DuckDuckGo, which uses Bing I think, now has Bing's AI summaries instead of the goddamn content in search results, which makes evaluating the search results at a glance useless!

Secure from whom? I can envision a future where the real IoT security risk is insider threat. Buried in your smart lightbulb EULA there could be consent to be used as a residential proxy.

Hehe, I imagine the back-and-forth between the architects and structural/mechanical/HVAC guys will be glorious.

You run into knowledge collapse because nobody is socially reproducing that knowledge.

AI is great for undifferentiated heavy lifting and surfacing knowledge, but by the time I've made all the decisions, I can just write the code that matters myself there.

Ok, and, what your solution?

What sort of assurances can I get from that weekend project? I think we're going to build even more obscene towers of complexity as nobody knows how anything works anymore, because they choose not to.

I think friction is important to learning and expertise. LLMs are great tools if you view them as compression. I think calculators are a good example, people like to bring those up as a gotcha, but an alarming amount of people are now innum

Can you talk about Rust without your friend computer?

Dang. So an IdP + SCIM? From an IAM team perspective I rather dislike having IdPs being the source of truth for authz, because you're embedding a lot of application specific logic in a second location. It can't be worse than Shibb

Does this compete with IDMs with Sailpoint?

There's two schools of thought here: viewing LLMs as machines to replace your thinking, and viewing LLMs as a vast corpus of compressed knowledge to draw upon.

Use it or lose it. Soon you'll find you're unable to structure complex ideas without your friend computer.

I thought engineers frequently used notebooks? I guess if an electrical engineer ever sketched anything in a notebook, they're just pretending.

There's no money in being a good browser and a minority will scream at any attempt for Mozilla to make money other than donations.

They're great tools. I don't think the education system should be gutted and replaced with them though. What are the people pushing said tools choosing for their own children, not the masses?

What was integrating with PowerChart and Epic like? Maybe they've improved in the last ten years, but the interfaces for both still seemed pretty awful.

Maybe we'll get the Iain Banks Culture future!

Yes, that is how people type in chat, but a blog post isn't chat. What's fine in one medium can be annoying in the other.

Maybe. But everyone else here is celebrating Google being firmly inserted between them and any cognitive work they might do.

Finally, companies can wrench back control from those pesky users. Only Google should have root; any other interaction should be routed through their AI! You wouldn't want to own your own device anyways, just rent it!

I don't know, but I find it quite unpleasant to read.

Could you implement an actual state machine and have your agent work with that?

Ok, there is fundamentally a difference in creation versus consumption here though.

by hooverd 1y ago
You know, I'd really prefer not to, but I have eyes and object permanence. Maybe we'll get the Iain Banks Culture future!

Awesome! Hopefully your workload won't be adjusted up accordingly.

Why do you want to destroy social mobility? Do you think you'll be on the safe side of the line?
238.
by hooverd 1y ago
Good, it's a socially corrosive technology. Much like you might dismiss a quality product made with child labor.

Are you independently wealthy enough to benefit from that or someone who should invest in suicide pills for themselves and their family if that day comes?

Eh, every AI "artist" want the cachet of being an artist without any of the effort, but they're competing with other AI "artists" so they have no choice but to unleash a firehose of content sludge onto the commons i
