a very old concept with useful applications dating back in the 80s.

wait a fucking minute

you came here to lecture us and you think algorithms from the field of AI only started seeing serious use in the 80s? the Mark I Perceptron was built in 1958

(I admittedly didn’t know about the machine before today, but I know more than enough about AI to know perceptrons as software are old as hell)

Why is there no proper text editor like on other systems - oh, right, M$ wants to sell office 365 subs! "Well, you can download-", yeah, sure let's have grandma go to Huckter Joe's Totally Not Trojans inc. JUST TO EDIT TEXT! IN FUCKING 2025!

it really is weird how much proprietary OSes gatekeep basic-ass good text editing, and how absolutely nothing mainstream includes even basic developer tooling anymore. there’s a big, unnecessary moat around development and I don’t like it.

Chrome and Cleopatra issued a statement that that guy was fired because he sucked anyway. Chrome assured fans it would not be an “AI record.”

The plan was apparently for Hout to record a guide vocal that would then be reskinned with the “fakeass robot A.I. Stiv Bators voice.”

there’s something extra disrespectful about a punk band lying about firing the guy they were planning on exploiting to train a horrid tool their record label insisted would make them more money

I am a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.

There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Del Taco, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Taco Bell.

Del Taco Leftists are sure Taco Bell will literally just evaporate tomorrow, and the neo liberals are sure that the secret menu has already happened and will be revealed for Taco Tuesday.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Taco Bell literally cannot evaporate, and they are also probably struggling to design a burrito that doesn’t fucking suck. They will probably find ways to distract you with churro bites instead, as a reasonable fast food chain would.

are there mechanisms known to researchers that Microsoft’s not using that can prevent this type of failure case in an LLM without resorting to whack-a-mole with a regex?

and the depressing part is, I’m pretty sure that unlike the R1 this thing won’t have any off-label use cases as a weird hackable gadget or an Android cyberdeck for big Teenage Engineering fans

it’s always fucking “boilerplate” with these assholes, isn’t it? I don’t know how so many people got into this field and didn’t figure out the template, snippet, or macro engines in their editors

Prabhakar’s mask falls off and it’s Vlad from Kagi

and then he trips and falls over and we find out Vlad’s just 3 small Peters Thiel in an overcoat

Edit 2: since there's no consensus on this I'm just going to reify that fact via the trailing-question-mark trick and call it a day.

Since killing != killed, your comment already shows that the title is misleading.

(That has a beneficial side effect btw: not having my own opinion about a story makes it easier to not moderate according to my own opinion. I still do that, or try my best to, even when I do have an opinion—but it takes more ATP.)

danny, please log the fuck off

how dare people call me, grimes, a nazi? they’ll be eating their words when they see me post the exact same racist justifications in the same tone as a chan fascist trying to trick teenagers

it’s intensely obvious that grimes has always been fascist trash. I’m hoping she becomes a prime example of what a fascist looks like when they’re lying about being a leftist to manipulate their audience, but unfortunately the most common take I’ve seen is that musk somehow corrupted her into sounding like someone who’s spent decades absorbing and agreeing with the worst people on the internet? so I’m not betting that folks will get better at spotting this type of shit early

I’m hoping for a protracted fight between the AI cultists and the technofascists while the world watches on and realizes the whole thing was a circus act the entire time
