You’re right it’s bad that they shut down. Does make me wonder about the use of “traitors” since I don’t think tiktok could ever have been considered on the side of the people.

I hope these events result in better lives for Indonesians.

This is helpful, thanks.

You’re right. But the headline is “the days of custom android ROMs are numbered”

After reading the article seems like a sensationalized headline. One of the major ROMs is on hiatus and may never return. And the process of installing custom ROMs is challenging. Not good, frustrating, but different than “soon no one will be able to do this”

I think the main thing is even if they were using the same underlying model (like chatgpt or Claude), they give them different prompts. For example, the one you linked seems more clearly prompted to give you a humorous roast style summary. Just from the screenshot from Reddit I get the impression they gave it a prompt about “you are an assistant for community moderators who are evaluating what course to take with a user” or something like that.

To be clear, the link you’re sharing is not what reddit is using

This is a good post.

Thinking about it some more, I don’t necessarily mind if someone said “I googled it and…” then provides some self generated summary of what they found which is relevant to the discussion.

I wouldn’t mind if someone did the same with an LLM response. But just like I don’t want to read a copy and paste of chatgpt results I don’t want to read someone copy/pasting search results with no human analysis.

Please let the US follow Brazil and South Korea

Pretty concerning that a “western democracy” is doing this, because it gives cover for the next one and the next one.

It’s easy to say “oh I’ll just stop using such and such a service” but what happens when there are no more legal services to switch to?

You should watch the documentary “Under the Sun”. North Korea agreed to let the director film with the understanding he would follow their directions, almost to the point of following a script. However he secretly kept filming. It’s pretty fascinating. https://imdb.com/title/tt5129818/

You know it’s not strictly auto completing sentences that previously existed, right? It’s using words that it anticipates should follow others. I’ve had it suggest code libraries that don’t exist, and you’ll hear about people going to the library to ask for books that haven’t been written but supposedly by real authors, and it sounds like something they would write.

Tab music notation is super common, and although it wasn’t supported by this particular service before, you could see where it might be the sort of request people make, and so chatgpt combined the two.

He’s a shit show, but SpaceX is still doing great. They have more launches per year than any other company or country. While they’ve had multiple launches explode recently, that’s their newer larger rocket where they’re still working out kinks.

If they can’t get that into shape eventually it could be a problem for the company, but their smaller rocket has a great record, reusable, a fraction of the cost of any other launch provider. Right now they’re the only game in town for the U.S. getting to the ISS.

I’d love to see Musk ousted, and more importantly to see real competition from other private launch providers. But don’t let Musk hate color your view of reality.

Even if you didn’t read the article, the op helpfully included the first few lines, which say that although Honda had said they were studying rocket technology, they made no announcements about this launch until it had already occurred.

I think you’re misunderstanding the argument. I haven’t seen people here saying that the study was incorrect so far as it goes, or that AI is equal to human intelligence. But it does seem like it has a kind of intelligence. “Glorified auto complete” doesn’t seem sufficient, because it has a completely different quality from any past tool. Supposing yes, on a technical level the software pieces together probability based on overtraining. Can we say with any precision how the human mind stores information and how it creates intelligence? Maybe we’re stumbling down the right path but need further innovations.

Agreed. We don’t seem to have a very cohesive idea of what human consciousness is or how it works.

Other people replied, but to rephrase: the USB will not work with a car, and there will never be an adapter that will allow it to.

Instead you need a way to send the audio from the ipod headphone jack into your car stereo. Something like this.

It’s from the show “I think you should leave.” There’s a sketch where someone has crashed a weinermobile into a storefront, and bystanders are like “did anyone get hurt?” “What happened to the driver?” And then this guy shows up.

Interesting article for a few reasons. I didn’t realize how much Pakistan was reliant on Chinese military systems.

Very challenging situation. To me seems like the thing to focus on is lack of electoral legitimacy. Maybe I’m using the wrong frame of reference coming from a larger country, but $8 million a year for a country’s leadership expenses doesn’t seem overly expensive. But I do understand being mad to spend any money on people who haven’t been chosen by the country’s citizens.
