I think a big part of the reason is that there is only one wireless option -Bluetooth- and it is a terrible product from a user experience perspective. It's 2026 and I still can't move through my world with earbuds in without my audio randomly switching to my wife's car in the driveway or our Bluetooth speaker that is on upstairs.
From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense that the body would explore all possible ways to increase intelligence, with neurons located anywhere in the body and with chemical in addition to electric signals. It's not like a car or something that was designed with specific functions for specific components.
The title is disgusting click bait with the hopes to falsely make the reader believe that Solar covered 61% of the total annual power need and not just the YoY delta.
My thought as well. Nuclear weapons are also horrifying.
And with LLMs, it's difficult to prevent the proliferation to bad actors.
It seems like we're racing towards a world of fakery where nothing can be believed, even when wielded by good actors. I really hope LLMs can actually add value at a significant level.
"artificial intelligence recursively improving itself until we become subservient to it."
Hmm, the cultural zeitgeist is about LLMs.
Are LLMs improving anything (in the sense of optimization)? I think LLMs are enabling us to automate tasks which are tedious and don't really add value (eg, compliance tasks). And they are helping us create art, content, and ads. I'm not aware of LLMs optimizing systems, let alone themselves. But I'm not very tuned in to all the applications.
That's fantastic. It used to be you had to restart the whole PC after a driver update.
If someone could do this for the Web Browser, I could see that potentially being a strong enough feature for users to switch from say Chrome to Firefox. "Never need to close your tabs with In Place Updates."
I know and at my company we actually cannot disable the AI suggestions :(
It's like dealing with a pathological liar who produces very convincing looking code for me to review, but actually there is a bug in it 50% of the time. It's like it's trying to trick me into committing bugs.
That's true art, I love people like you. Technology can do a lot of things but it cannot give people or society principles, and without principles society fails.
Heh, when I see a spelling error in a news article.. I oddly feel like I can trust it more because it came from a human being. It's like a nugget of gold.
+1, and to put more simply, AI as we know it today makes zero guarantees about its accuracy. That's pretty insane for a "tool" to make no guarantees about being correct in any way for any purpose.
A spellchecker makes guarantees about accuracy. So does a calculator. Broad, sweeping guarantees.
Imagine if we built a tool that could automatically do all the electrical work in a new home from the breaker box to every outlet, and it could do it in 2 hours. However, what if that tool made no guarantees about its ability to meet electrical code? Would people use it anyway? Of course they would. Many dangerous errors would slip through inspection and many more house fires would ensue as a result.
