    The more concerning part is the competitive edge that these 40 organizations are going to get over others in their industries. Nonetheless that this could almost cause inadvertent coalition building if Mythos all directs them in one direction? Weird things

    Right? This isn’t 2023 anymore. The industry has established patterns to be able to use AI correctly. So that code doesn’t just become mush. Can it still? For sure. And the same code bases that would have otherwise been indecipherable and unscablable will still be as such. But those who look for best practices can use new best practices.

    Eh. Most EVs have things like regenerative brakes / one-pedal driving, and so even that you have to worry about less.

    You’re saying it as if there’s only one LLM. In a constantly evolving landscape, what did you try and when? What’s stopped you from trying again?

    Not awful but not great either. Doesn’t help that it’s James Franco who is absolutely cancelled. But art apart from artist, it’s a good interpretation of the book. But the book is a different beast

    I've been watching Battlebots lately in the mornings. It keeps me captivated while still being something I can have while my brain wakes up doing Wordle and catching up on the news via apps. It also has good enough stopping points where I can call it quits but there's so many seasons of it that's there's enough to watch for a long time.

    But you're probably asking more about like current events tv, and for that I'll occasionally watch The Daily Show, especially on Tuesdays, but lately world events are just so depressing that I'd rather not, and rather read news articles instead.

    It's still neat to watch Caleb Williams grow though. It's nice to see the Bears have a QB who is actually promising for the first time in ever.

    I've been playing Hades 2 so much recently. As someone whose wrists physically hurt from playing so much Hades 1, Hades 2 absolutely lives up to the hype. The gameplay is so good. It's just as addictive with even more variety of things to do. I've put too many hours into this game so far and I'm thoroughly pleased
