What levels are they actually at in your experience?

smart rings aren't meant to last more than a couple years though - the rate of progress on these means that you're more likely going to be paying for a smart ring subscription than a physical object

Fabling.app Got tired of trying to learn Spanish with Duolingo. This uses the parts of AI that can actually help one learn efficiently, namely: - generate stories that are slightly beyond your understanding (i+1) - i.e mostly words you know

Some of the models claim to be audio to audio, like one of the Gemini models. But I've tested and it does seem that you're right, it's not getting all the nuance at all

That's great- i recently went down the same path! I was using grok in my car but got frustrated it wouldn't keep track. Built my own app, currently focused on having it generate stories for me at my level, and also doing FSRS fla

I think a lot of artists want to have psychosis because it would improve their art ahaha. On a more serious note - real art is not validated by making money. If you want to be a full time artist, then you also have to run a business. But if

I don't think I elaborated on the type of person that I would consider having AI psychosis. It isn't just being enthusiastic. What I've seen (and it's not common, but I've seen it a few times), is this sort of arrog

I was talking to a friend recently, and i think i aligned with a similar definition. I've seen people who talk nonstop about AI, and how it's changed everything, but then there's no quantifiable output that supports their cla

Yes, but the baseline is the amount of fraud/crime that happens without crypto - which is extremely high.

Sure, but that takes generations to change, unfortunately

I'm not sure if there is actually any evidence of this? Criminals do very well without crypto. If you look at percent of the economy that is fraudulent, it is quite large. If you look at percentage of crypto economy that is fraudulent,

I just can't stand how often Claude says something like "And the honest part? It's..." Like, were the other parts not honest? I don't understand how Anthropic let it get like this, it's been such a clear regres

Would you say the same thing about people not knowing assembly after compilers came out?

I think I agree. But it's nice to have the option. Furthermore, i think it's too early to see the results of this, as technology takes a while to diffuse. Since there are so many people trying to take advantage of the hype to make

True, i agree. Which is why it will take quite some time for this technology to diffuse and for people to learn which apps really are good

This comment comes up over and over again and it's incredibly ignorant. To give just a single example, ai code dev has enabled people to make tools for themselves that they didn't have before. I've made a language learning ap

to be fair, all it's doing is sampling the frames and maybe doing transcription, if I'm not mistaken. So you can do it with the other models too, you just need to sample the frames yourself and do the transcript yourself

gemini flash is probably the best model for visual tasks right now. they also make it really easy to ingest videos

I also agree with this. LLMs are a great companion when reading a book to clarify things and dive into specific topics. I'd imagine an application that uses LLMs will be created that better manages learning. It's just not clear wh

at this point, it's pretty easy to create evals/benchmarks, and then run the latest model on them. LLMs are so easy to swap out, so having good benchmarks/evals are pretty useful. Even then, a lot of the time the model improv

No, not really. My comments are organic - they come from a place of frustration, seeing such trivially wrong arguments against data centers. All the arguments I see against data centers are arguments against industrialization. There are als

yeah I had this happen to me. Except when I go to maintain it, now cursor/claude are good enough to essentially handle it on their own, so it turns out to be very low effort to maintain.

there's an unnatural amount of doomerism against datacenters, of exactly this kind. It's pretty obviously astroturfed.
