Until we properly integrate LLM into culture, people can always test by making off-color remarks that trip up commercial LLM filters. Or by asking strangely off-topic questions. There are quirks that we can use to spot them.

I've had it happen on both Apple Music and Spotify. Given my 40h+ master playlist, I tend to notice it. I always have a few gray holes. As for replacements, my understanding is that they are often due to the better royalties on origina

Haiku has by now surpassed BeOS in style and substance. It's actually a fairly usable OS at this point, thanks to the addition of some Linux drivers and the porting of WebKit. I'd call it suitable for kids or grandparents. No viru

I'd find it interesting to ask the opponents of E2E encryption what their feelings are on cash. Cash is also an untraceable form of interaction. Yes, cash is a medium of exchange for drugs and sex crimes, but it is also a bulwark again

The intent was clear. The only reason someone makes a video like that is to push puritanical filtering. I expect searching for beach might include shirtless men, and that's okay. Whether you see them as sexual or not depends more on yo

I really hate gotcha videos like that, but I'm sure it was effective. So will they now move into the skimpy, ill-proportioned bathing suit era? Sexuality will always express itself somehow.

Handcoding/server-generation HTML running CSS via SCSS with no frameworks is a truly fulfilling experience. Especially if I get to mix in some SVG. I'm one of the few that outright hates JS, so I'm always glad when I get a ch

Satire and opinion manages to express itself even in the UK. Give the show "Have I Got News for You" a watch before you assume that freedom of expression is completely dead there. That being said, I'm sure it's tough to

I've spent $20 on British-made hand polished plastic combs, but that's my limit. Worth it for comb snobs like me. I suppose everyone has different standards for luxury.

Since avocado is practically vegetable butter, it's more of a flavor complement than a flavor itself.

That's certainly a bizarre perspective. Given the competition from developing nations and the advancements in machine vision and robotics, betting on manual labor seems seriously shortsighted. The trades are valuable skilled labor that

The risk of poisoned content puts this squarely in the domain of our ancestor's storytelling history. This won't be admissible in a court of law, but it'll be a piece of our pre-LLM past occasionally flavored by the storytell

Does Nadella aspire to be the Alphabet CEO? Doesn't he know that the cracks are already forming in that goldmine strategy?

S mode already exists, and it's ideal for implementing this pure remote Microsoft centric vision. The rent-seeking has to stop.

Microsoft has too many new UX designers and too many new marketing schemes to inflict. They know how to reinvent, but refinement seems to elude them.

The same would be true of those who enjoy gaming or own cryptocurrency. At its best, we're talking about a sort of tribalism. Human psychology is complex, and our relationship with alcohol isn't completely unhealthy.

There's no doubt that Microsoft is going to stuff ads in every corner of the OS at this point. Ads on the start menu, in Edge, in Solitaire, and now the replacement for Outlook Express. I don't think the good-bad-good cycle will h

Too many dev commenters will hand-wave away complaints about graphics work on Linux. Bitmap and vector graphics are terrible, and I have tried the options. RAW photo editing is mediocre. Font rendering and color management has always been b

I wouldn't use them. Is there any chance at all that those don't have an NSA backdoor? I think most hardware encryption just XOR's on the phrase "We're the government. It's for your own good."

Police will always need some SWAT and borderline military teams. The question is whether the average street cop needs to be weapon-wielding law enforcement, and I suggest the answer is no. The danger level goes down when it's known tha

The even more terrifying part is that they are recreated when we remember. Ask me why I don't value eyewitness testimony.

It needs proper hosting and scripting. There's nothing more convincing than a personalized message naming the target of the correction. Joke domains are always best when they're taken much too far.

Did you get AppleCare+ on it? That could guarantee you a new screen every year until the problem is resolved.

I rather wish we'd accept that humans have rough edges. Murder mysteries are good fun because they involve murder. Same goes for gruesome horror. Looking at naked people can be pleasant. We are all on some level unrestrained and viciou

Possibly. Security has made internet enabled accounts outright user hostile. Try helping a 70 year old guy get into his Gmail again. I despair over the disrespect Google and the other major internet corps show their tech-naive users. I&#x27

I've been wondering the same thing. It's possible that older pre-LLM data sources may become indispensable for training. It would be both amusing and disturbing to see older Usenet, Slashdot, and Reddit conversations turned into

It's fine if he voted against it. But a donation disqualifies him from that position if for no other reason than it's distracting from Mozilla's purpose. Whether good or bad, the foundation has a strong human rights focus. Ge

CTO would've been appropriate, but not CEO. Mozilla could not keep a CEO donating to ban gay marriage. I rather doubt even Microsoft would've kept him. It's divisive and distracting, especially for a public benefit organizati

Nah, toxicity is targeting a non-public figure for abuse or committing doxing. Toxicity is advocating for violence or other crime. It's a replying to a post with targeted insults rather than reasoned disagreement. It's racism and

Wouldn't that qualify as a crime already? That sounds like fraud to me.
