Well sure, no one thinks LLMs invented bad writing, but they do copy the style.

Fine: you can't physiologically sustain yourself on a diet of gold alone. Gold is not a nutritionally complete diet. If all you have to eat is gold, you will soon be dead.

This is verging on parody. What is the point of emails if it’s just AI talking to each other?

If the creators set the LLM in motion, then the creators sent the letter. If I put my car in neutral and push it down a hill, I’m responsible for whatever happens.

Well your examples are things that were possible before LLMs.

What is going through the mind of someone who sends an AI-generated thank-you letter instead of writing it themselves? How can you be grateful enough to want to send someone such a letter but not grateful enough to write one?

I personally find that text written by a human, even someone without a strong grasp of the language, is always preferable to read simply because each word (for better or worse) was chosen by a human to represent their ideas. If you use an L

IMO they’re great - if you get it secondhand for cheap. I have one I got from a coworker for $100 when he was moving. 13 years later it’s as good as it’s always been, and I don’t even know how old it was when I got it. Comfiest office chair

I should have said it represents the pronunciation of English in and around London in the 16th century. English spelling wasn’t normalized until long after the Normans. Norman scribes did their part but it was the printing industry in Londo

Sure, there are some recent exceptions. But nearly all words that contain vowel pairs like “ea” and “ai”, for example, represent a much older pronunciation regardless of the current one. Words like “hear” and “wear” would have rhymed at one

The difference is those human-driven cars all have a driver who can be held accountable. If I kill someone with my car, I’m probably going to jail. If a Waymo or otherwise kills someone, who’s going to jail?

English spelling is one of the hardest parts of the language to learn because the spelling represents ~16th century pronunciation. However what we gained is a common orthography for all the different dialects and accents of English. I can b

The point of this isn’t to make another production-ready UI library. The point of it is to learn how UI libraries work by doing it yourself. Do you walk into a beginner woodworkers class and scoff at them for making yet another birdhouse?

They sold the rights to the revenue. They sold a dollar tomorrow for a penny today.

It's unfortunate that accessibility is so often neglected, but at the same time this tutorial seems to be more about the basic concepts of how a UI library works, not a complete overview of every aspect. They also didn't include t

Take two stones of similar roughness and rub them together for many, many hours. Eventually you'll have to flat surfaces that fit almost perfectly together. Beyond that, it's not hard to see how some skilled craftsmen with some kn

For what it’s worth, I think even the worst outcomes wouldn’t necessarily force us to extinction. Would be a bit of a reset though.

Not in the literal sense (which would semantically impossible), but we have domesticated ourselves with the advent of farming and the domestication of crop plants. We fundamentally changed our own lifestyle into an agricultural one, the sam

Why not interpret contempt as “contempt”, which is not “hate”?

What’s important to hide is always changing. So even if you have nothing to hide now, you may wish you had hidden it in the future.

That’s exactly how it works. Who will stop them? A Congress who has ceded all authority to the executive?

The only way that would work is if they were legally required to. And even then, it probably wouldn’t work unless failure to comply was a criminal offense. You know what? Even then it still might not work.
