felony murder is pretty widely regarded as a leading factor in incredibly unjust prosecutions and sentencing decisions. perhaps not the best concept to build your ideas on top of.

that's quite smart. i was almost stupid enough to paste it into a terminal to check if it worked before deciding to wait and let others analyze it first haha

funny how he didn't care about ethics the moment it was more profitable to release it than to talk about dangers.

unfortunately the page can also lie to you haha. it seems people have reviewed the code by now, but running suspicious shellcode you don't fully understand is never a great idea.

my company intentionally avoids all AI usage and yet our enterprise google workspace is still constantly sending us ai generated summaries of all of our various sensitive documents

tbf most companies don't have a potentially world-ending product. only real similar field is defense contractors who typically can't brag about unreleased ideas as they're classified.

Don't worry, these companies will make sure we get to experience both nightmare futures.

100% agreed. That's part of the issue imo, these companies pretend their new models are "too dangerous" to seem like they care about the world, yet they have no qualms deploying existing models in warfare or bragging about impending mass-unemployment.

I mean, it's the BBC and the article doesn't have any typical AI tells, where is this idea that it's AI written coming from???

Honestly we should have learned this claim from AI companies was purely fear-mongering back when GPT-2 was "too dangerous to release".

I agree, it seems like disabling them is quite easy. I'm more speaking to the new user perspective. From looking at their site I would have no clue that that product even had features aside from AI. I would never have a chance to find out I can disable the AI features.

In all honesty, the people who want to turn off AI won't be downloading Warp in the first place. I know Warp has interesting terminal innovations because I've been familiar with it since before the AI boom, but new users can't really tell.

Homepage header is "Warp is the agentic development environment", only screenshot on the homepage shows what appears to be a product similar to cursor/antigravity/etc AI IDE. Fair if that's your product direction but there's nothing there that tells new users about your terminal UX improvements. Honestly even if I was in the market for a new AI tool, there's nothing on your website that really tells me why I should pick Warp over any of the many competitors.

Fwiw I think Warp is quite cool, I just mean this as hopefully useful feedback from a new customer perspective.

i notice that as well. most of the time when i see those it has a retry counter also and i can see it trying and failing multiple requests haha. almost never succeeds in producing a response when i see those though, eventually just errors out completely.

is GLM genuinely comparable to claude models? haven't had a chance to test it yet.

does google actually host anthropic models themselves?? surprised anthropic allows that, given how notoriously crazy they are about distillation or weight leaks or any hints of their models being used in the wrong way.

maybe, but the response to GPU shortages being increased error rates is the concern imo. they could implement queuing or delayed response times. it's been long enough that they've had plenty of time to implement things like this, at least on their web-ui where they have full control. instead it still just errors with no further information.

This is super nice, thank you for including an AI disclosure. I would probably normally avoid something like this bc I would be considered by how much code oversight there is. Very nice to know that it's overseen properly by a human. Installed it and it's quite nice!!! great work :)

It would also be nice to be able to hide the checkbox it adds to the homepage. also disabling show focus box doesnt actually seem to work?

is there anything interesting in the unstable branch??

also lmfao bikeshedding a custom language is EXACTLY what i would expect from the dev of that kinda nerd game. feels like a good sign tbh
