Definately agree, that was included in the "or for worse" in this sentence I wrote. As for creating the addicts, nobody had a masterplan. It's all the pieces spiraling together, >>…

The human is designed to interact with small groups, to understand several smaller groups, and perhaps to imagine a big group of smaller groups. In a literal sense, let's say 100 p…

Though I am convinced this is intentional, i.e. a backdoor and not a bug, it should be noted that for goverment agencies there was already access anyway: https://news.ycombinator.c…

Just finished reading, love these kind of stories. Thanks for sharing

Me, on the other hand, love ffmpeg, because I notice my ytdlp using it and my vlc player sometimes using it and I have two homemade powrshell scripts using it to convert flac to mp…

Going in without understanding the underlying basic concepts is, just... well let's just say I completely agree with your comment!

And surely the other way around as well, if not more so. Places with more pollution will generally be in poorer areas, where life happiness/satisfaction are already lower, most lik…

That's on her then for fully believing what marketing and business execs are 'telling her' about LLMs. Does she get upset when she buys a coke around Christmas and her life doesn't…

You left out the most interesting part: why _were_ you a part of it. Did it not work out, why not, or did you leave because of reasons not related to the (un)succes of this system?…

You may be missing the feeling of being a human being with atonomy over the course of your life. Missing in the sence of absence, definately not in a sense of sadness or regret - b…

If they implement that without an opt-out in the settings, even if buried deep, using the web as a 'power user' will become even more painful!

This way of working is marketed as such by Chinese manufacturers. They will refer to it as something along the lines of: Made in South East Asia. Sometimes they produce the product…

Offtopic and meta, but, you share a screenshot using Twitter/X? That's really bizarre to me. That is all, just had to say that.

tl;dr when normal people start using things, it becomes noramlised!
