AI can write the code now, so why am I still making myself learn it line by line?

Genuine question I keep going back and forth on. Since AI got good at writing code, it's not obvious anymore that grinding through syntax and debugging by hand is worth the time versus just directing AI and reviewing its output. Where do people her…

Someone explain it to me like. I’m five. They know they can shut the data centers off, right?

All this “Oh we need to pause because AI can kill us all” talk coming from the people that spent the largest capital in human history for the non existent ROI…. How? How can a trillion parameter model “copy itself”? Where? This is not a 256kb virus. H…

TL;DR: A UC Berkeley digital-forensics researcher just told an interviewer the exact number that quietly retires "voice as password." Ten seconds, per Hany Farid — that's the entire audio budget a bank's voice-biometric layer …

COBRA-Skills: Contextual Bandits for Efficient Agent Skill Optimization (Open Source)

We’ve been exploring how to make Agent Skill optimization more efficient. A lot of existing methods follow a generate–execute–analyze–refine loop: candidate skills are executed on real tasks, failure traces are analyzed, and the skills are repeatedly r…
