2026 hyundai is fine but is nothing special. Hyundai kona actually has an insane amount of physical buttons, around 50

if it makes you feel better you are supporting American automakers and American workers when you buy tesla - has helped a lot of people swallow the musk pill when buying one

cannabis is harder to quit because it doesn't have that "it's killing you" aspect to it - but staying in bed and playing video games can kill in a different way! Still better than drinking heavily though

I feel by your logic, no one should ever use drugs or alcohol lest they become addicted to how good they make them feel. An abstinence approach. very modern!

people rarely compare cannabis to fentanyl they normally compare it to alcohol and tobacco...

what if they improve the model and fix such errors? by writing off now you will take finger off pulse of our great vibrating ai lords

funnily enough for me, Fable 5 was much better at refactoring my large codebase than Opus 4.8 was - perhaps the scope of Fable is very great

what is happening is that the gap between what the experts and AI know is getting smaller each year. this year sure radiologists are mocking AI's ability to interpret MRI results, but they are a lot better at that this year than last. In five years perhaps radiologists will truly appreciate AI, but I am not holding my breath because radiologists are notoriously slow to adapt to changes in medical science compared to other specialists like anesthesiologists or surgeons

just want to clarify it's not Peppa Pig himself who will be paying the royalties but the production company for the show.

> Can our sci-fi writers come up with something equivalent

No, because reality is always stranger than fiction

This author is way too wordy and spends too much time with flowery prose when he should be getting to his weird, highly idiosyncratic point

Reminds me of the book of oxymorons I read when I was a kid: who ordered the Jumbo Shrimp?

Another moving the goalposts moment - "if only my seemingly magical constantly improving language machine could code a proper front-end" - 2026

"if only my seemingly magical constantly improving machine could craft an ion thrust engine from raw silica without fudging the wiring" - 2036

Books were already losing the fight on road trips once the gameboy came out - I can't imagine what having every movie, tv show, and song in a flashing touchscreen connected to the internet, why would I pick up a book that takes so much work to deliver fun when I can play AstroBlasters and watch tiktoks of war crimes
