AI isn't ruining anything. AI is just a tool. Lazy people ruin things when they don't care about quality.

bridon Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?

Why wouldn't they? Their are not moral beings with a conscience. They are tools that have the probabilistic option to do anything, only we can restrict an agent's capabilities and judge its correctness.

bridon AI is hitting entry-level jobs hardest, Stanford study finds

No, not AI. AI isn't hitting entry level jobs hardest. People and Businesses are by having "AI substituting for labor".

If we do not pursue the common good of humanity with AI, we will destroy humanity with AI.

bridon It's not empowering to hand off the details

Anyone that sells you on empowering anything is preying on your pride. Don't be a sucker.

bridon Why modern parents feel more sleep deprived than our ancestors did

Because modern parents don't live near their extended family

bridon The browser is the sandbox

It looks like co-do platform sandboxes the WASM tools, meaning you can't introduce a custom tool that allows pulling in remote data. How would you go about, say, adding custom mcp servers into a tool like you've created? Super interesting!

bridon The browser is the sandbox

What are the limits of this? Could you replicate Gemini CLI in the browser but with better ux to support non Agentic coding use cases?

Could this be used with arbitrary local tools as well? I could be missing something but I don't see how you could use a non remote MCP server with this setup.

bridon The Cathedral, the Megachurch, and the Bazaar

The Cathedral metaphor doesn't make any sense since the point of the Cathedral is simultaneously to revere God and to be able to take in as many "unwashed masses" as possible. Only by self-exclusion (explicit external irreverence/scandal) can you be excluded.

bridon The Vatican observatory looks to the heavens

Perfection is available to us. Jesus Christ is the way; the Incarnation is the bridge. God became man (taking on like nature) so that we could become like Him and participate in His divine nature.

bridon Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku

Looks like visual understanding of diagrams is improved significantly! For example, it was on par with Chat GPT 4o and Gemini 1.5 in parsing an ERD for a conceptual model, but now far excels over the others.

bridon Fixed Timestep Without Interpolation

"Note: This method probably won’t work very well in cases when game_tick can take a very significant amount of time, or the game state is gigantic, e.g. in a big AAA game which needs to run the physics engine and whatnot."

bridon GPT-4 vision prompt injection

So, the Stroop Effect!

bridon Be Careful with UUID or GUID as Primary Keys

Check out the Data Warehouse Toolkit. You might want to look into natural vs surrogate keys.

bridon Laying the Foundation for a Data Team

What do you call the team that creates, operates, maintaines, and improves the "sanitised (filtered for sensitive personal information) data and analytics infrastructure"? That feels more like an appropriate fit for the data team moniker, and the "autonomous" team described is something like a BI team. Thoughts?

bridon Library of Words

I've always looked forward to this being applied to music. Imagine searching for all possible generations of notes composed on pages.
