Not a unique thought here, but the religious faith that people have in AI is so very clear in posts like this. Not just people with this level of zeal either. Everyone who talks positively about AI does it in the context of the amazing thin

What are the aspects of working on a bus that make it impractical? When I find myself in your position usually I end up realizing I'm self-conscious about people seeing what I'm doing more than I'm concerned about any practic

Maybe if we spent more time learning how to interpret animal emotions than we do building AI to do it for us the title would read vice versa.

True, no argument there. What fascinates me more is why people continue to think we can teach a chatbot how to recognize what's true and give us answers that we can't find for ourselves. At best a chatbot is going to be a tool tha

I mentioned this in one of my other comments but even if AI figures this out where humans can't, I think this will involve coming to the conclusion that there really is an objective, knowable truth at the core of the universe or at lea

Fair enough. I think a lot of people are going to end up blindly trusting AI because its right often enough. But for those who are interested in what it really means to know something, I wonder if this will push people back towards embracin

I might be getting overly philosophical here but I'd say it's because they truly don't know anything at all (as opposed to knowing some things but not others). To be able to say "I don't know" you have to first

Point taken. I wouldn't recommend avoiding anything modern across the board and neither does CS Lewis. And innovation is great but I would guard against assuming that innovation is always positive and a step in the right direction even

I'm assuming you're exaggerating for effect at least a little but with that caveat I couldn't agree more. CS Lewis has a great argument for this in his introduction to Athanasius' On the Incarnation. Paraphrasing his arg

I think pretty soon we will get to the point where there’s some sort of significant boundary at all levels between online and real life because the only way to be sure you’re seeing something real is to be interacting with it in real life.

This is exactly what’s at stake. I heard an artist say one time that he’d rather listen to Bob Dylan miss a note than listen to a song that had all the imperfections engineered out of it.

This has potential to be an amazing resource. Not sold on the infinite scroll that goes in any direction as a useful interface for browsing the images. As other commenters have noted, metadata such as source information would also be useful

I think they mean that the description of the episode should have a list of books (and maybe other resources) that were mentioned in the episode itself.

What’s interesting to me is that (if I understand correctly) they’re using GPT as a source of information to make this claim. Usually you see conclusions like these being drawn from some sort of sociological study. But here they’re just tal

You're not wrong. I'm taking issue with the fact that he's presenting Google and its mission as something objective and above reproach. By doing so he's going above and beyond asking people to align themselves with Googl

I'm not taking issue with him expecting employees to get in line with the mission and methods. I'm saying he should be more frank and transparent about the fact that this is what he's doing instead of acting like Google as an

So… does anyone have any recommendations for some good emulators that we could reasonably expect to see on the app store?

Just out of curiosity: does anyone know why so many of the sponsors listed on bulma.io are casinos and betting sites?

What are the chances that TikTok really gets comprehensively banned in the US? This seems like the kind of thing that would get stuck in a Bermuda triangle of litigation while nothing ever happens.

I was going to mention the same issue. Not sure how the site decides which is the correct answer, especially considering both possible answers were available in the autocomplete selections.

Yeah, maybe my suggestion could've been better stated. I'm not suggesting that you can ignore documentation and other forms of writing that explore paradigms and methodologies. I meant there's only so much you can read before

I've found the best way is to build things over and over again. That may reflect a certain learning style but actually manipulating styles and layouts really helps hammer home the practical aspects of how it works. I also approach writ

I've noticed that high-performing people often develop idiosyncrasies that shape how they do what they do. I wouldn't use McCarthy's rules about semicolons as a general rule for any writer except maybe as an exercise. Constr
