A North Korean version of Harry Potter made with AI. Now you've seen everything.

it's been a while since the tech executives and VCs have talked about "wikipedia, but on the blockchain" "wikipedia but it's AI" is right on schedule

Training AI on the Olympic break dancing event was probably a bad idea. (I have to admit I lost it at 20 seconds in, though... 😂)

Interesting

As an architect, especially one that has experience with outsourcing for a while now, I find that a lot of folks just don't realize now much they lean on the domain knowledge of their developers to "fill in the gaps" on hand wavy requirements. You will ask a question on a feature and what you get back is 'make it work like Google' or the like. The amount of effort that is then required to distill that into wire frames and individual tasks is lost on most. The less the folks actually doing the work are involved, the more effort in definition is required. Less definition risks more rework as the first 'guess' is wrong, etc. The notion that these same folks can just articulate what they want to an AI, when I tend to provide most of the *actual* detail is humorous. What I will say is that the first casualties in the AI war are, in fact, going to be the double blind off shore contractors. AI will work its way up the chain, being able to take more and more complex tasks and likely learn from existing things like code reviews. It will have a noticable impact on labor overall, but are you going to "just tell it what you want"? Not likely.

You'll ask GPT-5 a question and it'll get back to you seven years later, extremely depressed, having answered a totally different question by developing a novel and incoherent theory that will be debunked when it turns out a single decimal point was misplaced in an obscure line of R

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

I learned the tens commands I needed to know in vim 20 years ago and never learned another one since. It's fine. I still love and use vim all the time. And no I don't know how to comment multiple lines. That's what "." is for, just repeat really fast.

You pushed everyone in your life away with your abusive and manipulative behavior and now you’re fishing for pity? Nice try
