Well the direction of travel now is that you provide your identification documents to all providers, that feels like a far worse solution that some trusted attestation nodes to me. The options available are not "perfect solution"

This is what I'm getting at, this is an ideological position. You are of course welcome to hold it, but you will have a way worse solution forced on you by normal people who will not go along with this binary view of the world. The def

Ideological is the best way to describe the reaction by most people on here I think, counterproductive is another one. The reality is most normal people want children protected, unless we can come to the table with good options we are going

I'm not sure it's fair to give Germany too much grief on this front. They are actively destroying their industrial base in a desire to hit net-zero.

Would it work to have an AI write the spec, and a different AI implement the spec? I think there are going to be a lot of these types of scenarios where the old way of doing things just doesn't hold.

Realising the irony of complaining about the complaining; can we not just have one comment that moans about AI writing and then consider it said? It's going to be and endless circular discussion going forward, AI is not going anywhere,

Or OpenAI decided to allow democratically elected leaders to make defence decisions rather than have some corporatocracy to step in and start deciding what actions are moral. Even if you agree with Anthropic's moral stance I would hope

No. I do have the gammarly tool running though, and it often corrects my writing.

My understanding is it learns from us. It's to be expected that it often speaks the way we speak, especially in places like this, since it's a free source of training data. I'm not sure playing "spot the llm" is goi

This feels like a bit of a staw man argument, I'm not sure there's any reason to read into it that you could help someone do morally bad things and feel good about it. To be clear though feeling good is not the justification per s

I didn't even mention them being his kids, the point really is that focussing on giving to others is the path to happiness and fulfilment vs focus on self. It doesn't have to specifically be children at all. I guess I get why that

Absolutely! That’s a great point. For real though, I’m not wasting tokens on comments. I do wonder if we will pick up habits when interacting with them a lot though.

by bengale 7mo ago
Yeah, and I do get it to some extent. Everything about having a child seems burdensome and hard. Turns out it's doesn't feel anything like that and I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing. I wouldn't swap with

In the nicest possible way, this is basically the oldest lesson there is. You weren’t happy because you optimized your feelings or had the right opinions. You were happy because you stopped focusing on yourself and became responsible for ot

Meet is actually surprisingly brilliant tbh.

One thing I've found useful is to have deliberate google meet calls when having planning discussions or firming up decisions. I set up the recording and transcription and then up front we define the problem and what we want the outcome
