Well, I think you should always do that(if your constraints let you). But working with actual users and valuing their input is to be prefered of course. Every user can be a power user if you give them the tools so they empower themself.

Not just with the pricing models and avaiability, also with how the tool behaves. Currently I am fighting "auto-mode" that was introduced recently - and enabled by default without warning - and now I have to watch all the time tha

"If there were a button I could press, I would sacrifice myself without hesitating, if it meant millions of people would die." How charming. But did he factor in the consequences for nature of big catastrophic events? Humans tend

Well, ask any person medical dependent advanced tech on whether they want to go back to a primitive life - and most obviously say no, as they would literally die. And also most other people like hot showers and refrigerators. So you cannot

"Doomscroll doesn’t necessarily have to be about negative news. " Taking the name literal, it does. But sure, endlessly scrolling positive news while being in a zombi state in reality, is doom as well.

I don't like LLM prose pretending to be human with emotions and affection. I like LLM generated code that works in a technical way. Just like I like LLM prose that tells me the facts I want to know. But no fluff.

I don't have the hardware but a often mentioned advice is to put your mac into energy saving mode - it still will work, a bit slower, but stays cool.

Exactly. Cuba is a pain in the US politics since generations now. If Trump would solve it, that would boost him. But if it fails, with declared victory but significant partisan warfare afterwards - not so much.

"The only hope the US had was an alliances with other Western-style nations" Maybe Trump bets on his great relations with Putin and Kim instead.

And maybe the US will learn again, that a great deal is something that people can rely on?

Isn't that mostly hyperbole? When I ask AI to research technical information about X and (include sources) - I get mostly solid information as response. But poems or interesting fluff blog entries by LLM's? Not something I look fo

On the other hand, they had on average someone in every appartment block and every company directly reporting to them and doing on request other things. The human touch of spycraft. Nowdays spying on the population is automated.

The very big difference to the Stasi is, people back then were really afraid to speak their mind, as there were real consequences fast, for doing things as stating your opinion about ghe government. And not creating attention while saying,

Fortunately it was the national defense of a different country (UK and not germany) so that might have helped.

Limited time and energy left? On the other hand, Da Vinci became Da Vinci without those tools either and whether he became the genius if he would have offloaded his thinking to AI from small on, is up for debate I guess.

The main thing here is it used to work faster and google surely can deliver data fast - but now they intentionally changed procedure to make it slower. That could be fined for going against the spirit of the licence contract.

I am pretty sure most people do not want to become zombies. But entertainment is not the same as intentionally creating addictive mechanisms, the lines are blurry though.

Check for the targets of the dev teams. What gets them promotion. Right now they openly optimize for 'engagement".

by lukan 2mo ago
