People think AI is a bad editor (I personally don't), here's your argument under a particularly harsh version of that framing: Saying an article is of inferior quality just because…

If your battery is replaceable, you can still decide to throw the phone away and add to the pile of e-waste. The legislation allows both choices, at the cost of higher prices.

This comment is every policy discussion. I like [X POLICY] but [Y POLICY] would be miles better. Although [Y POLICY] is much further reaching and has never been tried at anything l…

You know exactly what is meant. I don't think we need the long disclaimer at the beginning about the inefficiency of the English language in this domain and the extreme likelihood …

The last part of GPT's answer does say: "Bernoulli's effect works alongside Newton's Third Law - the wing pushes air downward [...] - so the lift isn't only Bernoulli..." According…

Maybe global warming should be up there. Perhaps they were trying to avoid any possible misunderstanding/misconstrual (there are misinformed people who don't believe in global warm…

This is a letter signed by the most lauded AI researchers on Earth, along with CEOs from the biggest AI companies and many other very credible professors of computer science and en…

Global warming's worst effects aren't in 2-3 years, but we all (I hope) still care very much about it. Perhaps the article is wrong about the timescale, but given how much AI has i…

I imagine a peasant of old moving from bartering to coins would 'like' money - would that be allowed by this author or be too gauche?

He promised that you'd be able to turn your own Tesla into an autonomous taxi that would earn you money. That is a massive lie, not splitting hairs. Obviously, we're very desensiti…

Bizarre nitpicking - would you rather he used an unbounded integer?

On your question about popularity - I would put it down to expense and noise. The fans go like mad (especially on the cheaper projectors) and to get parity with a decent monitor, y…

Church pews are the conveyor belt into the box

Perfectly put

Incredibly melodramatic "Having his avatar beside mine on an unfinished google doc felt invigorating" - are you fucking kidding me.

I found the "we are not superhuman" bit annoying and condescending - replacing with different groups: "While men are stronger than women on average, we are not superhuman" "While l…

Average internet speed has increased by more than 10x in the last 10 years - we've got a few more multipliers in us.

The Mallard is such a beautiful train.

You like a design which spits out a wall of text, 90% of which is useless. And wrap it up with the idea that you're a high IQ superuser for reading through that crap. I'm just some…

Pavlovian response. The dog associates pooing on the carpet with you punishing it/being upset with it.

Why should the default of the tool be totally unintelligble useless (for 90% of single usages) rubbish? You can have your raw truth - strange way of putting it, its a tool, this is…

You're describing the improper use of any tool. I would have liked to bring a penknife to school to sharpen pencils, but it's probably good that they were banned.

Jesus, bit melodramatic for poking some fun.

The problems spoke for themselves over the course of the presentation. Something as simple as a counter was very complicated to look at, filling the screen with jiggling nodes. The…

Very American mindset to assume the only problem one could have with an entire population owning guns is mass shootings. Regular old shootings outway mass shooting deaths by a long…
