In my city we have bridges like this that go up and down dozens of times a day.

If it’s a choice, then who gets to make that choice? Certainly not the individual. I don’t remember getting to choose anything of the sort. If you say it’s society that makes the choice, how does that work exactly? Through democracy and governance? Well then society did make the choice. Are you then complaining that the choice society made is not the one you prefer? From the perspective of the individual, it’s not a choice at all.

How much of it has to be AI for it to count as AI music? If a human wrote all the lyrics, does it fall somewhere along the “AI music spectrum”, as it were? And where does the cutoff lie?

> Michael Tipton described this sequence in 1989, and it has not really changed since

How exactly could the human body’s response to cold water shock change since 1989?

> This is how strong pool swimmers drown ten meters from a boat.

They drown 10 meters from the boat when they first hit the cold water? Did they jump 10 meters?

As you noted briefly, a big drawback is not getting to take advantage of the cache. Seems like a pretty big drawback.

I wonder how the plumbing worked for the bathroom in his private office at the top of the tower.

If you’re not an AI yourself it’s weird how you’re so offended by this stuff.

How is conceptualizing what the model is doing as having a conversation any different from any other abstraction? “No, the browser isn’t downloading a file. The electrons in the silicon are actually…”

This kind of thinking denies the humans in question any agency over their own lives. You’re essentially asking for a word government and a planned economy. Does it suck that more resources aren’t funneled into cancer research and other noble pursuits? Yes. But planned economies haven’t cured cancer, and are not likely to, despite denying their people the agency to live their lives as they choose.

I tell claude code “review the comments on this PR” and give it the url, and that’s enough. It then uses the gh cli tool and fetches the PR and individual comments.
