The article explains very clearly what these issues have to do with each other in this particular case.

TFA gives an example where kids are at risk and an old person is misusing a phone. It is clearly not advocating for this scenario to occur more often. Can you show anything else to indicate that the conclusion is "toughen them up"

I disagree, but thanks for making a coherent argument. It's a ray of sunshine.

In TFA, the author says "agency" not "full agency." I also can't find all these other issues (jobs, etc) in TFA. Where are you getting this?

I agree that there are several different issues at work. Can you show an example of how TFA conflates some of them? You may disagree with the author's conclusions, but that doesn't make the article nonsense.

I guess we should declare victory. You've acknowledged how LLMs actually work.

In fact LLMs are trained to predict the next token in the training set. Of course sometimes a new text input doesn't match the training set, or it matches two or more places in the training set. LLMs use a neural network to interpolat

Balancing parentheses requires semantic understanding? Look, some folks are more impassioned about this stuff than I am. Maybe that's a good thing. But LLMs do in fact just try to predict the next token, using a very big training set.

No, they were correct. In fact an LLM stitches together stuff it observed in its training data. That scales up way better than a lot of us expected, but it's still correct. If you train it on lots of working code, then it's usef

Wallhack is locked into the DNA of CS for some reason. The most common defense by far is mass denial. For the great majority of players that seems to be good enough.

I'll pick one incorrect claim out of many: Public ledger systems have no privacy at all, by design. You can hope nobody knows which wallet is yours, but that's not serious privacy. Today that's not even really hide-it-from-yo

No. It doesn't have to be a bubble at all. It just has to be a cycle of rapid capital equipment build-out that returns to more normal levels in a few years.
