To be honest, I tried to work with with GitHub Copilot to see if it could help junior devs focus in on the important parts of a PR and increase their efficiency and such, but... I'…

Oh, I have no issue with his textbook definition, I'm saying that it's now being used to sell products by people who know their normal consumer base isn't using the same definition…

I searched for the definition of "agent" and none of the results map to the way AI folks are using the word. It's really that simple, because we're marketing this stuff to non-tech…

That's actually a great example of what I'm saying, because I don't think the NPCs are agents at all in the traditional sense of "One that acts or has the power or authority to act…

It's disingenuous in that it takes a word with a common understanding ("agent") and then conveniently redefines or re-etomologizes the word in an uncommon way that leads people to …

That definition feels like it's playing on the verb, the idea of having "agency" in the world, and not on the noun, of being an "agent" for another party. The former is a philosoph…

Another great reminder to the rest of us that simple and complex are not analogous to easy and hard.

To me that's the mark of a high quality sarcastic reply.

Really hit the false equivalence nail on the head. Cars enable long-distance travel, which in many parts of the world is now essential for survival, and often that is, ironically, …

That seems more likely than my initial interpretation, in which case the moral and ethical implications just so you can have a "Summarize with AI" button or other such features in …

That's how a lot of folks write when they want to make a shorthand comparison and they trust their readers to understand what they're doing. The author is making a comparison of th…

How is that weird? Current energy consumption levels for LLMs are definitely problematic. That's not to say they can't improve, but at the moment it's definitely bad. The estimate …

I took it as more of a recognition of the downsides to LLM tech that the hype train tends to ignore, as well as the legal / moral / ethical gray areas that exist in both training t…

At a glance, it feels more likely to me that they're criticizing training LLMs on content without compensating the original creators, not the salaries of OpenAI engineers. It's a p…

Player's Handbook.

Oh the AIrony.

The keylogger and subsequent profit from selling the passwords we capture is just a small side effect.

It's different in that it's creating a new unique intermediate layer, but admittedly I'm struggling to see the value for most workflows. I assume there's an important detail I'm mi…

Unfortunately no, I paid for premium for a while believing this, but the experience is exactly the same. Though it's very possible I'm just missing the sarcasm here.

I'm an Arch fanboy, but after all these years Fedora is still what I install on machines that I need to use for real work. It's been consistently rock solid for me when it matters …
