(He/Him) I think I tend to talk too much.

I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that’s not important right now.

  • We get a ton of untrustworthy information all the time and we know there is a chance of it being wrong and we weigh the consequences vs the extra effort it will take to verify

    I think we have an easier job determining right away if humans are lying about something, and humans generally own up to being unsure about things. On the other hand, AI seems to be designed with an intention to be infallible, as it doesn’t even give an estimate as to how sure it is that it’s information is correct.

    If a human in an organisation lies/says incorrect things a lot, they get fired.

    If im about to stake my career on a fact im not going to rely on chatGPT but if I need to see some popular UI frameworks then chatGPT is fine. If its wrong thats fine there is nothing riding on it I just move on and check the next one.

    So it sounds like AI is only really useful for your line wider area of work, that being anything programming focused, and therefore you’re thinking of a very specific type of information to get fetched - templates to build off of. I hope you can see why it was bad to generalise in your initial response; someone working with historical or political facts, a structural engineer working on bridges, or a teacher, can’t rely on GPT to get them the info they work with.


  • Honestly if you think it’s a good feature I challenge you to make a few short youtube tutorials demonstrating how to use it’s helpful features. This will help to spread awareness, and helps convince people with evidence.

    I have heard a lot of (what i think is) hot air from the microsoft head AI guy about how much it streamlines professional life and I would love if that was actually true, but I can’t help feeling i would already know about these wondrous features if that was in fact the case. Because people would be gushing about them.

    We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years

    That seems like a good argument. People went crazy over siri and such.

    LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).

    I’m not sure when people ever need to retrieve information thet doesn’t need to be correct, in a professional context. But thanks for being honest i guess.






  • Putting a tax on billionaires leaving is actually a brilliant idea…

    • Consistent: they made that wealth, in your country, so by the same principles of income tax, VAT, or corporation tax, we know the government believes it deserves a cut. All that money they take wth them is money the government was intending to dip into slowly over the course of 10 years or so.
    • Targets a Loophole: Billionaires are of course uniquely positioned to relocate on a whim - normal people and even many millionaires will not be able to do this, as they can’t change jobs on the fly, get someone else to sell their house for them, remotely buy a house in another country.
    • Motivates them to be better: the taxation of billionaires is ultimately about increasing the complexity of the system until they’re left with no choice but to be useful. But first we have to weather the storm of them trying to bribe the government not to tax them, before we can get there.





  • Correct - “James Gunn’s DCU Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold, doesn’t have an official date but is expected before 2030, likely around 2028 or 2029, to give space after Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II (Oct 2027) and introduce a new DCU Batman with Robin (Damian Wayne).”

    Lines up with the graph. Maybe the pure popularity of The Batman and DCU Batman will lead to the market flooding with Batfrenzy. I like the sound of Into the Bat-verse, that Sundray mentioned. I wouldn’t complain if every mainstream super hero had their own Sony animated banger


  • I think it’s not even the fundamental flaws that make it so bad (they could theoretically be worked-around or fixed), I think at some point the system was captured by a group that to this day ensures both parties remain ineffectual and operate towards the same war goals.

    Saying “the whole thing is a pantomine” seems like a lazy throwaway remark from some stranger you meet at a bar or your disillusioned uncle, and yet it’s exactly the conclusion you have to come to. We are controlled by the illusion of democracy and illusion of own influence




  • To have created the universe, God has to exist outside of / independently of it. Therefore probably not made of atoms.

    Fun fact - according to most christian thinkers/speakers I’ve listend to, this makes Christianity incompatible with pantheism (the belief that God is the universe, often referred to as “we are the universe experiencing itself”).

    ETA:

    spoiler

    same would apply for various other religions, christianity is the one i’m most familiar with
