It's in full swing here in Sweden too. Me and a close colleague bought new cars a couple of months apart. My left-leaning teammates who are usually pretty climate aware only offered congratulations to my colleagues new gasgussler, but

But what are the implications? No more moderation? This seems bad. No more recommendation/personalization? This could go either way, I'm also willing to see where this one goes. No more public comment sections? Arstechnica claimed

Not so! I'm sure they're great for a bunch of usecases but they don't fit mine, which tbf is probably not very common. I've got an ultrawide monitor, 32:9 aspect ratio, and I like to have three columns, with the middle o

Huh, I'm falling behind the times. I'm still trying to figure out what the heck love even is, and these guys made a medical test for it!

Maybe people will finally learn to check their sources? Seems like a win in my book. Of course the crazies are gonna craze, that probably won't change. But it is far from obvious that non crazies will be fooled by AI generated images o

I think most likely this will cause future generations to finally learn to check their sources.

I don't even see how it's a crisis in the first place. I mean people believe the earth is flat, despite being shown photos clearly demonstrating it's not, and this before even digital photos were commonplace! AI generated pho

Wait, why does this kill news from centralised sources specifically? To me it seems it would have the opposite effect. If I can't take a photo at face value anymore, it's more valuable than ever that my news comes from a source I

I think this will mostly be an issue in online discussions, and those were always useless anyway.

Mystical connection? Now you're back to religion. If you wanna be down you gotta keep it real, and mysticism is categorically not that.

That's even more interesting! The only non-religious meaning of soul I've ever heard is a music genre, but then English is my second language. I tried googling it and found this meaning I wasn't aware of: emotional or intelle

Huh, it's not often you hear a religious argument in a technical discussion. Interesting viewpoint!

In my experience, the trick is to not exercise. Get a hobby that involves physical movement. I collect such hobbies, and the only time I actually exercise it's because I've pulled a muscle or something and need to do rehab exercis

I think you may have misunderstood my post, as you appear to be arguing against me while basically repeating my sentiment. Read again and I you will find I say I am NOT worried about data leakage, but only that the ISP will lock me out of c

In theory this is a good idea, but in practice I'm not sure I trust my ISP to manage that system. I'm not worried that they'll leak my data, they already do that, but I think they'd probably lock me out of content they s

Nobody at all is "coming for" fashion magazines, but you sure seem to be "coming for" AI. Whether you have any power or not is besides point. Whether you are paraphrasing or referencing to a famous confessional poem deal

It's somewhat unclear, but given that they've been found in every piece of human tissue tested for it, I'd say at the very least it kills slower than HIV. Of course there are many different kinds of PFAS, some might be worse

Must we always jump to Nazis? This is like the fifth time I see someone paraphrasing Niemöller in an ai context, and it's exhausting. It's also near impossible to take the paraphraser seriously. More to the point, AI is a tool. I

This is quite cool! I've found logical reasoning to be one of the biggest weak points of LLMs, nice to see that an alternative approach works better! I've tried to enlist gpt to help me play a android game called 4=10, where you

Tbf, this does sound like a fairly efficient anti-scalper strategy, so I guess there's at least some upside to this mess.

Here in Sweden, we have this genre of songs called nubbe-visor, which sometimes incorporate a brief pause for you to drink a small glass of spiced booze (other songs you drink at the end). The songs are often witty, funny, and romantic abou

Agreed! Depending on what temperatures you'd expect where you live, fur could be a great option for the environment. Well made fur cloaks can last generations (source: I'm still using my grandpa's fur coat). Compared to, say,

I've personally verified and approved a actual bugfix made by a LLM. Wasn't the trickiest nor most severe bug I've ever seen, but it had slipped through the cracks in our testing and review process, and the LLM caught it. Not

This is just plain wrong. Autonomous taxis are operating in several cities, I know of several companies that use AI to detect and fix bugs in code, and at least one that is currently experimenting with completely automating the process of u

How modular are these actually? Like, can you replace the screen, and could a third party produce a new screen module for it? Can third parties produce any modules for it, or is there some kind of licensing/patent that blocks that?

I'm just saying it would be fair to give her the OPTION of keeping the house. If she doesn't want it, the developer should indeed be forced to pay for it's removal, as has happened. But my understanding is that she wasn'

I think the "reasonable" solution GP is after would be to just allow the land owner to keep the house, if she so desired. Given her plans for the land however, I can see why she wouldn't be interested in that. Basically there
