Because your incentives are opposed to the provider’s incentives

If anyone is curious, a medical daily dose can be around 20mg and recreational consumption for a non-hardcore user is around 400mg so they’re commonly taking 20x the therapeutic do…

One problem I see with your analogy is that the dangerous lawnmower can cause an easily quantifiable harm. You have to be able to show damages you incurred and assign a dollar valu…

They need an editor who will go through and identify the puzzles that must be solved through brute force, and require alteration.

Read a little more of what he's written before you praise him, so you don't end up looking as dumb as I did. Ed may be right about some of his claims, but he is 100% a crank, and h…

How can there be a baseline check when you operate by getting the most inexperienced cheapest person possible to do the work?

In the earlier days of the USA we did the same thing, with our government having an industrial policy that fed US industry and put us ahead of Great Britain. It doesn't have anythi…

On the other hand, it’s a beautiful example of the abilities LLMs have bestowed upon us, where it’s easier for a guy to transcribe audiobooks then to use a website to quickly downl…

“Carbogen” has an interesting history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbogen It has some sort of mind altering effect, and in the early days of psychedelic psychotherapy it was us…

Having been the manager writing those reports, you can only practically find causes that are within a single team’s ability to resolve. If you find a problem like this thread’s hyp…

Competitors often wish they didn't have to compete. For example, a cartel is "a group of independent market participants who collaborate with each other and avoid competition in or…

The shame is that the LLM is the best the universe has to offer to some people.

Is AI really particularly worse than anything else we do with computers? I haven’t seen something that really convinced me yet. In particular, I feel it suffers from the problem of…

I've been following this issue pretty closely, and it's not only Macs that have this problem with dell monitors, if you check out the dell support forum there are various PC users …

To me, it doesn’t seem strange at all because I’m thinking about how complicated the system would have to be to carry out such a directive.

what do you mean by "exact same thing" This isn't about "poaching" employees (in our society people can work where they choose, they are not property of a feudal lord) and using th…

It's not simply that people will get a warped answer when they ask AI a question. It's that AI will be given the command, and then generate the stories, post the comments to reddit…

the new Siri does the apple-ecosystem tasks you would have needed a claw type agent for natively

One aspect you're missing is that people running a claw type agent thing need to run it on a Mac to automate software in the Apple ecosystem. Neo-Siri in iOS 27 removes the need fo…

overall, too much of this makes sense. The only part I have any objection to is the part about when you're using an AI to make something, you are not steering. I think you only giv…

Yep I found that was only true for me after the distraction-detector made me put conscious effort into using the buttons without looking. By default I'm a button-looker

The truck I was driving had physical buttons for all the climate control functions, and for volume/on-off too. It wouldn't have been surprising to me if I was distracted fiddling w…

The law only specifies the outcome (alcohol detection) not the implementation (hose blowing)

Ford has had that since Blue Cruise 2.0, or thereabouts. It really shocked me how often it catches my attention being diverted. Things like talking to my passengers, adjusting the …

It’s funny how a strategy like this would work on me, but I am a busy adult who doesn’t really game. Compare that to my nephews who have a lot of time for gaming, but they’re alway…
