What's the outlet then? Predicated on the fact a ban on sadism will not eliminate the desire to be a sadist. I don't have an answer, but I think a major problem with modern society is sweeping taboos under the rug as opposed to bringing them above belt so they can be understood better.

The only way I see AI killing us is by killing our spirit. We're going to automate our humanity away if we're not careful. Or the water. The environmental impact may get us as well.

See, I don't know, I almost have a romantic vision of the sabatical work. I could have done anything. I could have done most everything. But I didn't. I did _THAT_ thing. And maybe that's the thing I have to get over; it's only romantic to me, not the person experiencing the work.

Well, the care is evident in subtle ways. No one is going to come over and exclaim "wow you put a lot of care into this!" But when they see cabinets that match, design elements flow from one part of the house to another, and other things buttoned up, they might say: "This is a really pleasant space." Which, in my mind is synonymous. I've learned these are synonymous reactions over many years of making art.

I do think if someone started to dig deeper on the house renovation and you had an answer for your choices, it would come across a lot better than always replying "I don't know, I paid an interior decorator." Everyone likes a good story, and that storytelling lets a visitor go deeper in their relationship with the homeowner. Obviously there's a myriad of different people, but this is how it generally works in the circles I run in.

Then don't.

Serious question: Does the ease of building cheapen the final product? Like something I've been struggling with is how can I show effort in the design of a product if I can just one-shot it with a prompt?

But that's still not an across the wire latency.

Why patch out fun on a single player game? Simply don't use it if it's not fun...

So which model are they using under the hood? The "Personalizing" status updates as it formulates a response makes me think Gemini

Isn't that kind of a good thing at the scale of a government? Each task should be hard, use a lot of energy, to ensure it's important enough to do. The DMV should take 1/2 day of work. Otherwise people's egos start think they have it all figured out and then people start imagining improvements and become dissatisfied. Wouldn't this just lead to unrest and resentment?

So this leads to the LLM running the government right? It's going to be useful enough to work with it, not around it, and as it reduces the workload of government employees, more branches will begin to utilize it. Maybe in a few decades it becomes: "it's doing a good job of managing the people's requests and expectations, let's let it ride"

Arc is still usable and gets chromium updates. It's still my daily driver since as you said, it's great.

Edit: I also use it as my mobile browser. I really don't see any problems on their mobile app (iOS)

I imagine the change from oil lamps to electricity was a similar paradigm shift. What do you mean one company controls if I can or can't light my home?

Yes, the numerical point counter at the bottom of the popular video game Dark Souls. I doubt it was the soul anyone was expecting, but they do, in fact, exist.

Does the Robin bird understand the worm it's pecking at? Honestly I find your comment asinine and overly aggressive.

What about metaphors like similes?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck maybe it's a duck... but maybe it's not. And it's important to verify it's a duck (or not) for when you _really_ need a duck.

Funny, I consider him a national hero. Agree to disagree I guess.

The iPhone 1 doesn't look THAT bad to me. Also I wonder if its worth 13.6 thousand ($13,600) in phone upgrades over the years?

My issue is I'm getting to the point where I have to wonder if "Details in the back" are preserved, or if they're re-added via some sort of post-processing filter. Are those REALLY the details in the photo?

This coincides with the release of Opus 5.5. Wonder if that has any causal relationship to this?

Zawinski's Law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Maybe Todd's more a champion of the people than I originally realized. Not retreading ground with remasters is admirable in my book.

Xbox360 was the second best system behind PS2 in my mind. PS4, Switch, and Super Nintendo get honorable mentions.

I never considered the compound interest angle. This helps me reason about my life; thanks!

Who do you leak to when you believe even your organization is compromised/complicit? Who watches the watchmen? He chose 'the people' and I can't fault him for it.

Or it was a crime of opportunity on Russia's part. "Hey, we didn't plan this but since his passport just got revoked, what if Good Ol' Uncle Putin extended a hand? Maybe we could flip him."

Whether the play worked or not doesn't really matter. I don't think his citizenship status is contingent on him leaking to Russia explicitly, and I don't think he started as a Russian spy. I think it was a crime of opportunity; a play.

It's all fun and games until the mind wanders to you getting polonium-210'd for your work, and you decide 'my life isn't worth _this_.' It's kind of dumb people choose fear, but I understand it.
