Dragonai··on Professor Mark Riedl poisons Google's LLM-backed search
Just wanted to drop a quick comment to say Dr. Riedl was one of my favorite professors when I was at Georgia Tech. His Intro to Artificial Intelligence course was super fun and comprehensive and he's got exactly the right personality for it.
Dragonai··on Ask HN: Happy 404 Day. Whats your favorite 404 error page?

Dragonai··on Southwest cancels 5,400 flights in less than 48 hours
You bagging the username "airtag" just to share this comment is so funny.

I think this is a great idea though and I didn't even think about "bring me back to my bag" - that's awesome :)

Dragonai··on Make-A-Video: AI system that generates videos from text
> It's scary to think about it but seems plausible—like if someone can make an app with Tiktok-like ubiquity of only AI content. Although to your point I imagine there will be so much nonsensical noise that curating will become a useful skill, it is today but even more so.

This just gave me a disturbingly vivid vision of exactly what you described. A seemingly likely future where everyone's in their homes scrolling endlessly on a TikTok-like app where there's literally infinite content being generated by the AI all the time, and as people like and dislike certain types of content, the AI just gets better and better at generating new videos...this is honestly kind of terrifying. I have no doubt this will exist one day, and that it'll print money for one company while billions of people are spending all their free time consuming it.

Dragonai··on Diet Coke probably isn't a cognitive performance enhancer
Stains from diet soda are also way easier to completely clean up due to the lack of sugar! I've seen Diet Coke/Coke Zero stains vanish from light-colored clothing within minutes.

I can't stop laughing at all the examples.
Dragonai··on Are you a baby? A litmus test
> I went through a phase of tongue-in-cheek "quantum planning", wherin I would give my friends a percentage on any plan I was invited to. So if I was asked to dinner I might just say "60%". Needless to say this didn't go down very well with people.

This is hilarious. I do think it's generally a good idea to communicate hesitation or any degree of unwillingness, I'm just laughing at how you convey it with this approach.
