@gmusser @melaniemitchell did the human received the generated message and agreed to perform task?
It is the only thing that matters here. That another human did some copy-pasting is irrelevant.

@melaniemitchell GPT4 in it's chatbot harness didn't. But GPT4.5 in some agent harness can. ARC is about "pretendotyping" some future advancements before it is too late. Hell, even official ChatGPT has plugins now and it is trained to use them.

@eniko The Web was never "ours". It always have been a zero-sum race for network effect. Grow and ~~let grow~~ suck oxygen out of the room, keep your gates closed. "Have an account, install our app, your friends are already here" :blobsick:

The RSS (and related stuff) was a nice thing once and even touted as Web 2.0 too. But instead Twitter happened, then instagram, then...

re: life tips of how not to die 

@theo @cwebber for those wondering: Microwaves use a ridiculously high-voltage transformer to drive the Magnetron radio emitter. They also have so many interlocks if not opened up that it's hard to do anything with them 'by accident', you have to go looking for trouble with them

what is gender but genres for people

@q brb, opening genre-neutral book stor~

@boilingsteam Very nice demonstration on how security research goes. With so many multiplayer games out there one could build a "hackfolio" pretty quickly (=

@boilingsteam Basically abandon all silos with more than 32k users.

Being isolated AND large should be a liability, not a bragging point.

@boilingsteam Some dark (and privileged) part of me wants to see Google et al. charging for email :blobamused:

@jonn Perhaps I was raised on a "competence porn" reading/movies/culture diet and expect that people would just stick to their jobs.

People leveraging their positions for power projection and outright abuse is indeed an unending stream of disappointment for me.

With the amount of sex-related scandals in politics it's like becoming an eunuch should be a prerequisite for taking office. Or any leadership position whatsoever, where a single drop of drama can dismantle the entire movement.

Why people can't keep it in their pants? :angery:

@GerryT @omgubuntu I use it too. It's a bit clunky and I wish the default window manager would be tad more configurable.

One of the reasons I stopped making client apps for corporate platforms is because "filling in the gaps" of someone else's platform usually resolves itself poorly. Either the platform holder fills in the gap, they decide the gap goes against their corporate interests, or the gap is itself meaningless and nobody wants a fix for it.

For any young devs out there making a client app for some corpo's API, I strongly recommend not doing that, except for fun projects or things that get you headlines.

@omgubuntu What I would really like is having 1/3rds. With one central column and 2 optional sidebars for stuff. *Then* I finally can appreciate extra-wide displays.

LLMs doing that "garbage in - garbage out" thing...

@tonyg Nice. I hope they'll get those newer Ryzens soon.
