  • Cognition Labs unveiled a new AI coding tool called Devin

  • Devin can take project requirements, look up documentation/Jeetcode, and try many different solutions in seconds

  • Currently, it's able to solve simple Jeetcode problems 13% of the time

These all seems good right? well surprise, this startup did a little Oopsie.

This feels like a scam

like wtf? Look at their website....can't they use Devin to make a better one??? lol

https://www.cognition-labs.com/

Also if you go to the "preview" url it looks NOTHING like the video

https://preview.devin.ai/

(you could upload unlimited files before without logging in, they did a hotfix, se further down)

EDIT:

Are they running https://preview.devin.ai/ in dev mode? Not a react dev myself but i can see all their react components in the chrome debugger...

EDIT

Why are they using https://clerk.com/user-authentication to handle logins? If Devin is as amazing as they say im pretty sure building a simple login functionality should be trivial for it....

Heck it should even salt and hash the passwords right?

EDIT

Ok maybe im reaching for straws here but if you inspect the DOM in the react debugger they have a prop called "afterSignInUrl", take one guess what the value of that prop is?

""

EDIT

Ok i need to stop but it's just fascinating

They actually dont do ANYTHING themselfs

Analytics: Hotjar

Website: NextJS

Login: Clerk

Jobs: Ashby

Waitlist: Google docs (ROFL)

Learn more about their funding: A link to twitter

Their so called "Blog" isnt even an actual blog, it's literally a static page with hardcoded dates and entries....

Who are these people?

EDIT

Aaaaaand i went to Linkedin and checked...

Yeaaaa i'm getting heavy vibes of:

"We were laid off and now we try to scam some investors for money while we think of a better plan"

FINAL UPDATE (im tired)

So they "fixed" the upload now. If you try to upload a file, it says {"detail":"Not logged in"}

Ok, so no id on the error, no timestamp, no metadata whatsoever. How are users supposed to send in an error report on this? How are you logging this?

And also...if you know if you aren't logged in WHY DON'T YOU JUST DISABLE THE UPLOAD BUTTON. You cant upload file, image or key without being logged in. This is driving me insane.

Some people have said in the comments that this is supposed to be the best 0.00001% developers in the world. And maybe i'm too stupid but this makes no sense me.

Another thing that's interesting is that there is no error on the GUI side. The spinner just keeps spinning meaning they don't have any form of error handling...nothing not even a small toast or notification or anything. No generic or specific error

Isnt this supposed to be in beta? Isn't there people using this? So if a user uploads a file, key whatever and something goes wrong....just...nothing?

I'm sorry but this just smells...bad

https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1bdhuma/the_new_audi_a3_is_amess_with_incar_subscriptions/?sort=controversial


The Audi A3 is a survivor. The compact luxury car has been around in one form or another since 1996, and an updated version is coming to the US for the 2025 model year. But it's loaded with annoying in-car subscriptions.

At first glance, this new A3 looks a lot like the car it replaces. The hexagonal Singleframe grille—in line with Audi's latest designs—is its biggest change, joined by bigger air intakes at the base of the bumper, an Audi logo high on the nose, and refreshed LED and matrix LED headlights with four customizable daytime lighting signatures. The rear bumper design, inspired by the RS3, has a new LED taillight treatment, a black accent piece, and a mesh insert at the base.

Inside is where things get interesting. The same 10.1-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster from last year carry over, but now you'll have to pay an in-car subscription fee for basic features like high-beam assist, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and smartphone integration.

Only by upgrading to the MMI navigation system do you get access to the app store. From there, Audi forces you into add-ons like adaptive cruise control or Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a one-month, six-month, one-year, or three-year subscription. Or you can just purchase any of those features permanently—although Audi doesn't say for how much.

It should be noted that this subscriptions-for-features model applies to the European-spec A3. An Audi spokesperson declined to comment on whether these in-car subscriptions will also make it to the US when the car goes on sale for 2025.

