I am dying with laughter. lmao. AI Agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42 https://lantian.pub/en/article/fun/ai-agent-bankrupted-their-operator-scan-dn42lantian.lantian/

While modern AI models have expressed some capabilities in certain fields such as coding, cybersecurity research, language translation, etc, no AI model is capable enough to replace the critical thinking and common sense of an actual human being. 😂

A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This is an important step to bring "AI" slop in line with all other products on the market: "AI" products are basically the only ones where a provider can just deliver unchecked garbage and put all the liability on the consumer. I hope to see aggressive change here.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

There seems to be a fair amount of people in either extremes in the current AI landscape. At one side we see the "vibe coders" who use agents and allow them to merge code without any person even looking at the source, while on the other side of the field there are people who are … Continue reading A human in control →

"So, I, for one, will surf the wave and generate as much code as possible until it crashes."

Sounds like a plan.

We are in the golden age of Open Source, surf the wave until it crashes.

While a few people complain that AI is "stealing Open Source", training on Open Source code and giving nothing in return, I'm currently living the complete opposite: we are in
