Thanks for the breakdown from across the pond.

One more upvote for aegis

I just change it to reader-mode

I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.

Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can’t be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can’t use Google or Facebook

My uneducated guess is that they need AI-related features to sell more units and this was one that seemed useful for consumers. They were mistaken, but that’s my thought process. I use Linux so I’m viewing things indifferent on this end

If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else

With OpenAI’s latest release, it’s becoming apparent that AGI is looming and it would cause OpenAI to end its partnership w/ MSFT IIRC

More like the Overton Window at work actually.

Biden will likely end up as one of the top 5 most progressive presidents ever. Society expects more from Democrats than they would’ve previously. There’s nothing wrong w/ that, but the argument being presented seems misguided and like both sides nihilism.

Cannot recall. Just remember that texts/calls were impossible so I couldn’t link up w/ people I was looking for.

RIP. Hope that his whistleblowing doesn’t end up falling on deaf ears

I popped and locked back in the day and can do the wave w/ my arms. I end up doing it on like 80% of first dates that are going well.

Nothing like some crowdsourced help to fine-tune the google search for your kink.

Same. I’m on Debian tho so I’ve got ~6 months until it affects me :D

I can’t speak to 5G but my Mint 4G service was non-existent when I was at a concert. It was otherwise great the other 99.99% of the time fwiw. Been a user for ~7 years

The author from the article did. It’s a bit of a stretch as are the last 2-3 pieces of the list 🤷🏾‍♂️. The first few are still pretty big.

Reading books in the elevator got me a promotion from working in the call center -> becoming an analyst. Changed my life trajectory. The VP of Finance saw the books I was reading, we had a brief convo and then he offered me a job the next week.

Second most interesting one is I bought $180 worth of option calls on Heinz Ketchup, and then they randomly got bought out by Warren Buffett. I think it was a total of $28k in profits at a time when I was making maybe 30-40k/year

Is super-intellignence smarter than all humans? I think where we stand now, LLMs are already smarter than the average human while lagging behind experts w/ specialized knowledge, no?

Do you have an example of human intelligence that doesn’t rely on pattern recognition through previous experience?

At what point do you think that your opinion on AI trumps the papers and studies of researchers in those fields?

Respectfully, none of the aforementioned examples are simple, or else humans wouldn’t have needed to leverage AI to make such substantial progress in less than 2 years.
