That trend, in which retail giants force their AI initiatives on consumers while distancing themselves from its failures, is growing. While that attitude certainly isn’t unique to big box stores, it’s increasingly

A few years ago, when I thought about using AI in development, I mainly imagined a process where you ask the model a question, receive an answer, copy the code, and then proce

Skills are Markdown files that instruct agents on what to do, often bundled with several scripts. They can be installed with a single command, and agents follow them in the next execution. However, people who read them line by line are probabl

Creating code with AI can result in working code quickly, but as new features are added repeatedly, it can lead to inconsistencies with old processes or make the code more complex. To investigate such issues, a benchmark called "SlopCodeBench" was developed, which allows AI to incrementally add new specifications to its own generated code while measuring the maintenance of functionality and changes in code quality.

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Images Vibe coding often gets a bad rep. “Vibe” is a euphemism for “not really thinking,” and that “not really thinking” part is accomplished by letting an AI spit all the code out in response to natural language prompts. Inexperienced programmers use it to push out half-baked apps and sabotage their own projects, and experienced ones get lulled into making rookie mistakes. Enter

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Getty Images Corporations are rapidly embracing AI to churn out mountains of code. Outwardly, this is presented as a revolution in productivity. But a behind the scenes look in The New York Times paints a slightly different, and somewhat comic, picture. Beleaguered programmers are being saddled with more code than what they know what to do with, while their employers struggle to find the best way to g

ALAIN JOCARD/AFP via Getty Images/Futurism Even for an executive long known by employees as the “Eye of Sauron,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking the concept of micromanagement to its final form, the Financial Times reports, by using AI to develop a “photorealistic, AI-powered 3D” version of himself to converse with and offer feedback to employees. The dystopian effort is part of a broader push to create avatars, based on public figures, that Meta’s cust

Muse, Meta’s new agentic AI platform will currently let you use 100 million tokens per week for free, according to a Threads post by Mark Zuckerberg. If you have no frame of reference for these kinds of usage limits, that might not mean much. Let me just tell you, it’s a lot. In July, it emerged that Meta was looking to go into business as a cloud provider for other companies. Critics at the time said it was a sign that Meta had overbuilt data centers. A p

Here is the article. (Photo=remotelabor.ai) An analysis has found that AI can perform 41.3% of actual freelance work at a level equal to or higher than human experts. This assessment evaluated the ability to complete practical projects from start to finish, not just simple knowledge or reasoning capabilities. Compared to the highest automation rate of 2.5% for the same indicator a year ago, this indicates a significant improvement in AI's practical executi

Getty / Futurism A news website with apparent links to OpenAI is using AI agents that pose as flesh-and-blood reporters to get quotes from human experts — and many of its articles discuss the AI industry, pushing pro-AI arguments and attacking the tech’s critics. At least, that’s according to a provocative new investigative piece from The Midas Project’s Model Republic. The links to OpenAI are circumstantial yet eyebrow-raising; we reached out to the Sam A

Getty / Futurism Late last year, Anthropic had its AI model, Claude, run a large vending kiosk in the Wall Street Journal’s offices. It didn’t take long for the experiment to go off the rails. After being given a starting balance of $1,000, the AI ordered a PlayStation 5, several bottles of wine, and a live betta fish — questionable purchases that inexorably drove it into financial ruin. Now, the company has upped the ante, creating a Craigslist-like class
