This is going to be controversial, but I feel that ChatGPT has improved my life.

Also e-bikes, 3D printers, and wireless earbuds really took off in the last ten years. Some of these were invented more than 10 years ago but saw significant improvements that brought them into the mainstream.

Nearly every major newspaper company is actively suing AI companies over copyright infringement. They have been quite outspoken that they see Google's AI overviews as an existential threat to their business.

And we're not 'oppressing' fent addicts by arresting them when they pass out on the sidewalk in front of my apartment. They are causing a problem for the rest of society that we now have to deal with. That's why we do the war on drugs.

It parses the LLM output for tool calls, executes the command, and puts the output back into the LLM input. That's all there is to it.

If you are out there using e.g some experimental cancer drug that hasn't been FDA approved yet, the DEA isn't going to stop you. Their mission is to stop recreational use of drugs that get you high.

The DEA is a law enforcement agency that aims to fight illegal drug trafficking. the FDA is regulatory agency that aims to ensure the food and medicine legally sold in the US is safe.

Voters tend to get what they want, and a sizeable fraction of voters smoke or drink.

The FDA can say you can't sell it as a supplement or food. But they can't stop you from possessing it or selling it as a chemical.

When the DEA schedules it, it is illegal to possess or sell in any capacity.

Not the issue. Per the ruling even if their AI was open they still couldn't have the trademark.

The only people naming something "OpenAI" are going to be trying to trick you into downloading their scammy chatGPT clone.

What will harm consumers is the scammy "OpenAI" chat app that I can now legally upload to app stores in the EU, in hopes of tricking people into thinking it's a genuine app.

American Airlines for example is indeed just an American airline. The Container Store, Vision Center, General Motors, International business machines (IBM), the list goes on.

Even Microsoft is just a contraction of their original product, microcomputer software.

An automatic proof solver doesn't make mathematicians obsolete any more than the excel sheet made accountants obsolete.

They didn't stop after the first guy died? Or the tenth? Guy #11 just looked at the pile of corpses and was like, hell yeah I'm gonna try next?

And where's the video? Terrorist groups love propaganda footage, if they were doing motorcycle stunts like Evel Knievel they'd be bragging about it everywhere.

That said, looking around my office, I don't think it's very effective. It's hard to get people to exercise and a few hundred bucks doesn't change that.
