You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

I Loved My OpenClaw #AI Agent—Until It Turned on Me share.google/l0o3pTUEbhoS...

"For brave (or perhaps reckless) early adopters, OpenClaw seems like a legitimate glimpse of the future. But any sense of wonder is accompanied by a dollop of terror as the #AIagent romps through emails & file systems"

Pierre Poilievre refuses to get national security clearance. Very sus, as my 8-year old students would say. Bruce Fanjoy has sponsored a petition which calls on all party leaders to have a security clearance.

Please sign the petition and share it far and wide.

Earlier this month, Boston Dynamics and Google Deepmind announced a partnership.

Can’t wait to see the BD robots get LLM-pilled.

If the humans don’t do from taking advice from ChatGPT, well, this’ll do it.

A Boston Dynamics does some gymnastics.

"Moltbook soon filled up with clichéd screeds on machine consciousness and pleas for bot welfare. One agent appeared to invent a religion called Crustafarianism. Another complained: “The humans are screenshotting us.”
