Well said

Much has been discussed about AI coding but there's been a lack of discussion on the design/UX side as that's also a step being rushed by via prompting + "looks pretty enough".

We're entering an era of hyper dense UIs with plenty of excess and quick workarounds.

It's fine in isolation to have help text for complex interfaces needing explanation. Better yet contextual hints.

But there's about 10 other examples explaining intention of the coding rather than immediately useful information to the user, it's all over this one site in small grey text. And I guarantee you nobody is reading them carefully. Just like how nobody likes reading a 15 line LLM code comment over a simple function.

Most of it could be better solved with more thoughtful design or deleted. The link explanation is particularly egregious.

You can spot vibecoded websites by how they include the prompt or commit-style comments into the literal interface, instead of communicating it via visual context (or simply excluding it)

> Sort by any column; values the run could not produce always sort last. Hover a cost for how it was priced, a latency for the endpoint. Names link to each project.

A designer would never write this, but an LLM just inserts it by making it small grey text next to the interface, just like it does with inane code comments.

That's fair

The obvious questions is when the intelligence needed to be updated (ie, when Iran decided to put a girls school on a military base) and when Iran made that fact public, or at least when the US intel should have figured it out with satellites and other sources.

If it's years old then definitely on human. Intelligence will always be flaky in these hostile countries.

I would never run Grok Bot or Muse with any sort of authentication.

I did try booking a flight with Muse and it worked surprisingly well. But I never used it after.

Lucille Ball's voice changed dramatically over the course of the 6yr show from heavy smoking. Their show was sponsored by cigarette companies and she used to hand out cigarettes on a platter to guest when they came over to her house.

The headline says "contributed to missile strike", not caused it.

They also give them to Google in Gmail

Even talented teams given lots of independence and a large budget can coast and meander during development, and more importantly not release the interesting stuff in a timely manner (see GTA6).

At least with the Netflix model they fund every director available, including independent and C-list directors, and release everything quickly, using quantity to mask quality issues. Bigco Gaming is addicted to the 5yrs+ in-development blockbuster model and it's not producing many hits and the public notices that sort of thing.

Fable 5.1 wasn't that much different than Fable 5 though.

Which congress rejected, they are the ones who control NASA's budget.

Agreed, Claude has a "Claude Design" tool but doesn't publish any frontend brenchmarks. Maybe the industry will develop one.

These articles always assume the MCP is being used by technical people. MCP can be used via plugins on OpenAI/Claude marketplaces by random corporate users who don't know what a terminal is.

You might be right, it likely needs a full proper PC setup with the test suite stuff. I was looking at this vendor, https://www.gmktec.com/collections/all there's this whole AI mini-pc market but they aren't quite a full dev machine replacement

> Task declares the container image and command, compute requests and limits, environment variables [...] Declares listeners the task exposes and an egress allowlist of hosts and ports the sandbox may reach. Use it to restrict an agent to, say, your LLM provider and your Git host.

I'm planning to buy a whole linux mini-PC to run my agents/code servers for more isolation. Codex/Claude Code let you run prompts on code over ssh (same with most IDEs) even on the desktop apps.

I wonder if that's going to be the new standard practice. You get a work laptop and an isolated agent box.

Running access control and network whitelists is always a maintenance challenge and it's easy to make mistakes.

Leveling off means it's declining as a percentage share of all energy usage... but China's total energy usage has grown massively during that time, and so has investment in coal business which has kept up with demand. See in chart form: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_policy_of_China#/media/...

> 2025 also saw China commission 78 GW of new coal power capacity, which is more than India’s net coal power additions over a ten-year period from 2015 to 2024, even though India operates the world’s second-largest coal power fleet. https://globalenergymonitor.org/research/built-peak-coal-pow...

The last time the US built a large new coal operation was 13yrs ago. China has done great things with renewables and nuclear, but that's because they build absolutely everything available, which is why their energy is so much cheaper in China than North America and Europe. Which translates into manufacturing plants being much cheaper to run.

The adtech/data broker business is still very lively in EU. The last time I read into it a year or two ago the consensus seemed to be the privacy gains over the last decade have been modest at best. There was a few big name trackers that were forced to narrow data collection but the general ad/location tracking and data broker business is still mostly the same.

China invested heavily into oil, gas, and coal for energy. Their coal use is still expanding, just like their big investments in solar, wind, and nuclear. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/chinas-coal-power-ri...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_in_China

> By 2025, coal accounted for approximately 54.6% of China's electricity generation

> agents converted 430,000 lines of TypeScript into 800,000 lines of production Rust

The +400k new lines were probably code comments the agents added to everything

I’m sure all the big enterprise sales teams couldn’t wait to publish the new blog post about how their model hacked a bunch of companies and exposed Google to legal risk.

Meanwhile social media is suddenly buzzing that Gemini can run wild and compromise your data, so they all want to switch over from Claude to Gemini to use it for serious work

If they didn’t publicly admit this then it was a sign they are trying to hide it to keep their high stock price. If they do publish it’s just marketing to boost their stock price.

So what's the solution? Another rent-seeking system where any future information an AI learns about the world has to be carefully attributed for the possibility that someone might take a piece. A whole patent-troll/music industry style mass buy up of AI information rights with a team of lawyers sending out DMCA warnings hooked into every harness.

Does it get paid out on training or is it like music where if the model output is vaguely similar to something someone else created they get a royalty.

I said early Soviet for a reason.

That plus in the early days traditional/classical architecture was rejected as "bourgeois" or aristocratic by the socialist movements who pushed for modernist approaches. See: the early days of soviet architecture and even Bauhaus in Germany was based on left-leaning/utopian ideas.

So it had dual pressure, from economics because it was cheaper/efficient and from the cultural reform side.

One difference is in the US they subsidize corn, which makes it cheaper domestically and the support farmers get makes them more competitive on global markets. Canada does supply control on dairy, which drives up prices domestically and prevents competition. There's a reason one is called a cartel.

Canada has long had a very good free trade deal with the EU, which eliminated 98% of tariffs in 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Economic_and_Tra...

To visit the mens clothing section of brands like Zara or H&M at a mall you often have to walk through the women’s section on the first floor, then go up an escalator, then walk through the top floor’s second women's section to find the men’s section hidden away on the other half.

I wasn't really sold on the argument initially, given they admit there's some real lossless usecases, but this is a good bit from the conclusion:

> Not to mention an additional compatibility headache now exists for anyone just trying to download an image from the Internet and use it somewhere – it was hard enough to get widespread WebP adoption, and I don't think it's worth doubling the pain by having to climb the same hill for AVIF and JPEG XL. Especially when JPEG XL doesn't appear to add anything to the Web platform.

It is very annoying downloading an image for the web and then trying to upload it somewhere else also on the web during these transition periods.

I learned from publishing a javascript library that people were supposed to put on their own websites then customize, that people don't really understand async/await even if they pretend to know JS and that you should avoid it in baseline documentation. That's changed a bit since this demographic started using LLMs but I'm still a bit wary. I almost don't blame them after using it for nearly a decade.
