Remember learning about this from the crossover with fake "bowling alley animations" like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q6MQwsJCA4

Sure, but for me there isn't anything fundamentally different between a LLM reply and a spammers reply / SEO-vomit. Both are low quality useless junk that gives the masquerade of resembling something worth engaging with.

In fact the really bad spammers were already re-using prompts/templates, think of how many of those recipe novellas shared the same beats. "It was my favorite childhood comfort food", "Cooked with my grandma", blah blah blah

>And you definitely don't get to tell people that your product is just fine, they are wrong for wanting something else.

The original quote does that as well and I only reversed it to give the perspective of increative people :)

Sure, but many people who are bad at art and writing would like AI to make art and writing that's tailored to their tastes and are fine doing laundry and dishes since they're good at that and we have already automated 99% of it with dishwashers and dryers.

To me it says "Look at all this stuff you can do with an ipad now, and in a thinner form factor. It used to take a room full of stuff to do this. Isn't that awesome?".

You might not be angry but you're using pretty malicious language to assign intent to the ad that doesn't seem present to me.

This is interesting to me, do you know any articles about this? I feel when I put off exercise until later in the evening(after 7pm) that I often get poorer quality sleep, but I'd be surprised if working out at 6am vs. lunchtime would make that much a difference.

I mean.. thats the whole job for the manager? Through performance reviews and keeping track of the work their team is doing. If the senior is actually "unblocking projects" then it should be apparent.

Project not making progress => senior gets involved => project making progress. Or senior gets involved and some architecture decision gets changed to alleviate some risk.

If the senior is doing this but its a visibility problem, then it may suck but they also need to self-advocate if the manager isn't proactively keeping track of their team(like they are supposed to be getting paid to).

As someone who runs a small discussion forum its a great way for people who like to spam CSAM, malware, and other stuff I don't want in a way that gets past filters.

I think a conservative estimate of link shorteners usage is that 99% of cases are used by bad actors, and if they would all die out my life would be a lot easier. But, every week it seems some new one pops up and theres a new wave of spam to deal with.

At least thanks to this post I can add a new one to the filters before a wave of spam, so yay?

For who? Certainly not for the person paying.

>their car pays less rent per sqft than they do

This shouldn't be surprising though. Cars don't need heating or cooling or sewage or a roof or ...

Yes, I think I'd be fine weeding out people who can't read a social situation and decide to traumadump to their future coworkers.

In many metro areas crime is higher than it was before COVID. Sure the levels may be decreasing below the 2020 peak levels, but relative to 2019 or earlier its oftentimes still higher.

No industrial revolution also means infant mortality rates of over 46%(in the US at least).

It's also not unique to AI. One person with a tractor can outharvest the amount of corn it used to take a whole village to harvest. This feels just like a dressed up luddite complaint.

Are they not? Most I've seen tend to be sorts of abstract pattern matching things. As opposed to basing IQ on ability to play piano or other traits less prevalent in poor communities.

Obviously nothing is perfect but it seems disingenuous to claim they're not designed for poor people to be able to complete them.

Neat. How translatable are tones of voice for intent across languages? Like does a person trying to do a "nerdy" voice(nasally, whiny, etc.) in English translate to the "nerdy" stereotype for a French speaker. Seems to do very good on whispers which made me wonder what could be next.

Yep, wish there was a good up to date list of every link shortener I could block by default but instead it seems like every day some new one pops up. Probably because the last domain they created got blocked on enough sites and its trivial to write one that is unmoderated and abused by CSAM spammers.

Yep first thing I do when I find a dark default site is try(uselessly usually) to find an option to switch it to light mode.

Only got halfway through this video. While it's interesting I find it exhausting how much he singly focuses on the VC financing. This is a classic case of mismanagement by senior management & overly optimistic decisions by the C level staff. Nobody forced them to take on that funding, and clearly it helped them in early stages to grow their company and outcompete the companies with less funding(subbable, etc.) which he handwaves away.

Honestly this is the reason I generally ignore these types of video essays, the people who make them generally have the most lazy criticisms that always end up pointing to the same boogeymen(VC, capitalism, US, etc.)

> I can always depend on these kinds of articles for the sin of omission. Unrealistic standards for women ... nevermind the standards women have for men.

Yeah, but a charitable interpretation is that this is the female perspective and anxieties on AI porn/relationships/intimacy.

I'm sure there have been articles that focus on the male exploitation(emotionally, economically, etc.) these services do without mentioning the female body image issues they may exacerbate.

How is choosing to take ownership/equity in a company in lieu of cash as compensation inherently immoral? If the complaint is about the compensation structure and not the amount. You'd have to hold some pretty fringe views on ownership in general(re: homes, cars, small businesses etc.) to question that.

>Notepad aim for killing Notepad++ and other complex editors

That seems unlikely when Microsoft is already investing so much in VSCode.

Likely trained on internal code.

That seems rather shortsighted to just assume offices won't reopen instead of actually negotiating a transition to fully remote.

Wouldn't partisans fall under the dogmatists?

Letting your kid or younger relatives use up your mobile data from your locked phone might not be a vulnerability but definitely isn't the expected behavior.

I wouldn't be so sure, that its a user side issue since CORS is handled on the backend. That is in your server config, explicitly allowing https://secure.hulu.com to access https://www.hulu.com as an example.

That said its likely a bug and nothing nefarious. Not to diminish that this is a really severe issue that you should raise to customer support, who likely has ways of cancelling for you.

>The conclusion is drawn, "Actually their job is vital and their self-report is deluded."

The conclusion is drawn because presumably someone thinks they output enough value to continue paying them for their work. That person might be wrong, and maybe some PE firm or consultants will come through and cull the chaff to capture the lost expenses but the person themselves doing the work probably doesn't have the full perspective.

Putting more effort into work doesn't guarantee better results but it certainly could improve the situation for more than 1% of people and to imply otherwise is just as out of touch as a CEO saying "anyone can do it".

It's likely the clickbait title was intentional. Otherwise they could have simply clarified "smart home gadgets".
