuming no such investigation will happen.

Cybercrime legislation in other countries might not require intent, and then I would hope to see some prosecutions. OpenAI has clearly been negligent, and this negligence is causing harm in the world. Someone should be fined or jailed for this.

It would be nice if with new model releases claude code also gave a bit of a model 101 that tells you evolving ways of prompting it that the insiders have picked up. I know there’s the prompting guide in the claude docs, but this is often very broad and most people don’t know about it.

I’m always intrigued by the duality and conflict of “I have free will and must choose to act the right way” and “God has a plan so everything will be alright”.

Either free will allows us to deviate from the plan, or the plan will always be carried out and free will doesn’t really matter in the end. Arguing for God’s plan as the thing that will save us is eerily similar to nihilism, because they’re really arguing none of our actions truly matter.

This should discourage investors, since an unbridled CEO is bad for them in the long term. But it won’t, because nobody thinks long term anymore.

Had google offered a privacy-preserving ad model (basing the ads off the content of the page instead of who the user is) things would be very different.

OpenAI has too much money. They’re spending their money in stupid ways.

I also remember running nt4 with photoshop, word, and my IDE (borland delphi) all at the same time and comfortably in 128 mb of ram.

You can create anything and everything. Web components are about extending html to make it do more, progressive web components are about rendering that on the server and progressively enhancing with interactivity in the browser. Elena solves the major pain points in doing that. Components built this way can be used in any framework.

Before a covid hiring spree twitter had around 4000 headcount, now they’re around 3000. Basically musk stopped moderating and fired the moderators. What he did demonstrate is that the market didn’t care about moderation, because active user counts increased instead of decreasing.

If AI is really about to automate away a lot of labor, I have yet to hear even a hint of a plan to deal with the fallout of that which doesn’t involve consigning much of humanity to the dustbin of history.

I’m sort of reminded of how back in the day windows was swiss cheese and people kept saying “it is because they’re the biggest”, and then microsoft started caring about windows security and it improved enormously. When will microsoft start caring about npm security?

Why is npm the only package ecosystem that has so many problems? What are the other package system owners doing better? Let’s start there, instead of blaming the victims.

They’ve dropped all the mac studio configs higher than 96 gb, as well as the base mac mini. They’re also rumored to be considering taking the Neo base config off the market.

This seems to be how they’re dealing with supply constraints for fab capacity and RAM.
