    I agree with you in the broad strokes, but replacement by LLMs isn't the only way the level of employment can be reduced. If LLMs can make it so that two programmers can do the wor…

    I know lots of people who voluntarily use AI regularly without being forced to - a lot more than either people who are anti-AI or people who are forced to use it for work. That's p…

    Being unable to tell a game is garbage without personally playing it is a problem with or without AI. Though AI is vastly increasing the amount of slop out there, for sure.

    Knowing that some songs are by local artists who I could go see live doesn't tell me very much about the quality of the music, unfortunately. My friends recommending the music does…

    I just tried and it looks like I can do this in Chrome on Android relatively easily. The UI could be a lot nicer for it though. And I did run into an issue where if the site allows…

    My wife (head of accounting for a small business) has been working on automating large parts of her job using AI. It's not completely reliable and the human cannot be taken out of …

    Optional feature, off by default, customizable time interval, and a warning about false alarms? Even with that you'd likely still trigger false alarms regularly, though they would …

    Not everyone, no, but some people do choose to avoid lifestyle creep, or at least have a lot less of it than their peers. I'm just saying it's optional and not inevitable.

    If the decision-makers are elected by the people, it's not a dictatorship, no matter how many atrocities the nation commits. You can have some gray area I guess, with unfair electi…

    I suspect because some of these things would require us all to say no, which is difficult to coordinate and enforce. It's not impossible, but it's not as easy as "just" saying no, …

    I read some of the article and skimmed the rest, and didn't see anything about old-fashioned search no longer being an option. Is the idea that by making the new AI chat UX the def…

    Hopefully he would be using the LLM as an enhanced search engine that can point him to relevant authoritative sources that he can use to fact-check its output. I have done that in …

    With that diversity of preferences, some organizations might also be willing and able to do rigorous testing of the updates that are most important to them. It seems like a helpful…

    If you like Catholicism but struggle with the papacy, have you considered Eastern Orthodoxy?
