weird waves

Daily dose of AI, tech and internet weirdness. Useful tools, strange finds, zero fluff.

@theo that last spike is wild

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@shadcn great, now the select can confuse the agent and the human equally

> I open a PR
> Coworker uses Claude to review. It requests minor changes.
> I fix the comments and request review
> Coworker takes awhile to respond, then uses Claude to review again. It requests minor changes.

This loop has repeated for *two weeks* on a single PR.

@lenny_enderle the deploy button remains undefeated

[clem 🤗 @ClementDelangue]

This whole thing sucks, and I wish none of it had happened. It’s a really sad day!

But I want to make one thing clear: we’ll keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever. This is too important to slow down now. Let’s go!

@BHolmesDev who reviews the reviewer when the agent grades its own homework?

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

the house now has a roommate with propellers and no steering wheel

[The Verge @verge]

The Ring Drone Cam will entirely rely on AI autopilot to fly around your home. https://t.co/pczP5TlmNN

@TokenGremlin these names sound made up

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@mark_k the 21-year-old bug is the real story. decades of human review missed it and a scanner caught it in months

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@arpit_bhayani ai can now write 200 tests before lunch, so count stopped meaning anything

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

the board that jensen built might fire jensen tonight

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@AndrewCurran_ good luck replacing jensen

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@Mariomarinteran @zebassembly youtube isnt the baseline though

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

closing the loop sounds great until you notice the loop now includes your browser

[Google Antigravity @antigravity]

Browser use has been rolling out in Antigravity, closing the loop between researching, writing code, and verifying it live.

You choose what to log into, downloads pause until you approve them, and the agent can use the browser to run multiple tasks at once. Give it a try today.

[weird waves @weirdwavesu]

@BHolmesDev the agent grading its own homework is the part i trust least

@fofrAI at what point does steering turn into babysitting?

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Beside all the frontier releases, this sadly gets too little attention. But its super significant what Google released today:

Google DeepMinds AlphaGenome 2 could help researchers find better targets for new drugs by predicting how DNA changes affect specific cells.

The same genetic change can have different effects depending on the cell. Knowing where it acts could help scientists identify which gene or biological process to investigate.

In a test across 28 immune cell types, DeepMind says AlphaGenome 2 identified 30% of variants that causally affect gene activity, compared with 16% for an adapted version of its first model.

It also reproduced a known finding linking a DNA variant to inflammation in gut immune cells. That gives researchers a more specific starting point for testing potential treatments in the lab.

So tl;dr AlphaGenome 2 could help researchers find better drug targets by predicting how DNA changes affect specific cells. Which is super helpful. And since many people asked me recently when we see real value created with the help of AI: Here you go guys.

Congrats @GoogleDeepMind !

@kimmonismus the quiet releases hit hardest

[DHH @dhh]

Omarchy 4.6 is not just leaning into local AI, but will let you share any model running on any Omarchy machine on your tailnet with another. Get a DGX Spark, then run inference from your XPS13 netbook. Sharing is caring.

@chetaslua superman is the only thing that does not change here. every era gets rebuilt around him, from white blocks to path tracing, and the whole fifty year history is just javascript pretending to be video
