My skepticism comes from the administration telling frontier model providers to police themselves and the sheer amount of capital involved. This never ends well.

Kudos to the people sounding the alarms but I can’t help but feel skeptical about the ability to keep the rogue entities contained.

It's nice to see something like this make it easier.

I can't help wonder what this would look like for humans. Imagine, set one of these up at a party and it has the means to identify anyone on the invite list. When it hears the person it displays a photo, brief bio, and relationship status.

The CF services I do use are DNS and R2. I'd be curious if there's a guide somewhere that lists their services through the lens of lock-in. For example, R2 is somewhat S3 compatible so it's less risky to use because I can swap providers.

Many of the product decisions that Zed's made caused me to switch to Zed for my daily driver IDE (previously JetBrains). The recent AI agent threads and improvements around diffs really solidified the move.

I put together an "ast-crdt" project combining Abstract Syntax Tree and Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) which allows multiple agents to effectively merge multiple code changes. The initial thought was to answer the question "what would it look like to allow modifications to the same code project by multiple agents in a safe way without relying on git semantics (and the inevitable merge conflicts)?" It also touches on the idea of "what if humans are removed entirely from the commit-PR-merge workflow?" All of this to say git-centric forges as we think about them today would start to look very different.
