Ken Sim made 93 promises in 2022. How many did he keep? Of six of the major deliverables profiled here, the only thing ABC actually did was pass a community plan. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ke... If you want a city government that delivers, donate, volunteer, and VOTE OneCity on October 17.

TIL even the guy who wrote the book called "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" that everyone keeps talking about also isn't really sure what an AI apocalypse entails. It's the No. 1 news story in the country and no one can even detail what it is!

Coding solves real problems in the real world in ways I am undeniably impressed by. I do not know how to code. When someone says they don't know how to code and that's why they are impressed by using AI to code, it sounds to me like a man with a butcher's knife offering to be your GP.

I wrote about the collapse of the BC Conservatives and the defining problem of the Canadian right, that a significant and growing part of their activist base is increasingly detached from the real world.

If OpenAI loudly proclaims how dangerous AI is, investors will hear how powerful it is. And who benefits from that?

Going to start linking this everywhere because the unsustainability of AI feels incomprehensibly mysterious and staggering until there's an engineer who says, 'I can actually formulaically tell you how staggeringly unrealistic it is, it's not a mystery at all.' bsky.app/profile/majo...

"if you pay me maybe I'll use LESS AI" is a new desperate plea I haven't seen before
This game uses AI in various places. A a solo developer it was nearly impossible to put out this game in a meaningful time frame or act on feedback without leveraging AI as a tool. I'm happy to reduce AI usage if the game is financially stable enough through your support! Thank you in advanced if we ever get that opportunity.

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.
Marc Andreessen

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings. We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.
