What makes you think non-military tech doesn’t have backdoors?

You know they call Intel? They call it an “arms dealer” because they want their chips to be everywhere. Qualcomm wants the same.

That’s not true. Billionaires have most of their net worth tied up in investments. Those investments fund companies that employ working people. They expand the economy and create more opportunity. Mark Zuckerberg famously declined to play the collusion game with Steve Jobs and ended up starting the trend of ultra high salaries in tech.

> AI does not understand accountability, trust, culture, unwritten rules, ethical trade-offs or fairness, all of which shape reputational risk and ultimately drive revenue growth and profit margins.

This reminds me of the book The Redemption of Time. An alien society incapable of lying has no other way to understand deception than to study an actual human mind. The different ways that we are capable of thinking can be so hard to capture in an artificial system.

At the same time, more people are getting news from independent sources on social media and self publishing platforms. I can’t remember the last time I watched cable news.

This is an important point. You have a giant conglomerate with a constant growth of new conflicts for their customers.

You can if you long press the link and then choose to open in new tab.

Because the AI models are not that capable. They have breadth, but they require a lot of direction to accomplish anything more than a simple PR. We are far from AGI.

How much debt? From what?

I don’t buy that. The old way still exists, it’s just way less convenient. It reminds me of punk rock bands that self published and followed the DIY approach versus bands that sold out the record label approach. It’s hard to DIY but you can do it if you really want to.

Then organize the old fashion way people did before social media was a thing. Otherwise, accept the convenience of social media has strings attached.

It’s all marketing nonsense. Along with the “AI is dangerous” and “we’re all going to lose our jobs” messaging they do, it’s just to sell the services.

Using agents for a first pass is a good way to speed up the review cycle. This way contributors can get near immediate feedback before a human needs to weigh in. This doesn’t replace the human review, but augments it. Each time your agent misses something, update your code review guidelines.

They need to add tamagotchi pets to the TUI so you stay awake while approving commands.

Wish this came with MagSafe so my toddler doesn’t rip this off our island.

This. Twitter was always a dumpster fire. The people who were part of the old dumpster fire are just mad that it’s someone else’s dumpster fire now.

Covid workers really made many Americans feel guilty about tipping more and it never reset.

Not true. Meta’s target demographic aren’t billionaires. They are targeting a wide spectrum of normal people.

I hate these glasses, but why do you need to ban them? Meta operates at scale, so it will only stay in this business if a considerable number of people buy this. Vote with your money. There are legitimate uses for camera glasses (journalism, action sports, etc.).

Meanwhile, Nintendo with a tiny fraction of MS market cap is absolutely killing it with their legacy IP.

Sony LinkBuds Fit

Thank you for this. I built a similar open tool for generic mouse customization on macOS (https://github.com/pokstad/mousechords), but I also needed an open Bolt receiver configuration manager.

I was intrigued by nano claws more “secure” marketing, but I couldn’t believe how loose and vibe coded the installation and set up process was. My god it’s full of prompts.

Bicycle rights!

Great name

Isn’t the whole point of a brand to be recognizable? If customers couldn’t make this association from the start, what value does this provide?

That's assuming that LLMs aren't approaching some asymptote that doesn't cross over to AGI.

I kept coming back to his course listing to find some that were on site, but they were all online. I wanted to take my current team to the same onsite experience I had with Dave over 15 years ago. Classes taught in person are so much better.

You’re posting on a website hosted in a data center. Lack of self awareness.

Exactly. The same way that selling alcohol doesn’t require a paper trail of every beer I’ve bought.
