Advertisers pay for ads that don’t have impression data all the time. You can’t count how many people looked at a billboard or listened to your radio ad or paid attention to your televised ad.

>You can define a communication protocol between agents that fails when the communicating agent has been prompt injected

Good luck with that.


Yeah, how exactly would that work?

A schema with response metadata (so responses that deviate from it fail automatically), plus a challenge question that's calibrated to be hard enough that the disruption of instruction following from prompt injection can cause the model to answer incorrectly.

Maybe I’m out of touch but why do you need an LLM to decide if there’s any work to be done? Can’t it just queue or schedule tasks? We already have technology for that that doesn’t require an LLM.

Totally valid for fixed, well-defined tasks — a cron job is cheaper and more reliable there. The LLM earns its keep when the heartbeat involves contextual judgment: not just "is there a task in the queue" but "given everything happening right now, what actually matters?" If the agent needs to reason about priority, relevance, or context before deciding what to surface — that's where the local model pulls its weight. If your agents only do fixed tasks, you're totally right, you don't need it!

Tasks might have prerequisites or conditions.

Like "if it's raining, remind me to grab my umbrella before I leave for work"

-> "is it raining?" requires a tool call to a weather service

-> "before I leave for work" needs access to the user's calendar and information when they leave compared to the time their work day starts

-> "remind me" needs a way to communicate to the user in an efficient way, Telegram, iMessage or Whatsapp for example.


And the app view? You can take your data, can take everyone else’s that you follow?

The appviews are interchangeable; any appview will work with any PDS. Whatever appviews my followers and followees end up using, they'd still be able to see my posts, and I'd still be able to see theirs.

How are they going to pay back all the VC money?

I don't think anyone one knows yet, nor does that answer need to be answered soon, or perhaps ever, bluesky can die and atproto can go on. They are not existentially tied together

>make revenue from that $20 than the electricity and server costs needed to serve that customer

Seems like a pretty dumb take. It’s like saying it only takes $X in electricity and raw materials to produce a widget that I sell for $Y. Since $Y is bigger than $X, I’m making money! Just ignore that I have to pay people to work the lines. Ignore that I had to pay huge amounts to build the factory. Ignore every other cost.

They can’t just fire everyone and stop training new models.


As I understand it:

Gross profit = revenues - cost of goods sold

Operating profit = Gross profit - operating expenses including depreciation & amortisation

Net profit = Operating profit - net interest expense - taxes



>I didn’t have to worry about this even a week ago

No, you didn’t realize you had to worry about this until a week ago.


Im actually very cpncerned people have yet to realize they dont need to put truth values on internet content.

Once you default to 'doesnt matter if true' you end up being a lot more even keeled.


There's a trust built up over years (in this case, decades) by a news organization. In this case, Ars Technica. I don't trust the rando on the internet, but I do trust a news organization that has proven over the course of decades to release factual information.

Now that Ars Technica has been caught and admitted to using AI-generated material in its stories, I now have to question that trust. A week ago, I wouldn't have had to.


Why would cloudflare stock jump due to clawdbot?

> Cloudflare Inc (NYSE:NET) shares rose more than 10% on Monday to $193.68, following a weekend surge in social media excitement around Clawdbot, an open-source AI agent built on Anthropic’s Claude. This jump comes despite the stock having fared poorly over the last month, according to InvestingPro data.

(there are a few others)

Again, I'm not saying that it should rise, but that in a meme-stock era, for an ai-hype-driven market, it would not be surprising.


I guess OP meant https://blog.cloudflare.com/moltworker-self-hosted-ai-agent/ but that's a bit preposterous...

That’s actually disgusting.

It gets worse

There's nothing in Tailwind that makes the craftsmanship dead, and your proposed solution with scoped styles somehow a revival of said craftsmanship.

Note how your solution literally depends on a build tool (Vue) to work. Whereas Tailwind can work with no build tools (tailwind build tools removes unused classes, and that's mostly it).

And then you go:

--- start quote ---

Juniors still come along and just do margin: 13px. In tailwind, they do m-[13px]. No difference. At least with CSS its centralized.

--- end quote ---

When your scoped CSS example is literally decentralized per-file CSS that has `margin: 5px` in it. That gets compiled into a meaningless `class-678x8789g` by the build tool.

> The people I've seen who are most excited over tailwind are generally those that would view frontend as something they have to do, not something they want to do.

Tailwind is the product of its era: where even sites are composed out of components. That is, this separation of concerns: https://x.com/simonswiss/status/1664736786671869952

As a comparison, here's Youtube's expertly crafted CSS (which is actually an improvement over their original 6B file). Note how much endless repetition there is: https://www.youtube.com/s/_/ytmainappweb/_/ss/k=ytmainappweb...


At least one of the authors works for OpenAI. It’s a puff piece.
