Nothing makes me feel like more a chump than getting halfway through a blog post and realizing it was likely cowritten by an LLM. And I love LLMs! I use them all the time. But I ju…

The Drifter is a great example of a slightly more modernized take on the classic adventure genre. Had a slow start and some grating voice acting, but gosh it ended up being a great…

I went through a “100%” phase recently and couldn’t for the life of me understand why I was suddenly saying it ALL THE TIME. Brains are so weird.

It's hard to take this piece seriously if he's citing _Ed Zitron's_ math, and equally hard to make the blanket statement that flat-rate plans = "the current AI pricing". But yes, t…

At least on the HomePod side, intercom is at best a half-baked feature and at worst an infuriation machine. It uses a cumbersome voice trigger ("siri, tell …") to begin recording a…

Okay, so then — who gets squeezed more by AI: the clueless or the losers?

Nope. Still does not. I have 2 macs on my desk and no simple way to connect them to a single Apple display! It's a glaring hole that to me suggests they have no idea who their mark…

I think many deployments of modern technology do turn us into reverse centaurs, and we should rail righteously against those. But I don’t at all believe that AI-assisted coding is …

Unlike many of those approaches which concern themselves with delivery of human-designed static UI, this seems to be a tool designed to support generative UIs. I personally think t…

that's not quite what parent was talking about, which is — don't just use one giant long conversation. resetting "memories" is a totally different thing (which still might be valua…

i'm geniunely curious about how you made the jump from "here's a single regulation" all the way down the slippery slope to "can't regulate away ALL parenting". does this one regula…

Very surprised they didn’t do preorders for this

Much better version of the paper here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/magentic-ui-an...

I think for enterprise it’s going to become part of the subscription you’re already paying for, not a new line item. And then prices will simply rise. Optionality will kill adoptio…

> The bulk of the responsibility is, and should be, on the leader to avoid misunderstandings in the first place. This can be both true and unhelpful at the same time. “Extracting t…

Not to look a gift horse too much in the mouth, but I find the multiple English translations overwhelming! But at the same time, the range of interpretation and the different color…

Looking forward to giving it another try!

I was very delighted by Aqua v1, which felt like magic at first. But I’ve noticed/learned that I can’t dictate written content. My brain just does not work that way at all — as I w…

Fantastic game, and really enjoyed the thought you put into "submit-gate" and entertaining ideas from the peanut gallery.

Manifold Space specifically (unless it’s also present in his other Manifold books)

I love this nongrammatical/idiomatic use of parentheses actually. Language is a tool, and its rules can be just as powerful when violated as when upheld. In this case they convey a…

Interestingly, this is the exact opposite of the point the article makes — which is that over time, more general models and more compute are more capable, and by building a domain-…

Is it less evil if an unsupervised process does it?

Magnet is great, with very good sane default keybindings so you can just install and go.

It really is. People have a hard time balancing focusing on their deliverables vs truly paying attention (either broadly or deeply). I tend to err toward the attention side which m…
