That's hilarious given that this entire site here is using the term unironically to refer to people in general, good stuff

Yeah, that was what I was refering to, no the specific part of the article. I've seen it much more here recently. Kind of disgusting and sad, but on the other hand it's good if people show their real face that way.

Is there a way back to calling human beings human beings and not "meat"? Or is the sociopathic Jeffrey Dahmer undertone now the new normal?

The internet was a mistake anyway, they should just ban it completely and be done with it.

I really appreciate this series of posts, as it serves as a good summary of key points of the discourse around AIs, and links to the relevant articles etc. I find following all those discussions myself exhausting, so if I can find this all

Personally as a lover of public libraries, which to me have always been places to discover old and new books in a quiet atmosphere, this change of the "library" to some sort of community center is rather annoying. You usually end

Not sure how that changes the fact that you can filter by date range in searches where you don't actually need anything recent?

LLM or not, this is just terrible kitsch.

Which is also a good filter for web searches to exclude a lot of garbage results (if the specific search makes sense for non-recent results)

This whole mission was amazing, and the most positive and hopeful thing I have seen as a global event in the last 5 years at least. Bravo and cheers to everyone involved :)

A slightly more controversial, but equally effective solution would be to glue an angry toddler to your handlebar.

This. For those more into reading instead of straight to therapy, Barbara Sher's "Refuse to Choose!" book about living with a multitude of interests can be a good starting point. Also, making (or maybe tuning) a chess engine

For some searches I've started to limit the date range to pre 2023. That drastically improves search results (DDG, but I imagine Google as well). As long as you're looking for more long term information/posts ofc.

This post reminded me of Bjarne Stroustrup's famous quote "There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people complain about and those nobody uses".

Getting rushed by a 3rd party into doing sth one would do more carefully normally is probably a good tell that it's a social engineering attempt.

Yeah, plausible - I come from a very small state in the south that never had a nuclear plant (hint hint), and as the books read in school are chosen by the state, it probably wasn't a priority. I have never come across it outside of sc

I'm German, born in the early 80s, and I've never heard of that book, tbh. Obviously the Anti-nuclear movement has been extremely strong in Germany following Chernobyl, but this thing must have been somehow confined to certain cir

When I see AI images, I skip them, and most likely, the entire article. They're a better warning sign than the ones hidden in the text.

AI will become this colleague who sucks at everything, but never says no, so he becomes the favorite go-to person.

Let's also be honest, the social democrats are backing this as well.

One of the side effects of AI is definitely that a lot of people have way too much time at their hands which they can now invest in pointless community drama.

Rather than a rewind to the past, this is ironically exactly the web I've come to loathe, where you have to waste unpredictable amounts of time to jump through hoops of interactive nonsense to get a tiny bit of information from some ov
