Maybe they're like me, who didn't spend a lot of time investigating Claude until 4.6 launched and the hype was enough to be the tipping point to invest energy. I do know that I've been having good/great results with Opus 4.6 and the CLI, but after an hour or so, it'll suddenly forget that the codebase has tab-formatted files and burn up my quota trying to figure out how to read text files. And apparently this snafu has been around since at least late last year [0]. Again, I can't complain about the overall speed and quality for my relatively light projects, I'm just fascinated by people who say their agents can get through a whole weekend without supervision, when even 4.6 appears to randomly get tripped up in a very rookie way?

I've always suspected video-gen is basically a loss leader for OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok. They can't convince the general population that AI is world-changing trillion dollar tech with "vibe coding", but realistic fake videos are impressive at a glance, and might convince many non-technical people that AI/LLMs are something revolutionary.

Why shouldn’t people have a reaction to a policy that mandates a new approval process on a large class of consumer products?

How are fire trucks supposed to respond to incidents involving airplanes, as it appears this case involves, if the runway is off limits to them?

Is it even possible to connect to HW without a Meta/Oculus headset?

> How is this the fault of AI?

AI is being used by bureaucrats and enforcers to justify lazy, harmful conclusions. You don't live in the real world if you think "just punish the bureaucrats, don't make it about AI" is going to remotely rectify this toxic feedback loop and ecosystem.

Context from the OP:

> Today at 4:00 I will go over to Raleigh and sit in on a show-cause hearing. This will be my first time attempting to live-post a hearing in person. The case is Fivehouse v. DOD and the question is whether the DOJ attorney fabricated quotes in a brief.

The user you're responding too lists a "blood test viewer" [0], which looks to be a tool that turns his blood test PDFs into structured and analyzed data. You're saying that unless he continuously revises/upgrades the code, it's still "abandonware" even if it meets his needs for the near future?

Yeah, it's the lack of attribution that is key, even if it sounds like a trivial and ceremonial step. If a New York Times reporter writes "'Our investigation has completely stalled,' Kings County Sheriff Bob Jones told the Springfield Observer", I can infer that the NYT is reliant on local reporting for this story and may not have done original on-the-ground work themselves.

Imagine how flimsy Ars' story about a blog post would look like if the story had correctly attributed the quotes (fabricated or not) to, "according to Claude AI's analysis of the blog post". The reader would have the right to wonder if the reporter had even read the blog post.

Plagiarism hurts not only the original author (in this case, I don't think we have to worry about the LLM), but also the reporter's audience, who has an expectation that the writer's reporting and analysis are original and based on the writer's own research and observations. At the very least it's a theft of the reader's time, if I wanted an LLM's perspective on a topic, I'd generate it myself

One of the things left unsaid in Edwards's apology [0] was whether he read the blog post that is the entire raison d'etre of his story. It's not like the story purported to do anything other than incorporate publish blog posts. So in his overworked and sickened state, how did trying out an "experimental Claude Code-based AI tool" substantially save him time versus jotting notes while ostensibly reading the source material himself

Why would apologizing for plagiarism and fabrication preclude you from facing sanctions for plagiarism and fabrication?

I literally discovered Ghostty yesterday when googling "best terminal macos" and surfaced a ~year-old reddit thread recommending it [0]. Just needed something other than Terminal so I could Cmd-Tab between distinct command-line work (e.g. claude code and ipython tabs). Was nice to find something that just worked

This is not using AI to “assist in writing your articles”. This is using AI to report your articles, and then passing it off as your own research and analysis.

This is straight up plagiarism, and if the allegations are true, the reporters deserve what they would get if it were traditional plagiarism: immediate firings.

That makes much more sense tbh. I believe Musk predicted in 2021 that we would land humans on the moon by 2024 [0]. That obviously has been deprioritized but how many Starships have delivered 50+ tons of payload to the moon so far?

When the Miami Herald won 2 Pulitzers for its coverage of the incident, do you think it was because people were highly interested in the international custody issues? I’d argue that people were more piqued at why 100+ armed immigration agents needed to raid a family’s home

How many times do you believe immigration agents showed up door to door with riot gear and rifles back then? When it was caught on camera during the Clinton administration it was one of the most polarizing images of his presidency

The Dept of Homeland Security has had its own internal gen-AI chat bot since before Trump took office [0]. That this guy couldn’t make do with that, and didn’t think through the repercussions of uploading non-public documents to a public chatbot doesn’t bode well for his ability to manage CISA

You condition your take with “I’m not talking about deepfakes of real people”, but why do you think it is that Grok offers users the ability to generate pornographic imagery of entirely fake digital people — even tailoring them to be as visually flawless as one could desire — and yet so many users end up using it to generate deepfake porn of real people?

So with that in mind, why should we assume that the unrestricted proliferation of fake child porn would not produce significant harm downstream to society? Is the assumption that unlimited fake child porn would satiate the kind of people who now seek out real child porn?

Yes thank you! I find I get more than enough done (and more than enough code to review) by prompting the agent step by step. I want to see what kind of projects are getting done with multiple async autonomous agents. Was hoping to find youtube videos of someone setting up a project for multiple agents so I could see the cadence of the human stepping in and making directions

The story suggests a discrepancy between the asserted number of inspections and the required number of inspections

> The owner of the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Jacques Moretti, told Tribune de Genève that the bar had been inspected by local authorities three times in 10 years and that “everything was done according to the standards.” The Times has not yet been able to reach the owners. Local law in the region calls for yearly fire safety inspections in buildings open to the public or presenting special risks.

> 3. Turning long videos into action: Gemini 3 Pro bridges the gap between video and code. It can extract knowledge from long-form content and immediately translate it into functioning apps or structured code

I'm curious as to how close these models are to achieving that once long-ago mocked claim (by Microsoft I think?) that AIs could view gameplay video of long lost games and produce the code to emulate them.

> Netflix expects to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations and build on its strengths, including theatrical releases for films.

If Netflix is committing to releasing WB films in theaters, I wonder if they’ll also release shows under the WB/HBO label in the traditional weekly format. With the staggering amount of content that just exists and continues to grow, the “release everything at once and make people binge” model has had zero appeal to me. And seems quite detrimental to how the shows are paced — they seem heavily incentivized to end each episode with a cheap cliffhanger

So how good are the latest coding agents? Like if I asked Gemini 3/Claude/ChatGPT 5.1 to convert it into something that could run from a Python interpreter, how far would they get? (I assume Zork Implementation Language is not well represented in the training corpus)

Easy to forget all the big moves that happened recently, especially since there haven't been (afaict) any major changes to service. I forgot the other day that Sony had bought Bungie, though it'd be pretty memorable if Sony announced Destiny 3 as a PS5 timed exclusive.
