So in the article it says : - a former employee did it with no consequences - executives said they won't enforce it

The article is just about them asking for changing the wording of contracts, not some super secret stuff they're dying to say and really can't.

I agree with part of your point, but it also depends on what you call a powerhouse. It has its advantages and disadvantages. It's true that today Europe relies more on the outside for a lot of tech than the opposite, but it's changing and it's not the only measure of quality.

But I especially think your last point about old people is really both false and irrelevant. If I wanted to troll, I could say it's really dumb, just americans being americans.

If you insist on going down the "relies on" hole, I am pretty sure you are going to end up back in Europe at some point

This is not true at all. Last year maybe, right now it's better. Still a little harder if you're into dev and one single stack, but still not as catastrophic as you describe

But there are not that many layoffs clearly due to Ai, this one sure is not

When you insert a disk, the game gets COPIED to the hard drive, not downloaded. Some games need additional downloads or patches that they will download, but that's up to the editors. Nothing is preventing them from releasing a finished game that fits on a disc (with some exceptions for some huge AAA games that won't fit, of course)

It has not, and I would argue it got worse for some cases, because it got even more expensive to get the 4K tiers.

Moreover, 4k access is not guaranteed. Recently Disney+ removed it completely here in France due to some legal thing with the HEVC codec.

Considering its price and the fact that it's not actually streaming, you are kind of making the same point that streaming services cannot compete on quality.

Another considerable advantage of 4k blu-rays is that they are not region-locked, while regular ones usually are. Considering how the market is sometimes chaotic with certain releases happening only in some countries, it makes importing (although sometimes quite expensive) less problematic.

Also a big plus that does not get talked about enough is the browsing of the "collection".

Avoids the infinite scroll with the mood "ugh I have nothing to watch", and it is infinitely nicer to choose with your kid/spouse/friend/etc from a physical list of choices rather than a list of thumbnails with search bar in 3 or 4 different apps

For the upgrade, it depends what you mean by small screen. For people who watch on a phone, sure. On any TV-sized screen, I think anyone can see an upgrade from streaming to a 4k bluray (or even a regular bluray), no matter if you are streaming 4k or not.

I cannot think that yet another service will be the solution, especially considering the market is already extremely fragmented and each service is getting more expensive and have tiers. Eventually, affordability might catch up with convenience (although arguably piracy might short circuit both).

That's the part I struggle too with all these "omg it's so dangerous" warnings. Things like nuclear weapons and bioweapons have immediate consequences in the real world.

Here we are talking about something with consequences in the digital world, usually on something pretty niche.

There IS an argument about pacing, and about not letting weapons, energy grids, hospitals, etc. getting managed by an autonomous AI, but I think we are still pretty far from it and even further to it being so in charge that it will obliterate us.

Not the same thing because you are talking about employees, not customers. The way a corporation sees it is that it means they need less developers for the same (or more) delivery. And then it should mean a market more in their favor, so actually lower wages

Thanks for the link, it seems interesting!

The hugging face is hardly a warning shot of anything close to that scale. For now, I don't see (not saying there's not, I'm trying to also understand why these smart people think like that) any indication that the current development of AI will be as dangerous as some describe.

I understand the idea that if we let it control nukes, if we let it fully decides if a med is safe, etc. It poses a huge risk. But honestly I really don't see indications that it's going majorly this way, nor that it has anywhere the capacity to do something that big. It found a zero day and hacked a niche website, ok, so what?

This feels like a diversion from the actual existing and proven problem of all the problematic practices it's actually built on.

I would adhere way more to "we need to pace Ai because it could be catastrophic for society (jobs, cognition, loneliness,...) and environment" than "it has the potential to kill us all"

Maybe because it sounds like a lot of exaggerating ? I get the risk of disrupting the economy or the job markets, or cognitive risks.

But saying it will bring us to doom, comparing it to an extinction-level event, really ? I don't see in which world AI is that kind of risk.

I'd rather my politicians finally have some long-term plan about climate and energy than focus on AI slowdown or not. Climate change is way bigger risk right now that Opus 7

You can also check the report from RTE (French grid operator) that models several scenarios and mentions this security of supply thing

Because what is true for these 3 countries is not true for all countries. There are counter-examples where nuclear is cheaper.

In most countries which don't have the advantages of Australia or Finland, you do need a mix as the OP was saying

So many reactors off was a special event of delayed maintenance, things are done so that does not usually happens. And it's not true to say that Germany reactivated coal reactors for French lights.

Germany activated coal to reduce dependance on gas, and Germany exported energy to France because of the maintainances ; you know, the old correlation =/= causation.

That one occurence over 4 decades, I would say we can dare to call it pretty reliable

Someone who thinks doing this while driving hardly resonates as someone who cares about safety or quality

Can I ask what you're building? Genuine question, you gave a detailed setup of your agents and I wonder about the context

I'm also curious where the discuss part comes from, because I guess you don't just let them start on a basic prompt without any context

Considering the people thanked in the article are the same who wrote the paper I linked, and the similar mechanisms, it's more than likely

I would imagine they did not test against Fable because Microsoft and GitHub (like many big companies) have internally given the instruction not to use this model, because of the data retention policy.

I think the name probably has to do with this research from Microsoft (same people involved and a lot of similarities in the way it's conceived.

HyDRA: Hybrid Dynamic Routing Architecture for Heterogeneous LLM Pools : https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.17106

This is so true, especially to have it more seamless in the house and a better wife acceptance factor.

I had a "discussion" on this exact subject with Claude recently, trying to figure out how to do it. The final suggestion was a mix of a regular small tablet (control center), e-ink tablet (like trmnl) for a couple status dashboards, and the part that i found the most interesting: electronic shelf labels.

There is a protocol called OpenEPaperLink that has native integration for HA, and then you can buy various size of tags on sites like AliExpress.

I have not yet tested it so it's just an LLM output for now, but I do like the idea.

fern talks about how their videos are plagiarized at scale, as well as other educational content.

As someone who now has to review so much slop in PRs, I can absolutely relate to the experience of Pascale, their fact checker.

Just from the video you can gather that there's much more than just a visual upgrade. The fact that you can apparently just rob random stores, that there seems to be specific ways to open cars (so different cars, different difficulties?), the variety of activities, and the pnjs that seem to remember you, etc. I was afraid it would not live up to the hype, but now I think it just might

I was honestly surprised, I was really expecting that it was at least from a ps5 pro. Even the 30fps did not shock me

Not really true considering they say that the super secret "research internal model" that was pivotal, is particularly optimize for that purpose exactly

> The internal-only research model is comparable in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol and was trained to advance persistence and multiagent collaboration, among other capabilities

This is unenforcable ; if humans can read for free you should consider machines can too. This is the whole decades-old cat and mouse of websites with paid APIs and scrapers

I don't understand what's the point of this ? Seems like a project whose whole reason to exist is to name it, rather than an actual problem in need of a solution
