"How's AI going?" Me:

@QuanSai @cryptopunk7213 The crypto bros are pivoting to AI. He is repeating, poorly, an observation made by thousands of other people weeks ago. And the conclusion isn't even directionally correct.

@cryptopunk7213 > Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model > the #1 AI model > without ever running its own model > its own model … What the fuck does that even mean??

lmfao fucking genius move by Apple. Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model or spending a dollar on training 😂 let me explain: - Claude, chatgpt, gemini can now plug into Siri’s 2.5 billion users - so Siri becomes the default interface for AI chatbots = gets ALL the credit - Apple will likely tax 30% of all chatgpt, claude subs via appstore = more $$$$$ - Apple becomes the distribution layer for everyone else’s AI. taxes the app layer - oh and apple STILL HAS ACCESS to gemini’s model weights to build their own fucking foundation model 😂 silver lining for anthropic: they’ve been behind in consumer users - now apple gives them access to 2.5B of them 👍🏽👍🏽 the AI economy will run on ios and apple and they barely lifted a finger to do it genius

@K_L_M @JoshWalkos Why not invest trillions into trying to make a time machine instead? It's more likely than AGI from LLM.

@JoshWalkos It would be more irresponsible not to achieve it; nation to achieve superintelligent AI and 100m robots wins it all.

This push to achieve “AGI” will go down in history as one of the most unhinged, irresponsible things ever perpetrated on humanity by a very small group of megalomaniac humans.

@GPhapkun76058 @AMK_Mapping_ Or possibly the F18 turned into a Pegasus and flew into space where it had a cheeseburger on the moon with George Washington.

@AMK_Mapping_ It didnt miss. MANPADs have a proxy fuse. It exploded near engine and sent shrapnel in a radial manner. Possibly F18 just crashed on the sea due to damages.

An Iranian MANPADS struck the tail of an U.S. F/A-18 fighter jet over southeastern Iran earlier today, just barely missing the body of the aircraft.

@BrownCoyoteStu @d4m1n en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%…

@d4m1n ARC trying really hard to be the defacto gatekeeper of AGI, but also doesn't want to really define AGI so labs can't just build to the defintion.

so let me get this straight > OpenAI renamed their whole division "AGI Deployment" > Jensen said AGI is "already in the room" and then ARC-AGI-3 drops and on a scale from 0 to 100% SOTA models score: GPT-5.4: 0.26% Gemini Pro: 0.37% Claude Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok: literally 0% meanwhile 100% of human testers solved every single environment. first try. no instructions. no training. AGI is "in the room" brother it couldn't find the room

@urivalev @d4m1n No one is saying LLM aren't useful. They are literally world changing But AGI they are not. And likely won't ever be, according to all the serious leading researchers in the field.

@d4m1n it's more like - models are superhuman in everything that has economic value and now we want to make them superhuman at all kinds of edge cases too

@bygregorr @d4m1n Not the one from the guy trying to sell it to you. As has always been the case.

@d4m1n The gap isn't the problem. The problem is we let them define AGI in marketing decks and then hold a scientific benchmark accountable to it. These aren't measuring the same thing and never were. So what benchmark would actually convince you?

@AryamanIyer3 @ThePrimeagen We are just talking past each other which is my fault. I was specifically responding to your statement about why git was created. It's definitely not just so people can audit other people's code. 👍

@jon3k @ThePrimeagen the original comment was about one specific thing: audit trails as accountability for human authors. that part changes. version control for rollback, branching, bisect — all fine, still useful. i think i conflated a specific failure mode with the whole thing.

"bro, just use rsync" was not on my 2026 bingo card

@AryamanIyer3 @ThePrimeagen You keep talking about agents. I'm talking about your comment as to the reason git exists.

@jon3k @ThePrimeagen ok fair. branch per agent run. you review the diff, merge what holds, discard what breaks. the authorship collapse is actually a feature here — you're reviewing logic not trusting author intent. ai makes branching more necessary, not less. that's the actual inversion.

@corbin_braun "Launched a landing page in three hours" This is the bar for the death of coding? You could do that on Squarespace in five minutes a decade ago.

coding is dead in sf

@Upsilz @MortonEdw18327 @visionergeo It's a tiny island. Not an issue. A couple dozen operators with air support take it easily.

