Oh, my friend, how did you come to trade the fiddle for the drum?

The “caravan” of scary South American migrants that Trump fear-mongered about back in '15 (Jesus, has it been a decade?), they were largely subsistence farmers that were forced off of their lands by multi-year droughts that were demonstrably an effect of climate change. In just the last few years, it’s almost comical how dramatically present the effects of climate change are. Whether or not we’re able to admit it to ourselves consciously, I think everyone feels it. We’re about to hit a dozen different asymptotes, and we’re clearly not ready. So, turns out, fear-mongering is a particularly successful strategy in this kind of zeitgeist.

Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

When I was a little girl I thought that everything, all the abuse and neglect, it somehow made me… special. And I decided that one day I would write something that would make little girls like me feel less alone. And if I can’t write that book…

…if I don’t, that means that all the damage I got isn’t good damage, it’s just damage. I have gotten nothing out of it, and all those years I was miserable was for nothing. I could’ve been happy this whole time and written books about girl detectives and been cheerful and popular and had good parents, is that what you’re saying? What was it all for? - Diane Nguyen, BoJack Horseman, S06E10, “Good Damage”

Yeah, but they encourage confining it to a virtual machine with limited access.

Logic and Path-finding?

So many? What kinda numbers are we talking here?

Shithole country.

I instantly heard it. DEEK

Yeah, using image recognition on a screenshot of the desktop and directing a mouse around the screen with coordinates is definitely an intermediate implementation. Open Interpreter, Shell-GPT, LLM-Shell, and DemandGen make a little more sense to me for anything that can currently be done from a CLI, but I’ve never actually tested em.

I was watching users test this out and am generally impressed. At one point, Claude tried to open Firefox, but it was not responding. So it killed the process from the console and restarted. A small thing, but not something I would have expected it to overcome this early. It’s clearly not ready for prime time (by their repeated warnings), but I’m happy to see these capabilities finally making it to a foundation model’s API. It’ll be interesting to see how much remains of GUIs (or high level programming languages for that matter) if/when AI can reliably translate common language to hardware behavior.

Can I blame Trump on 9/11 or something?

Aren’t they in Macy’s now? Wait, is Macy’s still a thing?

In its latest audit of 10 leading chatbots, compiled in September, NewsGuard found that AI will repeat misinformation 18% of the time

70% of the instances where AI repeated falsehoods were in response to bad actor prompts, as opposed to leading prompts or innocent user prompts.
