“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.

According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The #code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you #understand the #system and can maintain it properly."

A US judge temporarily #halted #Trump's order to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in #federal #grants & #loans, minutes before it was set to come into effect.

Judge AliKhan's order to pause the plan until next Monday at 22:00 GMT came in response to a lawsuit filed earlier in the day by a group of organisations representing grant recipients.

The lawsuit claims the White House's temporary freezing of already approved funding violates the law. #auspol #USPol
