At least AI pianists still suck.

When will LLM's and agentic AI's actually start to produce productivity gains? Microsoft has likely invested the most and not seen them yet. https://futurism.com/microsoft-ceo-ai-generating-no-value

From the moment I understood the weakness of flesh, it disgusted me. https://youtu.be/EtNagNezo8w?si=7Kt2iB0VhUGbV2TC

Today in Prague

Looks like China got their "World Power #1" badge early. US just threw it all away. https://www.ft.com/content/65abc8b2-d290-490c-b143-3f98e116124e

Will AI ever be profitable? https://www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-money/

All my first albums were won on radio dial in contests. The first one was Genesis-Genesis. I also won The Cars - Heartbeat City, and a visit to the The Wall laser light show at the planetarium. The first one I bought may have been Def Leppard - On Through the Night

Gotta be careful..

A drift overtake in a FWD on road race. Nice. https://youtu.be/_uw6Pyo6uRQ?si=shOb9i2a0Tsm9VHt

It's Time to Rethink 6G Discussion

We used to call it OS/2 Worf. Not worth 100+ floppies IMHO but back in the day I'd happily use more than 100 to install Slackware Linux.

The current state of AI safety is woefully inadequate.

A 2023 study concluded CAPTCHAs are 'a tracking cookie farm for profit masquerading as a security service' that made us spend 819 million hours clicking on traffic lights to generate nearly $1 trillion for Google

I savored every moment of this game on my Amiga 500

DeepSeek’s R1 reportedly ‘more vulnerable’ to jailbreaking than other AI models

My 7 year old was pretty stoked to hear this. We have a lot of Bakugan at home.

Will GPT-5 be smarter than all of us?

I don't think I'd go for it as pictured as I wouldn't want to unfold it every time I wanted to use it for something small. Needs another screen while folded. #apple #iphone

Anyone know the trick to getting past the settings menu on Dawn Patrol Amiga? #emulation #amiga #dawnpatrol

we're going to train AIs more millennial than you can possibly imagine. machine minds more reddit-pilled than any human. we're on an exponential to supercringe

Okay Rush fans, weigh in. I'm going to post the very controversial opinion that she sings Geddy's parts better than Geddy. And that's no slight to Geddy who still stands at the top of my list of musical influences. #rush #prog #geddylee #yynot #anthem #pattypershayla #progrock #progressiverock

A new artificial neural network design, inspired by biological dendrites, enhances image recognition accuracy while reducing energy use and parameter count, leading to more efficient AI systems. doi.org/g834mg

Great idea, but apps like these always end up missing something.

Developers and enthusiasts continue to find new ways of running Doom on increasingly unusual hardware, the latest of which is an Apple HDMI adapter cable. #Doom #Apple

Applications based primarily on AI engines will likely not as much in the way of traditional user interfaces, and can rely more on conversational interfaces to get the job done. To the point where I see bespoke agents eventually putting SaaS out of business.

This will probably be another banger like Demeo. And likely the best way to get your D&D on without actually having to get a bunch of people together in one place.

Get a bargain on Max Mustard! If you've got a #PSVR2 and not played it yet, it's basically a love letter to Astro Bot: Rescue Mission.
