A bit like Bogart in Caine Mutiny -- who stole the strawberries?

Using AI is great if you have already developed critical thinking skills. When you're just learning how to think, how to reason, how to have common sense, it's gonna get in the way. Calculators are great, but it's still impor

This is only (possibly) true in big cities. In the burbs, or rural areas, not so much. It always amuses me how pundits take a look at big city life and assume that everybody lives that way. Much of America will never, ever be urbanized. It&

I've heard of this before, including a first person account, and the effects are apparently that specific. Lots of people consistently report the same thing. It's not just moving patterns, it's actually a bunch of tiny people

Until the price of a flying car isn't much more than an automobile, it will only be a toy for the wealthy. If it costs as much as a Rolls-Royce, few will be able to afford it.

It doesn't really matter whether or not LLMs are conscious. They provide a convincing enough imitation that people are falling all over themselves to ruin our economy, decimate our workforce, etc. for their sake. The philosophical angl

By all accounts, the current administration doesn't pay any attention to laws, so it's unlikely the surveillance will change.

A sad but predictable result of our failure to deal with homelessness. We can't simply write off large groups of people as being too poor to afford housing, and expect that the rest of us can blithely go about our lives with no cares o

This sounds ripe for manipulation, intentional or not. You would have to trust the agent that facilitates the conversation to be completely free of bias and hallucinations, since any individual participant has little to no visibility into t

Advertisement for the escort, with name and photo. It does seem like an odd article, I don't think high-priced escorts are a new or remarkable thing, and all escorts come from some other walk of life -- I don't think most escorts

This isn't a press, it's a cutter. It's used to make vinyl masters, which are then used to create a mold for pressing. This device will only make discs slowly, one at a time. You would still need a bunch more machinery to pre

You mean errors like misusing "it's" when the right word is "its?"

Thanks for the link, but this is the same link in the headline, and leads to a paywall.

Not being a neuroscientist or an AI expert, it's hard for me to know what to think about this article. The ideas are interesting, but they're trying to push a product (training, consulting).

I suppose people asking AI about religious beliefs is a thing now? I would think that would be the last place to go if you have questions about faith. And to complain that AI doesn't recommend priests, rabbis, etc. for psychological co

Nobody forced them to train their models on sci-fi. It's dubious they had permission to read those books in the first place. And that's not the only place they've "learned" bad behavior.

This sounds scary. The government paying private companies for surveillance -- what could possibly go wrong?

True, but there's also a lot of truth in the rest of the article. America's power seems to be on the wane.

Translation: "It's too romantic to think of employees as people. They're simply fungible worker units. My only concern is profits, and if other people have to suffer because of it, that's simply collateral damage."

Their idea of comparing 'poets' with 'talkers' seems inappropriate. A poet reading their works in public is giving a presentation; a 'talker' is just conversing normally. A more apt comparison might be presenti

"Subject to the state's age verification law" -- does that mean any site hosted by a Utah ISP? Any site with a server in Utah? The boundaries get hazier the more you think about them. The intertubes are a global thing, how th
