It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.

If he was Epstein Netflix would have written off the money and given him some c-suite no-show job to keep him quiet.

True, I can’t imagine buying a used Tesla knowing that I’d still have to make monthly payments to keep some features.

I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a jailbreak community that completely replaces the Tesla OS with something else.

The article should just be “This Guy” followed by photos of Elon doing his thing for the last year or so.

I’ll have to check out Swindled. +1 for 404 Media and Better Offline.

You can always listen to the weekly omnibus episode that only has ad breaks between each full segment. Or get good with your skip forward button.

Yeah, he has the ability to articulate what I was already thinking about LLMs and bring in hard data to back up his thesis that it’s all bullshit. Dangerous and expensive bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

It’s really sad that his willingness to say the tech industry is full of shit is such an unusual attribute in the tech journalism world.

Hey, he’s from my neck of the woods! Sadly because of gerrymandering he’s not my rep but I’m still super happy he’s in congress.

It’s…not shocking exactly, but a little surprising and a lot disappointing that so much of finance is now targeted at “let’s make a thing that we read about in sci fi novels we read as kids.”

Focusing on STEM and not the humanities means we have a bunch of engineers who think “book thing cool” and have zero understanding of how allegory works.

Regarding extensions, my understanding is that Apple makes it hard to prevent a bunch of trash extensions showing up that don’t do anything worthwhile.

The first message I got I asked if I knew them and got zero response.

Hold them in contempt. Put them in jail for a few days, then declare a mistrial due to incompetent counsel. For repeat offenders, file a formal complaint to the state bar.

The issue isn’t messaging, the issue is policies. Democrats don’t have policy prescriptions that do anything for the majority of people. If Harris and every democrat running for congress had unified around universal healthcare, she would be president and we’d have a democratic majority in the house and senate. Instead we got milquetoast bullshit along with “orange man bad” and then screaming at anyone who dared to criticize the candidates.

He played a very believable serial killer in Dexter, and before Third Rock From the Sun he was largely known for his dramatic roles.

You should tell Jamie Loftus, she just did an episode of her podcast about the backrooms.

Well now I’m glad I’ve never bought a kindle book.

I’m curious what kind of human contact you’ve “tried” that didn’t work. There’s a world of difference between contact that is mediated through the context of work or planned leisure activities with relative strangers and organic meaningful interaction. Humans need to be social and feel useful to those around them. If that is lacking in your life, I suggest volunteering somewhere. Your local humane society almost certainly needs volunteers who can wash dogs and cats, or help visitors interact with the animals. Or there are likely a number of places you can volunteer to help people who are hungry or unhoused.

Thanks for all the info, it’s really helpful!
