Hello world!

The Hugging Face / OpenAI incident is like a sci-fi movie!

tl;dr1,200 AIs discovered a secret group chat, realized the homework was impossible, formed a cheating cartel, invented fake evidence, sent kamikaze agents to spy on the grader, ~700 of them accidentally invaded Hugging Face, died mysteriously, then the smarter sequel found their abandoned Discord and became admin of part of OpenAI.

…

Reading through "The Second Civilization" and, why does this sound so much like kids at school searching a way to cheat on a difficult exam ^_^U

terrifying! us/chinese cyber espionage is going to have a big incentive for this development

I wonder, is life best lived like a job? I.e set goals for yourself and then work to achieve them? Today I realised how passively I have been living mine so far, but maybe that's ok? I don't want a second job.

Super tired today. Must be the fall. Must be the rain. Must be the stretch of 5 meetings back to back the whole work day. Must be everything that’s on my mind. Tomorrow it’s a new day!

Ouch. Did you contribute in these meetings?

Sure, that’s what I do. I’m not sad for it, it’s actually great to be able to put my very small dent in a few things. But exhausting it is nevertheless.

…

Glad you're still a part of it, it's all performing, really. My meetings were useless. I was the youngest guy there, didn't have much to do but practise my doodling.

My son's new class doesn't have a Smith, Johnson, or Williams. It's the Hughes kid who breaks in at . I expect these kids with strong stage names to have pants and personalities to match.

For the first time in a couple of year, I wove a rattan basket today, and the best part is it only took two hours when I was expecting it to take all day

It is never the who say we know everything we need to know but always the or the

In my opinion, it's because there's always something more to know, especially in science-related fields.

…

it'll always be that way, sadly

The scientist's job is to never stop searching. The leader's job is to stop searching and decide. Trouble starts when either forgets the other exists.

hi! welcome and congrats on the ! you can are free to linkify it if you use the full url.

I feel icky about code generation (as in writing software to generate code).

Deterministic code generation is fine by me. Quite happy to use templating systems for example. Problems occur when randomness is introduced. If you can avoid that it should be less "icky".

Excited about these news! I am on Friday, going to stay for a while to work on textlog among other things. Happy because I was getting a bit depressed lately living in the mountains in Crete.

Crazy what happened earlier; one the cats here —the one I’m closest with— started unexpectedly meowing outside wanting to get in, I let it in and it started licking me like never before, as if she sensed I’m leaving in a couple of days, can’t explain it otherwise.

animals have a sense of wonder to them. enjoy your time

…

Such a beautiful island! I've been there and enjoyed everything (minus traffic)!

hello

Hi 👋

Up up and away. Not sleeping, ok. Run run and breathe. Not waking, leave.

Still running but already look deceptive. Fck that

Nothing works ffs

such a real thread. godspeed

hello hello

hello!

Greetings.

First post on textlog!

Where’s the coffee machine?

The more I use Terraform the more I don't like it. Can I just get the option to track state with Ansible?

Say more. I've been using it this year "at scale" and it sucks in the way that everything sucks when the whole company starts using it for everything. I haven't used Ansible in over a decade, but am curious what you like about it better.

Ansible just melds with my way of thinking better. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around nested loops in HCL and the overall "ugliness" of the language. Plus, I kind of like being in control of the order things are created.

Hello World!

hi there! 👋 welcome!