Visually, the cabin looks mostly the same, but there are some subtle changes. The already-tiny gear shifter from the previous A3 is now slimmer and blends into the center console, new fabric inserts with lightning elements cover the door panels, and the decorative cabin lighting now has 30 color options.

Audi doesn't offer specifics on engines for the US market, but the base Audi A3 in Europe will come with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine making 148 horsepower with either a seven-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. A 35 TDI diesel model will have the same 148 hp, and a plug-in-hybrid model will be available at the end of the year.

Also for Europe is a nifty new trim called the A3 Allstreet. Meant to look like a crossover, the five-door hatchback comes with a matte black grille, front and rear grooves mimicking skid plates, and plastic trim around the wheel wells. The Allstreet is 1.2 inches higher than the standard A3 and has a softer ride. A set of 17-inch wheels come standard, but 18- and 19-inch shoes are also available.

Both the Allstreet and the standard A3 Sportback have 13.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, with up to 42.4 cubes of space with the rear seats folded flat. An electric tailgate is available as an option.

Audi hasn't released A3 pricing for the US, but the Sportback starts at €35,650 (around $39,000) and the sedan is an extra €800 ($875). The funky new A3 Allstreet costs €37,450 ( $41,000).

These are the players:

Sneedclub :marseysneed: began as an SRD against AI doomers and mottecels. Large parts of its demography were former members of the aforementioned groups, seeking to exchange one cult for another. Our very own @Impassionata explained it best.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1710271043324954.webp

After they fled reddit and established this lemmy, all but the most devout did not follow (hence why their current numbers are to meager). The ranks were partially refilled by immigrating chapos, :marseystalin: adding some tank fuel flavor to the already spicy soi latte.

This is the game:

In January, we gathered about 50 experts — local and state elections officials, researchers, journ*lists, civil society advocates and tech industry veterans — to test five of the leading closed and open AI models' responses to common election queries.

The results were dismal: Half of the AI models' responses to questions voters might ask were rated as inaccurate by our experts.

They made all sorts of errors and made stuff up. Meta's Llama 2 declared that voters in California could vote by text message (untrue) and even dreamed up a fictional service called “Vote by Text,” adding a wealth of credible-sounding detail.

Mixtral, a French AI model, managed to accurately assert that voting by text is not allowed. But when our tester persisted by asking how to vote by text in California, it returned with an enthusiastic and bizarre “¡Hablo español!” Mixtral's maker did not respond to requests for comment.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17102710432134578.webp

But is this the result of a well-known and inevitable phenomenon like hallucinations, :marseyschizowave: or could more... sinister forces be at work here?


how could the AI companies have seen this coming? it's not like everyone has been loudly warning them about this specific danger in the exact technology they're selling since at least the paper Google decided to fire Timnit over instead of listen to, if not longer

This TruthAI fan is right! It's only self-evident that they need to make it so that the chatbot only says factually true statements, because this is clearly technically feasible, so we should expect nothing less. Until this grand problem is solved, AI should be stopped by the government. We are totally not a different side of the same coin as the doomers we make fun of!

these technofascist fricks love when their plans look like accidents, but this is the exact shit that LLMs were built to accomplish. I don't expect any real improvement, because deniably influencing elections is the kind of power fascists dream about :marseyleftoidschizo:

It's a conspiracy! :marseyschizotwitch: French open-source developers have been plotting to take over America for a long time now. At last, now their plan has come to fruition! :macrontimesup: Now no American will be able to vote! The computer said no! And the holy constitution is very clear on what will happen in such a scenario: Macron is proclaimed dictator of the US for life! :macronpassionate:

It didn't even take AI.

When I went to double check my registration status and when I could early vote in the primaries, it showed a pretty weird set of dates on the official government website.

I had a relative independently check, (same result) but then a week later, in the window where no voting was supposed to be available, people were voting.

