What it needs most of all, is a fairly complete intuitive model of how the world works. LLMs only have book knowledge. They have no body, perception or experience. I think that's incredibly limiting.

We need to get the right to privacy and control over our own devices enshrined as fundamental rights, like so many other rights the EU protects.

Yeah, super annoying. In Linux you can rename or move it and the app using it doesn't care.

Although having the option of listing the app using a file so I can kill the app would also be really nice to have. I'm sure Linux has something for that too, but I don't know what it is.

The main thing that AI has shown, is how much bullshit we subconsciously filter through every day without much effort. (Although clearly some people struggle a lot more with distinguishing between bullshit and fact, considering how much politicized nonsense has taken hold.)

It's much to early to talk about a coup. But when Trump really wants the US military to act against US citizens, I don't think that's an order the military can possibly obey. I think that will be coup time.

I can't believe we're seriously talking about this.

Trump is already partially on the other side of that war. Waging war on the US on behalf of Russia would fit right in.

I agree. I know it's an unthinkable taboo. Civilian leadership has to be in charge of military leadership. But as has been pointed out many times, their loyalty is to the US and the Constitution, not any president. And the oath is to protect the US against enemies foreign and domestic. If Trump really wants to use the military against US citizens, he's putting the military in an impossible situation.

If you know what you want, its automatic code completion can save you some typing in those cases where it gets it right (for repetitive or trivial code that doesn't require much thought). It's useful if you use it sparingly and can see through its bullshit.

For junior coders, though, it could be absolute poison.

Sounds like vibecoders will have to relearn the lessons of the past 40 years of software engineering.

Sorry, but yearly height tests?

Currently the US needs an independent Taiwan because that's where all their chips come from. Makes sense for the US to move production to the US where it's less vulnerable to Chinese takeover, but that also means that the US won't need Taiwan to be independent anymore.

There was that plane Russia shot down, and a serious breakdown of relationships between Russia and Azerbaijan. I akso thought the peace deal had some serious cooperation between Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey, but I can't find any details, so it's possible I imagined that.
