I think most people just assume it's magic, and are too awestruck by the hype to think critically. Financially this feels similar to Uber's business plan in the 2010s; undercut the market with unsound pricing propped up by venture

Anyone calling anything an anti-pattern without evidence always sounds to me like 'I don't like how you do this, but I need to find a more cerebral way of describing that so I don't sound like a child.'

I feel like you're giving certain entities too much credit there. Yes text is generated to do _something_, but it may not be to communicate in good-faith; it could be keyword-dense gibberish designed to attract unsuspecting search engi

ChromeOS is a good idea if all they do is surf; security risks are pretty low. iPhones are also fairly safe, but the older they get, the slower they'll get and the more you have to support them. I've had to explain to my dad that

Gah that is frustrating. The replies you're getting are a bit reminiscent of the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" defense of firearms - like, yes that's true, but the gun makes it a lot easier to do.

The story isn't about LLMs doing LLM stuff. It's about lawyers using LLMs as a shortcut for proper legal work, laboring under the delusion that it is entirely accurate, honest and 'intelligent', and the ramifications for

This will be laundered by anti-climate-crisis psychos as 'look how bad solar is for the planet! Better maintain the status quo.'

Of all the questionable things Musk has done in the last few years, trying to sell a stainless steel electric truck doesn't even make the top 25.

Personal liberty arguments and all that aside, this comes across like the NZ government actually wanting people to smoke, so the tax income can fund tax cuts elsewhere. Quite sinister.

My partner and I specifically avoided diamonds (and ultimately all gemstones) for our engagement rings. We went for unobtrusive silver rings, then shelled out for good quality gold wedding rings from a craftsperson we both knew. I think we

I'm honestly at a loss as to why some people (and organizations) are hell-bent on hampering attempts to decarbonize, and amplifying whatever tiny negatives they can whether they're real or not, as though nothing less than 100% per

I've noticed this too, including the increasingly indefensible position that billionaires are somehow inate geniuses and will solve all our problems.

This is the most infuriating attitude, and the reason you can't reason cryptobros out of their delusion.

These are the guys making the actual money. A few mil in VC is fun but will only get you so far; finding a boring, useful niche to sit in and supply a market long-term is so underrated these days.

The interesting difference here is the emotions involved in the marketing and public perception; crypto was largely about hope, NFTs were greed and a quick buck, AI seems to be a mix of embracing the future and fear of the future. Almost al

There are legitimate and serious concerns about AGI as a concept, but I agree with you. Even earlier in the year, each time a new GPT model came out, people on here predicted the end of the world with increasingly manic fervour. Not done wi

This post reads like a cry for help. I don't really know what they're arguing for. Sure the broad-strokes 'microservices bad monolith good' is something I can get behind in some cases, but the slightly unhinged tirades a

They argue that Node tricks frontenders into thinking they can do server-side, then says they 'huff and puff' when this is pointed out to them. It's an incredibly patronizing argument to make.

Maybe, but people have learned to value their lives outside of work more than they once did; spending time with family and living outside of a big city (if that's what you want) is a huge draw for people like me. Sample size of one, bu

The reason I find it interesting as a prompt is precisely that; it's a statement where the statement and the subject of the statement are the same thing. A human can easily make that logical jump, but without being told how to do that