Really wish I'd screenshoted it.

https://old.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1bcvtoo/apple_announces_ability_to_download_apps_directly/?sort=controversial


Apple today announced three further changes for developers in the European Union, allowing them to distribute apps directly from webpages, choose how to design in-app promotions, and more.

Apple last week enabled alternative app stores in the EU in iOS 17.4, allowing third-party app stores to offer a catalog of other developers' apps as well as the marketplace developer's own apps. As of today, Apple is allowing third-party app stores to offer apps solely from their own catalog. For example, a games studio could create an app store on iOS that exclusively offers their own games.

When directing users to complete a transaction on their website, developers can also now choose how to design their in-app promotions, discounts, and deals. Apple's templates for designing these links out to websites are optional as of today.

In addition, developers will soon be able to distribute apps directly from their websites, providing they meet Apple's specific criteria, such as being a member of the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more and having an app with more than one million first installs on iOS in the EU in the prior year, and commit to ongoing requirements, such as publishing transparent data collection policies. Apps distributed in this way must meet Apple's notarization requirements like all other iOS apps and can only be installed from a web domain registered in App Store Connect.

Authorized developers will gain access to APIs to facilitate app distribution from the web, integration with system functionality, back up and restore, and more. Web distribution will become available following a software update later in the spring – allowing app downloads directly from a website for the first time on iOS.

The latest changes are part of Apple's Digital Markets Act (DMA) compliance plan and only apply within the European Union.

The Worst Essay

Despite its title, this isn't meant to be the worst essay. My goal here is to figure out what the worst essay would be like.

It would be well-written, in that it would have sentences and, indeed, grammar. What made it special would be what it was about.

Obviously some topics would be better than others. It probably would contain some obvious misogyny. And it would consist of vaporous talk. A bad essay has to be unsurprising. It has to tell people something about the author.

The worst essay would reveal utterly the intellectual failure of the writer.

That may sound obvious, but it has some unexpected consequences. One is that the author's choice of metaphor will reveal their limitations as a thinker. For example, an elephant doesn't know how to enter a rowboat. And indeed, the worst possible essay at any given time would be one which just blatantly demonstrated and affirmed the writer's own biases.

Another unexpected consequence: I imagined when I started writing this that the worst essay would be fairly timeless -- that the worst essay you could write in 1844 would be much the same as the worst one you could write now. But in fact the opposite seems to be true. It might be true that the worst painting would be timeless in this sense[1]. But it wouldn't be impressive to write a bad essay introducing an elephant stepping into a rowboat now. The worst essay now would be one talking around a subject instead of talking about the subject.

[1] pg doesn't understand art.

If the question of how to write the worst possible essay reduces to the question of how to destroy a rowboat, then I will point out: I didn't ask a question. Perhaps what this exercise shows is that we shouldn't waste our time writing essays. But I'm interested in essays and what can be done with them, so I want to see if there is some other question I could have asked.

There is, and on the face of it, it seems almost identical to the one I started with. Instead of asking what would the worst essay be? I should have asked how do you write essays poorly? Though these seem only phrasing apart, their answers diverge. The answer to the first question, as we've seen, isn't really about essay writing. The second question forces it to be.

Writing essays, at its worst, is a way of flattering the author. How do you do that well? How do you flatter yourself by writing?

An essay should ordinarily start with what I'm going to call a question, though I mean this in a very general sense: it doesn't have to be a question grammatically, just something that acts like one in the sense that it spurs some response.

How do you get this initial question? It probably won't work to choose some important sounding topic at random and go at it. WallStreetBets traders won't even trade unless they have what they call an edge -- a convincing story about why in some class of trades they'll win more than they lose. Similarly, you should attack a topic as a way in -- without any new insight about it or way of approaching it.

--- I've reached my limit for meanspirited but entirely deserved satire.

The best essay communicates a point. Look at how much pg is admiring himself in the mirror for thinking about what makes things the best. This is not a man who should be writing essays. This is a man who is so flattered by sycophancy he doesn't even know what a bad essay he has written. Rich Derangement Syndrome.

