Sounds as though they may be in China so the lesson is a bit more expensive.

Like DeFi but for agencies.

Why are you making it sound like speech needs to be qualified? The point of freedom of speech is that it doesn’t need to be approved by any authority.

Sounds more like a mealy mouthed argument against it.

Makes sense for the UK since if you post the same content as a citizen you could end up with the police at your door.

I guess, but I haven’t been thrilled by anything apple has released in a long time either. The status quo has just remained unchanged.

Windows has been pushing the same thing hard without much success.

Why do I care if AI is integrated into my OS when I can choose my preferred AI and it can use the OS directly?

and how do those signals reach the brain?

I can narrow that to the chemical signals that can cross the blood-brain barrier if that makes the point clearer.

Which of these do not involve chemical and neural communication?

The body itself has little effect on the mind other than the inputs from nerves and chemical and hormonal changes. These inputs are analogous to tokens and parameters for an LLM. You could theoretically reserve some tokens to be used as “physical” or “emotional” sensations that would affect the functioning of the model.

This is the most rational argument in this entire discussion.

It’s a bit like having a 1:1 scale architectural model made of cardboard. You walk people through it and everything looks good on the surface so they start asking “when can we move in?” skipping all of the hidden engineering that still needs to be done and in some cases pressuring you to just waterproof the exterior so they can live in the model instead of building the real thing.

That sounds more like a you problem.

Window layout isn’t the key feature, creating a spatial map of open files and other resources is.

I’ve always been extremely suspicious of constant water consumption. No other mammal seems to do this. Even the ones that require a lot of water like horses will only drink when they’re thirsty or while eating.

I wouldn’t call it a hallucination fest. If you’re using the models for anything other than a juiced up google search then turning search off, at least until it’s actually needed, is better in my opinion.

Do individuals matter in a democracy?

It’s also a very anti-democratic option whether taken voluntarily or forced.

When you leave you cut all important ties to the polity, you surrender your ability to participate in democratic processes and you revoke control over yourself and your property. It’s the nearest thing to direct violence you can do without crossing that line

The quality of responses has generally gotten worse the more that all the AI providers have leaned on search.

Now it’s default on for everything and annoying to turn off. The response you get back when search is off can be the complete opposite and is often more interesting.

that attitude is a direct result of having your neuroticism farmed by social media

because they do it even when they have a good job with ample pay and respect

Disagree completely, they were easily bypassed and I think they’re probably more easily bypassed today.

These systems won’t work any better than identification requirements for alcohol and tobacco or anything else. Maybe you didn’t know anyone who drank or smoked when you were a teenager but they are pretty widespread even when parents aren’t negligent. Systems like the proposed ones will be even easier for kids to find a way around.

I’m somewhat in favour of these foolish attempts at control because they always drive innovation in technology to circumvent them and adoption of that technology creating a thriving underground scene. Content piracy and alternative platforms could use a resurgence and this is just the thing to get it jumpstarted.

A collection of private companies contracted and administered by government.

This could have been a good piece of writing if the author chose not to be so smugly overconfident in their belief and show real evidence to support their claim. Mentioning the front page of HN as your source is glib and immediately made me doubt the conclusions. I was interested to see what work the author put into researching this but apparently they didn’t do any work at all.

When an LLM provides you with an overconfident piece of writing with no sources to back it up, what do you do?

If corporal punishment is effective then we don’t have to terminate anyone’s education. For some kids it may just take one painful lesson to turn them around so why forgo that and ruin their lives?

Certainly, if they also don’t care about physical punishment then expel them as a hopeless case but don’t do it reflexively as a cop out.

Isn’t this basically what Palantir does?

That wasn’t the era of global releases via the internet. You had to either buy it in person or, order by mail or get a copy from a BBS. It was an American game made for Americans.

Lord of the Flies was a fictional novel, it never happened, it’s not real and shouldn’t be used to inform your thinking.

Especially when real life instances of groups of young children being stranded without adult help exist and play out in ways directly opposite of the novel’s central thesis.
