Just to be the devil’s advocate here: There are way more settings now than back then. That interface wouldn’t cut it either.

Drinking too hard is when you accidentally swallow too much at the same time, painfully forcing it down. I fainted once by doing this…

There’s a new Black Mirror episode about a brain implant that randomly injects ads into conversation without the consent or knowledge of the “user”.

I recommend a Firefox extension called DeArrow, it replaces all the thumbnails and titles to be less clickbaity.

I looked through you comment history. It’s impressive how many times you repeat this mantra and while people fownvote you and correct you on bad faith, you keep doing it.

Why? I think you have a hard time realizing that people may have another definition of AI than you. If you don’t agree with thier version, you should still be open to that possibility. Just spewing out your take doesn’t help anyone.

For me, AI is a broad gield of maths, including ALL of Machine Learning but also other fields, such as simple if/else programming to solve a very specific task to “smarter” problem solving algorithms such as pathfinding or other atatistical methods for solving more data-heavy problems.

Machine Learning has become a huge field (again all of it inside the field of AI). A small but growing part of ML is LLM, which we are talking about in this thread.

All of the above is AI. None of it is AGI - yet.

You could change all of your future comments to “None of this is “AGI”” in order to be more clear. I guess that wouldn’t trigger people as much though…

That would quickly devolve into a lazy “Melah”

You can’t spell melon without Elon, as the saying goes.

I think it’s only cringe though, when you try being something/someone you are not. Just “trying” something isn’t cringe in itself.

If I went to a skate park and tried to learn the skateboard I would definitely suck but it wouldn’t be cringe, imagine a middle aged man with knee protection falling on his ass.

It would be cringe if I went there all dressed up in the latest skate fashion trying to blend in with the cool kids, throwing some skate jargon around.

Seems like a very US-problem.

It’s problematic at least. The Communist party is also banned in Germany.

I’m definitely not saying Le Pen is innocent.

Navalny was found guilty of multiple crimes. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/04/russian-court-extends-alexei-navalny-sentence-in-penal-colony

Being charged a criminal is subject to the court system and if that ever gets corrupted, democracy is over.

Many people here say that it’s not the same in France; that the French court system has no evidence of corruption. I agree. I prefer to have laws in place before they are needed, rather than too late.

It just changes the user agent instead…

I disagree. The angle of the sun is not a human invention. Trying to invent something from scratch based on that, I would definitely mark one time as “the darkest” and another “the lightest”.

I agree that hours, and therefore date lines and time zones are completely arbitrary though.

If we didn’t have hours we’d still need a way to group times by geographic or political regions; my example above still needs to handle the “lightest where?” question.

I think my conclusion is that organizing people and societies is arbitrary by nature.

It would be neater though to try to make midnight and mid day the basis for which we measure time. Stepping off of that makes it even more arbitrary.

Finally someone who actually wants a debate.

I agree that it’s not a problem until it is a problem. I think we differ in the way we are vigilant about defending the core of democracy.

Open elections, free speech and free press are very important to defend, even if you happen to dislike the person in question. I’d rather defend free speech of a person I hate than slowly carving away at it, one “victory” at a time. If one person doesn’t have free speech, there is no free speech left.

I see it the same with elections. If anyone can be barred from running in an election, the election isn’t open anymore.

I don’t see it as skeptical versus cynical. Maybe in your eyes. What I’ve seen lately though is that democracy can be over very quickly, or in a way that no one can stop, even if you can see the signs. Look at USA right now, it’s been going down hill for a while now but most people are realizing too late to do anything.

I’m not here to discuss France or their politics because I know nothing about it, nor about Le Pen. People seem to go very much into “it’s fine for now in France”.

It’s fine until it isn’t.

Very mature

LLM is a subset of ML, which is a subset of AI.
