I have no idea why people and companies still trust Google. When I did work on GCP we had mandatory maintenance every 2 months because some core service was changing. Hell I just got a notice last week that they’re shutting down another API.


That poor kid is going to struggle with food for the rest of his life


Ugh just look at all the ruined businesses! Nobody is there anymore! All the commerce is lost, and it became a dead zone in the city!
What car brained people actually believe when they see this happen.


Lol just watched a video that I agree with, that shows again and again that you can build a big world, but it means nothing if you don’t have the creativity to fill it.
So I’m sure Ubisoft would use this. Super. It’s not going to be able to make the next red dead or cyberpunk.


More like the local store suing Walmart for putting them out of business, but only after they pushed away all of their customers with bad ideas and flashy gimmicks


They only did that because they wanted their walled garden to be there too. Tim Sweeney is just butthurt his walled garden isn’t the biggest


I do selfhost my own, and even tried my hand at building something like this myself. It runs pretty well, I’m able to have it integrate with HomeAssistant and kubectl. It can be done with consumer GPUs, I have a 4000 and it runs fine. You don’t get as much context, but it’s about minimizing what the LLM needs to know while calling agents. You have one LLM context that’s running a todo list, you start a new one that is charge of step 1, which spins off more contexts for each subtask, etc. It’s not that each agent needs it’s own GPU, it’s that each agent needs it’s own context.


The fact that it’s only swarming, all agile workers know that swarming means for a week or two. This is just to shut people up


I am and do, I have no qualms with AI if I host it myself. I let it have read access to some things, I have one that is hooked up to my HomeAssistant that can do things like enable lighting or turn on devices. It’s all gated, I control what items I expose and what I don’t. I personally don’t want it reading my emails, but since I host it it’s really not a big deal at all. I have one that gets the status of my servers, reads the metrics, and reports to me in the morning if there were any anomalies.
I’m really sick of the “AI is just bad because AI is bad”. It can be incredibly useful - IF you know it’s limitations and understand what is wrong with it. I don’t like corporate AI at scale for moral reasons, but running it at home has been incredibly helpful. I don’t trust it to do whatever it wants, that would be insane. I do however let it have read permissions (and I know you keep harping on it, but MCP servers and APIs also have permission structures, even if it did attempt to write something, my other services would block it and it’d be reported) on services to help me sort through piles of information that I cannot manage by myself. When I do allow write access it’s when I’m working directly with it, and I hit a button each time it attempts to write. Think spinning up or down containers on my cluster while I am testing, or collecting info from the internet.
AI, LLMs, Agentic AI is a tool. It is not the hype every AI bro thinks it is, but it is another tool in the toolbelt. To completely ignore it is on par with ignoring Photoshop when it came out, or Wysiwyg editors when they came designing UIs.


Apparently a 1% of uptick in Linux users got their attention


Everyone keeps forgetting “if you allow it”. They show you what commands it’s going to run. So yes I’m okay with it, I review everything it will do.


Yes, that’s pretty much all an mcp server is, that’s what I’m trying to explain. The ai just chooses what commands out of a list. Each command can be disabled or enabled. Everyone freaking out here like it has sudo access or something when you opt into everything it does


If you allow it to run bash commands, it requires approval before running them:


It’s not arbitrary code in this case, it’s well defined functions, like list emails, read email, delete email. The agentic portion only decides if it should have those functions invoked.
Now if they should is up for debate. Personally I would be afraid it would delete an important email that it incorrectly marks as spam, but others may see value.


Man good thing they’re coming out with so many new games. I’d be worried about the long term health of these big companies if it weren’t for the solid pipes of great new titles rolling out


Literally who is their target market at this point.
Is it left leaning liberals who want an ev? Because musk ruined that
Is it right wing truck drivers? Because they made so much oil propaganda that they think an ev will only make it 4 miles before needing a charge and that only pussies drive them.
Is it the average consumer? Because there are many other better evs on the market now.


And they’re punishing dispatch devs for their shit choice. They’re not returning the consoles or refusing to buy Nintendo, they’re returning the game that Nintendo censored.


Next they’ll just have copilot play the games for us! Of course there will be a mandatory price increase
Meanwhile clamping down on usage and pricing. Seems they’re speed running enshittification.
