This happens distressingly often in LLM demos. Significant errors being papered over because people are so enthralled by the "look Ma, no hands!" effect. Just got out of a work meeting where the exact same thing happened with an i

On this kind of story, where access is going to give you some insights, I'm happy enough to see her reporting. But yeah, absolutely spot on about Swisher in general. She has no technical chops to tell when someone is bullshitting her a

The solution is that folks have to put effort into themselves instead of being given a no-effort solution that helps trap them in a depressed state by making that depressed state slightly more comfortable. I say this as an ugly, uninteresti

Yeah, and the comments on this thread seriously worry me. We have people arguing that it is good for society to satisfy lonely men with virtual porn and other people saying that this is great, scrappy product development and the author shou

People have been using various chemicals for cleaning and knives for cooking for thousands of years. They are embedded in our culture. LLMs only became popular a year ago and the farthest back you can go with their origins is the 1950s. It

I think it is much more likely that Musk is going to cause a kepler syndrome collapse with starlink well before spacex is actually going to consider creating a moon base.

How is this making your browsing experience any better? You still have to know what you want to do, and it is just faster to type Rick roll into youtube directly and click the links directly instead of having to type k, or vh, or whatever.

I don't think I've ever met someone who actually thinks this is the right way to legislate. It's just really hard to design a meta system that would disallow this thing when legislators also control the rules of how legislati

Is there a stated reason that a handful of the biggest companies are sitting on cash piles greater than the yearly GDP of mid sized nations? Are they convinced that a more muscular re-investment in their businesses won't provide return

Is that not the goal? Since it turned out that creative disciplines were the first to get hit by AI (previously having been thought of to be more resilient to it than office drudgery) where are humans going to be safe from replacement? As e

Notably nuclear bombs are not actually used for any of these as this is either sci-fi or insane

by dangerwill 3y ago
If you apply this thinking to Nuclear weapons it becomes nonsensical, which tells us that a tool that can only be oriented to do harm will only be used to do harm. The question then is if LLMs or AI more broadly will even potentially help t

That isn't really a thing they can do for already shipped games, unless your game has an online component with dedicated servers and you need to update unity on the server side for a security fix. Most games don't upgrade their en

Exactly this and even a step further, who grades the test to determine which ballots to throw out? If the test is in anyway free-form then the hanging chads debate gets to happen at every polling station, forever

Any arbitrary test that is used to gate access to enfranchisement will be used by politicians to try to chose their voters. This was all fought over during the civil rights period and is simply a means to screw over the other side. https:&

It's really sad how everyone here is fawning over tech that will destroy you own livelihoods. "AI won't take your job, those who use AI will" is purely short term, myopic thinking. These tools are not aimed to help worke
