Creating an account just to hate on a company trying to shake up a monolithic and user-predatory product space is just sad.

Its app is really nice and native, though. That, along with a decent interest rate, is why I use it.

> If you choose to write your website in NodeJS, you just spent one of your innovation tokens.

Is NodeJS still considered on the same level of "unknown" / "not-boring" technology as the others listed? By my reckoning it is plenty mature enough to be considered a "boring" choice, and going for bun would be spending and innovation token.

That is the primary issue, and secondarily it is a cookie-cutter AI slopfest that will make any technical person not submerged in Kool-Aid click away.

Please just get your AI to follow some basic UI best practices or pick up a UI library.

What sorts of things are you writing into your markdown file? After 3.5 years of uni I still don't know how or why to take proper notes to enhance my learning.

I have always preferred the result of getting an LLM to draw an svg or make a procedural animation like this to the uncanny hyper-realistic result of diffusion image/video generation.

If calling them intelligent makes you uncomfortable, perhaps you can concede that they can solve problems which previous machines relied on external intelligence for? I think this is irrefutably true, and is the practical question that matters.

> None of the progress in LLMs or ANNs gets us any closer to making a robot as smart as a cockroach.

Can you explain this a bit more? As far as I can see, the only barrier to making an artificial cockroach of superior intelligence even at the current state of LLM technology is a mechatronics and miniaturisation problem. I think you would be hard pressed to design a problem that a cockroach can solve but Claude cannot.

Personally I don't think I'm ready to hand over total access to my digital life until I can self-host the model capable enough to act on it, but either way there is definitely some cool work to be done in the model harnesses for this.

I don't mean to downplay your work, but I think you should come up with a better example use case. Automating away interactions with friends is pretty much the last thing I want AI to do.

They have Apple Card so presumably they are capable of providing financial services like loans on their own, why bring in a third party who will take a cut and force your consumers onto their app with a bad reputation?

Then yeah, I would say you're right that plan users don't, probably for the best.

Among many other things, the Trump presidencies (and, to a lesser extent, the presidency between them) are examples of the the highest levels of leadership being totally incompetent, and have destroyed the above assumption for the rest of the world.
