Strong agree that "search" or information retrieval is not the killer app for large language models. Maybe chatbot is, or will be.

It's a great call-out to and reversal of Asimov's laws.

I would like to know more about who exactly is impacted. The article mentions that Nike's revenue is way up, so I guess they weren't hurt too bad by less targeted advertisement. Is it only adtech that is damaged here, or adtech&#x

Yes, agree.

The article argues that one should trust microcode updates at least as much as the original microcode. Okay. But why would you trust microcode? It's closed source software running at the base layer of privilege and you have very little

How I understood it, extremely simplified: Suppose during 2023, you make $1B from short-term trading. If that's all that happened, you'd be taxed for short-term capital gains on it. But also, this happens: July 1, 2022: Place a la

The Librem 14 has a neutered Intel chip (no ME) among other things. My favorite privacy/freedom-respecting laptop. https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-14/

Maybe you're thinking of privacy, not security? In terms of privacy, Android is "compromised" by default, i.e. Google collects and stores a ton of private information about you. I believe Apple used to be much better, and sti

How much space do pieces take up? I.e. how close do their centers have to be for them to intersect and block or be captured?

That would be fantastic, but I think it’s very far away. Right now LLMs are far too dumb and unreliable to be useful as tutors. Ironically, they’re only useful in domains you already know very well, because then you can detect BS.

How do you know if the summary is accurate?

One effect of the massive complexity of web standards is lack of innovation and competition in the browser space.

I doubt it's about what the creators themselves believe or want...

Are you saying that selling music/movies/ebooks/etc doesn't make financial sense without DRM and control? What about the history of vinyl, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, bandcamp, DRM-free ebooks, GOG games, etc?

I like this idea, and after copyright expires[1], the clearing house should also seed the work as a torrent for all to access. [1] While we're dreaming, make copyright 20 years.

Those aren't exclusive -- isn't renting an example of "buying a license"? But I would be okay if they had to change the misleading "Buy Movie" to a phrase like "Buy a Limited License to Watch Movie".

Easy answer: people care about policy, not facts. They will grab onto facts that support the policy they want, and push away facts that don't. The more politicized the issue, as with COVID, the more fearful they become that any doubt o

The difference is that with code suggestions, you don't necessarily notice errors, even extremely important errors.

Yes, strong agree. This is just the next generation of the FOSS and right to repair wars, with stakes raised (as was foreseeable).

This is talking right past the important higher level message in the post. A lot of it is a rejection of the entire way of thinking you present here.

When infrastructure makes it really hard for people to produce things, then there's no ecosystem for it and very few people get interested in producing things. At-home hosting would open up tons of applications. You could have at home

I wondered the same thing. Quite strange that both the author and ChatGPT made the same mistake.

I don't see why this output would be correct. Ask it for the source code to the google search engine next.

It's been an hour, did you read it yet? I would rate your prediction "mostly false". Interesting comments on Big Tech and politics, blockchain, development of cyberpunk, future of AI, etc.

It's amazing how many companies assume geolocation is perfect, for consequential decisions. I wasn't allowed to book a COVID vaccine by Walgreens because they said I was booking from a different state (I wasn't).
