But will an illiterate person be able to articulate themselves well enough to get the LLM to do what they want, even with a speech interface? Will they possess the skills (or even the vocabulary) to understand the output? We won't know

A question for the not-too-distant future: What use is an LLM in an illiterate society?

When someone is not willing to even attempt to do a 30 second task, assumes they can't, asserts they can't, and people chime in to say AI is the only way they can achieve it, it seems worthwhile to point out the consequences. Shou

It's better to consider the consequences of possible futures than not to; considering the future makes us human.

Two parent comments suggested that a deep level of skill is required to: 1] drag a box around the text and press Delete 2] type some new text in there in a similar handwriting font The implication is that we're all too stupid and every

1] delete the text 2] select any handwriting font 3] replace the text no one will know the font was changed, no skills required. AI is going to utterly cripple people intellectually and motivationally. If you can't even do the above t

I wasn't aware the satellites also beamed down power, and that all ATMs were connected to satellites instead of cellular networks or wires. It would also take quite a lot of refilling when everyone in a city needs to use the ATM. We st

Electronics continue to fail in severe weather events, and cash keeps working, which is important when we're talking about food.

That's why I put it in scare quotes; personally I don't believe The Book has yet been written. There's not an Art of War for every subject yet, and game design is one of those subjects not yet mastered, at least in writin

I think the icons are cool. Emoji in text is annoying, but this isn't a page of text, it's a UI element, and that can make something clear especially if you're connecting a device whose name is unknown, but you know it&#x27

But that has nothing to do with the development, maintenance, or enforcement of the standards, since the corporations have no involvement in any of the standards, and are probably opposed to their existence at all. It's a great counter

Interestingly, even the Warez Scene has standards, and no commercial backing. They're enforced, too. To see the actual standards, you can search for "standard" on https://defacto2.net/search/file There&#

I might, but by the same token, I might also find that it was novel? It's a remote possibility, but it is a possibility, isn't it?

Theoretically if I were to type into an LLM " Write a novel compression algorithm for images that is at least 25% smaller at the same speed and quality as ___ " and it did, and I ran the code (which I didn't understand) and i

It's interesting, though, even if it doesn't apply to you. It's something to think about, and something I do think about with some regularity -- how I'm going to schedule all the additional eating I'm going to have

Since when does EFTPOS work offline? It works off the internet, but not "offline", if the phones are down, EFTPOS is down. It happens with relative frequency, given the weather. Or trucks hitting boxes, or diggers cutting cables.

People remember things and consistently behaving like an asshole gets you treated like an asshole. OpenAI had a lot of goodwill and the leadership set fire to it in exchange for money. That's how we got to this state of affairs.

The constitution grants no rights to robots, and they have no freedom of speech, so no amendment is necessary.

Just as a rule of thumb, doesn't the fact that only a few unknown vendors flag it—and all of the major vendors do not—indicate something? It would suggest a false positive, wouldn't it?

The concept of being able to (for a physical example) rip ANY page out of a book and being able to replace it using only the information on your single "magic page" is incredible. With two magic pages you can replace any two torn
