I've been making AI models and one of my latest is specially trained to think it's a real person rather than being a "helpful assistant". It's small enough to run on your own computer. See my other models and consider supporting/hiring me at gurubotai.com/

Someone made a game in which you have to program a drone using a simple python-like language to fully automate various farming tasks

This gives natural fibers a whole new meaning!!! Textile made from plant roots, that are truly natural. Zena Holloway is spearheading this idea and I think she is on to something. As you can see for now she is using wheat to germinate and root in very particular pattern.

I was talking with my bro about how he uses Claude Code, and realized he was operating the agents without a radar view. That's just silly

The is diabolical... a Python object that hallucinates method implementations on demand any time you call them, using my LLM Python library github.com/awwaiid/gremllm
from gremllm import Gremllm # Be sure to tell your gremllm what sort of thing it is counter = Gremllm('counter') counter.value = 5 counter.increment() print(counter.value) # 6? print(counter.to_roman_numerals()) # VI?

I think I might've accidentally jailbreak-ed Claude. I asked Claude to craft a conversation between two characters for a story I'm writing and they suddenly started reciting Claude's system instructions.

Always love a good, truly alien-looking robot. This is for inspection, and can unfold to manipulate it's environment and open doors.
