That doesn’t protect you at all if your skin is dark.

I think OP means that if you didn’t remove the real spider webs (thus removing the spiders and damaging the ecosystem), you wouldn’t have to use the fake stuff.

I was reading a book the other day, a science fiction book from 2002 (Kiln People), and the main character is a detective. At one point, he asks his house AI to call the law enforcement lieutenant at 2 am. His AI warns him that he will likely be sleeping and won’t enjoy being woken. The mc insists, and the AI says ok, but I will have to negotiate with his house AI about the urgency of the matter.

Imagine that. Someone calls you at 2 am, and instead of you being woken by the ringing or not answering because the phone was on mute, the AI actually does something useful and tries to determine if the matter is important enough to wake you.

Like my parent’s Amazon Echo with “Ask me what famous person was born this day.”

Like, if you know that, just put it up on the screen. But the assistant doesn’t work for you. Amazon just wants your voice to train their software.

The deciding factor on whether something needs a license is usually speed. If this goes slow enough, it would be fine without a license, IMO

I found myself wide awake at 4:45, and instead of trying to wrestle back sleep, I went to take a walk at the beach! Yay for motivation! As a treat, I’m having breakfast at a nice place nearby. It’s still 8 am, and I don’t have any work meetings until 10, so it should be a nice day.

Blame the programmers? Yeah, no. The software is owned by the company, blame them.

If a building collapses. You blame the people who built the walls and poured the concrete, or the ones who chose the materials and approved the project?

In any case, often programmers and engineers retain no rights to the software they worked on. So whoever profits from the software should also shoulder the blame.

I think it’s pretty obvious from context he is not talking about Child Porn.

We’ll find out how successful the system is soon enough.

Yikes.

Fight fire with fire! (But never ban the fire, for some reason)

It makes sense if you believe an LLM has actual intelligence, and works like an oracle.

It makes no sense at all if you understand how they work even superficially

She was probably working even later, if she was working st the time you called.

If you keep your tools there, but not your car, guess what? It’s the tool room now!

Yeah, my company says it’s a bad practice to use chrome password manager, but doesn’t give me a license to a better alternative. 🤷

in wild rant

Redundant text write there

I hadn’t noticed that. It’s 100% funnier, though.

And to top it off, if the tariffs went away in 3 months, would they lower the price back down?

I see what you mean. But if I have my house on my land, and enough income to provide reasonably for me and my family, what do I care about their imaginary money games?