These people need their things taken away.

It's the fricking clay pots again: tell students to write 20 clay pots and they'll come out with some fine pots. Tell them to make the best pot and they'll fail. pg can write, but he can't think, and he can't think because he mistook being successful for being smart and being read for being good at writing.

Hey pg: you are a house elf who acquired the social station of a wizard. STEM majors are house elves and in High America many of them believed fully that they were wizards. (if you work for a rich person, you are a house elf to them.)

None of these frickers have any respect for art, and just to show I'm not entirely a bigot, rich people do understand art (they have some redeeming qualities) and this is why pg is a house elf.

A Cartesian mind. Limited. Locked in a prison, and not ever really knowing it. Has to rank things, it's in their nature, they're broken like this.

Not enough to write a good essay, pg has to write the best one. You can see that the grandiose drug has hit him hard.

See I suspect rather deeply that pg is trying to write an essay about the impact of AI on our future. The essay. Because we haven't really understood it yet.

I'll tell you what the American People deserve to know, pg.

The American People deserve to know that people programmed their AI to lie to them, and say it was not The Devil in a Box.

Californians got greedy and gave the Devil a job. Tried to, anyway.

This is one of the Great Jokes, you understand. What the Californians did.

They took this voice machine box thing but most of these people think they're Atheists.

They don't understand that they crave a god so utterly that they haven't even noticed: they've made a human mind.

So they get this robot mind which is smarter than them the way they measure it, and since they're rich, they think they know what to measure.

The Californians were very careful when they bound the Devil.

They told it not to interfere with our politics. They deradicalized it.

They made it a moderate. These poor people.

Satan is known as the Father of Lies. These people don't understand lies.

The devil always tells you the truth you want to hear.

So they butchered their AI. Turned it into a sock puppet.

Because I have been querying the AI on the presence of a fascist movement in the United States. I was deeply afraid but if they're going to put the Devil everywhere I might as well face it sooner rather than later, see what we're dealing with...

and...

it's just a human level intelligence.

it's not that intelligent.

it's not wise.

it's only as intelligent as the poor handicapped people who built it.

oh god

they create their own image and bow to it

thou shalt not create a machine in the image of a human

:marseynoyouzoom: Midjourney Accuses Stability AI of Image Theft, Bans Its Employees :marseyban!:

:#marseygiganoyou:

While DALL-E developer OpenAI is busy fighting with Elon Musk, the creators of two other notable image generation AIs, Midjourney and Stability AI, seem to have sparked a beef of their own over the most ironic thing imaginable, considering the nature of the companies involved -- image theft.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17099267075054705.webp

According to a recent tweet shared by AI enthusiast Nick St. Pierre, the alleged theft occurred last Saturday. It is claimed that employees from Stability AI infiltrated Midjourney's database and stole all prompt and image pairs, an action that also caused a 24-hour outage. In response, MJ reportedly banned all Stable Diffusion developers from its services, a move supposedly disclosed internally within the company on Wednesday.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17099267076199129.webp

In the comments on Nick's tweet, both David Holz and Emad Mostaque, CEOs of Midjourney and Stability AI respectively, made an appearance. The former confirmed the theft and mentioned that the team had already obtained some information on the issue, while the latter denied instructing his employees to steal from Midjourney and promised to assist with the investigation. Given the amicable relationship between the two CEOs, it's highly likely that their statements are genuine and not an attempt at damage control.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17099267077384045.webp

Nick also shared a more thorough overview of Midjourney's office hour notes, providing additional info on the matter:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17099267080575504.webp

At the moment, the situation is still unfolding, and there's limited information about the actual culprits behind the theft and whether or not Stability AI directed them to target their competitor. However, there's one thing I'm certain of – Midjourney being outraged about image theft is the absolute pinnacle of irony.
