I would say 99 percent of people who use computers could not even really identify what it is these dot agents do

try speaking from your own perspective instead of assuming a universal one. your opinions, however unhinged, will come off as more genuine.

this kind of comment is charting fast for most annoying low effort response

kind of sounds like even you don't know what you want

strange to me that "lofi" has graduated from low fidelity to AI generated downtempo music, which I assume (like the art) is based on the work of real artists.

smooth as butter on 152 in windows 10, as long as we're all reporting

i assume this matter was discussed

I hadn't heard of the uncharted, sounds like it's closer to a C-HR electric than anything else? not that there's anything wrong with that. I love subes and drive an old one but they have a certain vibe that I wonder if the Toyota collab takes away.

all kind of academic since I'm planning on getting a slate but it's nice to know Subaru is bouncing back from that Solterra disaster.

the slate truck is about as close as we'll get to that.

really we should be giving credit to hammurabi for developing the idea of laws in the first place. where would deblasio be without him??

non tech people will never hear about it haha, and if they did they'd be ten times as baffled as the others in this thread

interesting. this will no doubt produce some fascinating new lines of inquiry but as with most neuroscience stuff entering the mainstream, be wary of pretty much all takes and repurposing of this new info into some preexisting narrative about the nature of decisionmaking or consciousness, why the 'lizard brain' drives our desires, etc etc.

feels like brain and quantum science, being as they are so rudimentary yet evocative, are especially vulnerable to popular distortion. be safe out there

that's not the main point of the article

that's not even the topic of the article

that refers to a post from 2025 that he links to. this is clear from the first sentence of the article. I suspect maybe you didn't actually read the article and spent more time writing this erroneous comment than you might have reading the article.

the intent of the painting does not come from the person who made the brush.

I think you should revisit your understanding of intentionality in this context

yep although I don't think it sounds too intrusive. it comes out as theeyactual while the alternative would the thuh.Actual with a sort of micro-accent on the A. I'm sure linguists have names for all these things, like when the movements of the tongue and mouth incidentally form phonemes!

I do this too - "thee actual" vs "thuh real" and such. I do expect it's to do with having a vowel sound of a certain kind at the beginning of the next work making you move your tongue in a certain way.

don't worry too much. english is such a muddled tongue to begin with that there are many ways of saying something "correctly" and few if any of us know them all. anyone who quibbles over some fine verbal point is probably not someone whose opinion you should value!

that said I know in business communication this kind of thing can be less forgiving. i will say that grammar and syntax checking for non native speakers is one of the few very beneficial applications of LLMs.

AI can't critique because it has no critical faculty. It can only offer critique-shaped language. That may be useful for some, though.

I don't think that comparison is quite apropos

I think it's more of a Chicken Little situation. Then the wolf ate us all up.

that's certainly fair - it doesn't necessarily follow. her specifically, being an expert before and having spent time as chair though, does tell me she is on target here.

it's been around. I more commonly see it as "been a minute!" when you see someone you haven't seen in a good while.

what an interesting acquisition. I was the one who wrote them up originally for TC: https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/22/glass-rethinks-the-smartph...

they had a really cool optical approach that I kind of felt immediately was doomed in the consumer market but would likely find a cool, valuable niche. The unique distortion patterns and front element I felt probably ruled out cinema but beyond that I had no idea. looks like they pivoted at some point but their expertise in lens accommodation does seem like it could be helpful.

Interesting to me that three different people have responded with the same "I'm also aphantasic and dream normally" start to their message.

She is a former FTC Chair so she knows what she's talking about, although her approach to enforcement was more expansive than others. The FTC would investigate, likely along the lines she summarizes, build a case in writing, and refer it to the Justice Dept, which would actually prosecute the case. Not going to happen under this administration, but Khan is saying it's entirely possible that such an enforcement action could be brought to bear, now or later. Personally I hope she gets her job back at some point and does it herself.

I personally use the swiping keyboard on ios and it seems to detect the wrong word with an almost malicious frequency. It also randomly Capitalizes things.

throwaway bigot account

yeah, I do this too. minimize the fuzz and the skin itself improves the overall flavor in my opinion.

I appreciate this sentiment and I'll add that, as a writer, I've encountered and experienced it myself and among creative friends.

The notion that a model can produce text, or images, that resemble our output is certainly dispiriting in some ways. But it also is empowering when you realize that what you create, and the way you feel when you do it, is independent of that.

I don't write to put machines in their place - I do it because I like it, and because I want to manifest my ideas in a way that is uniquely my own. I don't really care that a machine may produce a book. That book simply has no value to me and I hope that over time, as the novelty of this form of semantic reproduction wears off, others will share that estimation.
