I do things and I say stuff. Sometimes I say stuff while I'm doing things (multitasking) and, on occasion, I am simultaneously neither doing a thing nor saying stuff. If that happens just give it a minute, eventually I'll do something.. or start saying stuff.

Half a million dollars a year and you managed to go broke?

I don't think you can blame AI for that.

What do Qwen and Planned Parenthood have in common?

Both hand out free Trojans.

First you'll need a camera that can detect mathematical equations.

I have been using my own harness for quite a while now and giving it constant and continuous updates and improvements. It is optimized for use with local models but can also use any API that I have an account with too when the desire arises.

It was a good run while it lasted. Guess I'll go back to self-hosting email. It's the only way to ensure things don't suddenly change.

Sam Altman is a terrible allocation of breathable air.

No, it hasn't been an issue. Claude will stay within its project boundaries and is generally very cautious, maybe sometimes even overly-cautious, about anything it does that might effect other projects. It knows about all the projects on my dev machine and is good at staying in its lane.

I always have two projects going at once, one for Claude and one for me. I'll set Claude off on a long autonomous turn, move that window to its own monitor so i can check on it as needed, and I get to work on my project. It's kinda like having a colleague sitting next to you who is working on a separate project. You can talk about each other's projects and ask for help or a fresh set of eyes when necessary. There are actually several projects that i won't let Claude touch simply because I don't want any drift in my own understanding of what has been done.

Tech = Social media? Maybe to a 5th grader.

If the goal is genuine artificial intelligence (or artificial cognition), and I think it is, then an LLM can only ever be a piece of that puzzle, they represent the language center of the AI brain. True cognitive intelligence will require a completely new and novel technology that doesn't yet exist and it will itself rely on a language model for all its powerful reasoning tools. Reasoning is only part of cognition, the role of an LLM in the AI puzzle.

Meanwhile, William Shatner, 95 years old, just starting touring with his new heavy metal band called "The *uckers".

I'm not even joking
