Thanks for sharing. Although I’m an enthusiastic open source user, I haven’t written any code of significance, so I’m not aware: has anyone made a license where use is restricted to individuals and democratically controlled organizations? I’m picturing that would allow for some degree of profit motive while encouraging things like worker co-ops and excluding venture capital controlled entities.

Well, if you really wanted perfect intonation the best way would be to completely preprogram all the notes using software and remove the live performance by a human part.

Not saying I have a lot of everyday need for a theremin but I think it’s a pretty cool instrument.

I don’t care what Shrek thinks

Funny you say that because at the end of the article she talks about how they are definitely not implementing an AI chatbot and calls out some other companies that have.

Sorry friend, but if someone is asking a question, telling them to read about it rather than provide the meat of the answer doesn’t seem too helpful.

You’re under no obligation to explain anything to anyone, but if you’re going to take the time to respond why not elaborate?

I don’t get my hair cut that frequently, but to each their own. This was downvoted to zero when I found it, I like to imagine one of the “six months” or “never” guys were responsible.

Yeah, I used to go to a place where they’d schedule me out based on three weeks, which I liked better, but now this new place leaves it to me to remember and schedule myself. I don’t remember, so it’s closer to 4-5 weeks.

It’s news to me. Do you have any further reading about it you can share?

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.

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

I believe you’re thinking of Lauren Boebert. At least the movie theater thing. I don’t know what you’re talking about re: Ted Cruz

Glad to see my people in the comments

It’s not just the US. It’s pretty much every country with a high standard of living.

Right, but we could have the same number of people while being ecologically sustainable. The problem seems like more one of distribution and technology, not total number of people. And besides, what’s the alternative? So I think it’s ok to say it’s a good thing the population outlook is downward while recognizing we’ve still got problems

I could be mistaken but based on recent demographic trends I don’t think people are talking about overpopulation much these days. Seems to be a trend that industrialized countries population goes down. China is looking at falling below replacement rate. Of course there’s the argument that we already have too many people, but if everyone starts going down then hey problem solved

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

Besides the other commenter highlighting the specific nature of the linked study, I will say I’m generally doing technical queries where if the answer is wrong, it’s apparent because the AI suggestion doesn’t work. Think “how do I change this setting” or “what’s wrong with the syntax in this line of code”. If I try the AI’s advice and it doesn’t work, then I ask again or try something else.

I would be more concerned about subjects where I don’t have any domain knowledge whatsoever, and not working on a specific application of knowledge, because then it could be a long while before I realize the response was wrong.
