It would be nice if we were somehow able to switch AIs on our local systems, ie., replace the Apple "brain" with some other "brain". I doubt we will be able to do that, but it would be nice.

Well, I was thinking more like photos of the dog, but Germany, you crazy.

Some of y'all are from countries that are in great turmoil. Which is partly or mostly our fault. Maybe we could concentrate on doing less of that.

How would that even work? Park tanks on Wall Street and point them at stockbrokers?

I think I can understand the reasoning behind most of those rules, but the prohibition against AI translation of papers not in English is a bit puzzling. Do they expect students to do their own translations in all cases?

OpenWouter does not strike me as being a customer-forward kind of service. Basically, it's a deal-with-it kind of thing, I guess.

I thought that was just me being an idiot. Also, least-rewarding link ever.

Why not symlink AGENTS.md to CLAUD.md?

This completely fails to address one of the issues that people have with Github, which is the use of AI, whether you like it or not.

I recently bought an e-bike for running errands and so on (I do not own a car). I got it put together, hefted it outside (it weighs rather more than I expected), fired it up and rode 10 yards. It's a moped-style bicycle that rides like

There needs to be some sort of safeguard to prevent people from abusing this and running queries to do something an owner objects to. I'd feel horrible if I discovered that someone used my AI to figure out how to kill someone. Another

I had that one time. I was kind of ill at the time and it lasted about an hour. That is some freaky shit if you don't know what is going on. My continuing thought was "Is this going to last forever?"

> It doesn’t sound right to me, I mean a culture can’t be so totally obsessed with the self. One of our (the US) early political mottoes is "Don't Tread On Me" and it has a flag. And, yes, we can be and to varying degrees,

I wish that e-bike ads had the classification. The bike classes are well-defined AFAIK - it's the class legality that's regional, if any. Right now, they're actively helping riders skirt/evade the laws.

So, the actual Sir Michael Caine has not given approval for the use of his voice? Seeing as how he's not dead yet, don't you think that it might be a good idea to ask if that is an allowable use of his voice?

Then maybe we shouldn't be applying AI to jobs where forgiveness and forgetfulness are useful. We keep trying to completely replace humans in all situations and this is not helpful.

Why is your data stored on their server where they have access to it at any time for any purpose they choose? For that, they should be paying you, no the other way around.

I kind of wish there was a way to flip the script on the companies that gave up on humans and tried to switch to AI. Make them suffer for their idiocy in the same way that workers suffered or continue to suffer. If that makes me a bad perso

At some point, it's just keeping score. Elon Musk doesn't need to be a trillionaire, he wants to be one. None of the world's billionaires need to be that rich, they are just competing against each other.
