Source? Am guessing nothing more than another rumor (again). No official announcement.

Anyone familiar with The Hague? I'm staying there on Thursday night and looking for recommendations on (a) a bookshop with English titles, and (b) a nice quiet bar in which to read it.

I’m talking about Pac-Man from 45 years ago, not writing an analysis of game AI or coding patterns. You’re welcome to explore that question yourself.

You are over over-stating their abilities and inferring attributes to Pac-Man’s NPC ghost that border on mid-leading imho

You’re blurring the lines. Story says β€œAI programming”, you’re saying β€œEnemy AI”. You’re talking about Chatbots now, which I never mentioned? Let’s just move on.

It's been called "AI," but it's just scripted behavior. No learning, no adaptation. Comparing Pac-Man ghosts to modern AI is like calling a pocket calculator a supercomputer. Historically accurate, but technically/contextually misleading now. I expect better from the NYT than I would a Fandom wiki

Another (bad) analogy: years ago (and even today) when ppl email spreadsheet files as attachments - why that versioning system was the β€œblockchain”

No, I don’t think so. I don’t think anyone ever held up Pac-Man as an example of β€œAI”. You could, by same argument, argue (badly) that Undo/Copy/Paste commands are AI because they perform actions based on realtime user-input

No, there is a wide gulf between technologies. Nested conditional statements versus LLMs. Not even close.

Hey @zacharyhsmall.bsky.social - this is absolutely not β€œAI programming” and undermines your credibility when you make these claims

HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages

Stayed mostly in the old city center. Cobbled stone streets, architecture, walkability, green spaces, great variety and depth of restaurants - and just 30 minutes from Brussels and less than 2 hours from Paris… I’m enamored.

If there's one thing you watch today, make it this

Bob Geldof criticises Israel for what they're doing in Gaza

Then criticises Trevor Philips for making excuses for what Israel is doing in Gaza

My complaint is that ActBlue could (and should), as part of terms of service, prohibit orgs from mass selling data. I’m simply not donating to a campaign on that platform ever again.

An unbearably sad statement from the Editorial Committee (SDJ) of the AFP news agency, please read:

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die.
AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip… /1

Final CBO score of the "big beautiful bill" is out

Largest Medicaid cuts ever - in fact, at least 4 times the size of the previous largest; $894-$990 bn cut

Kicks 10 million off health insurance

Largest SNAP cuts ever, $197 bn cut

Still increases the deficit by $3.4 trillion from huge tax cuts

I have a month off work. This has never happened before. Its insane (but shouldn't be) and I am excited. I'll be posting random pics from France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Ireland. Mute/unfollow/block me now. You've been warned.
