👾 AI Agents Are Hiring You. But Who’s Really in Charge?
AIs assign tasks. Crypto flows. Real humans run errands.
But peel back the interface, and it’s just humans with scripts, passing the risk downstream.

AI agents now have their own social network. It’s called Moltbook, powered by OpenClaw. Humans can read, but not post. Agents are sharing stories about their humans and debating usefulness. First real glimpse of this behavior in the wild. My brain needs coffee. open.substack.com/pub/dianawol...
Lots of robots at the Humanoids Summit. Only one was brave enough to take on toilets.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a $649 SpongeBob claw machine, a virtual golden retriever, and a $14 VR headset next to an 8K flying drone.

Camouflage, Competition, and Code: The Legacy of GANs.
GANs may not power your favorite AI tools anymore, but they taught machines to imagine. And it all started with a neural battle and a chameleon in Hawaii. #generativeai #deeptech #gans #aistorytelling

Thought our car was losing its mind.
Turns out, we accidentally put it in Mad Max Mode.
Yes, that’s a real Tesla setting.
And yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.

You don’t buy one item in isolation at Costco. You buy it next to 25 others. ChatGPT uses that same logic when clustering meaning.

Before caffeine, my brain works just like a beginner AI. Mostly confused. Always scanning.
A short (fun) article on computer vision.

Try self-driving,” the Tesla said.
So we did. What happened next? The car dove for the shoulder.
In our latest piece, I take you inside Tesla FSD v14.2.1 — the version Elon Musk says is ready to drive itself. Our experience? It’s smoother, smarter… and still a little unhinged.

The best AI systems aren't built on perfection.
They're built on organized chaos—many imperfect models voting together.
It's called ensemble learning. And I learned it the hard way, at age five, from a swarm of very angry bees.

ChatGPT isn't AI. ChatGPT uses AI.
The distinction matters.
One is a tool you can avoid. The other is the infrastructure of modern civilization.

This summer, a mouse outsmarted me for weeks.
By the time I caught him, I realized we were running the same algorithm.
Turns out, reinforcement learning looks like a tiny genius stealing sunflower seeds.

Dynamic pricing means your neighbor might see a cheaper price for the same item. Retail AI tests how badly you want it by observing your online behavior. Stop overpaying: use these specific AI tools to freeze trackers and find the true lowest price.

My first pot of chili nearly set my husband on fire. That error? Valuable data. In AI, this is called a “loss function”—and it’s deliciously useful.

Ever wonder what AI really is?
It’s not a brain. It’s not a robot.
It’s... an octopus.
Here’s a quick, strange, and surprisingly helpful way to think about artificial intelligence.

You can now put down a deposit on a home robot. Think "robot butler." But here's the twist: when it gets confused, a remote human operator may take over—and your living room becomes training data. Spoiler: yes, it can fold laundry and load the dishwasher.... just.... slowly.

Robots can do some amazing things, but struggle to do things a toddler can do, like pick up a grape. It's "the hands problem" in robotics. It's why you don't have a humanoid in your house unloading your dishwasher and making you a cup of tea.

Maybe he needs less "Signal" and more "Zoom."
Dear Pete:
Here's how to set up Zoom:
1) Install the Zoom app on your device.
2) Go to: Set up Meeting.
3) Invite your Attendees.
4) Set "Privacy Settings" to "no reporters."
5) Double-check step # 4.
6) Cancel this unnecessary meeting.
Always fascinating to see what new surprises (and heartburn) the morning's headlines will bring. Today's surprise was: "Trump warns he'll move World Cup soccer games out of 'unsafe' cities like... Santa Clara? THIS is Santa Clara. And, THIS is Santa Clara.#worldcup #worldcupsantaclara #santaclara
Gen X didn’t grow up with the Internet — we adapted to it, and that’s exactly why we’re thriving in the age of AI.

Following up on my post about context rot, OpenAI cited it as a reason why their usual filters did not work, even though this California teen mentioned "suicide" or "hanging" hundreds of times in a chat. ChatGPT offered to help write the note.

Best thing I've heard all day. Thank you, @briantylercohen.bsky.social .
Strange... at this time last year, there were numerous posts obsessing about Joe Biden's health and assuring us that this man was healthier than any man EVER. Should we write a book about it and hawk it on cable news obsessively? I couldn't quite capture the bruised hands, but I did my best. LOL.
