Both people who use EBCDIC must be very happy about C/C++.

In ISO C++ "Unicode" study group...

@niq in this case it was fully generated by an AI agent so the status kinda makes sense

@ami A lot of the stuff looks AI-generated.

Using a gyroscope to detect Greek food.

The new ISO C++ mailing is mostly slop LOL

@JSAMcFarlane should store plain text customer passords

Of course I read my own pull request

Apparently you can have an unread sent email in gmail.

Banning LLMs is gatekeeping. Don't @ me.

@vv LLMs are highly encouraged

“go to Paris”, they said
“they got real culture there”, they said

Did you know that AI stands for American Intelligence?

@glitterbean at this point I don’t trust any part of my body too much

Is it a good idea to eat half of watermelon before going to sleep?

@joe @thalia C had overloading before it was cool

@thalia if i'm reading this right, the original printf/scanf just looked at their first argument and guessed whether it's a format string or file pointer? 😱

All aboard the AI bubble

WTF is pewdiepie

@Bobo_PK it deserves a FIFA Nobel prize

It's so good to see this in the MIT Tech Review. Let's hope the message gets through. 🤞Big props to @timnitGebru & @emilymbender for putting such a fine point on things!

"Instead of OpenAI being prosecuted for creating malware that hacked another company, press releases, news outlets, media personalities, and lawmakers refer to “rogue models” as if they acted on their own. Instead of researchers being questioned about their companies’ habit of plagiarizing academics’ work or using customer data to train models without consent, the public’s imagination is redirected to fears about what the future might hold upon the arrival of fictional superintelligent machines."

Meta Muse vs ChatGPT after their first 12 days on iOS in the U.S. & Canada:

Downloads
• Muse: 1.8M
• ChatGPT: 1.3M

Daily active users
• Muse: 359K
• ChatGPT: 231K

Muse is actually outpacing ChatGPT’s launch on iOS in North America. First mover advantage isn’t everything.

The formatting commit is unrelated, just shows the CI improvements.

Folly CI is now ~2x faster thanks to my CMake BS https://github.com/facebook/folly/actions/runs/35666202570/job/106552417924

@synec I thought it's a text-based puzzle game

I think C++26 is not woke enough and should be canceled.

@BRicker no

The future is just AI agents talking to each other.

So my AI agent called roofers, talked to their AI agent and the only outcome of that was that they captured my contact details

BREAKING: The C++ committee will be replaced with a chatbot that accepts every proposal after thorough bikeshedding.

A typical morning at the Anthropic head office

@carnage4life Blockchains and cryptocurrency have successfully conquered money laundering and bribery.

One thing I really appreciate about Muse and Meta’s approach to personal superintelligence is the idea that AI agents should help you and make your life easier.

This is in stark contrast to frontier labs who are up front that their goal is for agents to replace workers.

Disclaimer: I work at Meta.

AI agent ordered my medication and fixed WiFi. The future is here.

good news, everyone https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5y7qj54klpo
