Goedel's point btw if you haven't read it (and honestly i don't blame you) is that we can't know everything, not that we can't know anything.

Watching people try to "debug" coding agent behavior is so unbelievably painful. It's just fucking magic incantations

Did you use this specific super power?
Did you ask it to explain itself?
Did you read it's thought process to see where it's getting overwhelmed?

No because none of that is real. It does not do any of those things. It confabulates statistically probable text, and it does that over and over until a control loop stops asking for more. That is the whole entire thing.

Canadians: we really need you to contact your MPs

And we need you to encourage your friends to contact your MPs

There isn't much time left! Privacy matters!

DontSurveil.Me has put together a great explainer on Bill C-22.

Canadians need to pay attention.

Expanding surveillance powers, retaining metadata, and weakening encryption all threaten privacy, free expression, civil liberties, and digital rights.

If we care about privacy, digital rights, and a free society, now is the time to speak up, contact MPs, and push back before this becomes law.

@zwol @cyberia Ok for others reading this thread, note that Zack is linking to Christine's post, which notes the speed of PRs getting merged to `main` with AI "co-authors".

DO NOT be distracted by Mastodon UI showing the start of that thread, which is satire. 😅

(Can't tell whether I'm gullible for not realizing it sooner. But spent some time trying to find sources. 🤦‍♂️)

This is an original HomePod that I can't use because Apple bricked it some time back and now I pull it out of storage every year or so to see if I can get it to work, upsetting me all over again.

I want to hack this thing so bad. It's in perfect condition. Apple should just allow it to be a fucking speaker.
