Do you actually believe that this current wave of is no different than previous waves?

It's been out for 24 hours and you make an extremely confident and dismissive claim. If you had to make a dollar bet that you precisely understand what's happening under the hood, exactly how much money would you bet?

These "outsiders critique AI" articles never include their prompt. If you blindly copy and paste a brick of text into ChatGPT and ask it to "write an ad about this" then you can expect junk.

You get free food yeah but you get tired of eating the same limited menu every day. And it's simply hard to eat as much as you burn. At an 8 hour shift, I burned the equivalent calories as walking 10 miles. (Not that many steps but tha

I've seen a few sides of money. Raised upper class, lost it all and became underclass, then made it back. I'm always amazed at how limited rich people's worldview is. The average software developer, coastal liberal etc. They&

Barista is a fun job but it's about being on your feet while multitasking and talking to strangers. It's an endurance sport. When I was a barista I burned so many calories at work that I became underweight.

Have you written to him directly? If he's out of the public eye then he may receive fewer letters (hundreds per week rather than thousands). There's a chance he may get around to reading yours a few months down the line.

People always talk like this from the outside and yet when placed in the actual situation essentially everyone acts differently. "If I were in battle I wouldn't be scared" vs in actual battle essentially every soldier is scar

Has The Atlantic written any articles about how Google's skewed top results also warps reality?

Do you think others might like it as well or do you think your love of it is more idiosyncratic? As a fellow Anki user, I know the feeling of "Why don't other people LOVE this???". Only to learn they have good reasons - reaso

It sounds horrifying but it's hard to tell how much more horrifying it is than the average meat processing plant. They're big, complex, dirty facilities at the best of times. I've never seen the inside of a meat processing pl

Not OP, but we've had variations of "let's get a bunch of people together for a party" since the Stone Age. Meeting and events became a formal "industry" only a few decades ago. But meetings and events themselv

E.g. the way a librarian Googles stuff vs how an average user does. Googling "highest average income USA state" is fine for an average user. A research librarian would need to be more sophisticated because they're being asked

Gemini is powerful but I don't use it because I don't trust it. I don't trust the current Google, nor the current Gemini team.
