I completely respect a personal choice of doing that, I mean I don't particularly want to engage with many of them either. Especially not when I can expect that I am going to likely be called a particular F word (I am a gay man). My bi

While I can understand the side that you are coming from. One of the biggest failures I have seen from my friends is demonizing anyone that may have voted for tump and these people, and refusing to have a conversation. Immediately labeling

I feel like I have done a somewhat decent job of trying to keep some of that childlike wonder in my own life, even just not abandoning things that I love like video games, watching anime, the occasional cartoon. I do wonder in practice how

Well... it is nice to get some good news on this front but I can't shake that this is likely short lived given the federal government right now... There is less and less any reason for them to try to hide their true intentions and can

I do wish that this was something talked about more, I know there have been studies supposedly showing there is not a correlation but that doesn't make any sense to me. I know there have been several times that I have been stoned enoug

Sure, but if you are a non technical user what are you likely going to search for first. A lot of non technical people know "winrar" and even if they don't if you search "rar file" on Google the first result is winr

I don't doubt the numbers. Until very recently Windows could not natively unarchive .rar files and you needed to download WinRAR to be able to do this. I still find it not terribly uncommon to run into a random .rar file that previousl

This is why research like this is important and needs to keep being published. What we have seen the last few years is a conscious marketing effort to rebrand everything ML as AI and to use terms like "Reasoning", "Extended T

I have now seen multiple articles about this and none of them talked about how much use it was actually getting today, which I have found disappointing. Not sure why none that I have seen have been any better.

It is quite concerning because SaaS isn't going away, (putting aside the questionable ethical side of an application like this) an application like this just is not possible outside of SaaS. It needs a server to centrally store informa

I am a bit confused here as well, is there a difference between "Push" and the notifications on iOS? I just checked my emails, I use Amazon Workmail and even that has push support. The only one for me that doesn't is my lesse

> Asking AI to tell reality from fiction is a bit much when the humans it gets its info from can’t, but this is at least not ridiculous. I agree with that, but the problem is that it is being positioned as a reliable source of informatio

So I was curious, in normal google search (with the AI summary) I put in "why is rum healthy" I got this, and then it listed a bunch of benefits: "Rum, when consumed in moderation, may offer a few potential health benefits. T

Under normal circumstances I could more easily give the benefit of the doubt on this, but the reality is we are not living in any amount of normalcy as far as this administration is concerned. Of course removing this does not change the law

Yeah I really don't believe that this is really the case, especially when we had a report recently saying clicks are down. It has become shockingly common to see people sharing a screenshot of an AI response as evidence to back up thei

Agreed, and the fact that there is not an easy "x" to close it is even worse. If you want to do something cute and fun, whatever its your site. But if you actually want people to use your site make it easy to dismiss. We already h

That is basically several paragraphs to just say "well you should just adapt to the new world instead of pushing against bad practices". There is barely any "why" actually said here. We just had the article about how AI

Slightly bothered that it seems like the article is conflating an app/website choosing to implement some form of verification vs a law requiring it. I think that if a website or app wants to make this choice, they should be allowed too

If we are purely talking about textbooks, I can see the value in a tool like this... assuming we still have yet to actually solve the problem of AI being able to tell the truth and could just lead to more issues if we can't even read a

While I do think the "without being asked" spin on this is likely wrong, I assume the "spicy" option is more than just saying "don't do X" and the system prompt was likely modified to encourage its creatio

Same for me, buying my dream machine pro (and AP's) was one of my few tech purchases that I have zero regrets buying. It is still running strong after a few years and see no reason to change it anytime soon. Have they been perfect? No,

If whatever this SaaS can be so easily built with no technical knowledge... why would a company not just build it themselves with "vibe coding" and cut out our friend completely? That is what is so broken about this whole vibe cod

I am just going to reply to this comment instead of going through each of yours. You are saying a lot about "Tact" but have yet to actually propose an alternative to how the OP said what they said. It is fairly common that because

Right, both things can be wrong here. We need to better educate people on the risks of posting private information online. But that does not absolve these corporations of criticism of how they are handling data and "protecting" pe

First, on the article itself. That title is just misleading clickbait. In the same article we go from: > The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global to a couple paragaphs in: > sold under the brand name Y
