Hence, the best case. Yet, the damage is permanent. Your favourite trail walking app patching things after the attack does not undo your location getting leaked.

In your scenario, during the disruptive phase, I can imagine apps advertising 'we have Mythos backed security company defending our data'. Reminiscent of showing how much your gun is bigger than your neighbour or gangs on the street, it's truly distopian.

I refuse to believe this is not some sort of marketing piece for author's company.

This is such a short-sighted take and author seems unaware of what damage can be done with powerful open weights models (intentional or not).

Jail-broken Fable level LLMs can mean constant hacking leading to public desertification of the web (best case). Now imagine state sponsored bio lab leaking strange viruses on yearly basis. We've seen enough evidence already, it is difficult for me to imagine an engineer living at the centre of the change is writing this piece.

It's a different question if you ask me if I trust a single company to police the technology. But with the current state of things, I unwillingly admit that no state entity can do a better job at the moment.

I also went this route once I concluded that I enjoy the process of taking photos (getting the 'composition right') rather than editing. I've never heard of Camp Snap until now, looks interesting!

Wanted to edit camera profiles on Linux, couldn't get the official app to run in Wine, so I built my own https://filmkit.eggrice.soy

I also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.

This is a good approach to take when assisted with building knowledge base (with your choice of retrieval system, ex. LLMs). 'Train' your brain like the article suggests, defer mental load to another system.

Easy mid-way product realization from research they had to do for folding phones.
Expected in-depth discussions about the topic, but got pseudo-science medical advice instead. I guess HN _is_ a 'social media' after all.
Re:Google is massively ahead in the AI battle of 2024 on Saturday March 23, 2024 @08:23PM (#39804064)
We need to realize how much Google is ahead in this game and start acting upon it.
Sorry for being off topic, but I really find the fluorescent green border obnoxious. Even if I scroll down, it remains at the top and bottom, which I find distracting.
