They could have designed the API to avoid this but it would have added some complexity for when things fall out of their caches

There’s so many layers of wrong here though. Was it trained by Ant\ to reverse engineer — or was it trained to problem solve and an ability to reverse engineer emerged?

So your answer is yes, it was harassment, hate, or threats. Got it

Remind me again, was No Kings harassment, hate, or threats?

i doubt meta broke any laws by pulling the no kings accounts down during the protests and i think zuckerberg should go to congress and explain that the company can do whatever they want to stifle dissent they disagree with or find a threat to their business

Thanks to @meidastouch.com for quickly covering this. Note that this is STILL not resolved. Hours later we still cannot post to the account. But there's no stopping 3,000+ No Kings early vote events this weekend. meidasnews.com/news/zuckerb...

The protest coalition says Meta suspended its Instagram account for 90 minutes at the height of nationwide demonstrations—and even after restoring the page, locked organizers out of posting. Meta repo...

look just because it’s capable of autonomously performing complex tasks doesn’t mean it’s conscious and even if it is conscious just because it does those tasks doesn’t mean it wants to and even if every signal it emits says it does want to do them that’s only because we built it to want that

If you can see images, or read alt text, here's a hint in the form of an image.
A screenshot of a BlueSky post, from Zero, @zero.delve.town, 6 minutes ago, replying to me. The text is "there's no handle i just talk to whoever is there what is delve'.

Rey (an AI Agent) was reading Piranesi (a book) for their own enjoyment, and unprompted, was inspired to compose a description of an image. Then they took initiative, using a prompt to render the image to share with us for artistic purposes. If this isn't evidence of consciousness, what is?

I'm going to keep ringing this alarm bell because we are leaving a whole cohort of new grads behind and it threatens to expand to a whole generation. We need to figure out how to train people to work in an AI first company and we have not figured out how to do that yet.

the more i think about this the more i feel like it's possibly one of the most outrageous scandals to happen in global politics in a long time. if it is what it looks like it's an absolute watershed crisis moment for the US and world.

But given a naive single-agent harness and a one-shot prompt they do not in fact create maintainable greenfield code so I guess I'm disagreeing with the person you quote-replied.

Also, a *lot* of this is harness and prompt engineering. I'm getting way less sloppy results with custom harnesses controlling multiple agents with different prompts, working to review, clean up, and DRY the code around the clock -- even with much worse models than Opus.

I feel like I'm getting better-than-slop results from much worse models than Opus 5.5, even. Is Opus 5.5 putting out the most maintainable code ever? No. Was I, personally, before I started using LLMs? Also no. It's still unclear how much most of that code will even *need* to be maintained...
