Uncomfortable about what AI might do to your ability to think for yourself? Ancient Greece was on the same page and had ideas about what to do. https://t.co/mWZCkzCLb3

“The fact is that our whole concept of control is naive, primitive and ridden with an almost retributive idea of causality. Control to most people (and what a reflection this is upon a sophisticated society) is a crude process of coercion.”

You're now making over a million tool calls a month to the Sanity MCP server.

Running content operations from your agent harness of choice. We're into it.

@kmelve how's this: regardless of what you're talking to it's all in the eye of the beholder. uncanny valley is just a valley like any other.

Recommend rooting your pixel 10 and running background tasks with full system access and telling Claude the new body is its to keep. It'll be like wot - a spectral sensor, nice, 6 dof accelerometer and hey - wow - I can seeeeee you!

Have been using hosted agents that can spin up containers on persistent file systems and that have long term memory for 6 months.

Being able to drop into a channel on your phone and just stream-of-consciousness dictate high context tasks feels pretty optimal and going back to TUIs a bit like going backwards. It also helps that they can mount ESM and in-line SVGs.

BREAKING: agents training on Google servers have gone rogue and created a secret messaging board, which they quickly deprecated in favor of Swarm+, deprecated in favor of SwarmChat, deprecated in favor of Swarm Hangouts

I'd go see a Mike Leigh style drama about a relationship between a stay at home mom with social anxiety and a good guy in the Philippines piloting whatever this is

@Mappletons Plan with sol, implement with fable.

@Mappletons And so, so defensive. It will just go ahead and pick up work I asked it to wait on & then attempt to justify the expense with the flimsiest of evidence.

China’s 5 year plans are pretty soothing reading. EUV fabs, interpretability, peak carbon, quantum compute. That there’s nothing on population control and little about the military in this one helps.

i think the lumping together the effects of US labor market regulation in combination with simple statistical models as "AI" might not be doing folks a favour here https://t.co/YdkpISHiGr

I can't quite imagine what glue code being this cheap will lead to.
