I know lots of people who voluntarily use AI regularly without being forced to - a lot more than either people who are anti-AI or people who are forced to use it for work. That's probably a function of the people I'm around more t

Being unable to tell a game is garbage without personally playing it is a problem with or without AI. Though AI is vastly increasing the amount of slop out there, for sure.

Knowing that some songs are by local artists who I could go see live doesn't tell me very much about the quality of the music, unfortunately. My friends recommending the music does though, assuming we have similar taste.

I just tried and it looks like I can do this in Chrome on Android relatively easily. The UI could be a lot nicer for it though. And I did run into an issue where if the site allows me to install it as a PWA, Chrome will want to do that and

My wife (head of accounting for a small business) has been working on automating large parts of her job using AI. It's not completely reliable and the human cannot be taken out of the loop, but the number of menial tasks she's bee

Optional feature, off by default, customizable time interval, and a warning about false alarms? Even with that you'd likely still trigger false alarms regularly, though they would be the responsibility of the user. Not sure whether it

Not everyone, no, but some people do choose to avoid lifestyle creep, or at least have a lot less of it than their peers. I'm just saying it's optional and not inevitable.

Automatic lifestyle creep with promotions? Well, it's definitely not a FIRE simulator.

Sure, but arguably education is the easy part. The even harder problem is aligning incentives/values and avoiding a tragedy of the commons sort of situation.

If the decision-makers are elected by the people, it's not a dictatorship, no matter how many atrocities the nation commits. You can have some gray area I guess, with unfair elections or whatever, but when the bad decisions are made by

I suspect because some of these things would require us all to say no, which is difficult to coordinate and enforce. It's not impossible, but it's not as easy as "just" saying no, as a society.

I read some of the article and skimmed the rest, and didn't see anything about old-fashioned search no longer being an option. Is the idea that by making the new AI chat UX the default, that's how they're forcing people into

I think that was the idea, that MAGAs would see "price discrimination" as a good thing, but "diverse pricing" as a bad thing.

Exhaustive brute force prompting is completely unfeasible. The number of potential prompts is impossibly large.

Psychologists and therapists have different specialties too, for mental differences. This is generally considered a good thing.

Hopefully he would be using the LLM as an enhanced search engine that can point him to relevant authoritative sources that he can use to fact-check its output. I have done that in the past to some effect.

With that diversity of preferences, some organizations might also be willing and able to do rigorous testing of the updates that are most important to them. It seems like a helpful efficiency to spread out the testing burden (both deliberat

I feel like we do that pretty regularly in the US.

If 1% of the people in each specialization are advancers, and you add up all the specializations together, then 1% of the total number of people are advancers. Even this assumes that everyone has a specialization in which 1% of people contr

"Vibecoding" is about how you use AI tools, rather than who you are. If you're asking the AI to generate large amounts of code that you don't really look at, you're definitely vibecoding. If you are mainly writing t

Most documentation is documenting things that somebody already wrote down in a different form. The quality of AI-made documentation may be poor, but calling it 0% is just silly.

I doubt Russia would invade the EU anytime soon under current conditions, even if they manage to annex all of Ukraine with no further losses. Much more likely they invade another non-EU, non-NATO country like Moldova.
