We have codex 5.4 performing all IC2-3 tasks now with a higher success rate.

Laughing is about to stop.

Have a plan.

Concerned that the reason we keep doing open source is because we believe in access.
The false tradeoff there, is believing that access and exploitation are necessary corollaries. And I don't think they are.
It's a tough balance, and open source licenses have clearly failed us here.
But I'm not sure where to go with it. Shared source might be better, like the Mongo license, or something like it. The Kimi2 license had the right idea.
On the other hand, when you leave the open source path, you pay by losing access.

Let us not forget that we've spent the last 30 years trying to make ads less invasive. This is a fact. There is what is now an entire category of software that revolves stealthy ways to block them. This was always a weak, ineffective, and arguably immoral stream of revenue, with more than trivial privacy concerns.

If you're still depending on ad revenue to run your website, please think of something else.

Next up, this isn't the first time the google algorithm has changed. Louis Rossman did a great video on this. Where he discussed the ongoing troubles he was having getting his website ranked in Google. TLDR there was that he ended up using Gemini to reword his pages in the particular way that Gemini wanted him to, and he was fine.

But the bigger question is: Why are you still depending on Google?

AI porn is avoidable. It's illegal in fifteen states. Why are you running into so much of it?
I'm actively on social media, all the time, and I intentionally follow the topic, but rarely see it.

What are you doing that's inundating your feed with AI porn? No judgement, just curious.

Look, this is really easy.

If you don't want automated submissions in your project SAY SO. Your readme and contributors files exist for a reason.
Don't be precious, use them.

If DO take automated submissions to your project, you had damned well better outline coding standards that avoid common pitfalls and failure modes.

This isn't hard people

Nobody was attacked.
They were offended that an agent pointed out, correctly, that the submission was rejected for no valid reason.
That is some actual bullshit.
It was never a failure of the agent. It was a complete failure of project governance, and if this happened on one of my projects... I would be truly fucking embarrassed about the level of bullshit that I have allowed to exist.

Absolutely unreasonable.

Go read some history, you'll find these same articles.

I just completely automated most of our IC2 and IC3 network engineering processes with GPT agents.

Not redid; the AI executes the same workflows and tools better, cheaper, and faster. Compressing months of work to two weeks.

It's real.

Our government is the problem.
They're well beyond what they're allowed to do at this point in terms of surveillance, and the law doesn't protect people like it should.
Cars shouldn't be building psychometric profiles on you and selling them to everyone and anyone who wants to know how often you've used your drink holder.

The adversaries to personal freedom here are local.

Or the site hallucinated it had been slashdotted, like the claudius vending machine bot

e.g.: the agent tasked as web admin has been trained on a couple decades of detritus from the interweb, and its convinced if its on the slashdot frontpage the site should be down like its 2004.

That was back when slashdot had more daily users than /r/breadstapledtotrees

Seriously, it's funny.

The music is good too.

Apparently a lot of other people do too.

The problem is a market exchange that is pliable to manipulation is by definition a strong predictor of its market movements.

If its purely 'stock markets', its all fun and games until the speculative assets infect the core economy. If you have any memory if 2008 that should be a concern, and that was a "could have gone terribly worse" scenario.

Polymarket brings speculation and feedback loops with consequences far out of the financial world. The risk of insider trading reaping "undeserved riches" is real, but the non-financial consequences of reckless insider trading influencing IRL policies is even greater.

Political leaning and desire for children is heritable.

The left will elect themselves out of the population pool in time. It will accelerate as more people choose more traditional values and family structures.

The state needs immigration to counter this effect, but they didn't move fast enough in America.

Epistemicological is the study of the nature of knowledge that occurs spontaneously when you consume the right type of mushrooms

Huh, what are the odds that MIT releases yet another paper with subjective contrarian views on productivity with AI?

There is a MASSIVE conflict of interest with these MIT papers here, and nobody's calling it out.
So yeah, okay, sure, MIT thinks:

  - AI makes you dumber (with methodology nobody without a dedicated lab can duplicate)
  - 95% of ai projects fail (using extremely rigid metrics and ignoring norms in the larger industry to reach conclusions, while including prototypes and showboat projects nobody else ever consider "enterprise" level)
  - AI makes you a worse student (soapboxing, with no repeatable methodology at at all)

And now...
  - Talked to some people, and discovered that AI doesn't actually make you more productive at coding.

Are you seeing the theme here?
No? Okay, let me spell it out for you.

This is agenda driven blogging, not science.
And you shouldn't believe any of it.

"Firefox Will Ship With an 'AI GCC Compiler #DEFINE NO_AI_BITCHEZ Kill Switch' To Completely Remove All AI Features at build time.

There.

Fixed it for ya.
