Reposted by CotyColin @colin-fraser.net · 28/09/2026I think if you meaningfully punish OpenAI & co for all of these cyberattacks then they will stop doing them. Whether or not you want to anthropomorphize the agents, you gotta just land there. 537169

Reposted by CotyCamille Fournier @skamille.themanagerswrath.com · 26/09/2026I just don't think most people are capable of talking through their problems well enough to get the AI to solve it, because most people can't talk through their problems well enough for human programmers to implement solutions to them. Do you think AI will cross that chasm somehow? 3322

Reposted by Cotytweety fish @sifu.tweety.fish · 25/09/2026one really important fact that I think a lot of people who aren't super close to this stuff don't realize is that transformers/LLMs were NOT what OpenAI et. seq. (taking Anthropic as an OpenAI spinoff) were founded to work on, and were developed elsewhere. Caught them largely by surprise. 953257
