I've already seen "Europe 2031 was right. Shorted time between a work of science fiction and science fact" on LinkedIn.... ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Now seeing one-shotted Europeans calling for the development of AI/LLMs at home - "Mistral" is not adequate

You know how the guardrails in the new anthropic models have been panned as overly sensitive?

Well now malware authors are including biology terms like "saccharide" in their source code to make llm powered scanners refuse to scan the code and let it past anyway

What a time to be alive

So very excited for the biggest pump and dump in the history of consumer investing, brought to us by a man actively inciting race riots in northern ireland. Can't wait for this afternoon ๐Ÿ™

Gary Marcus has been spamming out sneers at Google, OpenAI and Anthropic over the last 24h. He's right but he's such a knob about it. The first of his posts was a whopper where he just quoted himself predicting things correctly from like a year ago. It is nice to feel vindicated and say "I told you so" but it's way too much. It reminds me of Juergen Schmidhuber who was famous on x-twitter for shouting "I ALREADY INVENTED THIS 30 YEARS AGO" every time a new notable paper came out of an AI Lab and whose name became a verb for "claiming credit for something"

He keeps going on about how we will have AGI but it won't be via transformers. Dude why do we even need or want AGI? He comes so close to being "one of the good guys" and then shows his true colours every single time.

The new Claude model will silently decide whether what you asked it to do is in line with anthropic ToS and silently corrupt your prompt if it doesn't like what you're asking. It's couched as a "safety countermeasure" but it is presumably to stop Chinese labs trying to scrape synthetic data.

We've moved from 'accidental' hallucinations to deliberate misinformation and you're paying $$$ for the privelige.

Let's all just agree that it's a beloved RPG game by Lionhead Studios and we'll leave it at that

Literally the only pivot to AI that I am happy about. Molly is GOAT

UK government wants to mandate client-side scanning to stop nonces. You won't be able to take or share nudes with hardware you own unless you submit to some dodgy third party identity check service first.

Unfortunately clippy the magic nonce detector does not exist. All this does is give our next Prime Minister (probably that froggy Farage bloke) totalitarian overreach

Easiest way to avoid using LLMs as a software developer appears to be to get a religious exemption

I thought this was worthy of it's own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.

I for one can't wait for non-deterministic package management
