As long as it's helping them be productive, I don't really see an issue with that. Going from doing nothing to doing something is a net boost.

But it’s not helping them “be productive” (which is a horrible metric anyway, life is not about productivity above everything else), it’s sucking their lives and severing their relationships and connection to the real world. https://archive.ph/20250924025805/https://www.nytimes.com/20... https://archive.is/26aHF

Those are chatbots and those issues are not akrasia. We're talking about very different things in multiple dimensions.

Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats and what not that lets them surface context-rich updates naturally. OpenAI doesn't have that same ecosystem lock-in yet, so to really compete they'll need to get more into those integrations. I think what it comes down to ultimately is that being "just a model" company isn't going to work. Intelligence itself will go to z…

I have Gmail and Google calendar etc but haven’t seen any AI features pop up that would be useful to me, am I living under a rock or is Google not capitalising on this advantage properly?

I've recently used the AI integration for Google Drive. Was really quite handy to get eg my passport number as a copy-and-paste-able string directly instead of having to find my scan of the document and then typing it by hand.

Code is probably just 20% effort. There is so much more after that. Like manage the infra around it and the reliability when it scales, and even things like managing SPAM and preventing abuse. And the effort required to market it and make it something people want to adopt.

Those are still largely code-able. You can write Ansible files, deploy AWS (mostly) via the shell, write rules for spam filtering and administration... Google has had all of that largely automated for a long time now.

We haven't written rules for spam filtering in a while now: it's been a successful machine learning problem for ages.

Cancel culture is censorship?

One of those involves fulltime professionals backed by state violence and the other is when people on social media are mad at you.

> when people on social media are mad at you

It's about more than that - many people have lost their jobs, been de-banked, or even been arrested (especially in countries like the UK and Germany) for expressing their opinion publicly when that opinion was merely (a) what most people in their country believed in the recent past (< 50 years ago), and (b) a politically incorrect opinion.

he's been dead for a decade so I doubt he now wants the meaning to be anything. besides that he also never said anything about cancel culture he said it's about how tv turns you into a moron. https://www.openculture.com/2017/08/ray-bradbury-reveals-the...

Political correctness is the real enemy these days. The black groups want to control our thinking and you can't say certain things. The homosexual groups don't want you to criticize them.

Cancel culture is vigilante political correctness.

Next comes legalized, then deputized, then militarized...
