it's not a bullshit machine because its output is bad, it's a bullshit machine because its output is literally 'bullshit' as in, output that is statistically likely but with no factual or reasoning basis. as the models have improved, their bullshit is more statistically likely to sound coherent (maybe even more likely to be 'accurate'), but no more factual and with no more reasoning.

I don't know. Which wing, and what's an example of the suppression they did openly?

I watched the video and immediately tested it on my iphone. It's true?? About 50% of the time, typing "Thumb" resulted in "Thimb" or "Thjmb", while the visual feedback on the keyboard showed u being pressed instead!

Other comments here say Predictive Text is the culprit, but I already had that off. I also turned off Slide to Type. Same result.

Do you think that LLMs are not biased / less biased than humans?

> Being able to fire employees is a great use of AI and should not be restricted.

Can you elaborate on this?

I'm glad Tesla is pivoting to a product that can drop your bag of groceries in the worst case, instead of one that can slam you into a concrete divider at 75mph.

This is the classic mistake all AI hypemen make by assuming code is an asset, like crops. Code is a liability and you must produce as little of it as possible to solve your problem.

Is this some kind of copypasted AI output? There are unformatted footnote numbers at the end of many sentences.

Spotify has a history of intentionally boosting internally produced, royalty-free and/or AI music over actual artists.

That's not "generating" the music with AI - that's isolating the tracks of existing music. Probably not generative AI at all, and depending on who you ask, not even AI.

This is why it is to these generative AI companies' benefit that 'AI' becomes a catchall term for everything, from what enemies are programmed to do in video games to a spambot that creates and uploads slop facebook videos on the hour.

onedrive app doesn't come preinstalled on your phone, or aggressively try to trick you into using it.

It is very funny to start your article off with a bunch of breathless headlines about agents replacing human coders by the end of 2025, none of which happened, then the rest of the article is "okay but this time for real, an agent really WILL replace human coders."

You don't have to go 'back' to find Palestinians alive, today, who can point at their settler-occupied homes on a map, and tell you the day they were kicked out. I think that's a reasonable cutoff point for right of return.

Please don't.

if you liked toribash, also check out Your Only Move Is Hustle (or YOMI hustle) which is similarly 'turn based' but in 2d. Closest thing I've found to playable Xiao Xiao.

especially if you have a custom domain with google workspace (or whatever it's named now). my switch to pointing my domain from google to proton was totally painless, you can migrate all your old emails, etc.

i imagine if you just have an @gmail.com it might be a little more annoying what with having to do forwarding, but still worth it.
