I was walking on the street the other day. It was fine summer, and I saw so many elderly walking outside. All of them were using one type of aid or another; some even had a social worker at their side. As I saw them, I was thinking that my

Hm? Have you taken a look at the law? https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/12 What's even "harmful content to minors"? Even if it were restricted only to pornography--which

Just a reminder that this kind of user-to-user interaction feature makes your website a "social network" according to UK regulation (and Mississippi's, and more jurisdictions coming soon), and therefore you must get copies of

Economy is the realm of unseen connections and unexpected consequences. If USA's tariffs look obviously troublesome, I'm probably just seeing the tip of the shark fin of this black swan as it swims under the water. I have this f

I can be convinced that different spaces need different styles. But, correctness intrinsically emanating from language? That one is not an absolute, unless one happens to be a mathematician or GHC the Haskell compiler or any of the other lo

The well is already poisoned. I'm refraining from hiring editors merely because I suspect there's a high chance they'll just use an LLM. All recent books I'm reading is with suspicion that they have been written by AI. H

I’m reading a book that went through a competent editor that cares about spelling, semantics, style, tone and a type of depth. I can tell it’s a human editor from a certain craft school, and also that this editor has been at their job for

I have colleagues that want to plan each task of the software team for the next 12 months. They assume that such a thing is possible, or they want to do it anyway because management tells them to. The first would be an example of human fall

This is, in my opinion, quite accurate. In the world of software development I meet a breed of Swedish devs younger than 30 that can't write code very well, but who can wax Jira tickets and software methodologies and do all sort of thi

Dishonest strawman? I sincerely understood the post implied China produces only junk, which I thought was an unfair statement. My apologies. In a second read, now I understand that the post implies that China produces lots of junk that then

I won't deny your point, but I think we are missing something. China's economy has more cutthroat competition than at least where I live. As such, strict QC is a must for any brand there that wants to survive and have a presence i

There is Chinese junk, German junk, and American junk. But not all of those countries are into junk production exclusively. I've received goods from a China startup with are much higher quality than goods from a Germany company which i

How does this compare with state-of-the-art LLMs? Does this mean that the bottom 20% of 15 years old in Denmark , which has free education[^1] are only good for playing Call of Duty and taking plumber jobs? What does that mean for the futu

I have noticed the same and tbh it’s annoying as hell. But also to be honest, never before have humans been so determined to pour so much money, effort and attention into something you need a complicated soul to not interpret as utterly rec

This is anecdotal, but the article used ChatGPT to score the sentiment. I’ve noticed that ChatGPT tends to “hallucinate” positive sentiment where there is sufficient nuance but a person would interpret it as overall negative[^1]. I however

Correct. This is a tongue-in-cheek remark and I hope it ages badly, but the next logical step is to build accountability into the AI. It will happen after self-learning AIs become a thing, because that first step we already know how to do (

The argument goes like this: - Today, AI is not incredibly useful and we are not 100% sure that it will improve forever, specially in a way that makes economic sense, but - Investors are pouring lots of money into it. One should not assume

Realistically, in an AI extreme economic disruption scenario, it's more or less USA the only one extremely affected, and that's 400 million people. Assuming it's AI and nothing else causes a big disruption before, and with th

Big fan of your argument and don't disagree. If AI makes a virus to get rid of humanity, well we are screwed. But if all we have to fear from AI is unprecedented economic disruption, I will point out that some parts of the world may su

WordStar is not the problem, StarWars is. Popular culture has become so vapid that when it comes to writing and the thinking behind writing, most people fare worse than an LLM. I know that old people have been saying this basically since an

I've used BERT to do that sort of thing. It was a prototype and I was using Pytorch, also, I'm not an expert on Pytorch performance. I also tried with models that succeeded BERT for masked token. My issue with it is that it was sl

There is great potential. But if humanity can't share a loaf of bread with the needy, nor stop the blood irrigation of the cracked, dusty soil of cursed Canaan[^1], what are the odds that that acceleration will benefit anybody? ([^1]:

Sadly, it is common enough these days. There are reports of authors that set up a stand to physically sell their books, and members of the public ask "is this AI-written? Who made the cover? Is this cover AI?" > My impression i

Nice! As an aside, while this tool can be used to create an audiobook from a book you have in text format, for your private consumption, having an author employ something like this to create files for distribution is extremely risky, even i
