I'd argue that humans are not on one smart/dumb axis either. Recent OpenAI math drama shows how math people can be both very intelligent and extremely stupid at the same time
With LLMs, we like to think of "smart" and "dumb" as one axis (because we think of humans this way).
I'd like to argue against this framing. Instead, try to think of "smart" and "dumb" as two different axes. A model can be incredibly smart AND dumb at the same time.
For a good example of this, look at a Gemini model. They are incredibly smart: you can bench them and see the capability. The amount of knowledge Google bakes into their models is incredible. Yet when you ask it to do work, the amount of stupid things the models will do is similarly incredible. They are "smart" and "dumb" at the same time.
Similarly, look at a model like Fable 5.1. It is not quite as smart as Astra, but it is significantly less dumb. Astra is still the smartest model available today, but it is also one of the dumbest, regularly doing things that make literally no sense whatsoever.
Finding the right balance of both "smart" and "dumb" is a challenge that everyone needs to figure out, from users to researchers. If we stop thinking of it as either-or and instead realize both can exist together, understanding model behavior gets much easier.

I'm in a video game!
I published a game, it is called @valigo. It is coded in C++ with raylib (thanks @raysan5). You can play in your browser at lemire.me/games/valigo/ Link to the source code on the page.

Remember when they used to make an actual operating system?
We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together:
· Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise
· Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant
· Home: Chat + Cowork together
· Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!)
Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it.
The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

Legitimate creators get maliciously copyright striked left and right, but sure let's push more slop into the feed instead of fixing real problems, because children are not retarded enough already!
And in 15 years another ex Google CEO will be giving a speech to a stadium of hopeless graduates saying "but it happened somehow"

A burp of an average pub geezer is more toxic to the environment than you thanking Fable on all your 200/mo limit
BREAKING: the UK government publishes official rules on how to use AI:
1. Ask first if you really need to use AI
2. Check if a spreadsheet can do the job before using AI
3. Choose the worst model possible so it uses less energy
4. Keep prompts short to reduce the environmental impact
5. In general, use AI only when necessary, as a climate-saving measure
With a mindset like this, we should accept the UK back into the European Union

I tweet one time about something related to macos, and my inbox gets obliterated with icloud locked scams.
The timing is way too precise to be a coincidence. Bots literally read your social networks to then craft a targeted social engineering attack directly at you. What a world

Context pollution through code rot is the worst. You throw in a slop grenade, and your subsequent work is slightly worse and less efficient, and you need more and more resources to keep going.
Subagents don't solve this issue, they actually only make it worse long-term. Rigorously ensuring code quality however you can is an absolute must if you want to make it

I really need some lore behind this Windows 1.0 ad. Why Microsoft hated Nebraska? Where can I buy the same jacket Steve Balmer wears? Where did reversi go?

I really enjoy all the love Remedy gets in my timeline so I've started Remedython yesterday.
Quantum Break, both Controls, then Alan Wake 1&2, and top if off with Max Payne.
Remedy bangers should keep me occupied until Order of the Sinking Star drops. Gamers eat really good this Fall (of Max Payne)
Even pirates are buying Control which is unheard of

Google are idiots for doing this. People will just sell these vulnerabilities on the side if they're treated like that
reported a chrome fullchain (web -> shell) on pixel 10 to google. got a 9.6 cve (cve-2026-87464) and a fix in chrome.
now they bend the rules and refuse to pay the fullchain bonus bc one of the vulns in the chain was an unpatched nday. total payout: $2.5k. despite cve + shell :|

Why shouldn't I use something like this instead of learning Objective-C? Sounds very appealing
