Since the switch to Wero, I've noticed that I need to do an extra, seemingly pointless click. it's not iDeal!

I imagine they do have 'real solutions' that are a bigger problem to some than their inability to govern is...

sadly, over here in the netherlands and I assume elsewhere, the job as a postman changed drastically when they privatized. room for the human element has been all but squeezed out …

> People can finally put a name on an unease that's been growing inside them for a while now. I've had some interesting conversations about the pre-AI slop and how the distinction …

I'd say I'm pretty attuned to detecting AI content and I was fooled a few times at inattentive moments. I imagine a lot of people fare worse, assuming they even truly mind whether …

I recall some documentary came out or was announced? maybe that has to do with it?

maybe 42 was just the end of sequence token...

A lifetime is not that long though, and I'd argue that TV was the start of a chapter that internet, iphones, etc. are just ever-increasingly addictive and immediate iterations on. …

That's a brilliant short story right there!

I have the same experience, but with Snow Crash...

Also don't forget the 'memory' feature. As LLM providers get better at tailoring the LLM to the user, and probably obfuscating the details on how this user-specific memory works, i…

I'm somewhat skeptical, but also honestly curious: what game-changing applications came out of the blockchain/web3 hype craze?

I get the impression after using language models for quite a while that perhaps the one thing that is riskiest to anthropomorphise is the conversational UI that has become the defa…

Is that currently not allowed?

Eschaton was just slop for the masses!

And they recently open-sourced (among other things?) the Oban Web plugin!

Interesting. I'd be mortified if things happened that way here, because I regularly forget to bleep items, and have quite a few time been checked in those cases. the only consequen…
