Running agents locally has a big conflict with git. The ability to check if a code was added by human or agent is too important.

When I was 14, social media was my escape hatch from mediocrity.

I did not relate to anyone at school. Online, I found people on the other side of the world who thought the way I did.

That changed my life.

It is how I ended up working with one of Silicon Valley’s most respected investors and some of the smartest engineers in the world.

It is how I started a podcast and got into rooms school would never have opened for me.

The UK wants to close that door for every weird, ambitious, hyper online 14-year-old.

They say it is “for safety”.

But there is a much greater danger in being trapped inside schools, consuming state-mandated narratives, and waiting for permission from people whose entire worldview is obedience.

The internet lets kids escape the factory before the factory stamps them into shape.

It lets them find mentors, employers, collaborators, friends, customers, and ideas no school would ever give them.

It lets them discover that the classroom is not the world, and the adults around them are not the ceiling.

A social media ban for under-16s protects the enforcement regime, not the child.

Age verification is KYC with a child-safety sticker on it.

First they ask if you are old enough.

Then they ask who you are.

Then the anonymous internet is gone.

The excuse is children.

The prize is obedience.

Fight back, Britain.

@Krever01 Hobbit was THE book for me. I didn't enjoy trilogy as much, nor any other writing until I found Pratchett.

[Perry E. Metzger @perrymetzger]

Dario has one song, and he sings it over and over again. I will repeat mine: Anthropic is not an AI company. It is an attempt by the Effective Altruism movement to take over and control AI research and development. The proposals he makes here should remind you of that.

[Hemol @Hemol33]

Using multimodal models from Meta in Europe is still against Meta's TOS due to idiotic AI regulations from EU.

[Ben Dreyfuss @bendreyfuss]

Does Europe have this inane “data center drinks too much water” thing? Do they even have data centers? Do they even know what AI is?

[Hemol @Hemol33]

This is true even in abundance scenarios into which we will likely venture with current AI development.
People should start developing serious distribution solutions like robo funds to displace price-shattering concept of UBI.

Prediction markets can be of great value to civilization, but those companies acting in bad faith right now might cause unnecessary backlash.

[Hemol @Hemol33]

It's a conflict of interests. They make money from hoaxes.
Not only more people will try to act on them, but insiders that are not fooled reap profits from bets of the gullible.

Game mechanics design is one of the fastest improving areas. Catan was considered amazing game back in 2005.
2010s kickstarter era gave the scene a lot of life.

[BoardGameBollocks @BGBollocks]

Less than 10% of the BGG Top 100 were published before 2010.
Batshit.

[Hemol @Hemol33]

@levelsio I find calculations still much easier to type in code than define them and pray AI will get this.
All logic heavy bits perhaps.
Boilerplate, flow, ui, integrations, refactors is agent only.

[U.S. in Holy See @USinHolySee]

Contrary to news reports, Pope Leo has not bestowed an exclusive special honor on the Iranian Ambassador to the Holy See. This decoration is given to all accredited ambassadors to the Holy See after 2+ years of service and has been standard practice for many years. It is a personal recognition and does not imply support or opposition to any policy or country. Thirteen ambassadors were recently given this recognition. Previous U.S. ambassadors have all received the same. Finally, the decoration was not given in person by the pope.

[Hemol @Hemol33]

From a protestant pope to muslim pope, Catholicism doesn't have a good run lately.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Pope Leo has awarded the Iranian Regime’s Mohammed Hossein Mokhtari the highest ranking honour the Vatican can bestow on someone.

The Knight Grand Cross order of Pope Pius IX.

It is the highest honour currently conferred by the Holy See.

What on earth.

Neat!

Community Notes *do* seem to work.

They reduce the number of reposts for posts that get them, cutting down on their reach and limiting the spread of misinformation!

[Hemol @Hemol33]

I disagree with framing it as theft. Making photos of nature is not stealing from nature. If people watch derived content, it's because there's value added (convenience, selection etc).
Having some system to share revenue with source creators would be nice. However, platforms attacking their aggregators is dumb self-harm.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@Chilearmy123 Content theft is a losing game.

We already have duplicate detection for videos working in internal testing.

Impressions & engagements on reposts will accrue to the original author.

"Free money" means
- government chooses only ideologically aligned contractors, so censorship
- high taxes to fund it which pushes normal not subsidized enterprise out
- long bureaucratic contests which are prone to curruption
- all risk is put on taxpayers
- even if when something is created, we get market inefficient solutions that fail without taxpayer money

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Of my European friends
- one is burn out for years getting paid by the government to sit at home and not work (free money)
- one is building an app for people to use AI to apply for subsidies (free money) from the government
- one is building an app to get emission credits (free money) from the government
- one is trying to get subsidy (free money) for building this app below

Entire economy built on free money from the government
