The attached screen grab should make everybody who programs AI systems pay attention. As programmers, we should never forget that so-called AI is just numbers and probabilities.

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

If you're a Rust programmer, your take away from the incident should not be that you should not unwrap, but it should be that you need to have a strategy for handling panicking, and you need to consider that strategy every time you unwrap, and ensure that recovery is properly implemented and tested

This means that NVIDIA has agreed to invest "up to" $10bn in Anthropic, but has not agreed to invest a single dollar in OpenAI. Good thing everybody wrote that NVIDIA had "invested $100bn" as if it happened

Last night I gave a talk to a local AI group about how AI is ruining knitting, the thesis of which was "I want my creative endeavors to have soul in them."
One of the follow up questions was, "if AI didn't suck at generating patterns, would there be an appetite for them?"

The consequences of the recent GEMA vs. OpenAI decision will be very interesting for "coding agents" and the sources they vomit out. Cause a lot of the code their developers accumulated is GPL-licensed.

The people who will most profit from this quality and connection-sapping technology being assumed to be inevitable, want you to give up on pushing against it today, by believing that fight is already over.
