No idea if it was intentional given how long a series' production cycle can be before it ends up on tv/streaming, but it's hard not to see Vince Gilligan's Pluribus as a weird extended impact-of-chatbots metaphor.

It's also somewhat tedious and seems to be working under the assumption that cool cinematography is a sufficient substitute for character development.

Hey it's the character.ai guy, a.k.a. first confirmed AI assisted kid suicide guy.

I do not believe G-d puts people in the wrong bodies.

Shazeer also said people who criticized the removal of the AI Principles were anti-Semitic.

Kind of feel the transphobia is barely scratching the surface of all the things wrong with this person.

pro-AI but only self hosted

Like being pro-corporatism but only with regard to the breadcrumbs that fall off the oligarchs' tables.

We should start calling so-called open source models trickle-down AI.

This improved my mood considerably, thank you.

Airlock can be a verb.

The essays being scored by a contractor, is that just normal weird or also USA weird?

He kind of left his prime I think, the humor becoming alternatingly a bit too esoteric or a bit too obvious, and kind of stale in general. Nothing particularly objectionable about the author comes to mind otherwise.

In collaboration with cryptocurrency outfits Coinbase, MetaMask, and the Ethereum foundation, Google also produced an extension that would integrate the cryptocurrency-oriented x402 protocol, allowing for AI-driven purchasing from crypto wallets.

what could possibly go wrong

In either case, the goal is to maintain an auditable trail that can be reexamined in cases of fraud.

Which is a thing that you only need to worry about if you use these types of agents.

Which in any case you can't, because

The protocol is built for a future in which AI agents routinely shop for products on customers’ behalf and engage in complex real-time interactions with retailers’ AI agents.

I feel that strip mall dojos where you were ostensibly taught some very mainstream belt-based martial art like karate or TKD (or straight up make-believe stuff like ninjutsu) but were essentially glorified daycare should figure somewhere in the history of the term.

He has capital L Lawfulness concerns. About the parent and the child being asymmetrically skilled in context engineering. Which apparently is the main reason kids shouldn't trust LLM output.

Him showing his ass with the memory comment is just a bonus.

Risk checks for financial services: $1M saved annually on outsourced risk management

Since I doubt they had time to use the tools for a full year, this is probably just the month they saved ~85K$ from firing/ending partnership with humans involved in risk assessment multiplied by twelve.

In the long run I'm betting that exclusively using software that not only can't do basic math but actually treats numbers as words for risk assessment isn't going to be a net positive for their bottom line, especially if it their customers also get it in their heads that they could ditch the middleman and directly use a chatbot themselves.
