today i'm taking erik (music synth prototype) in a more sober direction; the code is displayed in a more traditional way, but you can set a colour for any variable, it shows where its used via color + lines, and you can edit any number as a knob.

Yeah, we're all so proud of what we've build... according to XBox' management. Of course *you* are, management. You didn't build anything. You just fired the people who *did* build things for you. Why anyone would still work for these cunts is beyond me. kotaku.com/gears-of-war...

Asking an LLM to do something is similar to this: "Could you go to the store to get some milk and bread? Oh and if they have eggs, get 10" "Ok" ... "Why did you get 10 bread?" "They had eggs"

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

If you're an artist looking for some tools. Here's a list of all the tools I created over the years that run in your browser. Play around with color palettes, create 3d mockups for reference, pose figure for reference, create bushtip textures etc. artbuddy.urlich.ch

Air gapping apparently wouldn't work in alignment tests because, I shit you not according to this OpenAI guy, one computer could run the CPU hot and tell the other airgapped one it is in trouble. I wish I could get paid $10m a year to say the stupidest cybersecurity thing you've ever heard

Tweet by Fireside Alpha, which reads:
OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change.

There's a picture of a white guy with glasses, looking very concerned, under this text.

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
