You're assuming that we are allowed to have this leisure time instead of grubbing for food because, who exactly is going to give us all money or credits or items to allow us to have this time. If it isn't happening now, and it isn't. There is little room to believe that it will automatically just occur.

I would love for this to happen but those with money are often loathe to give it up. That's how they got it in the first place. Sure some philanthropists exist but expecting that because there is nothing for humans to do doesn't mean the humans in charge of the means of production are going to be looking out for you if they come from the current set of greedy ambitious people minmaxing their capital today.

Why the f*ck would authors fail to check everything unless they were just being lazy. Its one thing to get assistance. It is totally another to give up all responsibility when you use AI. I wouldn't trust anything they did with or without AI.

I always considered wikipedia to be "Ok" but then found that their incessant beggaring was making them a profit organization with heavy handed internal politics. So not sure that using them as a reference is exactly good.

I found that a project of mine grew beyond my ability to reason about many parts of it either individually or holistically and started using AI. AI started becoming a context nightmare shuttling context back and forth from session to session, finding the right context and getting it applied. I eventually came up with Determined. (https://github.com/bartanderson/Determined) I am currently using it for two different projects and I developed it for other people to use besides me but debated showing it to others. AI has been a big help to me in writing it but it came from my realizations through conversations with AI and one pointed one where it told me what I was doing was not done well by AI. So I started doing more deterministic analysis and that grew and grew and I added languages and the concept of fsms used to capture discrete state machine architecture and reason about them as well as coalescing docs and other things about the software. An AI is able to use it pretty easily (I have been using Claude but have been using it to help train opencode to drive a project for it). If you don't like AI you can still use it to analyze your software. It will tell you things that are hard to see unless you wrote it and have a great memory. I doubt I will be taking pull requests for changes, but feel free to pull down a copy for yourself and do with it what you will. That was what I am doing and am happy sharing it now that there was a forum to do so.

Love that. I myself first thought. How specialized is this and at what level of human complexity is this team working.

I apologize, was not conversant with all the Pokestuff. Yes, then a Pokeball has captured Mr. Hanky.

That was my first thought, though I love the idea of AI having voice. I just really didn't like the slowness or quality of speech. There are so many better voices out there. And giving your AI an attitude. Well... I guess. I plan on making one of mine the DM for a game and to have it handle NPCS as well. Don't mind me. Just an old retired guy with preferences :)

I can't believe anyone wants their AI talking back instead of working. Geeze, get a friend that hates you.

Well, I was considering giving this a look, maybe spinning it up. But with the elitist bs coming down from the top making this not a community effort but a product, fuck it. There is nothing here for me.

Very funny if it weren't so true!

Let them learn their lesson. As soon as it comes together it will be taken over by the first AI to crack it and then they will be pwned and have to learn the hard way. No child, spoiled, stupid or otherwise will learn hard lessons without experiencing pain.

Flock has an entire team enabling abuse from local to federal and others. The whole point of Flock is to surveil and that is an abuse of privacy. No wonder the CEO has to hide the image of his house. I'd be scared for my life too, if I were pissing off the public so bad.

I saw a few uses of "target" so thought this was different enough. If you say something can't or won't happen. You are just inviting someone to make you into a liar. Cyber is just an arms race and AI the latest tools in the fray. You need to stay on top of it and the best hackers are going to get access to the best resources and get better to the point where they may be very hard to detect them. Then they go to work for the ones who arrested them and try to catch their competitors. So just get ready for tomorrow, it often arrives today. Well for yesterday anyways.
