This is how AI is going to kill us all. It's not going to become superintelligent and harvest our biomass for energy - we're just going to assume it's moderately intelligent and those assumptions will lead to badly informed decisions and by the time we realize we are acting on bad information it will be far too late for anyone to do anything about it.

Wasn't AI responsible for the US bombing a girl's school? That incident and who or what were responsible is not discussed enough.

Responsible, no (as someone else pointed out). I don't know anything else.

AI technology was used to target Palestinian / Hamas targets (and often their families), ultimately there was a human behind the wheels that would do a thumbsup or down. They spent less than two seconds on many targets. Make of that what you will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_G...

> Wasn't AI responsible for the US bombing a girl's school?

No. The morons who relied on it were responsible.


No. The morons who hired those morons were responsible.

It was of course Palantir's Project Maven which lead us to drop a $2.5M missile on over 120 schoolchildren:

That’s not how we get to the bottom of plane crashes. Why were the procedures to prevent this not followed or not in place.

Procedures to avoid reliance on chatbot bullsh*t? Really?

Procedure to assure no reliance on a single person - especially one so junior as implied

As if only a single person was relying on a chatbot...

I understand what you mean but the phrasing is unfortunate. The people and organizations who use AI are fully responsible for the outcomes of their use of AI.

Prompt fatigue with nukes. --dangerously-skip-permissions

AI doesn’t kill people, people kill people.

Misinformed comment

This analogy is exactly what made it click when I was a teenager.

Firefox desktop and mobile let you install addons like https://darkreader.org/ which work great.

Cloudflare mostly because workers and durable objects are so cheap.


This is so cool! I'm having trouble thinking of all the different use cases and potential issues with this, but I don't think anyone has done something like this before. Great work


Thanks for taking a look and for kind words!

We've also had a prototype running multiplayer DOOM between browsers via WebRTC. I wonder what kinds of network applications might be interesting here.



I like rovo -.-


Have you tried others? You're leaving a lot on the table using Rovo, it's just not nearly as capable


Nice! The idea of having a friday leetcode problem for my team has been kicked around to try and keep us on our toes when it comes to solving these style problems and preventing atrophy of this part of our brain. Might try wrapping this cli in some kind of web ui or adding it to our slackbot


It's not clear to me from the article, are they asking sol to output bounding box coordinates with some kind of structured outputs?

Anecdotal but I've seen it use python to crop, zoom, and "enhance" (fiddle with sharpness and brightness) images to read sections of handwritten census data from the 1800s. Feels like that there might just be a mismatch of capabilities when it comes to straight outputting coordinates but I bet the model is better at actually finding the answer given any tools available. Which I get is a bit of an apples and oranges situation.

I've also tried to use it to identify an old pair of glasses and it didn't stand a chance, so I do think it's not quite there yet when it comes to some vision tasks.


I built macrosforhumans.com because I had been using cronometer since 2020 on and off and was familiar with tracking macros but always hated the entry. Measurement is something that you have to do regardless but the annoyance of having to suffer through their search/recipe/diary CRUD UI was unbearable. With MFH there is no mobile or web app. it's just a phone number that you text. This reduced the friction for me significantly and I've already lost a few pounds and, after recently turning 30, hopefully a few more with more diet and exercise.

I've been building this for a while but I'm working on getting my first 100 users now which is my first foray into the marketing/sales side of things and any tips would be helpful. Also I didn't realize until later that the name, while I think is pretty cool, might be extremely poor SEO? :-)

I also think that these kinds of post-app apps are a curious idea and will become more popular, although likely (hopefully not) through sms as the communication medium. I am off this week and plan to write some stuff about it but it feels really cool to remove the terrible CRUD UIs entirely from this part of my life. I tell my friends that even if it doesn't take off I'm never shutting it down because I enjoy using it over myfitnesspal/cronometer/macrofactor etc so much.


Compaction, busting the cache, and other issues like that will lose significance when you're running at 15k tokens per second like chatjimmy. Very interesting to think about what will change in the future.
