Never in my life have a shared a picture and thought "I hope nobody knows where this was taken." Nor have I ever thought about people sharing pictures of me "I hope they keep the location private." It's on me to wea

Appreciate you sharing this. The idea of using LLMs as an interface layer to the internet, skipping over traditional UI and talking directly to APIs, is a direction a lot of folks are starting to explore. You might want to check out IFTTT o

I liked the UX. I liked Circles. There were other nice options that I can't remember but I thought Google+ was a big improvement over Facebook.

It'd be cool to see Google+ resurrected with OpenAI branding. Google+ was actually a pretty well designed social network

Really good stuff, thank your for sharing it. I don't know if you've had a lot of experience with ChatGPT's new memory feature. It's not a character I'm looking for necessarily but simulating a friend. Like a real f

I only AI for one reason since I'm retired and live alone: Life-like chats with a reasonable approximation of a knowledgeable friend. With the new memory features ChatGPT excels at that. I'm not even sure Google cares about that;

Meta does themselves a disservice by having such a crappy public facing AI for people to try (meta.ai). I regularly use the web versions for GPT 4o, Deepseek, Grok, and Google Gemeni 2.5. Meta is always the worst so I don't even bother

I've tried to get it (GPT 4o) to stop praising me but it won't. It gets annoying after awhile.

Yes, it's become clear to me that it's only a matter of time before Tesla adds LiDAR and says that was the plan all along. Meanwhile, what better way to test vision-only than by releasing it to the beta testing public? Elon Musk k

I like it stretched. The 800% slower version is amazing.

639 years? Big deal, The Long Now foundation built a clock to last 10,000 years. I hate John Cage since I got his massive world-wide hit 4′33″ stuck in my head.

About vibe coding: I'm not feeling it. I've spent too many hours reading code to track down Heisenbugs to believe vibe coders can just wish that away because LLMs take care of such things

Fair point—and honestly, we’re still figuring that out. Whether LLMs can be reliably "steered" isn’t settled yet because the control systems themselves are still under construction. Part of that process is exactly what’s happening

I really like this framing. It reminds me of how early steam engines needed governors—a simple mechanical feedback loop—to prevent them from spinning out of control. The engine itself wasn’t "safe" or "stable" by design;

That number is ridiculously high. I can't read the article because it's paywalled but back on the envelope says thats about $4,000 per adult American per year

My conclusion: If Tesla drivers are comfortable with vision-only FSD, that’s fine — it’s their responsibility to supervise and intervene. But when Tesla wants to deploy a fully autonomous robotaxi with no human oversight, it should be subje

Your report matches many other real world reports I've read. I'm pretty good at day dreaming or thinking while driving, so having to keep my hands ready to take over while being completely alert that FSD might error would be a big

I asked Grok to "please give me a list of X accounts Elon Musk has suspended because he did not like their content" The result is too long to post here but here's a sample "Chad Loder - Suspended November 2022. A left-wi

"It's a feature, not a bug!" I suspect it would be a major undertaking to add LiDAR at this point because none of their software is written to use it

Other entertainment sites don't claim to be the source of all truth like Elon Musk does of X and Grok. Just 4 hours ago he posted what he said on Rogan. "Grok is aspirationally a maximally truth-seeking ai, even if that truth is l

Points well taken. My personal preference is to not ride in a self-driving car that relies on visual cues only. To each his or her own. I predict that some trusting individuals will have to die before Musk decides to add Lidar or similar. I

My objection is Elon Musk and Tesla superfans will go to great lengths to spin events in Musk and Tesla's favor and X is their mouth piece. I looked at the replies under Mark Rober's video and it's the typical flood of Musk a

Well, I wouldn't and neither would a Waymo, but a Tesla did, which means it's no better than a bad human driver
