In my extensive travel experience, more than half the time the boarding time listed at the gate isn't even correct.

You're right. And it's also important to be mindful that the LLMs can also translate between human intent and formal queries incorrectly, so they still shouldn't be fully trusted even when integrated with a more deterministic

Yeah, really dumb move on the part of Chase bank. They'd previously marketed their accounts as being geared towards international travelers, but now their cards can't be used in much of the world.

US "freedom" is more propaganda than reality, and that's becoming more and more apparent.

I'm very skeptical of using AI in this way. I've given Claude access to calendars and travel plans and asked it to do similar analytical tasks cross referencing documents that would take days for me to do manually. Since it was ab

It would be really interesting if we find out that a simple 10 minute daily massage of the lymph nodes in the neck significantly prevents Alzheimer's.

This has been my experience with almost everything I've tried to create with generative AI, from apps and websites, to photos and videos, to text and even simple sentences. At first glance, it looks impressive, but as soon as you look

And in Europe and in Asia. Last time I was in the US, Tesla looked like a scam.

Like many other "masculine culture" things, the propaganda sold to men about what's masculine doesn't necessarily have a connection to reality.

In layman's terms, this seems to mean that given a certain unedited LLM output, plus complete information about the LLM, they can determine what prompt was used to create the output. Except that in practice this works almost never. Am

Ad-hoc blocking of bad actors is bound to be an endless futile game of wack a mole. The way I see things going, the internet is continuing to move away from an open web and into walled gardens. Those with resources will create large walled

Thank you for sharing this! I read The Body Keeps the Score about 10 years ago after experiencing a particularly traumatic event. I had been searching for answers at the time for how to heal from the event, and someone recommended the book

My ChatGPT doesn't have a three dots menu on iOS or macOS.

Based on the marketing page and App Store page, I can't really tell what sets this apart from ChatGPT. It looks like essentially the same thing, with a slightly different UI. What features does it have that add value over ChatGPT?

That would be a great idea if I were on vacation in a cabin in the woods. But realistically, I need my phone for just about everything I do on a daily basis, from payments, to navigation, to communicating with friends and family, and loggin

I hate that both this kind of machine learning applied to scientific research and consumer focused LLMs are both called "AI", that neither is "intelligent" and that consumers don't know the difference.

Anyone who's been paying attention to AI probably already has an intuition that this is the whole purpose of companies like OpenAI.

Presumably not if you don't give your bank account credentials to Comet. I'd be extremely cautious about which credentials Comet gets access to. Basically only accounts that aren't tied to anything vital.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that "knowing" has anything to do with the output of ChatGPT. It gives you the statistically most likely output based on its training data. It's not checking some sort of internal knowl

Another related rule: never commit code to the main branch that hasn't been read by at least two humans.
