Data analysis is not a "random prediction". Calling it that does not make it so.

Do you have any evidence or analysis of this beyond your comment calling it fake? Do you honestly believe getting rid of disease prevention and treatment for children will not result in a single death? Do you have any evidence it was a "slush fund" and not actually being used for disease prevention and treatment? Do you honestly believe that people upset over children dying are lying, and instead are all upset that they are no longer able to access a supposed "slush fund"?

Saying something is false does not magically make it so.

Do you have an actual rebuttal to the data?

It makes sense that people who don't believe the (current wave of generative) AI hype aren't using it and those who do are.

I worked at a Pizza Hut in college that had one that washed a full load of dishes in just a few minutes. I'm blanking on the exact time, but I'm almost certain it was under 10 minutes. It got extremely hot, so it probably wouldn't work for a lot of dishes people have at home, but it was very efficient! We saved at least a few hours of labor a day from it, and an unquantifiable amount of sanity.

It wasn't designed like a normal home dishwasher, it was open on all sides and you would slide a rack of dishes under the top part of it, pull a lever, and the dishwasher walls would come down around it and start the washing.

I completely disagree, unless this was sarcastic.

> Increasingly, we seem to provide solutions in search of a problem, or worse, substitutes for much healthier activities.

LLMs (and generative AI in general) are probably the most egregious and prominent examples of this, IMO.

If we get people somehow managing to toss Waymos into rivers, I think we've got bigger problems...

I think the key difference is they can just easily ban you from the service if you damage the vehicle, and every ride is tied to your account from the beginning. Those things can always happen in Uber/Lyft, but I imagine the fees you can receive and the risk of being banned completely keeps it under control.

And somehow doesn't apply to actual criminals like his cronies, supporters, or himself, despite being found guilty of 34 felonies.

How is this a no brainer? How many of their faculty identity as believers in a flat earth? Are we concerned about that viewpoint being underrepresented as well?

Absolutely, but it still doesn't make hiring a photographer an art form.

Using generative AI is a lot closer to hiring a photographer and telling them to take pictures for you than taking the pictures themselves.

A protest is disruptive by definition.

I would argue that Picasso's life experiences, the environments he grew up and lived in, the people he interacted with, and the world events that took place in his life (like the world wars) were the external developments that led to the development of cubism. Sure, an AI could take in and analyze the works that existed prior, but it couldn't have the emotional reaction that occurred en masse after WWI and started the breakdown of more classical forms of art and the development/rise of more abstract forms of art.

Or, as the kids might say, AI couldn't feel the vibe shift occurring in the world at the time.

They are absolutely buying goods that are manufactured in countries subject to these tariffs. They have to buy clothes and all sorts of everyday items, and since they can't afford to buy things manufactured in the US (when that's even an option), it's very likely they buy things that are made in China/etc at a higher rate that wealthier people. Even going back to your examples, flour will be going up in price, as well as gas and car parts.

Your comment insinuates that people complaining about tariffs are disconnected from those living in poverty, but thinking that those living in poverty won't be affected by prices going up around the board is a much bigger disconnect.

> If you're unemployed and living on whatever odd jobs and government assistance you can get, tariffs won't make one bit of difference in your life.

Prices going up on everything will absolutely make a difference in their lives. Even with government assistance and very low income, they still have to buy things to live - and they'll be able to afford even less. The poorer you are, the harder this is going to hit you.

To give further evidence that they don't know what they're doing, it's easy to generate this tariff plan using a fairly simple LLM prompt that gives back that same ratio:

Yeah, this feels like an attempt to (partially preemptively?) rehabilitate his image/legacy more than anything. If he makes a blog saying how important it is to "make good new things", then surely everything he makes is a good new thing! No need to look further to see what he actually supports.

Ah, missed the archive link, thanks.

How do you know a summary of a podcast you haven't listened to is accurate?

Is w3fools now defunct, or just broken on mobile? All I'm seeing is a message explaining that w3schools doesn't suck as much anymore.

This sounds like a lot of actions without any verification that the LLM didn't misinterpret things or just make something up.

According to his other comments, he's straight up in denial about everything that's been happening lately and thinks literally nothing is going wrong. If most Americans also hold that view, we really have no chance of getting out of this situation.

> But it absolutely leads to the phenomenon of otherwise moderate or formerly left leaning Christians moving towards the group that doesn't wear their not so thinly veiled hate openly on their sleeves for something deeply personal and important in their lives. You are the company you keep and shifting over like this brings you more in line mentally overtime with the kind of people you don't want to emulate.

If you're talking about Christians moving to right wing political groups because people were insulting them, then they're proving their detractors' points and actually encouraging this phenomenon.

It used to be much easier and more precise with 3D Touch, though. But probably even fewer people knew about that.

> I may be remembering incorrectly, but I honestly think it was better when it was released years ago than it is today.

I think you're remembering correctly. Siri used to work much better for basic tasks, and didn't seem to randomly fail for no discernible reason. I can't remember what iOS updates changed things, but there were at least a few that absolutely degraded Siri's functionality. One that stuck out to me was when Siri was one day suddenly unable to correctly respond to "play all songs shuffled" - it worked fine for years, but after an update, just decided it couldn't do that anymore.

What exactly is a "good demographic"? This sounds an awful lot like judging people based on their inherent characteristics.

Good point. Bezos would likely be encouraging, if not facilitating that oppression.

Yep. I think we usually underestimate the low level anxiety and adverse psychological effects of one knowing they're always being recorded/watched. Usually this only applies to being outside the home, which is bad enough imo, but bringing it into the home where you're supposed to be able to relax and have a reprieve from being surveilled cannot be good for the psyche. I would not be surprised if this (in combination with social media, and everyone always having a smart phone camera, etc) is a contributing factor in many of the psychological and societal issues people, especially younger people, are experiencing these days.
