I randomly bumped into this and feel like I cannot abstain to comment, even if I probably shouldn t because why should I waste time on this What!? No, it wasn t. This was before modern cloud compute should already qualify the statement, as if it has any pertinence. This was before widespread broadband, and that s true. [ ]
This isn t going me trying to be sarcastic, or hyperbolic, or whatever. I take things seriously and, naively, won t read beyond what is written. I think it should be fair enough to read this and weigh its meaning and intent: https://www.anthropic.com/news/position-open-weights-models Alright then. There are two groups, one asking for explicit bans, the other supporting [ ]
As previously seen, if STEP 1 was evoking of good old RED SCARE, STEP 2 is all about remembering they already infiltrated the government, so it s time to precisely use the law for its purpose: protect the thieves. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/21/us-threatens-sanctions-against-chinese-ai-models-over-ip-theft/ AI companies that exist solely because they stole everything they could lay their…
At least this prelude to the apocalypse is quite funny. Kimi K3 comes public, a new AI model that seems performing quite well, in a way that is at least somewhat comparable to the most advanced frontier models available right now. This is relevant for a couple of reason: it s Chinese, and it s open source. [ ]
Corruption is the state. You should be aware that this is just the beginning, and doesn t end (won t end) with Trump.
AI cannot ontologically make mistakes. It just can t. This might be vaguely philosophical and trivial, but it s relevant: the moment you accept in the general discourse that AIs make mistakes, is the moment you have already consigned yourself and embraced the narrative that humanizes those AIs. You ve shifted the context and now stand on faulty [ ]
About a year ago I went through a wild modding spree, across several Monster Hunter games. The modding spree, for me, never stops as I simply avoid writing about it. This time it is worth chronicling once again, it started a few months ago. I often completely forget what the trigger is, but in this [ ]
Fuck, I promised myself I wouldn t say anything else about this, but this is too juicy fruit not to bite. There was this official tl;dr about Marathon upcoming development. And I find it profoundly aggressive to the quietness of my brain, not to address: 1- start with a false premise 2- build on top of [ ]
Despite what the title says, this will be mostly about the cosmetic skin system, but as it is my habit I ll go off-track to comment other aspects. The shop skins, that you buy for real money, are very expensive in Diablo IV, but also of an excellent quality. I don t like all of them, but [ ]
At some point during one Easter of my youth I was in France, Paris, at something I remember as a technology museum, but that apparently does not exist and so might have been some isolated, smaller exhibition. But I m pretty sure it took place at Centre Pompidou. I mention this because I remember a row [ ]
I stumbled onto a lengthy discussion over Bluesky, so I ll try to wrap it up here. Like old times. Marathon is a game that is being discussed almost as much as Crimson Desert, but for entirely different reasons. Marathon players resent this discussion, because it s all hyperfocused on doomcalling the future of the game. In [ ]
Saw this being hinted at, and while thinking about it I figured out you can actually make a strong case for this, no matter how silly and outlandish it sounds. This is not as saying there s a magical malignant entity, like a ghost in the machine, that took control of out AIs and will in [ ]
