it's the same problem as counterfeits: whatever has value becomes a target for duplicates. eventually the original loses its value.

shocked. shocked!
A section of the OpenAI Symphony readme that says “tell your coding agent to build symphony in a programming language of your choice” with a link to a detailed spec
We have reached a moment where instead of releasing software you simply release the detailed spec for software and tell people to prompt their agent to build it themselves
From the README of OpenAI’s new Symphony orchestrator: github.com/openai/symph...
so much fake AI propaganda from all three sides in the Iran war.
anyone know of an authoritative, verified source of news?
does the fox have a name?
I got five identical sales pitches in LinkedIn messages, sent by five different people.
is LinkedIn generating sales messages for people? or are these five fake profiles?
most marketing is going to change from "human to human persuasion" into A2A, where search, evaluation, and transaction is entirely by agentic.
"marketing" will be done by data management teams.
Great article about a very active life
Apple blossoms
Important reminder of the devastation wrought by the Musk/DOGE dismantling of USAID. Hundreds of thousands dead, many more to come. The greatest crime of the 21st century (so far).

yes, the US social sites should do this.
As I said yesterday, America, your usual tourist demographic from friendly countries don't hate you. We're not holidaying in America anymore because your police keep doing this and so you are considered an unsafe state to travel to.
King Charles I was arrested by Parliamentary forces on January 1647 (379 years ago) during the English Civil War. He was tried for treason and executed January 1649.
the AI posts aren't for you.
if it's technically accurate and high quality, then it's data for an AI. additional articles establish a body of data.
whether humans read it or not is irrelevant.
you read only a tiny fraction of your field. an AI reads and evaluates all of it.
i projected my laser (532nm green, 5mW) through a double-slit to a whiteboard 6.7m away (22 feet). nice interference pattern (the horizontal series of dots). yep, light (photons) is a wave, not particles.
yes, the idea of "now" depends on relative motion. my now may not yet happened for Paige, but may be in the past for Marcus.
the future has already happened.
the past hasn't yet happened.
(again, depending on relativistic motion.)
Paige, there's more. Polaris, the North Star, is 430 light years away. it takes 430 years for a photon to reach your eye.
but there's relativity. the photon experiences zero time, zero space. the front tip of the photon touches your eye, while its tail end touches Polaris, 430 light years away.
The Washington Post continues to shrink. more layoffs, more departments cut.
Here's tomorrow's edition:

Ted Cruz told Trump, “if we get to November and 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are 10–20% at the supermarket, (...) you’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”
Trump cursed Cruz in reply.
Should we ban the over 65s from social media?
The government are considering banning the elderly from social media as their brains haven't properly developed. But is a ban a step too far?
and what happens when Latin America declares the Latin Doctrine: no US interference in Latin America?
