Of course Picasso's life experience influenced what he chose to make. This isn't what the parent comment is talking about. The claim was that current LLMs (though I assume they meant generative AI in general, since we're talk

Kind of a weird take that excludes the vast majority of human artwork that most people would consider novel. For all the complaints one might have of cubism, few would claim it's not novel. And yet it's not based on any new develo

This is true, but the FDA doesn't back up the original claim that unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated. They say to put all eggs in the fridge.

No, I like the AI summaries and I had assumed I was in the silent majority. People like convenience and it usually answers correctly.

Those are both responses from the same model. It's not one response from o1 and another from o3.

You're not factually wrong, but framing this as a fight between calorie restriction vs healthy eating and siding with healthy eating isn't right either. Both methods work for some people. Both methods have low long term success ra

Sure, but that's an entirely different metric to judge him on than the comment I was replying to. Instead of trying to judge the heinousness of his crime by comparing the raw amount stolen ($20-35B) to the value of a human life ($10M),

Many jurisdictions have the same punishment for attempted murder and murder though. I get that there are different views on how much punishment should be based on intent vs outcome. My opinion is factoring in outcome in criminal sentences i

You're either not understanding or refusing to engage with the hypothetical. When you steal a wallet, you don't get to choose how much money is in it. It could have $5, or $500. You're imagining something like a thief who jus

If someone robs a bank, or steals a wallet, they're probably hoping to get as much money as they can. If that wallet happened to $1B in it, I don't think it makes the thief more heinous. If we sentence people based on the amount o

That's not even remotely what anyone is saying. If you're denying there's a difference in quality between what the Nazis did and what Israel did, that's also rather appalling. To qualify Israel's actions as a genoci

This makes no sense to me. If 8% (171,000 people) of Gaza were to perish, that would leave Gaza with the population it had in 2020. The ceasefire reportedly will have Israel pulling out from Gaza fully and a massive influx of humanitarian a

The C-suite are humans and as humans, many of them have ideologies. It's very cynical to think executives have no goals or ideologies beyond enriching themselves.

I suspect the conditions were the opposite at the time: competition for good non-white employees was fierce after BLM, making them harder to find. If I'm understanding the Bloomberg numbers correctly, a random non-white person would ha

If you comment with evidence showing that, you might be enriching the comment section. Simply having a bunch of people leave unsubstantiated comments like "truth has a conservative bias" or "truth has a liberal bias" is

Conservatives believe the truth supports conservative beliefs, and liberals believe it supports liberal beliefs. This type of comment is about the same as just saying "I am a liberal", which almost by definition means you think li

You're likely not getting good McIntosh apples in your area. The texture should be similar to a typical apple, but not as crisp as Honeycrisp. A slice of McIntosh should snap if you try to bend it.

If it was mealy, it was probably improperly stored or grown in too warm weather. They aren't normally mealy. They're more tender and less crisp than Honeycrisp and have a pleasant texture.

Part of the reason for this is online job postings. The good candidates apply to some jobs, get hired, and stop applying. Some terrible candidates will apply to hundreds of jobs, never get hired for long, and just keep applying on every job
