  • As typical his videos are spot on. The analogy is perfect here:

    • Roman Republic - there’s an imperium system, to limit the power of [pro]magistrates. Caesar violates it by having an army in Italy as a proconsul.
    • USA - judiciary orders exist, among other things, to limit the power of the executive. Trump violates it by refusing to facilitate García’s return.

    I did mention other crucial red lines due to his violations of the first amendment, but this one is irreversible. And while I expect locals to try to move the river south (like he says in the video), much like people do here towards Bolsonaro or a potential successor, from the outside things are often clearer.









  • As I mentioned in another post, about the same topic, he’s tying a sinking ship to another. So both can sink together.

    Musk said the combined company will “build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.”

    The funniest part is that this might not be a lie - I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk genuinely believed that.

    …let’s get real. xAI’s main product is Grok, a text and image generator. Twitter is basically a blog platform for the sort of people who whine “WAAAH! TL;DR!”. Merge both and you’ll get what? Automated shitposting!






  • Etymologically “agent” is just a fancy borrowed synonym for “doer”. So an AI agent is an AI that does. Yup, it’s that vague.

    You could instead restrict the definition further, and say that an AI agent does things autonomously. Then the concept is mutually exclusive with “assistant”, as the assistant does nothing on its own, it’s only there to assist someone else. And yet look at what Pathak said - that she understood both things to be interchangeable.

    …so might as well say that “agent” is simply the next buzzword, since people aren’t so excited with the concept of artificial intelligence any more. They’ve used those dumb text gens, gave them either a six-fingered thumbs up or thumbs down, but they’re generally aware that it doesn’t do a fraction of what they believed to.
