Their new "Prove you're a human" is the problem here. Once you get that prompt once your only option is to install the app and upload biometrics. Fuck that.

Can you answer your original question now? If not, you should think about the similarities between humans and LLMs more rather than get lost in technical pedantry. Or think about an extreme case: an LLM that is trained…

It is painting with a similarly broad brush as the parent comment, yet I don't see your condemnation of that one. The thing to realize is that "because they use AI" isn't the thing that is making (some) content creators…

Seems a bit premature to make an HN post about then, imho. It's an interesting idea, but it doesn't really do anything interesting yet. I looked at the output in the training run and it is a far, far cry from…
Do you find all your own (human) trained knowledge unreliable?

It's also very clear that he took enormous risks out of the good of his heart and basically gave up his life for absolutely jack shit; it changed absolutely nothing. I'd be incredibly surprised if he isn't very cynical,…

I can't quite agree with your framing of loops, balance, and rhythm. A lot of the output patterns produced by the cerebellum are singular actions: tying your shoe laces, for instance. Progressing from learning how to do…

Exactly. The vast majority of people never progress beyond naive extrapolation into the near future, even in the face of clear evidence that their previous extrapolations were wrong. "Nobody will want to walk around…

It was definitely not 'turned off' completely. They have an internal 'internet' that was still largely active and not every organisation or person lost full internet access. Note that it also happened in a country that…

I agree: Not to drag politics into this, but look at how easy it has proven to manipulate many, many people, even with clear evidence of manipulation efforts being made. This is robust across the world, from the…
