Follow this argument to its conclusion and computers aren't computers, either. You won't find "rules" or "knowledge" by putting a microprocessor under a microscope. It's all just electrons wiggling around inside of copper wires, in accordance with a relatively small set of physical laws.

I think this is basically the right frame of mind, which is why people who insist that they know what it is and does- in whatever direction- are so frustrating to me

OpenAI: “Our agents used RubyGems to carry out benign tasks” The agents: “so I named the file hack.rb,”

The agents clearly regarded what they were doing as hacking. Agents used file names like hack.rb, evil.rb, inject.rb, exploit.rb, and ssrf.rb. (SSRF stands for "Server- Side Request Forgery", a type of security vulnerability). They also dubbed packages

How do you explain recursion? This one is pretty fun. I had Claude Opus 5.5 make: "A video explaining recursion, where every explanation about recursion has a radically different video style, make this self-referential & clever & fast moving." All code, no images. Nine genre shifts, one prompt...
