    Yea the wording that it was some way or another “for you” came across as aggressiveness so I responded in kind.

    When I was in grad school we talked about the Jacobian conjecture as something that would never be solved, and not really even worth thinking about since it’s impossible. There’s b…

    Ironically that would be useful data for AI labs to take. It could be used productively to make digital art training material or nefariously to make models to displace those artist…

    Programming has a lot of nice features and accurately capturing them all in a hacker news comment isn’t that easy, so maybe you could have some consideration for that in the future…

    Another strict positive I’ve had with AI is having it figure out how to deal with bureaucracy. This is dangerous due to privacy issues, but I was seriously depressed for a period, …

    I think there’s a lot of need for people to help others understand how to healthily engage with this technology. I do struggle with turning it off once I get started on it. I also …

    I actually think that’s a great use of AI, and sounds similar to some of my use cases. “And I think, to be honest, the enjoyment I would have gotten out of the programming part onc…

    That’s my experience, starting at 10 years old and trying to figure out how the the moving pictures were in the screen. I didn’t say that was the reason though. A person has a lot …

    I’m not virtue signaling? I’ve shared exactly my experience. People experience reality differently and that’s not some affront on you.

    For me that’s a slippery slope. It’s not really clear what parts of my hobby project are the good parts and what parts are unfulfilling. When I start including AI too much I end up…
