Developer: Wow, that's awesome, anatomy is now solved. Doctors: I have trouble even starting to describe how not even wrong the slop generated organs are, and how dangerous would it be for someone to learn on this thing.

I love it! Can we have "print to kindle" now? Just open pdf on mac, hit print, grab a kindle and there it is (yes, I know, we can do send to kindle, and some time later, when Jeff Bezos allows so, the doc might appear).

I’ve been playing with this too, the OP is rediscovering the whole field of AI before LLMs. Prolog, temporal logic … The next one is ontology and semantic web, for which the “trying to stem verbs and nouns” is a crude v0.1 attempt.

Whole Europe does this. I never understood why whole nation wants to live in debt just to have one extra month of cash flow (which they’ll probably squander soon).

No, that is 2 years ago era. Now it’s “native apps for 5 platforms done almost for free” era for anyone who cares. See Meta’s new AI desktop app (no, I won’t install anything from Zuck on my computer, but I appreciate what they did).

Thank you for this report - I tried leaving gmail 2 years ago and returned quickly exactly because of this. Sad to hear the situation remains unchanged. Meanwhile, on my other account, I have hacked together a basic email classification wit

I had a hard time understanding why didn’t AMD make a better developer experience for this two years ago, and am now even more baffled that even with all the LLMs they still don’t seem to have moved a single inch, despite this probably bein

At this point China probably has a botnet that can be turned on with a few deploys, and spans a majority of homes in US and RU (and thus is unblockable without disconnecting half of voters from the internet). Ready to attack the infrastruct
