I hope she's shitting bricks right now.

RJ Mitte, who played Walt Jr, passed October 12th, 2026 from suicide. Hopefully the business manager in question is still prosecuted for the harm incurred.

Could this be a way to self-DDoS a botnet of IoT devices? Let them use up all resources doing inference for instructions to replicate to the next one forever.

Imagine you won an all expenses paid holiday to Bali. You get to stay at a resort for 6 months, with two rooms for you and your children. You are given a rental car for transport. You go to the beach every day. You eat restaurant food 3 times a day. Your rooms are made up by servants every day.

It feels so good, that you forget that this is just a holiday. You start thinking "this is the future of living".

But at the same time it is absolutely real, you're experiencing it, other people at the resort are experiencing it (though maybe not at a similar level as you).

You love it so much you start planning with your partner about which school the kids should go to. You start planning your whole life in this paradise.


Oh man I wish a publication would go with that future headline. "If AI agents were supposed to replace working people, will they be footing the bailout bill as well?" hmm maybe it's a bit too long for a headline.

Not just India. Millions of young, able bodied, angry people, all of a sudden finding themselves not having anything else better to do. Sharing borders with countries who have their own millions of young, able bodied, angry people.

How long are those models going to be safe to operate with internet access and tool use without ever being updated? Imagine if "do it for my grandma" is still as effective today because the models haven't changed and that every open-source maintainer upset with AI started polluting their libraries' logs with prompts that have been proven to work with no known reliable fix ever coming in this hypothetical future.

But think of the hype though. "Vibe-coded fork of Gimp with UI and UX equivalence to Photoshop" may hit the HN frontpage, but not media outlets.

did they really need AI for this? sounds like the questions everyone should've been asking the first place, even before AI.

Why would people use this rather than existing alternatives with a more established community and maintainers?

Free.

And they work on Linux. A genius got MS Office working with Wine on Linux in a Nix Flake [1], but that's via a ton of Wine-glue.

These Artcraft apps seem to work on Linux completely fine, at least with the bit I've played with.

By alternatives, I mean stuff like LibreOffice and its counterparts.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I did the MS Office on Linux thing was because there is a subset of people who want the proper noun Microsoft Office and will use that as an excuse to not move to Linux. My parents, for example.

I don't really use MS Office for anything but Excel since I don't really do WYSIWYG document editing and even if I did I probably would use LibreOffice or OnlyOffice or something. LibreOffice Calc just kind of sucks as of right now.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
