I already am managing Unity from my terminal, using Codex. Although one issue is that PowerShell + C# reflection gets flagged as malware by Windows Defender.

How would it prevent an agent from writing a script that discovers the secret file? It's not magic.

They also shut down Ryujinx at the same time by simply pressurimg the creator. So it was just an excuse they used.

This is the biggest lesson I got from LMMs. I have a 1 million LOC vibe coded project that I can only imagine would fit in a few hundred thousand lines. But it's still holding up, I expected some kind of development collapse long before this point.

If that's in API price, they may be better of with the subscription.

I don't think the bug is anything special, just another confusion the model can make from it's own context. Even if the harness correctly identifies user messages, the model still has the power to make this mistake.

DeepSeek would print all it's mental gymnastics to censor itself in the reasoning phase directly to the user, before shutting down the conversation. Apparantly such an odd move is a thing in China.

General Intelligence has already been demonstrated to be possible by the human brain, so I don't really get how physicality is an argument against AGI. Who is to say biological computers won't be built?

LLMs can actually make up for their negative contributions. They could go through all the references of all papers and verify them, assuming someone would also look into what gets flagged for that final seal of disapproval.

But this would be more powerfull with an open knowledge base where all papers and citation verifications were registered, so that all the effort put into verification could be reused, and errors propagated through the citation chain.

I was curious what kind of company needed to develop all these different kinds of advanced tech. Turns out it's just so they can be sneaky and trade shares quickly. Kind of sad IMO.

We just entered the era where LLMs could mine his gems for him though.

You can literally today prompt ChatGPT with API instructions to drive a car, then feed it images of a car's window outlooks and have it generate commands for the car (JSON schema restricted structured commands if you like). Text can represent any data thus yes, it is general.

At least they had trials back then. Switch emulators last year simply got intimidated to abandon their projects.

There was another concept trying to operate on a logical view of the world, called copyright. It tried to establish a few simple rules, with the goal to promote art and science. However copyright was long ago perverted by capitalism to instead promote corporate profits.

Generative AI exposes how broken copyright law is, and how much reform is needed for it to serve either it's original or perverted purpose.

I would not blame generative AI as much as I would blame the lack of imagination, forethought and indeed arrogance among lawmakers, copyright lobbyists and even artists to come up with better definitions of what should have been protected.
