I am studying again this year and my research project is on Multi-agent reinforcement learning. But because I don't want to get shit confused with GenAI "agents", I've been calling my agents "little guys" and it is bringing me much joy.

Whenever I see a creator getting piled on for using (or being suspected of using) AI, all I can think about is how we're willfully making the destruction of our industry as painless and convenient as possible for billionaires and VC firms.
My literal 14 year old niece has complained about people demanding to know if her art is AI.

At some point people need to stop and take stock of the harm they are doing by pointing fingers without reasonable proof.
If you consistently ask artists if their work is generative AI, you're actually being more discouraging than generative AI is.

I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex.

He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country.

He serviced the government.
You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.

You have no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable

I was perusing softsynths that I don't want to buy and looked at Reaktor from NI. They just have this page:

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages:

Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important.

There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.

Most people should use a password manager, but there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...
Choosing a Password Manager
Password breaches are a common occurrence, and if you use the same password on every site, that may grant access to bad actors who try out that password elsewhere to get into your accounts. The best way to protect yourself is to use a unique password everywhere (and two-factor authentication,...

LLMs are a necronomicon. If you don't make your circles of protection and take care to distrust the smooth tongues and easy paths, you are going to find yourself in ruin. I do suspect that they will get dumb again though.
I'm considering there may be an immense systemic risk for many of those who are tech-adjacent not understanding the true peril human-presenting LLM's contort and mould minds of the common citizen who do not scarcely fathom what they are dealing with on a level beyond magic.
Overheard a rich guy at the gym say he relies on chat gpt to think. Not a joke, he went on to say he relies on it to tell him what to take when he leaves the house.

Everything is so stupid.

If you haven't watched Hypernormalisation yet, you should. If you have watched it, it is probably worth a rewatch. It is pretty heavy though.

I rewatched Hellboy last night and I think it is really interesting how many fantasy movies/books/comics use Rasputin as some kind of bad guy. Like sorry, but is it really that evil to scam the crown and also bang lonely MILFs in your area? Has Boney M taught us nothing?
