If enough people internal at Google get pissed off and raise this up enough it can legitimately get rolled back.

I feel like you're trying to misunderstand. Let's review the easy to parse things that have been said > I suppose you could say the same thing of Germany in the 1930s. The parallels aren’t even that hard to find as there are li

You're borderline saying "the present US administration, elected democratically, is equivalent to the Nazis". That's insane. We used to have a rule on the Internet for people like you. I'm no Trump fan, and people m

No he can't because the US is paying for that, it is the government's mission. And fwiw now the gray area of free starlink in Ukraine also taken care of, the US government is handling that contracting like they do with all weapons

If you want to work on manned spaceflight specifically or Mars colonization even more specifically, where exactly could you better spend your time?

The space shuttle was an awesome feat of engineering, but in practical terms, it cost a lot for every launch, so it really didn't deliver well on the most important piece of what reusability is supposed to get you. The tiles themselves

I believe it's because the space of physics interacting with specific designs of specific components in the context of a large system with other specific components is very, very big and thus it is not feasible to just "simulate e

Your comment does what your comment says isn't okay. Maybe you shouldn't go around policing people's opinions.

I am searching for the incredible information and I can't find it without the LLM because I don't know the proper terminology ahead of time and search isn't that good unless you know exactly what you want.

Yep, 100%. It just feels worse with doctors imo because it feels like the culture treats them like some monolith of skill and wisdom.

Okay that at least makes sense to me. IMO it's also clearly wrong, because I think even if you believe most of AI is hype you must see the value that a lot of people are getting from it, like the housing market example I gave. Apprecia

So you think the entire perceived value of AI will be wiped out. I think we probably are in a bubble, but much like housing bubbles in major metro areas, the value is real and so the bubble is on top of that real value vs being 100% synthet

That's a good point and even worse we'll eventually end up with yet another issue where both left and right offer terrible options and there's no nuanced middle ground :/

I don't totally follow what you're saying. Are you saying that LLMs are most useful if you're not intellectually curious, and therefore most interested in immediate answers, but also that they're very useful if you'

Coziness with banks can certainly be an issue, I don't know specifics and that article is pay walled for me, but it sounds very believable to me. That doesn't really change what I said regarding interest rates though.

Because the middleman is faster and practically never lies/hallucinates for simple queries, the middleman can handle vague queries that Google and Wikipedia cannot. The same reasons you use Wikipedia instead of reading all the citation

What is this AI slop that you're wading through and where is it? Spam emails are not any worse for being verbose, I don't recognize the sender, I send it straight to spam. The volume seems to be the same. You don't want an AI
