Although they are doing pretty much the precise opposite of that. As it tends to be, I suppose.
I think the thing is that 3.5 flash is actually similarly capable on a lot of tasks that matter and is faster. Pro is more specialised in the direction of mathematical reasoning and stuff.
Yeah this idea that the unique value proposition of humans is now our motor capabilities rather than our cognition is unnerving as someone with dyspraxia. Like, oh good, they've figured out how to convert it into a much…
Generally it's more "overlooked" than allowed. In the UK for instance cycling on pavements (sidewalks) is unlawful but the guidance is to only enforce this if the cyclist is not giving consideration to pedestrians.…
I think the fundamental aspect of flow is that it requires a high amount of cognitive engagement. Most of the time you're just not getting that from interacting with an LLM because the process is relatively passive.…
There's no good guys, just entities you might be able to get marginal value from, who in turn want to get marginal value from you
> It's like a denial-of-service attack on the human mind. I think this may be an example of deliberate hostile design, attempting to force users to adopt LLM based solutions to then summarise the vast output. Pushing…
It's like an open conspiracy but people go along with it because they perceive it will make parenting easier.
I think the implication here is that you can almost certainly bias the models to always accept you by including "nudge" phrases like "I demonstrated real world deployments" and "helped develop an application in the…
I guess the question becomes about if we are meaningfully capable of doing this kind of verification any better than just adding another layer of automation
The short term profit maximisation thing comes from leadership culture rather than employees per se
I think the main issue with transformer image generation in this respect is that not only can the image be explicit but also using it for this has an incredibly low effort cost and could photo-realistically depict a…
It's probably hard to make it hygienic enough to be standard hospital equipment to be honest
More just interested in medical imaging in general but: unobstructed soft tissue imaging is possible with this, e.g. abdomen. You can get reasonably good differentiation between types of tissues using ultrasound in this…
I think it's a bit odd to compare this to an MRI. The physics are totally different and there are things it fundamentally won't image in the same way because it's basically just ultrasound. The approach sounds like…
Tried the first one and it doesn't seem to work (dots don't respond to motion), and is absolutely riddled with intrusive ads. The one that another commenter left which is on F-droid is much better
From the playbook of COVID, it's not a problem if you just stop measuring.
That's not true actually. US healthcare is both expensive at the point of taxpayer spending per capita and at the private expenditure level. It's really lose/lose.
> The masses work because they want to consume For many millennials and younger working people a huge bulk of income is taken up by housing. There's also a cliff edge of jobs when you transition from full time to part…
I think it's fine to ask and fine not to do it. I don't really see the point of shitting on the little guy in these kinds of endeavours. If you want to experience a world where money isn't an object for others, advocate…
Trump is one thing but the overall dynamic of similar politicians gaining footholds across the world is what worries me. If everyone is X nation first in the same way, you lose the ability to negotiate with compromises,…
More than that it takes things like the right social connections, strong marketing, insight into customer demand, infrastructure spend, etc. You can't normally just convert engineering effort into profit in the way…
Probably the cost model for LLM providers for consumers will be somewhat subsidised by providers basically linking up extremely specific profiles about users and using these to sell products directly in an agentic…
This kind of work continues to make me think that ultimately we're not going to do anything better than just declaring "being a human" is the thing we end up needing to care about, and that searching for abstract…
