Sorry, should have clarified. By "no person in the loop" I meant from the side of the language model itself. The person is interacting with a thing which produces content for it, and the only person engaged in that…
Agreed here. My personal opinion is that this is fixable, but it would require reinforcement into the models that counteract the sycophantic stickiness that most companies use to drive engagement, so it won't really…

As a visionOS user (somewhat) what is so funny about all of this is that the translucency effects in visionOS are significantly toned down compared to liquid glass for this specific reason. The glass is heavily…
To add some validity here, I think to an extent we already see distributions aimed at converting Windows users moving in this direction. Zorin OS has Wine support for .exe's almost out of the box, and there's Steam OS /…
Was working on a similar thing last year! Might as well open source at this point too.
I highly recommend taking a look at some tech starter packs, as i've found them to be very helpful in moving away from that feed. I agree that the political discussion is definitely still in that stage though
At least in my experience, this is also how Azure continues to function. Certainly reduces stress in the working environment
I am just a software engineer that wants to organize my tabs (documentation, repositories, pull requests, on call incidents) in a way that my brain can comprehend. I don't see how that makes me "management class"
Bard has certainly become better over the past few months, and while as a product it is worse in some ways (seems to have a purposefully low understanding of the previous context in a chat) it is up to date with…
I'd argue Twitter is just as complex, because Twitter's product is its users and the content they create, where the others are governed by the laws of physics and making a good car (i have one, they're good!). What you…
If the former president of the United States with a distortion field around his politics and the largest cable news network backing his every word couldn't succeed in launching a platform, I doubt Elon can. Unlike Elon,…
The guy has launched more than 2 companies. Last I checked there aren't any super tunnel sleds under LA fixing traffic there yet, and my car was supposed to be able to autonomously drive itself a solid 4 years before I…
well, sure. but unless you're hyper obsessed with far-right circles you're likely either in my boat, or just dont use twitter altogether.
the problem is that said "new platform" is doomed to fail, just as every free speech twitter competitor before it (gab, parler, truth, etc). this is an idea thats been attempted numerous times but doesnt succeed because…
i think the other problem with crypto, is that all of those things sound like great solutions that either involve significantly more hoops for a user to jump through or are problems the modern banking system have…
I wouldnt say thats a correct analogy though, a traditional bank / cryptocurrency provide similar user experiences these days with how their mobile apps work. At the end of the day even in crypto an overwhelming…
comparing the switch to the deck is akin to comparing a ps5 to a top of the line pc, in terms of both UX, time / effort required to run games, price, etc. consoles are _always_ underpowered and restricted in terms of…
iOS doesn't do that anymore. Local network access has been a permission that apps need to be granted for at least a few years now
no as in, "computational photography has been a staple of every modern smartphone sold globally for the past 4 years, and this is one of the only examples of problems ever happening for anyone" lunch
alright, then in the suburb of new york i lived in (which was, mind you, in the middle of a forest), i could call up the local taxi company and get a cab to me in like... 30 minutes or so. really the only convenience is…
