    It does make me question humans and thinking but in the opposite direction. It is like sitting down at a piano, sight reading a piece from sheet music and then someone who has no i…

    I think it is pretty cool for the first time trying something like this. It seems like chain of thought combined with search. Seems like it looks for 30 some references and then co…

    You also didn't have "sampler music". People did creative things with samplers but people didn't seek out music based on the sampler. As mentioned, current AI music is listening to…

    This is my first time using anything from Perplexity and I am liking this quite a bit. There seems to be such variance in the utility people find with these models. I think it is t…

    EXACTLY. I suspect there has been a decade long Three-card monte on the front end in that change is good because change keeps front end salary up. Personally, the sooner LLMs make …

    It all comes down to a religious faith in AGI or not. There can't be things that a human can program that AGI can not program or it is not "AGI". While I am never a true believer i…

    It is just very random. LLMs help me write a synthesizer using an odd synth technique in an obscure musical programming language with no problem, help me fix my broken linux system…

    I think you are not understanding how difficult it is for people with types of phobias about germs and illness. Imagine being obsessive compulsive about cleanliness and germs, then…

    I think the use cases are just too wide and varied. If someone made me the perfect DAW for my needs, it would be so narrow they would quickly go out of business. The DAW has to cov…

    Can't agree more. Might be the most crazy thing I have ever seen done in the browser. It actually demotivates me to work on music and motivates me to work on some web app ideas. I …

    You don't know this though with even a high probability. It is quite possible there is a cultural reaction against AI and that we enter a new human cultural golden age of human cre…

    The inflation rate is an index over a huge number of datasets. If a single stock I own that is in the S&P 500 has a bad year while the S&P 500 index still goes up it doesn't mean t…

    I have thought a lot about this and it is why I think remote is doomed long term at the mass market because of a type of scaling property. I am much more productive working remote.…

    How about mind your own business? The main problem to me is everyone wants to tell everyone else what to do "for the good of society" but over my lifetime this has been a slow acti…

    We take the affordability completely for granted also. It looks like in the 70s a flight from NY to LA was $1000 USD adjusted for inflation. My grandfather took a flight one time i…

    IMO it was just the strongest model for awhile for programming. It got the answers right more often than not. It is faster than the reasoning/chain of thought models. With current …

    I would be pretty shocked if the Anthropic reasoning model is not mind blowing and doesn't take the lead back.

    At this point I think it is because of a type of religious sentimentality about the sanctity of human reasoning. To take your analogy even further, it is like asking when is the pl…

    This app is as interesting as Pollocks's art. A few moments of "interesting" then you close the browser and move on.

    I think it probably correlates with low openness. If you are low in openness, I could see psychedelics having long lasting effects on a person's personality. I have never found the…

    In most US states you would certainly not want to get caught by law enforcement with 99 grams of mushrooms. $3,500 seems like they are catering towards an upper class customer with…
