Oh, certainly LLMs are here to stay. Hopefully, they become conmoditised very quickly. But also, hopefully, the bubble bursts quickly too. Shoehorning AI into everything is dogshit. Actually using it for select reasons, where it is successful, should be great.

Already we have things like customer support phone trees that try to get rid of user interaction with scripts. AI here could be great to improve them. What’s more likely is as the tech improves, more companies use AI rather than peioke for customer support, lol. Its dystopian.

The difference, of course, is the belt sander is not purporting to be able to screw fasten. Nor will it with a future update or subscription.

Yes, but for the average user, if it confidently gives misinformation, then its worse than a search engine. It is removing the verification step of reading the source, seospam aside. The whole business model is on using it more, not selectively.

One thing the article leaves out is the costs of processing should go down over time. Hopefully, as power transitions,.it also becomes more sustainable. However, it starts to become a bit like uber and self driving cars. How long can they burn through other peoples money to undercut competitions until the actual plan becomes profitable.

But if any research source cannot be used without verification, is it really useful? I agree, we should verfiy crucial information but when its wrong often, but confidently so, using natural language is a barrier not a benefit.

Because when ghosted, some people catastrophise. If it happens a lot they start to worry about what might be wrong with them. Our brains aren’t wired for it.

So, yes, sometimes a polite lie is better than nothing. Sometimes a polite lie is better than the truth. Its not you, its me.

Closure. People lie in real life too, not just on the internet.

Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.

Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.

On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.

Which makes them even less of an authority.

I think some have said the start of resident evil village is quite scary on vr, but I havnt played it. Probably less so if you’ve already played it. There are a bunch of junonscare games but they interest me less.

I found the batman vr game on psvr scariest. It wasnt that scary a premise, but because of the immersion, it was extra. You knew joker was in a cell and you had to Kean in to see. Although you knew he would get you, you had no choice. You had to physically force yourself to be attacked bybsteppibg forwards.

Similarly, the jumping off a cliff to commit suicide in suoerhot vr was quite confronting and scary. I think they edited it out.

As a concerted effort to minimise misinformation, or as a planned effort in conjunction with bad actors, to move the misinformation elsewhere and make it look like they tried?

Yes, definitely. But important to not have annidealised view of outcomes either. Realistic goals and expectations in real life as in gaming.

We have strata, or group ownership of the land and structure of a housing complex. Each owner owns what’s inside the walls of their apartment but the strata owns rye rest and is jointly owned by all owners. Each pays a fee to cover maintenance, upkeep and a sinking fund for major repairs. It works pretty well, for the most part.

However there is quite an administrative burden and many homeowners dont want the hassle of doing the admin so the busybodies tend to do it and overstep their boundaries often. Many use an external company to manage it. The biggest company was just in the need today as it was fsvouring its own insurance product for all the buildings it manages. Conflict of interest for profit isn’t quite the joint ownership plan strata envisions.

Again referring to westerners as a block without nuance, while thinking you understand nuance while westerners dont. Of course context is important. In context your comments are I’ll informed and insulting, while condescending without the understanding to have such grounds.

Yes, race is a construct, as I pointed out. Ethnicity is too, more by definition. China also has xenophobia and racism. Ask Tibet. Ask the Uighurs. Han Chinese is not the ibky Chinese. Ask Taiwan or hong Kong nationals. That’s not news to anyone.

Your reply doesnt add anything useful, so well leave it there.

Is the Wikipedia definition wrong then? You should have it edited.

“Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Your pedantry is both boring and incorrect. The origin of the word involves race, but its usage extends beyond that. Language evolves. As does our scientific understanding of what constitutes race and ethnicity and its all more social construct than anything well defined.

Irish people who still experience racism in the UK would disagree.

As a pixel owner, none of the exclusives seem part of android. It’s been stuff like camera effects, which I associate more with apps. As someone who loved nexus and wished pixels were more like that, I’m disappointed too with the proliferation of play services apis. However, I don’t mind that pixels are competitive, as I think it fosters innovation. If pixels were like nexus, and just a pure android experience, there would be nothing new in the last few generations. Phone OS innovation has plateaued.

It says debarred. So, they will undo the barring?!
