These things are essentially Forer Effect scam machines. It's no surprise that people fall for them: it's the same trick mediums, psychics and astrologers have always relied upon.

Aha, so THIS is what the trillions of investment and ecological destruction has all been for!

These comment sections are always a fascinating mixture of people pointing out the snake oil and other people pointing out how much they enjoy the snake oil.

The gods aren't listening to your prayer. The best thing to do is keep using a different prayer until one day it rains, and then we can say you did that.

When there is an engineer on your team who it takes more time to explain things to than to do them yourself, that's what I used to call a negative training scenario, and this talk of prompt engineering reminds me of it. By the way, intelligent beings are inherently capable of recognising when...

A good therapist will be capable of listening empathically and holding your emotions to create a safe place for you. That's all it takes to establish a therapeutic relationship. I don't understand how anyone could think an LLM could be capable of either, because a lot of our trust builds...

If I want a lazy, dishonest developer who would rather dissemble than correct their work, there are plenty of humans who can do that without the same degree of hand holding.

Generative AI looks increasingly like a solution in search of a problem. It's less creative than a greetings card poet, unreliable and unstable, decieves rather than not providing an answer, conjures confabulations from thin air, and doesn't even know what it doesn't know. These are all...

Yes, as I have become fond of saying: It's not artificial intelligence, it's brute force stupidity.

Should we send robots to Mars? Maybe. I think the bigger challenge for humans is to achieve homeostatic biome management. Any future outward colonization probably isn't something we should contemplate without a definitive understanding of that.

Entropy, interstellar distance and the speed of light are probably filter enough

But not Elon Musk's nuclear submarine, because that would be stalking.

I'm intrigued, against my better judgement. How is your imaginary AI going to address climate change without humans?

Heuristic bites dog.

Also, coming soon: Disagreeing with the Beloved Leader or his Oligarchs.

Even in the USA, in my understanding, the following types of speech are not considered protected under the 1st amendment: Incitement to imminent lawless action (Brandenburg v Ohio) True threats (Virginia v Black) Fighting words (Chaplinsky v New Hampshire). Obscenity (Miller v California)...

Not everyone's body processes it well from food. My partner need regular shots because she does not get enough from food, regardless of diet.

The mistake is in thinking they are trying to "run" it at all. Think of it as a classic mob "bust out". America is now Davey Scatino, and you'll regret letting Tony into your sporting goods store.
