What also never gets old are clickbait headlines that play into whatever it's popular to hate at the moment.

TV4, the commissioner of the show, conducted an investigation and stated the mishap was due to “the human factor” and not AI.

    Open models will still be available via API from third-party hosts. The bigger ones like Kimi K3 or GLM 5.3 don't fit on conventional desktop computers to begin with, most non-institutional users of those would already be doing that (eg via OpenRouter).

    I've got 24GB of VRAM, which helps a lot. I'm using the Q4_K_M version of this model, with the KV cache quantized to Q8, and that's able to get me to 128000 tokens of context. I'm using the Qwen Code harness in VS Code.

    If 128000 tokens still isn't enough, break the task down into smaller chunks and help the harness out with MCP tools - I installed Codebase Memory to help it navigate large codebases more efficiently, for example. Ask the coding agent what's causing problems and it may be able to help identify solutions too, I've had it troubleshoot itself several times now and it's been quite good at inspecting its own settings and finding where the problems are with them. I even installed Firecrawl for it so it can do its own web searches.

    That'd be fine. Cryptocurrency as a whole is still going strong (total market cap is around 3 trillion dollars) and most of the major ones have switched over to energy-free proof-of-stake validation.

    I've spent the last month or so using nothing but a local 27B Qwen model as my coding assistant and it's working fine. The big American AI companies could all collapse in ruins tomorrow and it's not going to slow things down all that much, anyone who wants to use AI will be able to continue using it. Might even be better in the long run if that happens - the people who are scared of ASI will get their much-demanded temporary slowdown at the frontier while everyone else catches up with open-weight models that everyone can use without central control.

    Pity about the economy in the meantime, I guess.

    If I were Amelius designing these things I'd just make it impossible to enter the wrong way. Put up a force field, perhaps add a safety buffer that stores stuff that went in the wrong way so it can be spit back out again.

    I mean that if you enter a Stargate that's going the "wrong way", as in it's an incoming wormhole rather than an outgoing one, it just disintegrates you and sends you nowhere.

    For example, in the SG-1 episode “A Hundred Days,” a Stargate is lying flat. A MALP probe emerges from it and immediately falls back into the receiving gate, destroying it.
