I didn't downvote, but it's naive to the point of irresponsibility not to assume and prepare for LLMs being weaponized in the exact way as social media as you alluded to. It's not like human nature or the nature of capitalism

I still use the Garmin I bought in 2010. I refuse to turn on my phone's location tracking. Also the single-purpose interface is better and safer than switching between apps and contexts on a general purpose device.

So many more people hide out in their homes since covid, anyway. It wouldn't seem like much of a punishment to them.

She may be of the final generation of real creatives who aren't at a disadvantage relative to those who take the path of least resistance and put out slop. The current/next generation of the audience may look at manually created a

Is putting it mildly and vaguely the new tactic, since concretizing the arguments always exposes their impotence?

Sorry, I'm not paying with an app. If the tech giants want my credit card transactions they'll have to buy them from data brokers and deanonymize them like everyone else.

In 25 years we'll reminisce on the times when we could find a human artist who wouldn't impose Google's or OpenAI's rules on their output.

We don't talk enough about AI as a vehicle for what's essentially austerity.

Semi-related, I've been getting calls from the CDC lately to take a phone survey about immunizations. I know the calls are from legit government numbers, they're not a scam. But I can't bring myself to contribute data to what

When I think of so many people who can least afford to do so buying everyday items at dollar stores, CVS, gas stations, and other convenience stores with such high unit prices it bums me out.

But the ecosystem exists, regardless of what the absolute number is, and it would be bad to lose it. If the platform was more open like Windows the ecosystem would grow, if it was less open like iOS it would die.

Economically "conservative", socially liberal. The richest among the right get what they want in gaining wealth from the rest, but they lose at preventing acceptance of interracial marriage, homosexuality, etc. because that social

You're both right. You're describing it from Apple's point of view, he's seeing it as a normal person who isn't one of the marks.

Developers of these apps would have little motivation if the maximum audience size was cut down to the very few who would use adb. The ecosystem would die.

The calculator didn't make people better at math, it led to a society of people who can't do math without a calculator. And as a result math doesn't get done in many casual situations where it would be helpful, but people don

People are unsophisticated and see how convincing LLM output looks on the surface. They think it's already intelligent, or that intelligence is just around the corner. Or that its ability to displace labor, if not intelligence, is immi

If a "science experiment" has the chance to displace most labor then whoever's successful at the experiment wins the economy, period. There's nothing weird or surprising about the logic of them obsessively chasing it. Th
