I used right all the time. Got RSI. Now I use left at work all day, and right at home when gaming. At work, I don't use a left handed mouse. Just those cheaper but common symmetrical ones. And I don't bother changing handedness. I

The scary bit is the use of the term AI. The "I" implies critical thinking. For models trained on a corpus of groomed data, the "critical thinking" bit is baked into the work of grooming the data and how it is trained.

I wasn't trying to say all billionaires deserve an outpouring of defence for their actions. Merely that their actions are as human as the rest of us, just in a different context. And like the rest of us, there are those who cope better

Yeah, but lets practice some empathy. Starting point: money can't buy happiness. So what to do to be happy? Extreme wealth removes most practical goals like buying things or going places and doing things. Not that you can't do the

I get the idea. But it also opens up the argument: what was your job before AI took it away? To pick songs for simianwords? AI use changes a lot of jobs. Will it make for more or less jobs overall? I don't think anyone really knows.

For previous printers, absolutely yes. But my current Bambu? The printer has caught this every time.

The problem is trust. I don't want to get into an adversarial relationship with my printer over networking. I could enable LAN mode and trust the mode does what it says. I could trust others firmware reverse engineering to verify L

Mine is now offline. But when it was online, I never checked the app for failed prints. If the print has failed, I'll find out when I'm near enough to it to do something about it. When offline, it amused me when there was a "

I love Blender. After years of using it I am a basic user as I only use it for 3D printed models. But Blender is just hard to get into. It's not just the updates, though they may not help. What helped me most was setting aside the time

Back to the assumptions. If the onboard LLM means no data sending and you get your own little service wholly subservient to you like a good little program. That's nice! If the onboard LLM means better data filtering, possibly even exp

One of the problems with labelling automation as AI. People think that whatever information an "AI" spits out has gone through a round of critical thinking which enhances the trust value of that information. The early LLM's u
