I wish this wasn't brushed off, but when I suggest it, frequently, as a scientifically proven method of improving happiness, well, it gets brushed off. I guess it's really difficult to relate just how much it can improve your lif

Might seem a bit misanthropic, but us humans probably are just going to be a blip on Earth's history, being the proverbial frog in the slowly boiling pot. But I suspect that cockroaches will carry on just fine. So at least there is h

Surprised to encounter someone more vehemently against ads than me. But I appreciate the sentiment, and bookmarked the site so I can try some of those things myself. I pay for what I want to look at, not with my time and attention, but mon

If you say. But I doubt it. Now, could this happen to others - yes, completely plausible.

At that point it's no different than, say, graffiti. Can only be of so much artistic value, and certainly not worth more than a glance.

Meh. Not interesting from a human standpoint. What possible insights into the human condition can such a Frankenstein's monster of AI give me? What has the AI been through that informs its "art." I can't relate to the

It's trained on other peoples (less than great) code? Cause the results I'm getting wouldn't pass my company's code reviews.

Crime is a for profit business for the perpetrators, politicians, and law enforcement, and the only victims are, well, the victims. There isn't much profit in peace.

This is the future - maybe not everywhere, and probably not soon, but it is an eventuality. Also, AI will be treated like encryption - it will become a munition, with the same type of restrictions as munitions ( https://en.wikipe

Ebert's take focuses on the human aspect of Solaris, but the other aspect of both the movie and the book that is just as appealing to me is our inability to understand the alien ocean itself. All the attempts to anthropomorphize its b

Okay, that makes more sense to me. But those seem like "toy" things to throw ChatGTP at (not dismissing their usefulness or their importance to you, just that they are fairly simple things [and maybe I'm wrong here, I have n

"I think people writing all this should stop and try GPT4." Have you? I mean, for something that's actually useful beyond just simple stuff, like at your job where it's going to matter? Because for what I'm doing

"It's just a tiny tiny change. We just dropped the "Don't ". The shorter phrase better reflects our new streamlined business practices to better suck shareholder d*ck."

It works the other way, too. You're happier when you don't consume the news. That is also scientifically proven, although I have no linkage to support that claim.

I love the hand-wringing. I can hear the South Park, "They're coming for our jerbs!" The problem is going to be the what people do with the AI. Imagine our good friends over at Meta setting the AI on its products with the e

I think because it's easier. The skeuomorphic designs take thinking, actual design work. The flat UI elements essentially design themselves. Of course designers are going to gravitate towards having to do less and having to think ab

Rather than subconscious fear I have conscious hope. I really hope that such models can be used for improving human life, something, much more really, than what appears to be the trivial uses of Chat-GPT. How about we feed it information

Interesting that little correlation was found. My experience has been that "good" programmers follow the most prevalent conventions of the language so their code is easily parsed by other humans used to seeing it that way. Like I

Ouch with those down votes. Prolly don't say "all" cause absolutes are almost always wrong. But the sentiment is correct. They're not in those positions because they're technically smart, but because they're
