LLMs enable amplified automation. Example: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.13.25329541v...

At my company, we use LLMs for financial analysis that previously required hundreds of employees, and that work would have been inferior anyway because it's so hard to make so many people to communicate well to identify correlations.

Look into the app Little Snitch. It's fantastic! https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html

I'm unaffiliated with the owners.

I would say it's not about the cost, but possible permanent injuries

You can use an app like Duet or other apps like these.

I don't understand why my MacBook doesn't have a touchscreen. I'm switching to an iPad Pro tomorrow. I use Superwhisper to talk to it 90% of the time anyway.

I'd rather take my $1M a year small company than cut-throat $10M a year revenue with VC funding any day.

so this: "You can raise you personal "taxes" and provide for you father if you so desire." was just a non sequitur

I have used Em-dashes in many of my comments for years. It's just a result of reading books, where Em-dashes happen a lot.

Yes, they did on Google Cloud:

"Custom Search JSON API: The primary solution offered by Google is the Custom Search JSON API. This API allows you to create a customized search engine that can search a collection of specified websites. While it's not a direct equivalent to a full-fledged Google Search API, it can be configured to search the entire web."

In my experience it's essentially the same as Google Search if configured properly.

100% yes. My father is 67, and to be honest, he really shouldn't be working anymore. Both physically and mentally. And he is not very sick or disabled in any way. He just doesn't have the same capacity as he had in his 50s so after a 9-5 he was just recovering and going to sleep for the last few years. Terrible.

He retired last year. He didn't have an easy life. Very few jobs would benefit from his work and continuing working would have a great toll on him.

It's shocking how people are putting him down for the OP interview with just a couple of questions in 2023. The dude was 94 years old. I also did not predict where we would be in 2025 with LLMs. And neither did you. (When I say you, I mean some of the other commenters.)

Are we seriously saying that his ideas are not taken seriously? his theory of grammar/language construction was a major contributor to modern programming languages, for one.
