Too many koi fish is stressful (and slow)

I'd love a version without the multiplayer and just zen

Good points, and I'll keep in mind. It might be I'm just sensitive to this narrative, especially in media. Writers need to also take the extra step and assign the agency to the operators and not the nameless AI.

I don't doubt that, but that's not what he wrote.

It is also not how OpenAI or Anthropic position the attacks and escapes from their labs. The words matter, they are being positioned as intelligent and unable to be controlled which is just not true.

> I’m fearful of the damage AI might cause: agent swarms taking over our virtual and physical infrastructure, designing bio weapons

The attitude that AI is doing things all on its own is so pervasive. These are all set off by human operators, giving them instructions and tools to do whatever it is that are doing. The "AI has a mind of its own" attitude is just wrong.

The fear of bad people using AI to do bad things is very different then AI agent swarms attacking and taking over.

OpenRouter or Fireworks are two of many that allow you to run numerous different models. You can use open code harnesses like Pi or Opencode that connect easily to these services.

Pi, more than a coding harness

The 256GB option is +$4,000 - the overall price for 512GB setup would probably be $20k!

You probably shouldn't use a system if you don't understand what it might do. You are the culpable force setting the action into motion.

That graph has to be made because an Exec didn't like that graph went down to the right instead of up and to the right. How do you make a graph with 0 on the far right and counts up by going left of 0? What number line is that?

The game theory is all wrong, this is a cooperative game, either they both win or both lose. I don't see how the Donkey getting hit by a car should be classified as "Donkey wins"

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 established the requirement that content for the public is written for its specific audience. These guides help you to understand how to create, design and test content so your specific audience understands it.

It appears open models were used to create this slop.

That opening is so hard to understand what they are trying to say, from the font and how it's written. It took me several times rereading to even grasp.

Plus the article is filled with cryptic things like:

    Open ships easy.
    Open deploys hard.

What?! Is it a meta answer to "the state of open source AI" question?
