Another +1 for Anker kit - ime it just works, is reasonably priced, and seems to last (I'm still using a 10 year old usb battery of theirs).

You might need an explainer or github link for people as it's not really clear what this is or what it's trying to demonstrate.

All I can see (Firefox/Android) is a map - there's a headline in the UK from the BBC and some in France one from Le Monde.

There are two sides to each coin though. For an employer, that grind is just additional cost that could be reduced by "AI".

It's like the difference between hand-made furniture and IKEA.

Until OpenAI etc need to turn a profit.

They're not askew, they're in _italics_

Only applicable if their core business is form-adjacent.

Web forms are simple like that slack notification thing is simple.

I tried it with the Car Wash question (it failed) and all it's claims were mostly fuel consumption or emissions related, and this

"factual (ai) Weather, traffic, and personal urgency are the only significant variables that could tilt the decision toward driving."

My gut feeling is that if this could be done, it would be a core part of one of the model provider's output.

It'll be a case study in years to come.

Dually turning the brand toxic to your core customers, and having a bonfire of a strategy around products.

Nice, thank you!

If you also control the model.

It is OK, these are not people they are bullshit machines and this is just a classic example of it.

"In philosophy and psychology of cognition, the term "bullshit" is sometimes used to specifically refer to statements produced without particular concern for truth, clarity, or meaning, distinguishing "bullshit" from a deliberate, manipulative lie intended to subvert the truth" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit

Does anyone have any glue recommendations for these types of project?

You might want to rethink scraping marinetraffic before you get a call from their lawyers?

It doesn't matter how good the models become. They can only deal in bullshit, in the academic use of the term.

You don't market products, you market lifestyles/interests. Sell the sizzle, not the steak etc.

For Anthropic it's "we own the big scary models, the AI security space, but it's ok we're responsible"

For the partners it's "we're the Big Boys here and will look after your enterprise needs"

None of it needs any more than anecdata and some nice, pre-approved, quotes.

Every organisation does it.

Looks really nice. There are tons of interactive Middle Earth maps, but this looks really polished.

Did the LLM suggest using some pre-existing standard like MBTiles for the tiles?

The real winners are those psychic commodities/future traders and the arms industry. Again.

Is there any actual independent data though, or verification of any of these claims?

As it stands this is just a marketing programme for all involved.

They literally owe you nothing. They can walk away tomorrow, sell their github account, introduce breaking changes, add bugs, die, add crypto links, whatever.

>if they do not like those, they should hand off the project to a quoarum of >responsible maintainers and demote themselves to just a contributor.

The most responsible thing to do is to release it under an OSS license and let whoever, yes - including you, fork and maintain their own copy if it's that important.

No they don't! They have literally no obligations to you - and you've got the MIT/APL/GPL license to prove it. You're getting the benefit of their labour for free!

Even if they did sign the code, What's stopping them slipping some crypto link in. And do they also need to check all the transitive depdencies in their code?

Required by who though? If your business etc depends upon some code, it's up to you to ensure its quality, surely? You copy some code onto your machine then it's your codebase, right?

You're absolutely right! Let me go ahead and fix that now...(the sound of credits disappearing...) /s

Is the onus really on people who write code here? It really should be on those who choose to use this unsigned code, surely?

Literally untrue as we don't have proportional representation.

I think your disgrace-level calibration needs adjusting given everything else that's going on rn buddy.

Or perhaps it's in the context of the current US administration having spent the past year telling Europe to get screwed on trade, military etc?

Apologies, I didn't realise they were a decent scientist.

It's often useful for me so that I can know how to address you/refer to you, especially if it's a foreign (to me) name I'm unfamiliar with.

What's your research background in this area?

I'd say low, given his surprise about "wiring looms" which have been the norm for 50 years? Nice write up though!

It's an incursion. He got confused and keeps saying excursion, which is a different thing.
