Well duh. You can also post a random AI malware prompt, and I can assure you nothing will happen. What's your point?

The person I was responding to says "HIV is not a solved problem" and "we need a new tool to solve it, a vaccine!" My argument is simply that new tools are great, but it's not what's going to solve the HIV prob

Taking teen pregnancy as an example: we have the tools to avoid it. We have condoms, we have birth control, we have the morning after pill, we have abortion. We have all the tools -- are more tools really going to help? The fact that tee

The problem is 1) the Nasdaq 100 is where the majority of gains are coming from, and 2) it very well might be another 3+ years before anything unravels, if it unravels at all. If you're truly at retirement, absolutely cycle out. But if

Perhaps you can answer this for me. Why do some people get very defensive when you suggest AI isn’t comparable to humans? Like, where is it coming from? Why do people seem to want to ascribe human traits on the tech? It’s just technology. W

You asked for my parrot's take, not how to disprove a conjecture. Edit: And not a great example to use to prove human-ness considering humans didn't disprove the conjecture?

My parrot doesn't have a take, but it sure can repeat one it heard on Reddit.

Parrots can also sound extremely human, but it’s only mimicry. How do we know the difference?

Very few businesses care about accommodating "one in a trillion" edge cases. (Most would call that over-engineering IMO)

The listings I saw with AI staging usually alternated photos, 1 photo unstaged, the next photo staged. Which meant you could toggle between the staged and unstaged photo. I didn’t notice any warping or distortion.

I dunno. I've been watching "How it's made" on Hulu to fall asleep at night. I’m constantly surprised by how many things are made with human hands, despite the ability to automate.

I'm assuming "AI images" means realtors using AI to stage empty rooms with furniture. I'm honestly fine with that as long as it's labeled. Having just done an apartment search a few months ago, AI staged images are

Filing lawsuits against ex-employees is going pretty far. Not good PR for Apple if their claims are wrong. Companies often file frivolous lawsuits against other companies. It’s much rarer to throw frivolous lawsuits at individuals.

Don't use calculator as an analogy, then. Calculators are a simple machine that implement very basic rules. LLMs are in a different category. The parallels you can draw between LLMs and calculators.. just don't make sense.

Now imagine if your calculator billed per button press. And imagine you can't own a calculator because owning one outright requires too much hardware (or whatever).

How many highways and bridges charge tolls via license plate reading cameras? A lot, it's legal, and I would be surprised if that data was used only for processing tolls.

I mean let's face it, most of us reading this comment are medically obese and would probably live at least 2-3 years longer if we lost 20 pounds. So why don't we?
