Would love to see an LLM written bot play Red Alert 2/Red Alert.

I think with the abilities of AI improving, playing games would be a good benchmark as long as they're not trained on them.

I'm seriously at a point where I'm opposed to talking to my doctor because the information may be digitally recorded and leaked, going on a flight because my passport may be used to aqquire a loan by cybercriminals, comparing car insurance because my phone will be called by robocallers selling me things or verifying my ID with websites because it might be used to associate my information with whatever else I do online.

I don't think, for a vast majority of cases, these companies I'm forced to interact with can be trusted with my data and it's having a real world negative impact. Even with the best intentions the information is somehow valuable to steal and I'm baffled how it's not secure.

There should be some consequences for companies asking for things like SSN/National Insurance numbers on job adverts or retaining drivers licence photos after test driving a car, they just don't need the data anymore.

You are mistaken. I am not affiliated or compensated with anything in my comment above.

As someone who went to paint.net as a child this is great news!

I don't think this is a solved problem, there are "misaligned behaviours" in organisations that similarly are supposed to be governed but aren't, or are following an easier path at the detriment to good process or against regulation.

Imagine compression :D

I give it less than a year before the ad is at the top.

A lot of users also run cheap cracked fire sticks and other low reputation hardware that's proxying their residential traffic for nefarious reasons which makes all the big providers put up their guard.

A little while ago when I had a free weekend. I decided I would pre-compute some musings of an LLM trapped in a computer, I had a raspberry pi 1 (or maybe b) lieing around that I had a framebuffer screen for. I think it was a non-standard TFT_ILI9325 from Aliexpress.

The idea is it would display some helplessness comment on the screen like "Help I'm trapped in a computer" etc etc.

Eventually I got the thing booted with it's original OS image and it was running a custom kernel and had the hardware still attached and worked, but it was very outdated so I decided backup and update it, more of a technical challenge than something practical.

I gave it a few tries but eventually the screen would stop working, not helped by the thing being quite slow. Updating in place was probably harder than a brand new OS. Eventually I determined that I'd need to build a custom kernel image using a newer version, something I've never done before and for me it was quite difficult and a little before AI had agents and such to help you along.

I managed to build a custom kernel but the driver for it had been patched out and moved to an optional thing that I had to enable, I was able to build the custom kernel but for some reason the screen wouldn't display anything like it did on the original OS.

I spent a further few weekends on it working really hard to get this thing to work. Eventually I calmly picked up the screen and intentionally pushed down hard with my thumb breaking the screen irreparably.

It was destructive yes but the joy I feel even now being free of this frustration is immense.

I said I would order a newer screen but have yet to do so.

There already is some intelligence fed back to the police somewhere in the 3d printed guns supply chain.

You see it a lot on crime investigation shows. Pretty sure I've seen it on 24 hours in police custody and at least one other show or documentary.

edit: police acting on a source, a lead or some other un-named entity.

I've noticed using antigravity and vscode, Gemini 3 pro often comes back with model too busy or something like that and basically 500s.

Seems like capacity because it works a lot better late at night.

I don't see the same with the claude models in antigravity.

All the cross tenant inconsistency really needs to be ironed out, I'm not sure if it's just my org but half the features of calls are randomly disabled or enabled based on who originated it.

My favorite was when I entered VR during our standup on our otherwise quite locked down and very corporate environment.

While I think this is true now, SEO will adapt. I hope AI companies are keeping their scraped pre AI data sources in their databases as a sort of low-background steel source to use when this happens, although I suppose they are the ones selling shovels.
