Maybe this is a response to becoming an empty nester. You’re entering the next phase and taking time to reflect. The American monoculture, especially the “bigger” version you probably see in Texas, gets a little more direct observation when

Not in Hyundai. The brightness controls have no impact when CarPlay starts up.

Perhaps he is actually lamenting being the out of touch kung fu master, but his pride won't allow him to articulate the ways in which he identifies with that?

I’ve had this question on my mind at least once a month for what feels like years at this point. I don’t feel like monitoring Twitter to see how it’s going though.

Interestingly your cynicism does not seem to account for OP? I actually found my setting was enabled today when I know it was disabled before, so I’m inclined to agree with OP. I just think it was worth mentioning that there are other cynic

Why carry a phone at all? Just buy one and leave it at all the places you go. Have your personal security carry a backup in case you go somewhere your assistant hasn’t been able to get a phone delivered to yet.

No but it’s on my radar now, thanks. Apparently it’s got some appreciation from the MST3K folks too. https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project_(...

Just wait till self improving AI are focused on the problems of social scoring and political party empowerment / entrenchment. I doubt the focus is OpenAI and Anthropic looking at each other. I suspect they’re racing BRIC.

Teaching someone to recognize astroturfing is about as evil as teaching them to recognize bad kerning (insert relevant xkcd). You’ll destroy their blissful ignorance forever.

Isn’t the stateless nature of chat models a contrived method for scalability? I’m pretty sure that’s why so many in-the-know people have been saying we have achieved AGI already. Not just sama’s contract-breaking tactics of late. I’m referr

Ubisoft didn’t make either iteration of MW2. That was activision. But a year after that bullshit, then Ubisoft started pushing the always-online requirement for even single player games like assassins creed. Maybe you were thinking of that?

I read this article and the subtext in my head is “I pointed Claude at my ten year old code in a sandbox and it couldn’t handle adding the features I wanted. So for v3 I will make it better for agentic development.” I’ve become so cynical t
