    There’s at least one distinction I didn’t see in the article. If a throbber is advanced by signals of progress or at least action, then it’s not useless and is arguably better than…

    We have machines that can read our thoughts and act on our slightest whims. How come these brilliant machines can’t figure out how to make a hospital stay not cost $60,000? Or buil…

    Yes please. This nonsense of agents controlling browsers where the user has logged into sites as themselves needs to die before it takes off.

    Fascinating. I wonder what it would look like if you intentionally tried to create a VR experience optimized for creating this disruption. Does every game or experience have the sa…

    Those “AI can’t do x” articles/videos are not aging well. I’m not sure why people keep thinking like that after seeing Will Smith eating pasta. Also, not for nothing but every one …

    That’s the only message I can see. Am I… am I an AI?

    The problem is people keep trying to regulate businesses by name instead of by the effects they have. If we had regulations on noise, vibration, emissions, water use, electromagnet…

    Yeah this is about the worst way you could imagine to evaluate an AI model. If you’d given it a real task you’d have been impressed. I was floored by the day I spent with Fable. Go…
