I would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.

I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.

These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

😂😂😂

I should try this show…

It looks like one of the rockets at the bottom, is unable to deploy a consistent thrust. It’s kinda sputtering.

Well, I don’t want to credit tumor, oop typo for Trump but I’ll allow it. So tumor and vance.

It was more that Encryption is constantly under threat. I don’t know how that gets downvoted.

Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.

I also tried DuckDuckGo.

Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway

It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

It was a very good article. Roth followed his uncle into a different line than he was told, and ended up surviving. If he had gone where he was told he wouldn’t be alive. He ate dog food scraps to stay alive at one point. Very resourceful and brave.

God bless him, and all those who lost their lives fighting in that dark moment of humanity’s history.

That is definitely how I read it.

History can’t just be ‘rewritten’ by A.I. and taken as truth. That’s fucking stupid.

Have you seen/read MurderBot ?

I would watch the fuck outta this

They said if they PAY to use… and get ads. They are right, I ditched tv for streaming because less ads. Now they want to go full circle? I feel like I can’t even open up the fridge these days without having some agenda or ad start.

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

*APR 69%; yearly fee: Left limb. Firstborn children no longer accepted.

Well, what else are those worms in his brain going to eat? They’ve got nothing else at this point!

That is clever human thinking. I like!

I think it’s admirable we find heart even for ‘predators of the deep’. Though, I feel like that was still super dangerous… like if it was hurt and accidentally hurt it trying to move it and it thrashes a tail or that massive head full of teeth… humans aren’t exactly agile in standing water like that.

Ofc, the desire to help internally is still there. I feel like I would have made a call to the coast guard to pull it out to sea more.

I don’t live there though, just working through the mental checklist of “what would I do”

I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.

It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

I just saw this movie.

Loved this show. Don’t look up anything about Jim Caviezel until you finish the show, or it might become hard to relate to his character there. 😆

Taking this with a grain of salt coming from the UK. The same UK who really wants to backdoor encryption, and isn’t subject to the EU (Brexit).

It’s shitty that CSAM is a problem, but it’s not a solution to backdoor encryption and vacuum everyone’s data. This is what would happen. It starts with ‘protecting the children’ and moves quickly into abuse of privilege.

My money is on Merman. Come on Merman. 🧜‍♂️
