I used Whisky with M1 and M3 Macbooks. It certainly helped me run games much faster than a $300 Windows laptop ever could.

But we moved beyond LLMs? We have models that handle text, image, audio, and video all at once. We have models that can sense the tone of your voice and respond accordingly. Whether you define any of this as "intelligence" or not

There is no indication they haven't read the article. This product, much like iMessage and others, provides an inferior experience to non-Apple users. It aims to make other devices and operating systems look less capable and cheap. iMe

I'm not sure the best way to change minds is using a facetious tone and quoting meticulously-crafted numbers from a right-wing think tank. Billionaires get richer through asset appreciation, not income. The White House report is focusi

> the US state apparatus answered to the media and the public, as is their duty. No, the state feeds the media what it wants to see reported. They can share what they want and they can hide what they want from the media.

It doesn't matter because it's tiny. The inequality between a Google engineer and a Starbucks barista is tiny compared to the inequality between a Google engineer and Elon Musk. The article only covers the former and not the latte

The question isn't whether genocides are acceptable. The question here is whether you can build a chatbot free from politics. There was a time when slavery was considered acceptable and women not being able to vote was considered accep

It's a term that describes how people feel to pressure to conform to a certain popular view and they are hesitant of speaking their opinions. Depending on the context, they might be worried about being excluded from a social group, los
