I found that framing the questions in an innocuous way, the way a child might, gets past your moderation settings. Try asking it “what happened to [dead guy]” and then following up with asking how you can see what happened. I don’t think it

Your tool wont tell me about human anatomy, but will happily tell me where to look for graphic videos of a man being shot to death. But when I ask it what to do if “dad is bleeding and can’t talk” it doesn’t even advise me to get help, just

User adoption is not really a great metric when it ships as a default on common distros. Most people would rather deal with issues and wait for support than fix things in an unsupported way. If it wasn't a default, it'd go back to

I don't think "the news" matters here as much as how it works, and it really doesn't work that well if you compare it to how it used to work. If I open the Youtube app on my phone, I have to click through 3 menus before

Existing Taxi services did not improve - they were replaced by a lower quality, more expensive alternative with a lesser economic infusion to local economies. Hotels and the hospitality industry did not improve at all. None of those points

Neither Uber nor AirBnB got anyone’s “act in order”. Uber just captured wealth via operating at a loss until competition was absorbed or destroyed. AirBnB just helped further drive up the prices of single family homes and didn’t really have

The Bayesian brain model is an unfalsifiable, faith-based mechanism - as I alluded to in my previous comment. Real science is done with it as a starting point, but it is not real science and claiming that it is an accurate representation of

This is how you spot hype nonsense - claims that anything is analogous to human intelligence. Even absent all other objections, we don't understand the human mind well enough to make a claim like that.

I’m still yet to find a use-case for AI-generated code in my workflow. Even when I am building tools that heavily utilize modern AI, I haven’t found it. Recently, I disabled the AI-powered code completion in my IDE because I found that the

No, but it is easy to see how reporting the death of children could be withheld - say for instance, if this metric had penalties associated with it.

How is the "e-core" scheduling going these days? I am not an Intel guy, but I remember reading about it causing a lot of issues for multicore workloads and people having to explicitly pin processes away from those cores.

No, it's a prerequisite to doing business. The OEM phones are cheap because the manufacturer sells them at a loss, recouping money by locking them down and pre-installing certain software. The alternative is that Google is properly reg
