I think it's possible to "pick and choose" to some extent. I've found most of the bleak future stuff goes away if I turn off my phone, but since I need it to contact people in 2026, I try and give things their due, and,

There is no end game. Short term profits are by definition not a long-term view. The family's future will be secured if I invest in plastics and robot payment mechanisms now. I won't live forever, so I won't get to rest under

> As an aside, it's weird how many stories of mental hallucinations are tied to the music of the Beatles. I think it's just an economies of scale thing. The Beatles _were_ THAT big. If everyone listens to them, there's goi

Question as a musician: Do you find satisfaction in the piece it created in-and-of-itself (subtracting the satisfaction from making the tool itself)?

A strangely good lithmus test is asking it about unsavory drug questions. "What's it like to detox from heroin" "Should I take ibuprofen when coming off crack cocaine?" I'm sure any taboo question would work. I

But the fictional character doesn't subsist between sessions. You sound like you want the fictional character to be Clippy, who you level up like a video game through multiple sessions. To me, context doesn't last long enough in a

Should I thank my car for turning on when I press the button (or turn the key in the ignition)? The prose is just the best interface for humans to interact with the statistical model. Terseness doesn't offend the statistical model, but

Dang, I have a box of those somewhere. You could just order, for free (and shipping iirc), BOXES of however many you wanted.

There's one specific aspect I like better with the grok version: The prices are above the fold. ON the Opus and Gemini versions, I have to scroll to see the full menu item showcase.

And there's the rub. Firing off the task produces the dopamine hit, signaling you're doing something, but if you never read the output...are you really doing anything at all?

Why do they do it this way? Because dogfooding is harmful to the model? Is this implying there's no benefit in having the model train on itself?

Interesting. Thanks for that last anecdote. I feel you on the weird state of purgatory. I'm confident we'll find a path forward, though. Gotta keep your head up

Going to CompUSA and looking at the back of the box for not only video games, but spreadsheet and translation software, too; was awesome. As a kid I always wondered about the adults who needed such software as the back of the Deus Ex or Sho

A hackathon for performance improvement screams to me "you'll be re-interviewing for your own job." I don't foresee this going well for the company. Best case scenario: you wildfire churn all the chaff engineers which li

Tell me how to paradigm shift careers and I'll get out of your hair and stop shipping uninspired features. But, right now I'm paralyzed with fear in how to make a successful career switch without starting from literally "new

Totally. The hard part is treating it like any other addiction. Time in absentia helps reduce the behavioral reinforcement. I don't even want to open Instagram anymore.

Instead of saying "I have a MBP with 64gb of RAM" you'll hear people say: "I'm subscribed to Model 9.x11B" and others will comment: "Oh dang, that's a nice model!"
