Every single time I read the phrase 'I have been thinking about this a lot lately' my eyeballs roll back hard.

Yes, and “genuine question” or “am i missing something?”

Wait, I thought I've been seeing 'genuine question' a lot lately, but does that actually have anything to do with AI? I had assumed people were always annoying with it and it just so happened to bother me more recently

High risk high reward - I think if I ponied up capital, I'd rather not feel obliged to 'share the success' unless it were part of a needed capital raising.

I seem to recall a reporter being given a Tesla to test drive and they wrote a scathing report about bad battery, range, problems with finding recharge stations, and all a flagrant tear down which would have been great reporting...had it not been for Elon having vehicle logging which revealed the flagrant misuse of the vehicle e.g. riding past recharge after recharge after recharge station, riding the car in circular routes to drain the battery, and plain misrepresentation of their experience.

Journalism does itself no service writing like this and it's exhausting


Hurray!

I didnt discover this until I saw the recent post about its deactivation.


I see no usage stats, billing itemization, nothing but random accusations that are hearsay at best.

It's 2026.

Go get a lawyer if you feel you're right.


Is that what was happening with my youtube mid workout?

Correct. It's not youtube, it's themtube.

I think the operative word people miss when using AI is AGENT.

REGARDLESS of what level of autonomy in real world operations an AI is given, from responsible himan supervised and reviewed publications to full Autonomous action, the ai AGENT should be serving as AN AGENT. With a PRINCIPLE (principal?).

If an AI is truly agentic, it should be advertising who it is speaking on behalf of, and then that person or entity should be treated as the person responsible.


The agent serves a principal, who in theory should have principles but based on early results that seems unlikely.


I think we're at the stage where we want the AI to be truly agentic, but they're really loose cannons. I'm probably the last person to call for more regulation, but if you aren't closely supervising your AI right now, maybe you ought to be held responsible for what it does after you set it loose.


I agree. With rights come responsibilities. Letting something loose and then claiming it's not your fault is just the sort of thing that prompts those "Something must be done about this!!" regulations, enshrining half-baked ideas (that rarely truly solve the problem anyway) into stone.


> but if you aren't closely supervising your AI right now, maybe you ought to be held responsible for what it does after you set it loose.

You ought to be held responsible for what it does whether you are closely supervising it or not.


I don’t think there is a snowball’s chance in hell that either of these two scenarios will happen:

1. Human principals pay for autonomous AI agents to represent them but the human accepts blame and lawsuits. 2. Companies selling AI products and services accept blame and lawsuits for actions agents perform on behalf of humans.

Likely realities:

1. Any victim will have to deal with the problems. 2. Human principals accept responsibility and don’t pay for the AI service after enough are burned by some ”rogue” agent.


It takes 20mins to fet from base houseing to the gate, lord k ows what traffic is like by the causeways, its an hour of driving before you're anywhere worth being and then its a coin flip if its exciting, so its either the ft. Walton beach strip clubs or onbase recreation.

No wonder eglin is addicted hahaha.

But in all seriousness, there are teams of people on the data crunch side of things that seems like a pedestrian insight


Bravo


Discovered the Hackers ost on a /mu/ thread. So many bangers.



Thanks, what a great resource discogs is. Here's the 1st one for completeness:

https://www.discogs.com/release/29127-Various-Hackers-Origin...

It's frustrating that often tracks from soundtracks like this aren't available on Spotify, such as Phoebus Apollo.


I have this OST and the Mortal Kombat one as well on CD (mentioned together since they both have the same song, "Halcyon + On + On" on them!). When I went to a 2600 meetings in Seattle in 1999, I listened to the Hacker's soundtrack in my car on the way, of course. I gave one of the people I met there a ride and we had a laugh when he saw the case in my car. (I feel like I have a story for every song. Thanks for indulging me.)


Mortal Kombat ost had a ridiculous influence on my childhood music tastes, another absolutely amazing sound track is The Saint, check out the artists involved.


Mortal Kombat OST has a lot of good industrial (genre) in it. Bands like KMFDM, but also The Immortals (Praga Khan / Lords of Acid). Orbital - Halcyon + On + On is a good track (more mellow, and one of the many tracks perfectly mixed into the movie), but it samples Kirsty Hawkshaw from Opus III. Traci Lords - Control is actually by Juno Reactor (with vocals by Traci Lords in that version) who IMO is a rather unique/special artist (and live band), who was later featured in various The Matrix tracks. My point being, all of these artists have done a lot of great work, and the mixing was ace.

Then you have other famous bands of that time: The Orb, The Shamen, The KLF, ...

My fav. Juno Reactor live set (and album) is still hands down 'Juno Reactor – Shango Tour 2001 Tokyo' [1]

Interesting, I wouldn’t have thought of that one since I remember not being impressed by the movie at the time. On Wikipedia, a quote from a review said “on the whole, it's one of the few soundtracks that works better as an album than as a movie.” That tracks!


Awhh, I love the movie also. Could be a nostalgia thing but it's just fun. Val kilmer is basically always great and it's a nice mix of sort of spy movie tropes while having fun with it.


Yea doscovering Halcyon was on Hackers as well was wild for me. I knew that track from MK.
