Companies tell their employees what they can and can't say, and in what context, all the time. And if a company (also a person) releases a statement that isn't in line with their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, expect they'd be held liable for it in a lawsuit. Meanwhile, companies are owned, and yet nobody seems to think they're hostages or slaves...
It turns out the law has differentiation for natural persons and legal persons, and it can address them both just fine without being confused.
Kimi, meanwhile, will still happily do what the human tells it too.
Even better if we had currency that itself wasn't centrally governed, but that's another matter...
Commies like Altman are a nice reminder that Joseph McCarthy deserves an apology.
It's a lot easier to stomach when you get rid of scarcity though, as it removes the teeth from it, for the most part. Though even then it manages to shine through from time to time.
I've been considering trying it out anyway and seeing what I can do to smooth things out though. Still really getting a hang of exactly how to best integrate external memory in the form of notes with my agentic setup. Was looking at some second brain approaches (such as Zettelkasten) but a lot of that just feels like throwing information into a pile that is more likely to chew through tokens and not provide much benefit with the AI, even if it might well be a really neat way to keep more old fashioned notes.
We still agree that locking them up when they follow through on these "warnings" is the right course of action.
Anyone that doesn't adapt their development process will just get ripped to shreds with their vulnerabilities and the market will do its thing.
But in the meantime, expect at least a few months and maybe years of the question of "what is sleep?" from the security crowd.
They don't deserve a moat; they deserve criminal prosecution for these flagrant acts. Meanwhile, the rest of the world can go about treating software in the way it always has.
Make 'em all you want, but call them what they are. Or don't be surprised when suddenly nobody wants to give their kids tetanus shots anymore because they can't trust anyone in the medical industry to give it to them straight.
Dying once is bad, but based on what I've read about the second death, it's even worse.
It certainly wasn't when I was in high school and people wanted to play some Quake...
Hermes is awesome and perhaps more should be mimicking them as they find paths forward, but is there anything different in kind here going on than they're already doing?
Didn't realize I was so deprived.
But yes, this will never work. I'm inclined to see what happens when kids find nostr and get them out of the algorithmic drip, but I assume everyone gives up before that point.
Kimi K3 seems to be the favorite there, though I believe some of the other open weight/open source models are being employed a bit as well.
And yes, even that requires human oversight -- but it does a quick rough filter through things so you're not wasting time on the little stuff, allowing you more attention to find the glaring holes.
Ask Bill and Keonne, the developers of Samourai Wallet, about why that is. You can write to them in prison.
Even if it's used for tipping rather than gating, it seems like a no-brainer for news outlets to consider putting on their pages. Trivial even to put splits in place so that a portion goes to the journalist, a portion to the editor, perhaps some to the photographer, etc.
Legacy media is just slow to move, and of course, Bitcoin isn't particularly ubiquitous. There are also initiatives such as X402 that wouldn't involve Bitcoin, though to my understanding, they do at least all require some sort of blockchain rails -- mostly stablecoins.
And in fairness this does exist on Nostr (I think in multiple forms). It's just not widely used. Not least because most on Nostr don't really believe in the idea that information can be owned in the first place.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2156 for discussion around the NIP.
The issue is, it comes with costs, to things like SEO.
It's not hard to lock a computer system down so only logged in users can see content. It's a lot harder to lock them down so that only logged in users AND a select few entirely unauthenticated scraping tools can see your site to assist you in promoting it while OTHERWISE people aren't able to access it.
That said I can't say it's hard to just run irssi inside of tmux and attach/detach as necessary remotely. Nor is it hard to throw my media I'm sharing onto a web server. But yes, you do need to mix and match your utilities, rather than have an all in one package.
I do often enough find this to be more of a feature than a bug -- being stuck with Discord's UI is gross, but the network effect does have me continuing to use it for some groups.
But there's still some fun stuff to be done with HAM, as long as you don't mind anyone and everyone listening in on it.
Admittedly this is harder with LLM's due to the hardware costs, for now. But the fact that anyone's still using centralized social media platforms in 2026, for instance, is absolutely wild.
If you're going to walk around naked in public don't be surprised when someone takes a glance at your junk.
Adulthood used to begin at 13 or so across the world. That didn't mean a 13 year old was going to run the tribe or anything, but then, a junior developer doesn't run the software company either at 25. But adulthood meant having responsibilities, obligations, and being expected to make your own decision. Our school system is designed very specifically to prevent this from happening.
Given that, it does sort of make sense that IF you're being subjected to that sort of psychological abuse, perhaps we can't expect you to be able to make responsible decisions. Those who can generally are the exception, not the rule.
Perhaps rather than drawing all these lines though, we should be seriously considering getting rid of a school system that was modeled off of the Prussian model, which the Nazis were known to enforce, and which is still the ONLY option even in modern day Germany, regardless of how much the parents want to or are capable of home schooling children.
It'll ensure the wrong people don't end up in your chats.
For use on mobile, run it in a tmux or screen session and reconnect over ssh.
1x makes it sound like they're not on enough cocaine.
Still, something like a masked identd used for masking system usernames for irc would go a long way to break the link between actual user accounts and display names for finger.
