I CANNOT believe google would do this to paying customers!

Oh, right.

not_enoch_wise··on LLMs confabulate not hallucinate
LLMs answer with unwarranted confidence.

LLMs speak with confidence about disciplines they don’t actually understand, like sociology and economics.

So we’ve finally automated Hacker News comments!

If this isn’t an advertisement, why does this article exist?
not_enoch_wise··on Silicon Valley faces a crisis of nonsense
If Palmer Lucky is on a good quest by making arms dealing “better”, then how is yachting around at 35 a bad quest?

Substack really needs a “confirm my bias” filter to complete its quest.

If only someone had warned-

Lol jk, years of warnings, software vendors don’t care

not_enoch_wise··on Why AI Will Never Rival Human Creativity
What IDIOTS like this poster don't understand is that "true" art doesn't sell ads!

Getting really sick of people scoffing at the privilege of being disrupted.

“But I need to pay rent and eat!”

Never thinking of imperial needs before themselves!

not_enoch_wise··on Liberating the MacBook Air 2013 with Linux
This!

Apple delivers the proprietary ports that deprecate all my yucky existing cables, the walled garden that drives up costs and stifles external innovation, the orthodox design choices that refuse to update in the face of UX concerns, and the tv remote controls so divorced from human reality it guarantees I won’t watch too much tv!
