I’m also guessing that “in the club” from this person’s perspective is “studied mathematics long enough to have an academic career in the field,” and the other group that “genuinely enjoy math” are people who didn’t put in said work but can now watch in amazement as they prompt their way through something they fundamentally don’t understand.

Might as well grind up the tablet of complaint to Ea-nāṣir and make cement out it, right? What use could there be in preserving the mundane facets of everyday existence?

To play devils advocate, completely on the terms of your argument, would it be better for that particular human artifact to be shredded and its contents melted into an anonymized data pool, or for it to exist in a museum archive, in its original form, such that future generations can better understand what it was like to be alive in 1994?

I’d personally choose the latter, especially given that the 1994 tv guide is not going to meaningfully improve the utility of the language models.

Direct access to pre-digital history is drying up rapidly, why accelerate that for incremental benchmark gains in a domain that isn’t even relevant to the most useful forms of a nascent technology?

So what are your thoughts on tavern slot machines where legal? No chemicals but plenty of people who will openly tell you they wish they weren’t doing thus while they cash out a 90% loss and buy another beer to head back in for another round of punishment

I’d bet that an exceptional legal team could make a pretty solid case based purely on the volume and testimony of behavioral psychologists on their payroll

You’ve not already noticed that the end of every consumer-facing LLM chat always includes an invitation for just one more turn to keep the loop going?

It’s such a joke. But we also need to find ways to study and measure non-gambling digital platform addiction like 15 years ago. Thanks to algorithmic consumption, we’re nearing a whole generation of adults that have no idea how to navigate their societal agency and 3 trailing generations that had once learned and since forgot.

This is well executed and stupidly amusing - can I get an APK port for my android handheld? Would make for a fun game night with some buddies

More importantly, the US isn’t the one welcoming someone holding a US passport, so the phrase is nonsense and reflects a complete lack of understanding or at least thought as to the purpose of the document

We can’t even make expensive versions of those goods

I’d suggest considering empathy once you get past the anger, their former selves would be equally repulsed by their behavior, and for many I expect their current selves feel similarly despite their lack of control. The villains here aren’t the broken people.

First search returned a Reddit post describing it as “Ruqqus was a "free speech" website. You were totally safe to say whatever you wanted there as long as you weren't a liberal or a Jew”

Good riddance

Nuclear arms and fentanyl come to mind as worse

It’s fine that a secondary consequence is them showing their foolish hand; I’ll give you that, but this not normal and should not just be absorbed as though it’s normal and that’s just what we call it now

Because they used millions of dollars of American citizens’ tax revenue to make a meaningless edgelord gesture, amongst a myriad of other reasons why it’s a bizarre and childish thing to do. Stopping there because this isn’t Reddit

Can we stop normalizing the bizarre and childish rename of the us defense department?

Out of curiosity what particular part of the original text needed to be polished and why couldn’t the writer accomplish said polish without a language model?

I’d recommend providing a lot more screenshots and information about how the core DAW functionality works in comparison to other DAWs. As is I can’t see enough about what this would feel like to spend my time downloading and trying it

One nitpicky detail is that the executives may be a rep for the customer/consumer, but are also very much reps for the shareholders and that’s a pretty big distinction

The part about his team is so obviously performative, as though he’s such a great leader he just couldn’t help himself from being a dick because someone was “speaking down to his team”

A mediocre PR staffer got paid a decent piece of money to find a way to frame ab outburst as heroic

Operating at a loss to buy market share is pretty much the norm at this point. Look behind the curtain at any “unicorn” for the past 3 decades and you’ll see VCs propping up losses until the general population has grown too dependent on the service to walk away when the pricing catches up to reality.

Apparently more people need to see more information about those things because they’re still happening

This is the actual answer to the whole question - accountability

Agreed. But giving adults free will is a principle of the market, so if attempting to prevent the most vulnerable consumers is the best we can get from a compromise, I’m for it

Hi OP! I’ll share what I mentioned below in hopes of a response from you directly, because I’m genuinely curious to hear what you think:

Seems like people should be of whatever age we consider mature before they start capturing intimate data about themselves on random platforms. If we don’t think you’re able to understand the risks of pursuing your reproductive impulses, do we think you can measure the risks of sharing data about those impulses on a platform you don’t control?

Local data or not, if I were the steward of a marketplace I’d use that position to create this kind of teaching moment for pre-developed consumers. If young people had been warned since the mid 2000s of how much of their intimacy they were handing over to Meta, ByteDance, etc. before they started, the world would certainly be better off.

Obviously not, pen and paper is the correct platform for a young person to document this type of data.

Not sarcasm, kids should truly just write this shit down instead of using a weird app that’s not accountable to them in any way,

“Partner Cycles” particularly describes a domestic surveillance situation that caters to an audience I’m not looking to spend time with

Do you have recs? Particularly where I can buy epub without drm with a fairly rich catalogue across niche and more mainstream writings?

The browser version is limited in the ways you’d expect. The Mac OS native version is limited in ways you can’t comprehend. Until you realize they’re fighting apple for enterprise contracts.