@jon3k @MortonEdw18327 @visionergeo Good luck keeping one of this next to all your vehicles/units

🇮🇷 Iranian soldiers in underground trenches on Kharg Island are posting photos and stating that they are ready to repel a possible US landing- 👇 🔹 Judging by the photo, the Iranians have already received FPV kamikaze drones produced by the Chinese company Shenzhen Beizao Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. This model is equipped with a 5.8 GHz frequency video transmission antenna. 🔹 The only threat that the US would face in a land operation - unlike Iranian standard conventional weapons - is precisely the large-scale use of medium-range FPV kamikaze drones within asymmetric warfare and ambushes carried out by operators… Otherwise, Iran does not have armored vehicles on land, nor can it offer organized resistance within the framework of standard infantry tactics against the US elite amphibious and land forces - especially considering they will have 100% air support… 🔹 Thus, if the US suffers losses in land clashes during the capture of the Strait of Hormuz islands, the vast majority will be caused by ambushes carried out by Iranian FPV drones… It is likely that Russian operators experienced in the Ukraine war are already on site.

@MortonEdw18327 @visionergeo What's this, genius?

@AryamanIyer3 @ThePrimeagen You're still missing the point. Hint: branching.

@jon3k @ThePrimeagen fair. but the solo audit trail question changes when the author of every commit is the same agent. the useful history becomes 'which iteration broke this' not 'who wrote it.' bisect still works. blame becomes noise.

@bsierakowski @ChristianSelig Discord runs perfectly on Linux.

SteamOS seems interesting, I have a PC I just use for games and have considered using it, but I usually run discord in the background. Does feel line an opportunity since it windows doesn't really seem to care about gaming, but i've not personally experienced any issues using the OS.

I made a video about building a gaming PC and half the comments from *PC gamers* are "Why would you install Windows". What they've done to their reputation is crazy

@cryptopunk7213 Half of this post is factually incorrect.

wow google might've popped the ai bubble, memory stocks down massively today: their new algorithm shrinks an AI model's memory by 6X WITHOUT reducing it's intelligence making it 8x faster with the SAME # of GPUs: if this works - we don't need as many GPUs to train AI - kv-cache is basically a model's short term memory. it gets massive pretty quickly = larger, slower, expensive ai - google's algo compresses it to just 3-bits with ZERO loss in accuracy (usually models are like 32-bit) the combined market cap of micron and sandisk is $527 billion and im not even factoring in SK hynix and samsung ai has driven up memory prices by 500%+ over the last few months - if google's algo scales then this might crash.

@AryamanIyer3 @ThePrimeagen That's like 5% of the point of version control. People use git when they are the only person writing it and know every line of code before committing.

@ThePrimeagen git was invented so humans could audit changes made by other humans. when the agent makes all the changes and the tests pass, the audit trail becomes ceremony. rsync isn't a regression. it's just honest about what the workflow actually is now.

@Flow2606 @dopefish224 @LundukeJournal I don't think you understand the point of bitlocker, TPM or secureboot.

@dopefish224 @LundukeJournal Bitlocker is essentially just security by obscurity, as it works automatically. Manual Key input is by definition secure.

Ubuntu is removing a huge number of supported file systems from their shipping version of the GRUB boot loader. LVM, LUKS, btrfs, hfsplus, xfs, zfs, & mdraid. All are being removed and will no longer be available for booting systems. Once again, tried and true code is being tossed out. This time in favor of systemd for booting. They are also disabling images (like JPG) in GRUB. Because, assumedly, Ubuntu hates joy. discourse.ubuntu.com/t/streamlining…

@trikcode You're right but for the wrong reason. People will just learn that their app idea was dumb. That's why someone smarter than them didn't build it already.

The vibe coding crash is coming. Thousands of apps built by people who can't explain a single line of their own codebase.

@PastorMarvy Now you know, unequivocally, their capacity to take Taiwan. And we can stop worrying about it constantly. Even when the US is distracted they won't dare.

Why China chose not to take over Taiwan in this window still eludes me.

@digitalix @OrganicGPT I don't know what point you're making here. Is the axe an Nvidia GPU that's good for AI? What's this?

@OrganicGPT And my axe is sharper than my hammer.

32GB of VRAM for under $1000! The Intel Arc Pro B70 just landed.

@RickKiessig @Hitchslap1 If your metabolism slows down then you're not in a caloric deficit unless you further reduce calories. Caloric deficit by definition.

@Hitchslap1 Your metabolism slows in response to low caloric input. Increasing water intake can cause weight gain if you're dehydrated. Nutritional absorption changes, so calories may be used more efficiently if the body thinks it's starving.

I’ve often wondered about this. How is it possible to be in a caloric deficit and not lose weight?
