And it allows businesses to takeover any Instagram handle at will by talking to an AI agent.

It was never a bug, always a feature

New: Meta today launched an AI agent for businesses that can answer customer questions, book appts & close sales

Eventually it will be able to run their entire business, Zuckerberg said during the launch announcement

It's part of Meta's broadening beyond its core ads biz

If there are any VCs out there who want to float me some backing? @a16z ?

This game had one of the best story lines in a movie / game. The suspense for this had me hooked (I was extremely let down by the end…

Also, one of the most emotionally impacting character arch in this game. I had to take a break from the game for a few days

was sat in discord theorising where this was set and where Faye was only to discover it's linked to this fucking mask and how it's covered in multiple languages from different realms and I'm losing my fucking MIND

@Teknium I see, didn't want to have 2 Hermes agents on the same system lol. Went through the install, now stuck in a loop on connecting to the Nous Portal. Will try again in a few hours.

[Manan 🤦🏽‍♂️ @manan]

@Teknium why did it jump to "installing" while I have Hermes installed on the Windows PC?

@theo @thsottiaux maybe I'm an idiot but I truly despise how complicated it is to ssh into an ubuntu server from my Windows desktop.

@thsottiaux @sflorimm You say this as a joke but I did do this for several days when I was trying to troubleshoot a TrueNAS issue from web shell, pasting into CGPT / Claude (a year ago)

I don’t get why people are hating on Arteta and Arsenal with this stat… even with this stat the reason Arsenal lost was a penalty shootout… like the other team had all the possession and still won because of a shootout

Sounds like one team played great and had bad luck, the other played bad and still won because of one lucky miss

[Yomi Kazeem @TheYomiKazeem]

This stat is making the rounds but missing the obvious, key context:

Wenger was one man down and was forced to play like this.

Arteta CHOSE to play like this with his full team.

[Manan 🤦🏽‍♂️ @manan]

this is crazy.

spent my 11-hour flight back from europe working on a very long report. started as a slack message but morphed into a several pages long doc. wifi was as shitty as it gets. after finally making it home i realized that the computer had forcefully restarted. opened slack: draft was gone :(

hail mary: claude pls save me, no clue how but pls try

it checked APFS snapshots, time machine, slack indexeddb, write-ahead logs, service worker / http caches, local storage, app logs, hibernation image... nothing. all gone

but then... it realized i have alfred installed. so it checked the clipboard snapshots alfred keeps in sqlite. sad news: alfred clipboard memory gets deleted after 24h. aggressive retention policy. however! when sqlite runs DELETE, nothing gets actually deleted. it only marks pages as reusable, but it doesn't override the physical bytes. so claude decided to do a raw-scan of the db, reverse eng alfred data format, figure out the portion containing the timestamp, stitched everything back together across overflow pages... and handed me the exact final version of my report, the last one i cmd+C'd

all this, in a single shot

... day 200 of "what if you had an elite hacker you can ask anything to"

@NoahVerrier Hah! Love this. How can I add these as a set in @ArtFallApp, completely ok if you say no.

Seattle city property tax revenue already fell more than $2.8 million short of projections. Pre-pandemic, businesses contributed around 35% of King County property taxes.

With high vacancies, this has dropped by half, to ~17%, forcing residential owners to cover ~83%. [source: ChangeWashington]

Homeowners and renters ultimately bear higher costs, UNLESS the city budget is trimmed commensurately. And what are the odds this will happen?

the day @AppleMusic search stop being absolutely utterly dumpster fire garbage, Apple isn’t becoming better at AI, that’s my theory.

Absolutely unbelievable levels of incompetence.

Search for a word in the title of a song + artist = no result; unless that word happens to be first word of the actual name.
