Major companies are using these LLMs on their already hardened software and finding countless thousands of security flaws. Is that all theater too? If not then it's very easy to see how these things are dangerous.

I made an AI video of a picture of me when I was about 2. Had a huge smile on my face in the photo so as a lark I made a 5 second video of me laughing. The look in my mom's eyes when I showed her and the way she grabbed the phone from

Windows 11 LTS is a dream to use. Unfortunately I need 25H2 for dumb gaming reasons so I can't use it. It proves Microsoft can make windows properly they just refuse. When I opened up the old notepad and my add/remove programs was

The problem is they really are the best TVs. I have one sitting next to me that thankfully hasn't been connected to the internet in 5 years. Take the subsidies they give you for being able to spy on you then don't let them spy on

These companies are going too far too fast like we always do as humans, and I agree the negatives aren't going to be pleasant. But there are industries and products out there that we all use currently that have way worse externalities

There was a whole gaggle of people who refused to get it for that and a few other "user friendliness" reasons. And I completely understand it. >Across all groups of users, taking too long to download pages (i.e. "speed&quo

You can also find something uninteresting without brow-beating people about it. Goes both ways. Just giving my experience with it, take it or leave it. The comment I was replying to seemed to wonder why people didn't understand non-eng

Personally I generally agree with guardrails for regular consumers. The kind of people who don't want to do things like go into developer options and enable "unsafe" options usually should be protected against installing a ra

I just find it such a fascinating technology. It's finally fun to be a nerd again! For me it's the same feeling as when I was on the internet in the early '90s and was trying to tell people how useful it would be. I don'

Humans adapt to change oddly fast. If you saw that video in 2022 you'd be 100% positive you were watching a sci-fi movie.

You can still install your own apps and in my case your own operating system (graphene). The 24 hour wait to activate sideloads indefinitely seems like a non-issue to me. https://support.google.com/android/answer/1

You have to bake the 'lazy dev'/'keep it simple stupid' mentality into your AGENTS.md and / or the skills you're using to design things. It will take things too literally sometimes so you also have to make

That was nowhere near what chrome does. This is why I have trouble taking Firefox haters seriously. A 1 time thing that they the haven't done again. Installed an add on that was never enabled or did anything at all unless you went thro

At the same time if it significantly hinders you in everyday life it's nice to have a way to break free of it. I can't take most ADHD medications due to unrelated issues and it's such a shame after hearing / witnessing f

Strange take. If it's normal to spend 12 hours not eating staring at a screen trying to solve 1 problem and completely oblivious to the outside world then I guess I don't know many normal people.

I highly suggest you read about the subject. This isn't the fringe science you're implying. It's a big reason I was diagnosed by my doctor. And it's often treated quite well by taking ADHD medications. “While the est

As odd as it sounds this is correct. Hyper focus is a huge problem with ADHD. You forget to eat and get worse sleep because you're so focused on 1 problem. This often means that you pay attention to nothing else around you or what&#x27

Agreed. All I can say is the conversations I have with AI and the things it's able to do for me are more useful than most any human I've come across. Whether that's 'intelligence' or not is a moot point to me. Consc

I wonder if you went back before we had any idea how the brain worked and talked to the smartest people about how neurons work (without giving away that it's a human brain) then asked them all "would such a system be intelligent?&

I always wonder why people generalize AI writing like this. If it's giving you responses like this that you don't like it's as simple as prompting it to give more succinct answers that aren't full of jargon and abstract

And not really hard to find examples of humans reading text being way more consequential than that. See: the Bible, nazi propaganda, etc.

So I think you disagree with the UN's analysis of things. That's different than the UN doing nothing to address what you're talking about. They say it should be treated as a medical necessity (which is strong wording) when ne

It's the vocal minority that will care if AI is in a game as well. So long as the game is fun very few people will even have the ability to know let alone care.
