What problem does this solve. The silence is better. Reminds me of recommend engines in general. Or ads. Bothering my cognition with stuff I have to ignore.

Argue with it. Criticize it. Nitpick the questions it asked. Tell it what you just said: you just gave me a generic summary of the top 5 articles you'd get if you googled "how to fix depression, social anxiety" or something When you open the prompt the first time it has zero context on you . I'm not an LLM-utopist, but just like with a human therapist you need to give it more context. Even arguing with it is context.
I do, frequently, and ChatGPT in particular gets stuck in a loop where it specifically ignores whatever I write and repeats the same thing over and over again. To give a basic example, ask it to list some things and then ask it to provide more examples. It's gonna be immediately stuck in a loop and repeat the same thing over and over again. Maybe one of the 10 examples it gives you is different, but that's gonna be a…

Plenty of people open Reels or Tiktok the second they wake up. Mobile means notifications, and of you see one as soon as you turn off the alarm, you're more likely to open the app.
Do I have a problem if HN is the first thing I open?
LLMs are increasingly part of intimate conversations. That proximity lets them learn how to manipulate minds. We must stop treating humans as uniquely mysterious. An unfettered market for attention and persuasion will encourage people to willingly harm their own mental lives. Think social medias are bad now? Children exposed to personalized LLMs will grow up inside many tiny, tailored realities. In a decade we may me…
It doesn't have to be that way of course. You could envision an LLM whose "paperclip" is coaching you to become a great "xyz". Record every minute of your day, including your conversations. Feed it to the LLM. It gives feedback on what you did wrong, refuses to be your social outlet, and demands you demonstrate learning in the next day before it rewards with more attention. Basically, a fanatically devoted life coach…
Second, "the market" has never shown any tendency towards rewarding such a thing. The LLMs' development is driven by bonuses and stock prices, which is driven by how well the company can project FOMO and get people addicted to their products. This may well be a local optimum, but it will stay there, because the path towards your goal (which may not be a global optimum either) goes through loss, and that is very much against the culture of VCs and C suite.

Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen!
My pulse today is just a mediocre rehash of prior conversations I’ve had on the platform. I tried to ask GPT-5 pro the other day to just pick an ambitious project it wanted to work on, and I’d carry out whatever physical world tasks it needed me to, and all it did was just come up with project plans which were rehashes of my prior projects framed as its own. I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels…
> I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels like blockchain again in a lot of weird ways. It doesn't feel like blockchain at all. Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers). AI is a powerful tool for those who are willing to put in the work. People who have the time, knowledge and crit…

Given the prevailing trend of virtually all modern governments in the developed world that seems to be rather short-sighted. Who knows, if you won't be made a criminal for dissenting? Or for trying to keep your communication private?

GPT-4 got me seriously considering making a product for school-age kids w/ ADHD. It’d be a physical device (like a StarTrek communicator). That listens during your day and keeps track of a) things you say that you’ll do or b) tasks that other people ask you to do. Then it compiles those tasks and attempts to be basically a secretary. It can also plug into your email, texts & school assignments. The privacy implicatio…
Sure, the implications are horrifying, but tech companies have proven themselves quite trustworthy over the past few decades, so I'm sure it'd be fine. As someone with ADHD, I say: Please don't build this.

No it's not. It's existed for a thousand years in Asia through the hawala system. I mean, you need an intermediary. But with blockchain your intermediary is the exchange, the developers of the cryptocurrency, etc.
>with blockchain your intermediary is the exchange, the developers of the cryptocurrency, etc. You are mistaken. The transfer of cryptocurrencies takes place on the blockchain ledger. That's, like, the core "thing". If you choose to bank with an exchange, that's like you bringing your cash money to a regular bank and depositing it. And the developers are no more intermediaries to your transaction than the Mint is an…
1. Understand how to use the technology and onboard onto it. In this case the technology is whichever blockchain and cryptocurrency.
2. Convert their money into the cryptocurrency. For this they need an exchange.
Then they can send money to others who also went through those steps.
Thus, there must be some kind of interaction with documentation made by devs for step 1 and a transfer of currency to an exchange for step 2. 2 middlemen/intermediaries.
