The dead internet theory is becoming more and more real. YouTube is being flooded with "explainer" channels which are likely ~100% AI-generated. AI script, AI voice (they pick one with an accent so people don't suspect AI), and the visuals are created programmatically by a coding agent. Thankfully a few people in the comments always pick up on it. The #1 giveaway besides the content is a lack of social media presence; these are always abstractly named and faceless channels with no outgoing links to socials. The thumbnails are clickable but the content ends up feeling hollow. If I wanted to hear ChatGPT's "thoughts" on these topics, I'd ask it directly. I don't need a video to be the middleman while it's trying to deceive me into thinking it's human-made. I don't really think there's a fix for this, and it forces us to adopt the "assume slop unless proven otherwise" mindset, which sucks.
GitHub Copilot moves to token based billing on June 1, and its users got a calculator showing their actual monthly token burn - some $39-a-month users have spent $1500 to $5800 in tokens a month. I believe it's indicative of every AI startup. wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…
@dreamsofcode_io to minimize behavior differences, it’s intended to be a faithful port of the zig implementation to rust. an idiomatic rust redesign would not be practical to merge all at once. but it will get better piece by piece.
@beffjezos Our recently completed Grok V9 1.5T run is looking great and that is before Cursor data is added in supplemental training
Effect is well-suited for agent development, giving composable, testable, observable agents. DSPy shows the promise of declarative optimizable pipelines. Combined with Flue, CodeMode, RLMs, sandboxing, and real-time holistic evals, it could make the strongest agent framework.
