    RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@highergeometer/117415296386994698 The thing is, to win, OpenAI doesn&#39;t have to get good at math research. They just have to make it nonviable for humans to work in math research

    RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/116108957641748718 I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don&#39;t think I&#39;m asking for much here. I am just asking for the &quot;open source community&quot; to be to the left of Goldman Sachs

    I believe that at some point in the next ten years, a &quot;brain computer interface&quot; will exist that detects some kind of neuron activity, runs it through a machine learning model, and translates it into LLM agent actions. It won&#39;t be anything as clean as &quot;you think a sentence and it types it&quot;. It will be something one level lower than &quot;prompting an AI&quot;. You do some vague mental thing and it translates into a result on the computer. I believe this product will not...

    RE: https://infosec.exchange/@kevinrothrock/117395210320707564 Also like. Logically. If someone were, hypothetically, to contract the plague. Wouldn&#39;t &quot;at the research center where they study plague&quot; be literally the best possible place for it to happen. Like they already know exactly what to do. They&#39;ve been studying it. I imagine if I were like, head of a software company, or shift manager at a Tim Hortons. And somebody died of the plague. I bet I&#39;d botch that whole situ...

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/117394700079685766 Uh oh I&#39;m very serious about this, move the compose box out of the left column (or otherwise cause the compose box to cover up content) and I walk. I don&#39;t get to move off mastodon.social due to mastodon never actually implementing a migration feature but I can definitely find an alternate frontend

    RE: https://wandering.shop/@joshsutphin/117389466966227280 (With no hostility intended toward Josh here—) I am literally begging all of you to stop giving Spotify money. There are so many alternatives. &quot;A music streaming service&quot; is not a hard problem to solve and like 8 companies have solved it. The company that makes your phone OS has solved it (this is true for both major phone OSes).

    : **doesn&#39;t load** : Well, that&#39;s understandable. It&#39;s a small service operated by volunteers, and amidst what is effectively a permanent DDOS by AI scrapers, we can&#39;t really expect they&#39;ve got the resources of Github. : **doesn&#39;t load**

    The existence of RedoxOS and ReactOS implies the existence of a RedactOS. Now if you go and look, you&#39;ll find there&#39;s no evidence of a RedactOS ever existing. And of course that&#39;s exactly what you&#39;d expect https://chitter.xyz/@gutmunchies/117379709019788043

    Very occasionally I encounter someone huffily arguing &quot;well why does everyone complain about the water/energy expenditure of AI but they just look the other way on the water/energy expenditure of FARMING&quot;. Well it&#39;s pretty obvious, it&#39;s because if we had to give up exactly one of &quot;generative AI&quot; or &quot;food&quot;, we&#39;d rather have food

    Bluesky is having an odd little debate about use of the phrase &quot;stochastic parrot&quot; and how it appears to be the one phrase that just sends AI advocates into a rage, and I&#39;m really torn, because while I&#39;m in favor of making Ai advocates angry, I sincerely believe that parrots are capable of both understanding concepts and using language to intentionally communicate about their understandings of concepts. And I believe this is not true of LLMs

    To answer the article&#39;s question: It is unethical to run a program that &quot;tortures&quot; an LLM because in order to do this you must run the LLM and it is unethical to run an LLM 🤷‍♀️

    What is the relationship between the PCRE and PCRE2 libraries? Is one an API version 1.0 and the second an API version 2.0, or is PCRE2 a hostile fork, or is PCRE2 a new ground-up reimplementation with a different API by a different team?

    I lie down in bed and close my eyes. What I expect my brain to do at this point is start producing the chemicals that make me fall asleep. What my brain does instead is drop on me the couplet &quot;Korma police Arrest this naan&quot; …what am I supposed to do with that?

    My generative AI has gone rogue. The conversation prompt terminal is gone and now there&#39;s just a crude ASCII rendition of a series of cellars. I have a blue potion and 4 pieces of gold. A letter Q is advancing on me menacingly

    *rolling around on the floor holding head* language runtimes are so interesting… operating systems are so boring… why are operating systems so much more useful than language runtimes. It&#39;s not fair

    Rust wgpu now has a .agents/skills, a .claude/skills, an AGENTS.md, and a CLAUDE.md. Increasingly wondering if my goal of living in a way that I never benefit from the actions of generative AI users and generative AI users never benefit from the actions of me is going to inherently mean never using hardware-accelerated video on a computer again.

    Okay. Linux tolerators. I have a question. Which of these two hypothetical syntaxes for a configuration file do you like better? If you like one or the other better, do you like it *so* much better you&#39;d say something like &quot;I would find this categorically easier to read and work with&quot;. Or do you just like it better.

    The reason I assume bad faith on the part of AI-curious project maintainers is because I keep having conversations with people who are trashing AI all over the place and then they let slip that they&#39;re actually using AI already, sometimes a *lot* of AI, it&#39;s just they have some elaborate rationalization where the AI *they* use is good and effective and it&#39;s only everyone else who is using AI wrong, and producing slop.
