The problem isn't the _user's_ trust in the software....

Given how infuriating their implementation is of an in-app database, perhaps it's not that surprising.

You're right. We should start a letter-writing campaign to President Bush. Maybe it will make the nightly news.

of course not.

interesting idea, could you say more?

Guess you are their target market.

There's a lesson in here somewhere, but I'm not sure what it is.

Yes, it seEms a LOt of big Names in tech have this same problem. Curious that, isn't it?

I also think it is tipping their hand a bit. I know companies can do multiple things at once, but what might this flirty assistant focus suggest about how AGI is coming along?

That is very interesting, I'm picking up what you're putting down. YouTubers make rampant use of AI art. If nothing else, this era of YouTube will be recognizable from afar.

I do like that many people have learned to recognize the writing style and visual aesthetic, and are rejecting it.

> maybe people will do creative things with it

_Some_ people will do _some_ creative things with it, but most people will use it as a shortcut—as long as there's some kind of output, they couldn't care less about the quality. How much of correspondence is just an LLM summarizing what a different LLM wrote? If the internet wasn't dead before, this is surely killing it.

What I'm wondering is why are they doing that in the first place. Why is the best AI company in the world trying to stick a flirty voice into their product?

This is a sentiment I'm starting to see more of, and have really started internalizing in recent months.

For every creative task I've given an LLM in the last 2 years, if I cared at all about the output, I ended up redoing it myself by hand. Even with the most granular of instructions, the output feels like a machine wrote it.

I have yet to meet anyone who felt any kind of emotion from generated art, except for "wow, it's cool that AI can make this". That's because (imo) art comes from experience, and experiencing is absolutely not what LLMs do.

Meanwhile, my dad, whose AI experience amounts to using MS Copilot "two or three times," is sending me articles about Devin, and how it's over for software engineers.

"If it doesn't fix 100% of the problem it's not worth it"

It's kinda like the classic Ebay scam where you buy a picture of the item instead of the item.

wait til you hear about Parler

Elaborate but aggressively overstate your position in exactly twelve words.

still hilarious this comment is

Another hoaxer...

the full quote, properly attributed to Mother Teresa, is "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all unless it's online"

Same for me if I stretch my neck at the correct angle. I kinda like it too, inducing syncope and feeling that awareness drift away, plus the lack of situational awareness while my systems come back online is fascinating.

This happened to me recently. I was in the kitchen and decided, for whatever reason, to stretch. There was a drawer open a few feet away. I held the stretch for long enough to induce this blackout, and it went almost exactly as you describe. The next thing I remember is a ten second fade-in to awareness: I'm sideways on the floor making gibberish noises and holding the back of my head. The drawer, now above me, was knocked off its rails. As I reflexively got up from fainting, I did not have awareness of the open drawer, and bonked the back of my head on it.

It was an extremely interesting moment of observing conscious awareness that I think about all the time.

>Consider that the reason their software is so much better than the rest is _because_ they charge this much and can reinvest it in to the software.

LOL!!

It's at Diego Garcia with MH370

Okay?

Did you misspell Cloudflare as Cloudfare three times?

Love your Git scraping technique, very clever. Thanks for sharing.

I am DYING at these
