Sounds like a very expensive and time-consuming way to build something that won't work very well for a while. Is that the point?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what is new about the pointer itself? Seems to be functionally the same as selecting + tooltips / context menus.
And whether the LED is off is false or true.
But... cows do drink cow milk, that's why it exists.
Really? If a company advertises a new red version of their widget and I excitedly upgrade because I love red, but when it comes it's gray just like the old widget, don't I have a case? Surely I don't need to demonstrate…
That makes sense when tools are as dumb as static notes and TI-84s. But in the (hypothetical) limit where AI tools outperform all humans, what does this updated test look like? Are we even testing the humans at that…
Which app?
To be clear, the issue this article is talking about is essentially "during a video call the other party can see your eyes moving." I agree that we should be vigilant when big corps are adding more and more sensors into…
The technology to reproduce eye movements has been around since motion pictures were invented. I'm sure even a flat video stream of the user's face would leak similar information. Apple should have been more careful…

Ah yes, with a delicious frackuccino.

Sure, but by undershooting you can simply wait until the time is 1:59:26.53589793 to celebrate.
I think the idea is to profit off the generation of it, not the output works themselves.
But one of the lenses isn't a few steps back from the other.
> fictitious nation-state Are you referring to Cascadia? That's a perfectly non-fictional name for the region (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest). Or maybe I missed another reference?

It's still not quite what the experiment is designed to test. How many people who opt out when given the ability would stick around when not given the ability?
I'm struggling to imagine a mental model of the LLM for which that would make sense. A human who's willing to a lie a little, but comes clean when called out? A robot that mostly doesn't make mistakes, and is more…
> women find powerful men attractive You're conflating "is powerful" with "has power over me." The latter can be used for coercion, and it's not always sexy for someone to threaten you.
