Regressive Hitler?

One man's caveat is another man's nodding approvingly.

Next logical step is filter customization that you carry around and gets applied seamlessly to all videos you post on the platform. Next to that becomes filters that get applied ba…

Fierce anti-communism led to Franco, Pinochet, and Osama bin Laden. We can call it even.

Reading this I have the impression that John Carmack will be to AI what Jeff Hawkins is to brain research: a far-fetched idea, with potential, maybe too abstract and left-field to …

I did not know that. It is amazing how perception of HN changes drastically once you turn this flag on. It is not as extreme as "turning into a completely different website" but ce…

Second entry might get some, too: "The Brit says, 'I would like to buy this bar, restore it to its former glory and then burn it to the ground'". GPT knows something we don't.

As it happened with book binders, printing press operators, tailors, lamplighters, milkmen... what is so special about professional artists?

There is something off about this argument. On one hand, you say "Humans derive a lot from process, not the final product", which I completely agree. But you also say "places like …

Maybe you do not even need to write tests: they are just additional cells with prompts aimed at generating fuzzy testing against logic cells.

I wonder if creating code snippets is missing the point. I've just imagined a future in which programmers create lambda-style functions that are essentially GPT prompts and pipe th…

I'm fully aware that I'm stretching the argument and analogies. However, I find all of these expressions ("Capturing the moment", "has a different aim") vague and full of gaps. May…

I think the same argument can be made of photography. A photographer does not "paint" or "create" the image. It points a machine to a place and presses a button with a finger. This…
