I said the 2025 would be the year of AI agents in my Jan episode of @machine-ethics.net however I would like to state that it is the year of AI induced disinformation, helped by progress in video models and AI agents

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

MCP for LLM agents: hot take, feels like we're doing it wrong www.youtube.com/watch?v=eur8... here their look at apis & data, feels like traditional app dev to me! here we have lots of looping around till we get a result, feels like a waste of literal energy when we already know how to do this...
