One day we are going to have flying broomsticks and I cannot wait. Hopefully I wont be 90 years old though
Vonaut makes speeder bikes, and there's a YouTuber that's made a lightsaber.
Gonna cost you a lot of money though.
Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter

#92This is soooo incredibly cool. Beyond the Tom Riddle diary aspect, I love the idea of this as a new medium for interacting with an LLM. You could gift it to someone and they could just write naturally, their thoughts, questions, notes, and get responses back without typing or speaking. It feels less like a chatbot and more like a journal you can communicate through. You could give it a personality and all.
I mean no offense, but it's kind of crazy that people think that linking handwriting recognition, a technology that was first rolled out 24 years ago in Windows XP, with an LLM is "soooo incredibly cool". I don't get it.
What really irks me about it is that the palm pilot I had 20+ years ago actually had BETTER hand writing recognition than the software on my devices today!

#93I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)
That explains why the video was posted on X

thanks! Now having seen the video, certainly not as cool as it sounds.
What did you expect?
For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.

#95This is one of those ideas that would really benefit from a short video demo, gif, or even a screenshot directly in the README. Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. [0] [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/15hcc4x/c...
There's a video if you click around... https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?s=20
I kindly request people do not link to Twitter. I don’t have an account and won’t make one to see a video clip.

#96This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word. I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now. There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week. We are not in the slow times anymore.
If a team takes a week to change the color of a button... is not because changing the code is hard.
Were you the PM on those project btw?

At least we're giving out free verification cans

#98If Fable can now create horcruxes, the Commerce Department should seriously consider another time out.
yeah, and might as well ban Chinese models too for safety since they can do the same.

Why would that comparison be bad if it's accurate? Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.
It’s not accurate, it’s absurd hyperbole no different from the kind the people who peddle it have arrogantly ridiculed their entire lives. A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.
You think mental instability is a necessary prerequisite for covert persuasion?

#100Ironically, Tom Riddle's diary encouraging kids to commit suicide [1] and then showing them how to do it would be more on brand than the version in the books. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots#Suic...
Every AI would refuse the prompt. I was banned for researching Nordic assisted death and asking which drug exactly they administered (and what quantity). Claude refused, alerted Anthropic, and I was banned a couple days later. Thankfully the appeal form worked, but by then I was using a different Claude account praying they didn’t ban me again. There’s an uncensored model floating around that you can run locally with…
For a dash of dystopia: Imagine a company starts using that same LLM fuzzy-matching [0] against what you intend to be normal search activity, to detect "bad" queries and "bad" users who will be blocked. Maybe they'll delete your SSO/email/videos/photos too, who knows.
I can easily imagine it happening, especially after some point where they start using the same systems to "enhance" your query.
[0] To be specific, your searches will be placed into a narrative document template, where a character Mr. Safety Bot is about to speak a verdict, and then the LLM story-generator decides whether it "fits" for Mr. Safety Bot to declare you banned.
