True if you are fiddling with the whole work. No one would expect to find that entertaining immediately after generation - maybe a year out after you forget it.

For now the prompts are deliberate creations of mind but in due time they could be largely auto generated (perhaps even blurred from the user) like feathers in a cap you collect and never have to look at. They will learn how to surprise us to a delightful degree with levers that don't reveal all the magic.

Pretty soon when the novelty wears off they will realize they still have to gimp their generated responses if they want to have things to scrape in future. A world where you want websites to exist to direct users to clashes with building perfect chatbots.

Kagi have every incentive to engage in sandbagging their upcoming chatbot just like google, they just prefer you knew it as "your safety" rather than "their sinking ship".

You are not meant to say that out loud, you are meant to show that it doesn't phase you in silent approval. The culture curators have gone to great lengths to leave an opening for your social advancement at the watercooler, it'd be unwise to refuse their offer.

It's mid. Some advice is not really meant to be taken, just given publicly to express sympathies, profess gentleness, and get an oof reaction (see the byline).

This is DAY ONE of the content explosion. People will soon learn they can skip the middlemen and generate yourself any niche theme at all. The story gen a.i. are only going to get better day by day.

If you must have new published books (allegedly human authored, edited, and curated for cultural relevancy) you will almost have to use your own a.i. anyway. You'll need to trust it to summarize the work or "human" reviews, detect/fix repulsive flaws, and get/generate any recommendations according to your satisfaction.

Moat madness! Might as well be asking what's our strategy to sit on our laurels when we get there?

The winner will be the one who wanted winning enough to set sail without a destination, not the one who had dreams of hoarding the current year's tech interactions forever.

if you have to choose between a female priest and a similarly qualified robot priest, choose the underrepresented genderless robot.

surely this is a screen-saver feature on your existing eink tablet not a device unto itself. ewaste ftw

Power is not a means, it is an end. The only way to discover the limits of your freedom is to go too far.

In short, excessive pricing and bundling undermines dissemination of knowledge.

Life coach warning. They have to pretend a life can be programmed with certainty by way of subjugating yourself to their proprietary rehashed perspectives. And how blissful if the right wispy sentence would effortlessly reach me and motivate me at the right time, with minimal sacrifice on my part though.

Modern art is not meant to satisfy men. How dare you.

Mumble-core has already been mimicked by every babytalker. I'm offering 70-30 royalties for anyone to use my tech that makes your singing voice better annunciate words.

It has some good reasoning abilities for trick questions but no ability to scan books or webpages, it just suggests them. I'd say it's model is over 30B parameters it just limits its responses to adhere to a good assistant voice exchange.

You get 10 trial interactions then there is a phone number signup wall tell you it wants to spam you. Before I got cut off it did say something interesting: "As AI becomes more sophisticated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine a future in which humans play a significant role."

And That's A Good Thing?

Why even write a book when every insight in them can be shaken out of an LLM? You know, shorter content doesn't have to mean mind-melting right? Strip away the self-marketing poison found in every social media post and lets see.

Books were very simple machines to dress up our thoughts and the community reoriented itself well to the demands of the machine. But progress marches on the graves of obsolete machines as it did quills, book presses, typewriters, telegrams, libraries, word processors. Joe Reader has the same access to mind blowing dynamic text that creatives only wish to see as a finishing tool. He won't settle for the old glass window over static text just to please the artisan book writer.

Finally, a curmudgeon who sells his woe-porn in a den, drip by drip. First hit is free!

Figures, I find virtue signaling in any sphere more distasteful than a quiet personal thirst for knowledge.

Gift cards can be later rescinded or restricted and you'd have to spend your credits on their plantation. I get they're trying to make it hard to immediately spend your money on better guns at the gun show over in the next hall but they might just be encouraging desperate people to produce and horde dodgy unsafe firearms to be made in preparation for the next buyback scheme.

Gotta love that globohomo convergence in the age of average.

Imagine there are no celebrities, telling us what to trust. Skepticism in media will have to make a comeback.

If Paul really does practice what he preaches " Do What You Feel Like " morality then he should have no problem with others choosing to make singing sounds exactly like he might have, but didn't. At least oasis says approving things about their better a.i. halves - aisis.

A "moving of the goal posts" implies a goal wasn't kicked. A better visual is them retreating to a higher mound of their motte-and-bailey castle construction because the bailey has been breached.

not much different to the original typeface unless you like more bends like those loopy wrought iron garden fences.

i can sign up fine in tor but the actual downloads directed me to zlibcdn.com/dtoken/ which is also down and the tor book preview doesn't work either.

Very engaging after the first act. Imaginary Conversations is already an established sub genre of history books and I can't wait to see where this style of hybrid curation / creation goes, surely into the present like this. Maybe a.i. voice debates will be so offensive to the popular pundits being cloned it will encourage more real live debates again, giving people exactly what they want just to compete with underground a.i.

I expect soon there will be Unauthorized Biographies written in the first person with the audiobook read by the subject's a.i. voice. What a trip.
