illusive4080··on Microsoft abandons personal AI chatbot race with Copilot reboot
I believe Microsoft’s target audience is the layman who is not an AI user but rather a regular user who wants a quick answer.

Stating Christian ideals like intelligent design is definitely something I’d expect from a Christian.
illusive4080··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
I offended a coworker by asking him to not send me AI written things because they’re wrong in subtle ways and overly verbose. I’m glad someone else shares my opinion.

This is an exceedingly simplified version of a roughly hour long video in which he points out problems and gives credit to capitalism.

He’s openly been a Christian since the beginning of his channel.
illusive4080··on LG denies TV spying claims, says tracking and snooping concerns 'not true'
Easy solution. Do not connect your TV to the internet.
illusive4080··on Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker (2003)
Here I am mad that work does forced reboots every 2 weeks on windows workstations.
illusive4080··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
How aware internally are employees that Opus 5’s language is incomprehensibly complicated? Please fix with Opus 5.1.
illusive4080··on Cancer-related mortality among US pilots and flight attendants
Collaboratively trying to figure out an unknown. I quite enjoy this type of interaction of strangers versus the typical arguments
illusive4080··on Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 GGUFs
Have you tried on personal finance analysis? That is what I most want to do but haven’t gotten around to it.
illusive4080··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
What do you think of AI generated infographics? Someone at my job is creating them on the daily and sending them around to leadership. I find it lazy and too busy.
illusive4080··on Why Normal People Aren't Using AI Agents
Part of the problem is there’s so much garbage on the internet that an LLM can consume in search of the answer. As humans, we look into source quality: we can tell it by reputation of the website, how carefully crafted that site is, what qualifications the author has, and much more. There are many subtle tells on the internet that indicate source quality to humans, that AI cannot pick up on.

I experienced this first hand this week while searching for a specification on how much oil my car holds. AI gave me different answers multiple times. I manually searched, found an official manufacturer page, and got the proper information. Had I listened to the AI the first time, I would’ve severely underfilled my car.

illusive4080··on Migrating a production AI agent to GPT-5.6: 2.2x faster, 27% cheaper
No. As a human I like reading human written text over computer written text. I want something a human composed with thought put into it. Not something a human tried to save time with by having the machine write it.
illusive4080··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
I do this too. Want to get a comma.ai device just so I don’t have to wiggle the steering wheel.
illusive4080··on Apple to skip high-end M6 Mac chips in favor of AI-focused M7 line
Same, have a very old MBP. Not sure what to do because I don’t want to wait a year and a half. That coupled with today’s price increases make it a tougher decision.
illusive4080··on Gemma 4 QAT models: Optimizing compression for mobile and laptop efficiency
As an amateur app dev using on device AI: If they replace Apple Foundation model with Gemma 4 I would be so happy.
illusive4080··on MAI-Code-1-Flash
Probably vibe coded. I use StopTheMadness to prevent it.
illusive4080··on You Should Not Update Your Dependencies
Did you not run phpMyAdmin in the 90s/2000s? Nobody was that secure back then.
illusive4080··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
Yeah, fully agentic coding just takes too much knowledge out of the engineer. It’s a lazy man’s button to do work and yield average results. Fun for vibe coding and not reliable enough for enterprise where quality matters. Maybe their focus will pay off in reliability, maybe not.
illusive4080··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
…the best model for agentic coding, is the top goal right now.
illusive4080··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
Their motives are to make the best product to compete in a very competitive market.
illusive4080··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
No, because handing a project over the wall almost always ends in disaster. The requirements are never clear enough.
illusive4080··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
The author doesn’t address: A good engineer spends little comparative time coding versus other tasks for established projects. A good engineer understands the system end to end. Offshore developers are worse than Llama3.
illusive4080··on Ebola Outbreak Now Third Largest Recorded and "Spreading Rapidly"
0% chance this spreads rapidly in the first world.
illusive4080··on How you probably will find Satoshi
Make it a distributed compute problem like GIMPS and let the crowd solve it.
illusive4080··on The IBM-ification of Google?
IBM is reinventing itself, no? From mainframe maximalists to purchasing HashiCorp, Red Hat, Confluent. All to capture enterprise for years to come. It seems as if IBM is making a comeback.

illusive4080··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
15 span of control is nothing for many managers in large companies. I’ve seen 30-45 before.
illusive4080··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
I wish they would stop trying to over regulate everything. If you want to use your tool battery in another brand just get an adapter.
