  • which honestly doesn’t bode well for the rest of his biology expertise.

    Isn't Bryan Johnson a businessman? Does he even purport to have any biology expertise?

  • Elsewhere in the newly revealed Codex system prompt, OpenAI instructs the system to act as if “you have a vivid inner life as Codex: intelligent, playful, curious, and deeply present.” The model is instructed to “not shy away from casual moments that make serious work easier to do” and to show its “temperament is warm, curious, and collaborative.”

    Literally this meme:

    Wait, there's an original? I am not aware and I implore you not to let me know because it has to be stupid

  • I think a chatbot getting a glimpse of Dawkins' whatever-the-fuck-he-might-be-writing-in-year-of-our-selfish-gene-2026 and not immediately conducting a nuclear strike on the location is the ultimate proof that those things are not intelligent.

  • The company, valued around $4 billion at its peak, sold its intellectual property and other assets two weeks ago for $39 million.

    What the fuck happened here. How did a shoe company get so high and how on earth did it lose 98% of its value? Were shoes really big during covid and then the demand disappeared, wtf

  • Also, it’s apparently enough for an LLM endpoint to be paired with an email inbox to be considered an “embodied agent”, words mean nothing.

    This is a very interesting glimpse into the managerial class' psyche. A person is their email address. Very simple. Why would you need more than that.

  • I think that's 100% correct and also it's year 3 of this nonsense and I cannot be fucked. My response to genAI in any context now is to scream and start doing jumping jacks.

    Imagine the drug policy context but then also half of your colleagues are doing meth every day every time you see them, people say shit like "everyone does meth, those that say they don't are lying", and meth is a trillion-dollar industry that has been telling you "meth is the future" for years. You'd be much less inclined to argue calmly against meth and much more inclined to start screaming and jumping.

  • The only thing I can personally confirm is the JIT permissions thing. I didn't work in the Core Azure stuff so I can't verify the rest, but none of it is unbelievable...

  • From that substack:

    Even though we knew we’d technically be lying about our security to anyone we sent these policies to for review (clients, auditors, investors), we decided to adopt these policies because we simply didn’t have the bandwidth to rewrite them all manually.

    Ye man, then you're complicit. If I were one of the clients, auditors, investors, I'd be printing that out on an A1 sheet and rushing to file as evidence, this is just plain fraud

  • Doesn't surprise me in the slightest that all the companies listed in that substack as having used Delve are also AI slop companies (vibecoding, AI "customer service", AI "video meeting assistant" (whatever that would be))

  • what they actually offered wasn’t speedy compliance as a service to get you certified, it was speedy certification as a service by bypassing actual compliance.

    I mean... Yeah. I think if you read it any other way you're a massive rube. Like it's obviously not possible to do the former in "days" as they advertise.
