Facebook and Instagram to add AI users. I'm sure that's what everyone has been begging for...

they're going to try to write COBOL with AI. let's see how that works out

it cannot handle subtraction going negative

Ran across https://406.fail/ and had a chuckle.

Damn, HP doesn't mess around. I'm going to stop trashing them around the office.

It turns AI really is going to try to wipe out the humans. Just, you know, indirectly through human activity trying to make it happen.

Skimmed the paper, but i don't see the part where the game engine was being played. They trained an "agent" to play doom using vizdoom, and trained the diffusion model on the agents "trajectories". But i didn't see anything about giving the agents the output of the diffusion model for their gameplay, or the diffusion model reacting to input.

It seems like it was able to generate the doom video based on a given trajectory, and assume that trajectory could be real time human input? That's the best i can come up with. And the experiment was just some people watching video clips, which doesn't track with the claims at all.

Both customers will still be able to get Horizon Worlds on a mobile phone

I loled

I will never get tired of that saltman pic.

Saw this in an anthropic presentation:

That's gold. I like it.

it's interesting that Yud doesn't realize that Cyc is basically what he thought Lenat should have done with Eurisko

The only bright spot is that the new educational AI model doesn’t exist yet and there’s plenty of time for the whole project to go sideways before launch.

Do you really think that will stop them?

They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job. I’m not interested in managing. I’m certainly not interested in managing this bizarre polite lying daydream machine.

This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.

I'm reminded of that Folding Ideas video where he writes a book for some get rich quick book mill scheme. I bet that stuff is all AI now.

This is all about the surveillance state isn't it?

Huh. That sounds exactly like those work from home scams. Surely an AI company wouldn't do such a thing. Right?

krokodil is such a good analogy goddamn

My first memory of programming was typing in a BASIC program for hours with my older cousin into his VIC-20 from a magazine where the last, like, ten pages were nothing but hexadecimal numbers. Ended up being a Robotron clone. We played it for a while then turned off the computer and it was gone.
