Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We tried really really hard to make Devin (the coding agent) work for us. But it didn't. Check out Hamel's detailed writeup blog linked below, describing the many tasks of many types we explored, nearly all of which failed. We remain less than bullish on agents...

The AI critics have been proved right about basically everything so far. But one thing that has surprised me is how much the companies are trying to FORCE us to look at GenAI. Top of every Google search. Bottom of every viral tweet. No way to let users turn off. Seems desperate.

I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage.

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

Scaling so irresponsible even the OG tech bros won't do it

Bad bad not good federalregister.gov/documents/2023…

It's exactly what I expected, but I am so, so sad to be right. It is tragic to see openai fuck up this hard. This level of wealth, wasted on making the absurdly rich richer and the absurdly fascist fascister.
