TIL that Anthony Lane, longtime film critic at The New Yorker, stopped reviewing films there last year. (I ended my subscription a few years ago so didn’t notice.)

I learned this by Googling just now. I really have to stop using Google, it’s soooo full of crap EVERYWHERE. Like, here are Lane’s “latest posts.”

GMAFB.

Quick HomeLab Update

As a follow up to this morning's iGPU 512M GART debugging (re: drm-61-kmod memory leak on amdgpu.ko), here are some pics. Reluctantly, the "ok fine" method for testing the memory leak allocation aspects involves using a non-integrated GPU which requires the same driver, for which this low-TDP single-slot AMD W7500 was acquired. Sometime tomorrow it will be installed in my workstation, which is the third chassis from the bottom (4U) situated above the two 5U chassis (HCI private cloud for GPU compute VMs).

More to follow...

"To be clear, I am not really interested in criticizing any one individual here. In the absence of stronger rules on Instagram, this just comes down to a question of ethics. I am free to believe that what FutureRiderUS is doing is not ethical; they are free to disagree, or at least pretend to.

But neither of our opinions matter, because of two facts: fake AI slop is profitable, and there are countless users doing the same thing. There’s absolutely nothing to stop them.

That is: the Instagram platform doesn’t just enable this behavior, it rewards it. So do other platforms. On Instagram and TikTok, FutureRiderUS’s top hits are from fake LA fires; on YouTube, it’s three-hour long Christmas music compilations with slop visuals of families shopping. None are clearly labeled. Disaster porn is just another kind of #content.

It doesn’t really matter what that content is: as long as it is ‘content that grabs attention,’ both sides can make money.

For the slop creator and the platform, this is a clear win-win, at least in the short term. The only loser here is the audience, who is unable to recognize slop when they see it.

There’s this thing that AI proponents like to say every time something new comes out: this is the worst it'll ever be. So far, they've been right, and they may well continue to be right. It’s hard to predict what happens next with AI, but I have one prediction I feel fairly comfortable making: unaided, most of us will always struggle to reliably recognize AI when we see it.

But it’s hard to blame us when two sides are conspiring against us: Instagram’s interface makes it almost impossible to tell, and creators are incentivized to lie by omission."

The final straw for me with #WordPress will be when they force unnecessary #AI bullshit into it. That's when I'm gone. And based on Matt's most recent blog post, I need to start making plans now.

"It’s not that hard to build a fully functioning, code-editing agent.

It seems like it would be. When you look at an agent editing files, running commands, wriggling itself out of errors, retrying different strategies - it seems like there has to be a secret behind it.

There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens. It’s what we’ve been saying on the podcast from the start. The rest, the stuff that makes Amp so addictive and impressive? Elbow grease.

But building a small and yet highly impressive agent doesn’t even require that. You can do it in less than 400 lines of code, most of which is boilerplate.

I’m going to show you how, right now. We’re going to write some code together and go from zero lines of code to “oh wow, this is… a game changer.”

I urge you to follow along. No, really. You might think you can just read this and that you don’t have to type out the code, but it’s less than 400 lines of code. I need you to feel how little code it is and I want you to see this with your own eyes in your own terminal in your own folders.

Here’s what we need:

- Go
- Anthropic API key that you set as an environment variable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

If there's two things I dislike strongly, it's Act - the Atlas Network aligned 8% party swilling in racism - and AI.

Put them together and you get this mess.

Then lie about knowing AI was involved. Act list MP Todd Stephenson (who lives in QT) claimed:

"After Act used the image in a graphic, it was pointed out to us that the photo was likely AI-generated..."

They couldn't tell the difference?

Yeah, nah.

So just to make sure I am not missing something:

People who declare that they are "AI and Quantum Computing experts" are really confused, correct. Those two skill sets have nearly nothing to do with another. They are saying "Buzzword Bingo Expert."
