Actually it really is terrible at checking facts. It's a probability engine. Try asking it anything about music. This is the kind of result you'll get. Pure hallucination. It can't even figure out what key the works is in. And recommends a recording that doesn't exist.

Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B and Qwen 3.6 27B Coder were the largest 2 I tried to run. Neither really "runs" on my 3060 Ti / 8 GB or GTX 1660 Super. Crawl is more like it. But even when waiting a long time for jobs to complete, the result on the codebase analysis was worse than useless - only hallucinated findings.
For other simpler tasks, I have seen Qwen write some useful code. But it often rewrites unwanted code as well, and breaks that one in the process.

Lol. I wish. It matches with my own findings, unfortunately.

Local LLM is good enough as Home assistant conversation agent, though.

Ford, not GM. And they are only rehiring some engineers, not all. AI is still killing many jobs.

Have you tried small models ? I have. They hallucinate way too much. I had codex run a whole bunch of tests over the weekend to analyze a relative small code base. It automatically downloaded many models from huggingface, with various quants, and tried them all. Few completed within a timeframe that a human would be willing to wait for. We are talking 1 hour timeout. But for the ones that did, the report was mostly incorrect, with the local models hallucinating 5 different flaws that didn't actually exist at all - according to the large models.

It's fair to say that small models are far less useful than large ones. They have some use, but ultimately are unsuitable for many tasks.

I do agree we need orders of magnitude improvements in performance. Not sure if we will see them.

Facebook knows too much about too many people. They have enough kompromat to be able to survive as a mass blackmailing business.

I had access to 6 channels growing up in France. 3 of them only showed snow, despite a rooftop antenna, due to living in a valley.

Peacock "premium" still has ads. That's ahy I'm not watching it, even though i have Comcast. New episodes of L&O that are broadcast over the air aren't available on it until the next day, also. I'll stick with my OTA, Plex DVR, with commercial detection/ skip.

Almost as if they picked an incompetent IT purpose on purpose to make their agent look more dangerous than it is.

I'm not saying they should have left access to a NIC open. Only saying that the agent could have used one, if it was erroneously left available. But TFA was very light in details, so I was just speculating.

To be fair, it could have used a Wifi NIC, if it had access to one in its "isolated environment".

I would have been mildly impressed if there was network level authentication such as Radius for either Ethernet or Wifi NIC, and the agent managed to crack that and gain access.

I would be more impressed if it had access to a soundcard, or some other peripheral not intended for networking, and managed to escape the sandbox that way. Of course, we would be hearing all about it if it was that ingenious.

It probably knows huggingface exists from its training data set. But how the hell does the agent even resolve internet DNS, let alone connect to a site, in an "isolated testing environment".

How the fuck is it isolated if it has been granted internet access ?

Someone must have redefined the meaning of "isolated".

Yes, I have certainly seen Google maps do stupid things - sometimes extremely stupid things - when routing. Most of the time it does a very good job.

While you can't optimize by distance vs time, you can optimize for fuel efficiency, which might slightly alter the route though not necessarily in the way you want. But it could send you on some lower speed city street segments than freeware in theory. It won't save time for sure.

The only way to do what you want is set waypoints, I believe, but that defeats the purpose of the routing.

As far as accidents, they can happen at any time. Sometimes, I am in the middle of a drive. Suddenly, Maps becomes aware of an accident 2 miles ahead, and reroutes me. Since I'm not a precog, I turn on the maps for this type of thing. On a recent road trip, it rerouted me to a city street adjacent and parallel to the freeway. I got to see exactly how about that accident was, with everyone else stuck in traffic. Probably saved at least 10 minutes.

I thought snapchat patented that.
