“GPT on the platform: Data, actions, and outcomes - Meta Stack Exchange”

“Ghost in the Cloud | Issue 28 | n+1”

AGI and the singularity is such a fucking religious cult.

“Dashboard is reborn in macOS Sonoma. Apple: bring back these lost Mac features too”

A grim take, but one that feels very plausible.

TIL that this exists.

“No, ‘AI’ Will Not Fix Accessibility — Adrian Roselli”

“AlphaDev uncovered new sorting algorithms that led to improvements in the LLVM”
