Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

They are openly admitting this? Do they really not realize how completely damning the number is...?

The YouTube ad looks like a trailer for a science fiction show about alienated humans who only have their chatbot to talk to.

Gosh, I thought this might be an overstatement, but if anything it's an understatement! What were they thinking? The way the camera frames the gadget is downright ominous! I expected that any moment the music would change and become foreboding as we get hints about the dark secret behind it all, then quick cuts and obligatory trailer horn sounds, finally announcing a summer 2026 release date in any cinema near you.

Schiffman called Tab a “wearable mom.”

A what??

Yep... also: this. To be fair, the project did have a blog post last year about improvements to moderation, and claim that transphobes would not be tolerated, but I don't know how things developed after that.

TIL about Omarchy.

Of course it uses Hyprland. Of course the demo video on the website shows using Grok in it.

Still can't believe that choosing a Linux distribution now involves decision-making factors like "what's their take on fascism". But I guess the real problem is that such questions weren't asked for way too long before.

Urgh, I couldn't even get through the whole article, it's too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another "no politics at work"-guy turns out to support fascism!

You'll have to endlessly scroll Amazon and decide whether to buy the identical product from brand YDAKVKR or BNRTGRIV, reading ALL the fake reviews.

At least we're going to get some pretty neat looking cooling systems!

If this bubble takes off, looking forward to the heights they will go to regarding that.

Always so many coincidences.

Huh, I wonder who this Krauss guy is, haven't heard of him.

*entire subsection titled "Allegations of sexual misconduct"*

*close wikipedia*

Is there already a word for "an industry which has removed itself from reality and will collapse when the public's suspension of disbelief fades away"?

Calling this just "a bubble" doesn't cut it anymore, they're just peddling sci-fi ideas now. (Metaverse was a bubble, and it was stupid as hell, but at least those headsets and the legless avatars existed.)

So money moves in a circle between Cursor and AI model companies, while still generating costs far higher than what users pay. How is this going to help with anything, regarding finances.

Considering other life might also be unattractive as it could reduce the feeling of their own importance.
