With respect to all these Jev clones. commandline.microsoft.com/microsoft-de... blog.cloudflare.com/clef-decisio...

The xkcd cartoon originally about how massive software infrastructure is held up by one open source maintainer. The text has been crudely overwritten to make it about ai innovation being supported by an oblique reference to qwen.

Would literary scholars care to comment on what the Bard might have thought of “agentic sonnets”?

Sonnet just got more agentic. Claude Sonnet 5 is here. Thread post from Claude

I do love a good picture of a pelican riding a bicycle. bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/

A dark-themed “Your AI Compass” results screen shows 29 of 29 questions answered. A colorful quadrant chart places the user slightly above center and to the right, in the positive-impact and positive-valence area near “Transformative.” Below the chart, a result card reads: “You are… The Garage Tinkerer,” with the patron saint listed as Simon Willison. The description says the user enjoys running local models, building tools, opening terminals, and focusing on interesting technology over hype. Impact is +2.4 and Valence is +2.2.

Thoroughly impressed with the progress being made with image prompting. It’s getting harder to come up with dumb examples.

A ChatGPT screenshot of an image of a forest with no raccoon, and a prompt asking for an invisible raccoon

The invisible raccoon photo + prompt asking for a circle of the raccoon. A red circle appears on the image now.

Linkedin's algorithm is getting personal, and vicious

A linkedin automatic request to answer a question about java's finalize functions that brings up bad memories of my days writing java code.

@atherton.bsky.social I yearn for a DS9 episode centering on the line "Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as..."

Images from the Meta AI Generator imagine.meta.com Prompt: A magazine photograph of a view over the city of Dublin, Ireland with a banner that says "Welcome" Some of the hallucinations, like Making the Liffey a park, or adding a giant canvas banner, are great.
