Is it just me or does this paper read like it was run through ChatGPT? Kind of ironic if true.

If I recall correctly, Windows isn’t very user-friendly either.

My take as a current uni student. This is all absolutely true. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t use chat. Some people use it as a personal tutor, most use it as a shortcut to finish assignments. Regardless, everyone is using it. LLM’s

Trump's proposed executive order just gives TikTok more time "so that a deal could be made." Honestly I don't understand how TikTok is able to restore service now before the executive order or even the inaugaration has o

Yeah social media has gotten very predatory, especially since short form content blew up due to TikTok. I’ll have chats with people that are just an exchange of instagram reels and reactions. HN is my only form of social media now on my pho

The FOMO is to get you to download the app, make an account, and deter you from uninstalling. The real game is to keep you on the platform when you compulsively open it. You go in to check in on your second cousins, you stay to scroll throu

A game that is overrun by cheaters makes it less fun to regular players. If regular players don’t want to play your game, it ends up being a hacker circle jerk before the servers stop getting consistent players at which point the game is de

You don’t even need self driving cars for cabin surveillance. Modern cars are already being equipped with data harvesting suites and selling your data. What’s one step further for 24/7 audio video surveillance?

Copilot comes free for students through GitHubs student developer pack[0]. I’ve gotten to try it out and I’ve found it to just be a great cheating tool in my classes. Most assignments done by students are basic problems that have been solve

Unless your current OS is interfering with the productivity or utility of your machine, I see no practical reason to switch.

Been using this for a while on my 2018 iPad Pro for college. I just SSH into my pc at home and am able to work on all my assignments with neovim. Works well enough to save me from having to buy a laptop since I was able to get this iPad for

This assumes that AI will continue to improve at the same pace. GPT3 released November 2022 and yes, there have been staggering improvements since then. My intuition is that we’re beginning to reach the bounds of what we can do with LLMs. A

I love my Volkswagen Golf wagen. It’s a 2019 and apart the last generation made available in the US. It has all the essentials without the pointless gimmicks or “quirks” of modern cars, it’s the kind of slow car that’s fun to drive fast (6

I genuinely do not see the point you’re trying to make. Is it that pollution == lower birth rate? I’d imagine there are many factors besides pollution that may influence why certain regions have more birth rates than others.

There are 100 things I could put on a list of potential causes for the mental illness epidemic. “Overcrowding and fighting over limited resources” would not be on that list.

We just can’t stop developing methods of hijacking our brains… it’s the holy grail of business. All we can do is try our best to recognize it, avoid it, and keep kids away from it.

I imagine if you’re ok with exploiting desperate gamblers for profits you’re also probably fine with bribing whoever to maintain those profits. Money is a helluva drug
