I never said anything of the sort. You just seemed to be on a strict timeline. Have a nice day and good luck.

I think this is why I grasp on to strength training and fitness as one of my main hobbies. There is no current shortcut other than steroids but even then you still need to put in the effort. If I stop, I can feel and see my body atrophy, my stress levels rise, my energy going down, etc. You need to keep learning and adjusting to make progress. You can definitely nerd out about it if you want. And it provides the dopamine rush after a tough workout and looking back and seeing my progress. It helps me connect with my body since I’m in my head all day. It’s also a primal and human activity that has nothing to do with AI.

Their latest move is calling it an AI company. Good luck everyone.

All of this is in your head and projection, especially the part about others being creepy. You think sex and nudity is creepy and people are arguing for easier access to being extra creepy. That’s on you, but your judgments on others is not a healthy truth.

Yeah it’s certainly not safe for work. Should it be? I mean, ideally yes. In practice? Hell no. I don’t need Karen from accounting coming up with her own reasons why I’m looking at a naked pregnant lady even though I know there is nothing wrong with it.

I guess we’re overdue for another satanic panic style crusade from people who live in fear and use children as their shield.

You might want to rethink your perceived timeline for how sexuality works in practice for teenagers if you’re waiting to talk to them on schedule. Source: was a teenager.

You obviously didn’t read their article then because they already made your point in a following sentence.

Go ahead and see with your own eyes what a lot of HN commenters really think about other humans. It’s pretty plain to see and very sad. They’re the folks flagging everything.

You’re confusing me here. The hospitals are overloaded with learners but there aren’t enough graduates?

In other words, it’s a cult stock.

Teslas are unaffordable for the average American as well. Assuming we consider buried in debt for 5+ years unaffordable.

Discord is definitely under profit pressure and it’s starting to show. Their app spies what programs you’re running and you can’t turn it off, you can only stop announcing what you’re doing to your friends but it’s on by default. It’s a privacy nightmare. “You’re missing out on our overlay” nags appear with you start playing a game, etc. Nags to visit their shop. Is the start of a trend. Of course people here on HN will defend these practices. “Just use the web app”, “they’re harmless cosmetics” etc.

Reddit definitely feels homogenous to me. Yes I know, smaller subreddits etc etc, but it’s built on the same engagement infrastructure that is the basis for so much of the modern internet.

I highly doubt the 25 and younger crowd are using Facebook. At least none a I’ve ever spoken to use it unless they are there to respond to their parents’ posts.

An important devtool was blocked at one point because an agent had another AI agent code review its changes and it saw nothing wrong with an obvious bug. Whoever set up that experiment was a real genius.

As you can see from the other commenters on here, any perceived limitation is no longer the fault of the LLM. So where we go from here is gaslighting. Never mind that the LLM should be good at refactoring, you need to keep doing that for it until it works you see. Or the classic you’re prompting it wrong, etc.

There are a lot of comments here illustrating this. People are looking at the illusion and equating it with sentience because they really want it to be true. “This is not different than how humans think” is held by quite a few HN commenters.

The language points to concepts in the world that AI has no clue about. You think when the AI is giving someone advice about their love life it has any clue what any of that means?

Sorry, but that sounds just like the thought process the other commenter was pointing out. It’s a lot of filling in the gaps with what you want to be true.
