The only thing that stops a bad guy with an abliterated LLM is a good guy with an abliterated LLM.

How it feels to ask the Chinese ai models for help on something Claude won’t agree to

exiting whoop after 18 months. kept the strap, ditched the subscription. it now runs fully local on zhoop (my fork of noop). no fluff metrics, my data stays on my phone. ai killed vendor lock-in.

I understand the appeal in trying to find the first plausible fortress in our retreat from writing code, but if you think it's "architecture", I have bad news for you. The models are also very good at that.

a session you compacted 157 times is like a seasoned cast iron pan

You can just RL a coding model to paint with javascript btw

New post 📝 For this article, I asked myself: what happens when motion becomes an input to our shaders? To answer it, I spent this summer experimenting with effects like motion masking, blob tracking, optical flow, and motion blur blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/…

Let's all agree that this is the correct and final eval for agi jackhopkins.github.io/factor…

lettuce fans when they hear about a crop that has basically zero nutritional value and an extremely high chance of poisoning them and making them shit themselves

vibe coding is addictive because it’s basically a slot machine: -every prompt has an unpredictable reward -near-misses keep you one prompt away -constant sensory stimulation from token streaming, tests running, UIs changing -cost is obscured from you -the jackpot can be massive

Been funny watching people slowly realize these last six months that other peoples jobs are actually harder than they imagined. AI had everyone in March saying they could do it all. Then a bunch of PM learned about productionization of software. Engineers learned it’s nontrivial to get customers to like and use a UI. Designers learned that both PM and Engineering jobs are even easier than they imagined, but the amount of type A lunatics you need to argue with to get anything done collaboratively is insane. And now everyone is back in their own lane again.

The reason enterprises struggle to go beyond basic chat bots is the talent gap to build harnesses and evals. 1. Evals: do you clearly understand your use cases and can you replicate that in the form of offline and online evals. Do the evals express your ambition and do they push the jagged frontier of the models? Do they help you pick the right models on the quality-cost-latency curve? 2. Harness: do you have a system that manages routing, multiagency orchestration, context management, tool calling, memory that is independent of the models? 3. Talent: do you have the talent to build this all out on the frontier? This is the scarcest piece.

The ADHD dream career is being a highly paid consultant who swoops in, solves a complex crisis with a chaotic stroke of genius, and immediately exits before having to fill out the timesheets.

South Korea has an adult population (aged 15–64) of 35.7 million people. 1 in 30 (3.4%) adults got margin called.
