This literally happened yesterday. It tried to bring me to a safari search and I got no other hits. Could've been just a buggy moment with search who knows.

I do not understand how anyone can seriously use a tool that has "Be funny and irreverent when appropriate" baked into the system prompt. I don't want to waste money because my calculator is cracking jokes. They don't de

Normally I'd say that's at least somewhat valid but Apple also has a nasty habit of coming up with new names for things everyone else had a name for for 30 years already. Then they do bizarre things like when I tried to help my mo

No, I’m saying you’re resorting to McCarthyism/red scare emotional appeals.

That’s a gross misrepresentation of their point.

eh to a degree. It leveled off at about 50% in 2018-2020 or so. And it’s not reasonable to assume that every person doing mobile gaming would have otherwise gamed on consoles/PCs, so how much of that is growth in “the gamer” populati

It’s not “endless complaining” when the bot is functionally cheating. Yes if you let a computer use special mechanisms it will operate faster than a person who is using a mouse and a keyboard. A computer computers better than a person, what

It was only good for drivers for a very, very brief period. They were the first group squeezed before they started squeezing the riders.

It’s possible yet many simply don’t do it. How many rounds of mass, unnecessary tech layoffs do we need to see? We literally just went through a phase of companies scrambling to bring people back because they were too eager to lay them off

If by “nature“ you mean the scale, which has expanded by orders of magnitude and functionally changes the problem.

“Before LLM’s there was_____” I see this whenever an LLM’s impact is assessed. We know. The issue is scale and the ability for smaller and smaller groups (down to individuals) to execute at scale. LLM’s are pouring massive amount of gasol

I think we both know that it’s not just Uber who is violating social contracts. AI companies are routinely violating laws that would have the feds knocking at my door. Facebook? Airbnb? Uber? Every meal delivery service? The list goes on. T

It’s so amazing for the free software world yet every month I see another major community or project shutter out of sheer frustration because they cannot handle the number of people dumping their garbage “improvements” and ideas that their

I feel very similarly. I would’ve assumed we all obviously don’t want all this chaff in our lives

Interesting I didn’t perceive it that way (I see the irony lol) I’ve always seen it as a place that is quick to tell people to back off/treat each other with respect

I am plenty calm, I do not know what gives you the impression I am angry. You, however, absolutely need to ease off the gas. You can’t talk to people like this here. You are being needlessly hostile and taking swipes at people. Treat peopl

Something being old and unsolved does not make it impressive when it’s solved. The question is “has there been any concerted effort to solve it and if so how much time/effort has gone in?” I’m sure I can make some brand new “discovery”

It’s the current iteration of the red arrow with a (staged) surprised face and as you’re saying we will all learn to just skip it as well. These things are always an arms race, and given LLM’s can only generate facsimiles of things I don’t

Lying, grifting, and promoting conspiracies online also maximizes engagement and drives revenue. I guess we should go ahead and do that too. This whole conversation makes me want to throw up

You can argue the merits of a product without personally attacking people.

That’s overly simplistic and glosses over the actual objections to mv3.

You’re right it doesn’t impact most people’s decisions but m2 and m3’s differences are quite substantial and meaningful.

Differentiating isn’t as important as not engaging in Google‘s heinous practices

But the open source project wouldn’t need to invest as much as Google does. There are all kinds of features and things they are working on that the general public really does not care about.

I’ll admit I was being overly tongue-in-cheek with that. You’re right it is more useful. But it also can’t be trusted to do that reliably, it’s primary goal is to give you the core thing you asked for - and often this is regardless of the p
