Perhaps he is actually lamenting being the out of touch kung fu master, but his pride won't allow him to articulate the ways in which he identifies with that?

I’ve had this question on my mind at least once a month for what feels like years at this point. I don’t feel like monitoring Twitter to see how it’s going though.

Interestingly your cynicism does not seem to account for OP? I actually found my setting was enabled today when I know it was disabled before, so I’m inclined to agree with OP. I just think it was worth mentioning that there are other cynic

Why carry a phone at all? Just buy one and leave it at all the places you go. Have your personal security carry a backup in case you go somewhere your assistant hasn’t been able to get a phone delivered to yet.

The thought has crossed my mind. Not necessarily to imply sentience on the part of the AI but AI based tools will likely become a wickedly powerful tool for political manipulation and advertising. At this point it’s inevitable that openclaw

No but it’s on my radar now, thanks. Apparently it’s got some appreciation from the MST3K folks too. https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project_(...

Just wait till self improving AI are focused on the problems of social scoring and political party empowerment / entrenchment. I doubt the focus is OpenAI and Anthropic looking at each other. I suspect they’re racing BRIC.

Teaching someone to recognize astroturfing is about as evil as teaching them to recognize bad kerning (insert relevant xkcd). You’ll destroy their blissful ignorance forever.

Isn’t the stateless nature of chat models a contrived method for scalability? I’m pretty sure that’s why so many in-the-know people have been saying we have achieved AGI already. Not just sama’s contract-breaking tactics of late. I’m referr

I am not a biologist so I cannot say this authoritatively, but I’m fairly certain that’s not how neuroplasticity works.

Ubisoft didn’t make either iteration of MW2. That was activision. But a year after that bullshit, then Ubisoft started pushing the always-online requirement for even single player games like assassins creed. Maybe you were thinking of that?

I read this article and the subtext in my head is “I pointed Claude at my ten year old code in a sandbox and it couldn’t handle adding the features I wanted. So for v3 I will make it better for agentic development.” I’ve become so cynical t

I wonder if romance novels being such a large bulk of modern fiction had any influence on this. Proportion of training data must influence model performance in some way, right? https://shelflovepodcast.substack.com/p/ac

Don't you remember how they recovered from this after 2008? That's when they started selling "family size" options that are bigger, but with a not-so-obvious price increase where you can't really tell if it's m

Yep there are links as far back as 11 years ago posted here. But I’m saying why suddenly in four days is this GitHub profile linked in lots of front page threads? Is it just that one thread brought attention and several people are slowly di

Almost nothing from this GitHub profile posted until the last four days. From a meta perspective what is going on? What am I missing? Why is this GitHub profile suddenly getting massive attention and making front page so frequently?

Were you chasing the feeling of successfully solving a problem? Have you replaced problem solving with LLM chats? Maybe instead of engineering, you’ve been subtly shifted into project management and hate that career. But it’s tough to engin

I did the remote thing before Covid and rejected it for many of the same reasons. Then Covid happened and so many people got to experience it and loved it. But I still hated it while I was forced to. Every time I told anyone that I personal
