Hey peeps - I'm high on speed and I'm about to make it your problem after I saw this comment

US executives from Apple, Tesla, Boeing and more, have accompanied Trump on a visit to Beijing to visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

If a sentence starts "The agentic era..." it is a bad sentence.

Sometimes I'm getting this error with #IBMTTS in #NVDASR:

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
A warmer, more humid, and stormier pattern is expected late Friday through early next week. Some storms may be severe in the region at times.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
A warming trend will commence today, though onshore winds will keep conditions cooler near Lake Michigan today. Chances of showers and storms increase this weekend, but there will be a lot of dry time.

Essen als filmisches Thema: Vom Geschmack der Freiheit

I worked at a fairly big tech co years before the AI boom. People did large scale refractoring across huge code bases back then. With refactoring tools. And properly written robots.

Applying changes to code at scale, opening PRs automatically, basic interaction with human reviewers, making sure tests pass, getting things merged when ready. All that already existed before LLMs. And it was actually reliable and not capable of hallucinating terrible things.

It's like we've forgotten how to automate things without LLMs and openclaw now...

I am sure this will be entirely flawless and introduce not a single bug or issue.

Now that we've had 24 hours to digest it, how is everyone feeling about the EU’s proposals for rail? Optimistic? Frustrated? Confused?

Let's just call it now...

We don't have a government of the people.

We don't have a government for the people.

If one good thing comes out of the AI Data Centre rush it's that it might finally make people realise the transition to green energy is no longer some leftist agenda, but is actually about quality of life 🤷🏼‍♀️
