Here's my shopping profile. I have no dog named biscuit, I do not have twins, six lambs, a functioning nespresso, a dog named biscuit, nor have I ever described myself as "a modern-day alchemist".

Plus, the Alexa built into Amazon is the worse agent in the history of agents. Completely useless. What are they thinking over there? I guess it’s that they don’t want agents optimizing customer shopping, they want an endless spew of bad buying decisions pumping up revenue.

So does this mean my AI whipping boy start-up idea is dead in the water or is it ok because it's not "for no discernible purpose"
Exclusive: Anthropic is updating its usage policy for the first time in over a year. The new rules prohibit sustained "abusive or cruel behavior" towards Claude & add new restrictions about propaganda campaigns, surveillance & weapon development. theverge.com/ai-artificial-i…

This is rightly going viral, but you should know it's a pull quote from a larger speech Pope Leo gave this morning to a group of artists. The whole thing is worth reading: vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Inspect turns one today! 🎉 Every company has that one person who knows everything, but you can never get their time because everyone else needs them too. You immediately thought of a specific person and how valuable they are. Inspect is just that, but with unlimited bandwidth and always at your fingertips. With over 3 million sessions in the past year and >1400 weekly active users, we get to experience so many fun and unique challenges. We’ve seen everything with harnesses, models, storage, compute, tools, networks, and builders’ workflows. We toil over milliseconds of optimizations and create magical experiences so others don’t have to. At @tryramp, other teams have been able to build entire startups on top of Inspect. We get to consolidate the entire stack in to a single product across triaging, coding, code review, and project management. Our in house review agents have reviewed hundreds of thousands of PRs. Static analysis checks that the code is good, and video proof lets humans visually validate it. Every incident is triaged with a custom Inspect agent that aggregates data from a dozen+ sources, provides RCA, and can have PRs ready to merge before a person even responds to it. Our post-deploy agent generates hypotheses about changes, then monitors metrics and logs when the PRs roll out. It provides statistical proof of positive results or negative regressions and can automatically mitigate production issues. The Ramp Research and customer support agents lets people safely query the data they need, act on user feedback, and help everybody win. It’s been a pleasure to be along for this ride, and I can’t wait to share what’s next.

Can't disagree more. We just haven't figured out the new role of humans in software, and what tools need to be created to support it. DX still matters, the shape's just different.

My logic professor told us that if we affirmed the consequent, we'd fail the test. And I did fail the test. So I guess I affirmed the consequent.

This is fantastic.
I lead OpenAI's Applied AI Engineering for startups internationally, & I've seen even the best startups end up with bad prompts. We've then fixed them. We've sped up some agents by 50%, & saved others $ millions in LLM spend. Here's how: xitter.cf/wulfie_bain_/status/20…

ChatGPT-6 Astra composes a complete fugue in the style of Bach -- in a single prompt. This is the most impressive musical feat I’ve ever seen from an LLM.

Mamdani's 1yr ban makes sense as a tactic in an environment where pushing technology into schools, even when harmful, is so institutionalized. But so much of the tech world is slamming it because the alternative they imagine is this ideal classroom where AI is at its best.

"solaris is a new kind of operating system"
Today, we're sharing new research on Solaris, our first Interface World Model. Solaris is a new kind of operating system that generates interactive interfaces frame by frame, in real time, with no code. We find that Solaris outperforms frontier LLMs when generating new interfaces, across structural similarity and information retention. Read more and request early access at the link below.
