I'm thankful I tested Fable via my subscription before the cutoff. To me, it seemed like at least part of the improvements were in how it broke up work for a "one-shot" style prompt, but I was very impressed at how…
Computers feel like a pretty good analogy for how AI will affect the workforce. I suspect productivity will massively increase, the complexity and cognitive load of our work will similarly multiply, and yet we'll still…
I've been thinking for some time that it wouldn't be too hard to create a third-party browser extension to crowdsource detection of channels that use primarily AI-generated content (for example, the AI slop music…
Like a lot of things in tech and pop science, "AI psychosis" had a narrow(-er) definition [1] (psychotic-like symptoms, i.e. believing the AI is in love with you, or being fueled by the AI into some strong delusions or…
I loved my TI-84+ SE and wish I still had it (had all sorts of custom programs on it but it got lost or stolen before I finished high school). That said, I find it really hard to believe that they can't provide better…
The cost of these devices isn't the computation, and if anything more connectivity would probably make these more expensive and harder to use (many "smart" devices in classrooms have networking issues and if even one of…
I wish the audio quality of youtube videos matched other streaming services. Bandwidth-wise it's pretty minimal, but the audio quality isn't quite as good as competitors like Spotify (and the longer they take to upgrade…
> By this logic, the Nazis were the good guys in WWII, and Israel would be the good guys if they'd just turn off all their pesky air defenses. Can you elaborate on this? I thought that the Nazis were pretty obviously…
The trust component is so critical here. When I get halfway through reading a design doc and hit a part that's obviously slop, it really hurts my confidence in the project and in any faith in the developer having done…
> This was not opportunistic. It was precision. The malicious dependency was staged 18 hours in advance. Another obvious ChatGPT-ism. The fact that people are using AI to write these security posts doesn't surprise me,…
I think this is a political and economic problem rather than a technological one. I cannot think of a more important skill than surgery to continue training humans to do and to be wary of AI robotics replacing. Sure,…
This is an angle for people who default to AI-edited written speech that I've tried to be more empathetic to. I think it depends on your audience, but in professional writing that isn't published publicly (i.e.…
I've been meaning to get off Gmail, and Proton Mail does seem like my favorite of the alternatives from a quick glance, but I'm also concerned about privacy focused services like Proton getting blocked or compromised in…
I think many used to feel that Google was the standout ethical player in big tech, much like we currently view Anthropic in the AI space. I also hope Anthropic does a better job, but seeing how quickly Google folded on…
I feel like this anecdote represents the differing incentives / philosophies of each group rather well. I've noticed ChatGPT is rather high in its praise regardless of how valuable the input is, Gemini is less placating…
> cmd /c "whoami&&tasklist&&systeminfo&&netstat -ano" > a.txt Naive question, but isn't this relatively safe information to expose for this level of attack? I guess the idea is to find systems vulnerable to 0-day…
This resonated a lot with me. I am also addicted to being useful and find that off days where my output and usefulness isn't where I'd like it to be really tank my self esteem. I do think it can be a double-edged sword…
> Communicating with Voyager 1 is slow. Commands now take about a day to arrive, with another day for confirmation. I found this a bit silly given the headline: "well duh, that's the theoretical limit barring fancy…
There's some thoughtful comments here already, but I wonder the same thing constantly as a fairly addicted user of YouTube who wants to avoid short form video altogether. I think Premium users tend to be the most…
I think you're advocating for better mental health care and rehabilitation of addicts, which I agree with. However, the idea that addicts will destroy their lives regardless of whether they stop using, or are forced to…
For all of the naysayers in the comments, I think the author has hit on a palpable societal trend, at least in the US. My leading theory is that the pandemic supercharged a lot of folks' individualist tendencies and/or…
> Perhaps we need a corporate structure between a non-profit and a for-profit Maybe a co-op (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative)? There are also "for-profit" like businesses that are oriented around a different…
Notepad++ was a life saver in my early days of needing to open and edit large files without having the tech literacy or familiarity required to use an actual IDE. I was a Windows "tinkerer" for a long time before…
For anybody who's wondering, Nintendo doesn't _actually_ own Pokemon (a common misconception), but has a major stake in "The Pokemon Company", which does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#Subsidiaries As such, I…
That's a pretty grim outlook, but I honestly can't poke a "hole" in its logic. Well stated, somebody's clearly done their reading on Marxist theory :) I've been struggling recently with limitations on "managing upward"…
