I would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.

I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.

These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

I’m. So. Reassured.

What prevents them from getting bigger and doing the same thing. This cycle of sadomasochism needs to stop at the root cause.

Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.

I also tried DuckDuckGo.

Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway

It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

Self-cleaning genes in the pool though? 😝

That is definitely how I read it.

History can’t just be ‘rewritten’ by A.I. and taken as truth. That’s fucking stupid.

BBC said they (Israel) wrote:

But in a post on X early on Monday, the Israeli foreign ministry said: "While Greta and others attempted to stage a media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity - and which included less than a single truckload of aid - more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks, and in addition, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed close to 11 million meals directly to civilians in Gaza. “There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip - they do not involve Instagram selfies.”

Wow. What a prick.

Agreed. It’s disgusting.

Grandpa had one. But it was welded shut at the handle and the bottom had a big hole in it so you could see inside!

Better safe than sorry. Especially if it wasn’t expected to be there in the first place.

Uhm. Look at the video? The ship is literally going backwards. They don’t like, DRIVE it into the bridge going the wrong way. Mechanical/power failure apparently, and the current pulled it.

Or* it was just a smidge too early. Things are much safer now from what I understand.

Sounds like it worked, and now the conservatives are mad and trying to punish?

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

We did this when I was between 7-9 years. Once they had us line up on one side, and we could only cross the room, using those. Some tried to push and got ‘stranded’ between. One kid, put one in front of the other then swapped. Then again. Using two to cross. Soon many were trying to. I still remember this decades later 😁

I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.

It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

I just saw this movie.
