I reached the end. Not sure that will help me end by stock market addiction. nice game.

It will happen, as long as people don't get language models are a glorified google search. They predict what they should say based on what they read. If what the read is nonsense t…

I bet it still thinks 1+1=3 if it read enough sources parroting that.

And the catch-up of logic clock, how fast people catch-up we don't have Skynet within 2 years, but a glorified google search for the next 20 years.

If everything you do starts by asking an LLM, then you start with superficial research, because frankly it was never anything better than a fancy google search.

and then you use chrome: google's browser. why? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

they should make it big as A, and reversible as C, why do I have to think of solutions so obvious?

It's true that the lack of choices back then (other that spezzit) contributed majorly to the migration. But I also think a new paradigm entirely is needed for social media after th…

I don't think it's the viability itself. The many options also play a role: back at the digg exodus reddit was the only alternative to a large extend or at least the only alternati…
