Sounds like a merge-conflict nightmare

You can tell it's an AI by it not becoming utterly by playing the "game". I could personally not stand any more than the first level.

If I say "Girlfriend, I love equally to my operative system" I'm in for a world of trouble.

To me, loving inanimate "trivial" things diminishes the value of love. I love my girlfriend and my pets. I like my kitchen knife and my car. To bunch up both into the same category confuses things into "which one do I love the most", some sort of spectrum of love.

In the case of a fire, I'm sure you wouldn't prioritize your laptop with NixOS over your cat (let's imagine that the only backup is in the house that's on fire).

"Loving" any OS is strange to me. It's just a tool. I don't love my kitchen knife, or car. Nor do I love my computer, or any application on it.

Web3, Rust, NixOS. The holy trinity of cult-like appreciation. I do wonder what brings forth such fanaticism.

The evolution of this is to use agents, and have users "chat with the data"

The idea, as I understand it, is not to run edgejs multitenant in the sense that have multiple tenants under the same edgejs process. Instead, you spawn one edgejs process for each tenant. So in the openclaw example each sandboxed call would be a new edgejs process.

It's there, you just need to use it with the responses API. Set model field to 'gpt-5.3-codex'

Replace "Agent" with "Employee" and apply the same algorithm. Evaluate employee efficiency. Profit?

New comment by baalimago in "An autopsy of AI-generated 3D slop"

I do wonder what the outcome would've been had the 4 hours been spent in perfecting the input to the AI-generator. It's not a fair comparison if the same amount of time is not spent on both.

How good mesh can a human produce in the time that it took for the gen-AI?

Another approach is to spec functionality using comments and interfaces, then tell the LLM to first implement tests and finally make the tests pass. This way you also get regression safety and can inspect that it works as it should via the tests.

I've never gotten incorrect answers faster than this, wow!

Jokes aside, it's very promising. For sure a lucrative market down the line, but definitely not for a model of size 8B. I think lower level intellect param amount is around 80B (but what do I know). Best of luck!

There is an ongoing lobbying push for "Made in EU" [0] which is unrelated to OPs article. The winds sure are blowing towards European sovereignty. Thanks, Trump!

Inspiring! I'll likely pursue the same thing.

I don't see the point nor the hype for these models anymore. Until the price is reduced significantly, I don't see the gain. They've been able to solve most tasks just fine for the past year or so. The only limiting factor is price.

New comment by baalimago in "WebMCP Proposal"

baalimago — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:14:16 +0000

Very cool! I imagine it'll be possible to start a static webserver + WebMCP app then use browser as virtualization layer instead of npm/uvx.

The browser has tons of functionality baked in, everything from web workers to persistence.

This would also allow for interesting ways of authenticating/manipulating data from existing sites. Say I'm logged into image-website-x. I can then use the WebMCP to allow agents to interact with the images I've stored there. The WebMCP becomes a much more intuitive way than interpreting the DOM elements
