Help me reconcile this article with the fact (?) that AI agents are not capable of "scheming" because anything based on LLMs can't do that. What am I getting wrong?

The rampocalypse is over! I'm looking into making Clippy take up less RAM
If this optimization goes well, we might see a memory usage improvement (In the picture, 0,4% memory usage shown)
Really not. Apart from the 2nd hand Meccano skeleton, my asthma is getting much, worse on the cold damp IoM so lungs fairly knackered...
How can someone claim to have "made a deal" for the oil after having literally Invaded the country, Illegally Abducted its president, and Stolen its oil reserves? 🤔

@MikeElgan If corporations are people, then owning a corporation is slavery 😅
@matt @TheBreadmonkey I'm only one data point, but I've never swooped down out of the sky and stolen a seagull's chips.
#OtD 29 Aug 1931 an Aussie rules football match between West Adelaide and Port Adelaide was boycotted by a number of Port players because West used a police officer to play and he had protected scabs during a waterfront strike https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10078/adelaide-aussie-rules-protest
I hesitate to say this bluntly, because I know a whole lot of folks on here are actively involved in technical development of one sort or another, and derive both pleasure and a significant part of their identity from that fact. There’s something I think we all need to get clear on, though, and it’s something I myself had to learn the hard way: no tool will liberate us. The achievement of justice cannot be automated, or otherwise outsourced to a technical apparatus of any sort.
You work on tools because that’s what you’re good at, because that’s the way your brain works, because that’s what you enjoy or can get compensated for doing. That’s all as may be. But please, please do not make the mistake of thinking that the tool – any tool, of any sort whatever – will produce “progress.” There is and can be no technical fix for the social-psychological, existential or ontological predicaments that confront us. In the end there is only us, staring back at us from whatever mirror we’ve built.
I need help from folks who speak Spanish. Well no. Not just Spanish ultimately.
Blind listening round: a global vowel-openness change - native ears wanted (all languages)
Drop your lang, we'll generate a zip for you and comment back. <3 I need to involve, the people who care most, the community in this. So. A Spanish blind-ear listening test is under way. Only Claude and I know the true shuffle of which is "current beta" and "future beta", and y'all will need to comment where there are imperfections so we hammer things out together and I'm not just a solo developer. Thank you. Issue here: https://github.com/tgeczy/tGSpeechBox/issues/121

Hey you don't hear much about Graham Platner anymore. As Andy Warhol portended, every rapist will be famous for 15 minutes.
It feels very odd to repeatedly talk about how you sued someone without also mentioning that you lost on the basis that you provided no evidence whatsoever to support your claims
@mjg59 I remain intrigued why he continues to make an argument from authority when he himself changed career. Doesn’t this mean that he isn’t a journalist after all?
A journalist wanted to go to a Flock Safety convention.
Flock cancelled their registration AND got the hotel to cancel their room.
Enter Benn Jordan and *some equipment*, 😉.
I haven't had that much fun with a YouTube short in a while.
We all know what that means.
"Buddies Doing Social Media" of course.
