Which pictures are you missing? I see three stills from the Bladerunner intro sequence, and two embedded videos of it.
In your experience, would you say that your communication has become more precise? Reflecting on it now, I believe that metaphors and idioms can help a lot for communicating intuitively and they can convey a lot of…
That's a very good question that I also don't have an answer to (yet). But I believe part of the reason for that is that were currently still in the middle of this shift, so there's issues of both knowledge about AI and…
Seems like for such requests it's necessary to get some proof of work: require a meeting where for every artifact they sent you to review, they briefly explain the gist and point out the motivation for creating the…
Agreed. It seems a core issue underlying these prompt injection attacks is a failure to properly scope the agent's permissions. In this case, depending on what exactly the agent is supposed to actually do, this might be…
I'm sure there's plenty of writing in the above style to be found on the Internet, and hence having been trained on by the LLM. I'm also not a fan of this style, and in particular I'd say it's rarely or never found in…

His last name sounds very close to the German word for boredom (Langeweile), that's kind of funny...
To see it as "kek" you'd have to be Alliance.
Those ads are not for workers, they're for the employers.
My guess would be yes, it's cultural. I'm not Indian but spent about 5 months there. Overall my impression was that people act much more on direct feedback. It would be typical to do the first thing that comes to mind,…
I also believe it to have been easier with ADHD in the distant past. My reasoning is that in a small, but tighter group there will be others who can compensate for the ADHD person's executive function deficiencies. But…

I share the sentiment of the parent with regards to "either deterministic or random" sounding off to me. I wanted to propose "stochastic" as a better term, but apparently "random" and "stochastic" are synonyms. [1] What…

I think you are conflating introversion and shyness or a broader uncomfortableness / inexperience with social interactions. Yes, these things can be related. Spending less time socialising will lead to fewer…
