Actually you don't always get the same result (or at least the exact same response to the same question). I've tried this with LLMs running locally (using ollama), making sure to restart the engine from scratch every time, so there is some randomness going on.
According to ChatGPT, Ollama does make use of a random number generator for some reason.

So Apple store is actually no higher quality than Google Play store, so it turns out the whole "walled garden" thing is only for Apple's benefit and not their customers.
Another Apple marketing lie busted then.

Sorry for your loss. Dating apps are indeed garbage. If I were single, I'd be talking to every attractive person I saw at a grocery store, museum, out walking, etc. I'm an introvert and it makes me nervous AF, but I've also realized that pretty much anyone who agrees to meet for a drink is already interested, so that makes it easier. I mean I hate doing job interviews too, but it's just part of the process, not the end of the world.

Books are not the only form of reading.

Seriously, is thee any fucking way at all to stop/remove all the AI in windows?

Everything is derivative (or just plain copying), though generative doesn't even imply novelty. I can generate a list of the first X positive integers and that will still be generative as long as I didn't specify each one literally. It will not be novel.

I mean, the same is true of many things that are automated. Every once in a while someone dies on an escalator, but far fewer people die from riding an escalator than by falling down stairs.

I'm curious what specific problems have been "solved" by particular generative AI startups. I'm aware of AI-based tools for specific tasks, but nothing that uses LLMs to solve a problem (other than perhaps code generation).

This just means that the NSA will now share with the UK the backdoor into Apple that they already have, rather than the UK having their own.
There's no way that any of the 5 Eyes countries will allow any of their citizens any actual privacy, or resident companies to provide it.

What's the deal with the way movies are being increasingly badly miscategorized by movie theaters and on platforms like Prime? I mean the "Comedy" category gets applied to just about everything now, very little of it actually funny.
Worse yet is what they've done to Sci-Fi category. It's become a dumping ground for all the worst dross from the Horror and Fantasy categories that have literally nothing to do with actual Sci-Fi at all.

...of clueless managers throwing AI at everything, and making the user experience far worse.

I assume you mean because water evaporates more quickly than pads are wetted, leading to reduced functionality. This is an implementation problem, not a limitation of the concept itself. Better wetting, materials, and/or using multi-stage evaporative coolers can overcome the limit of older systems typically found in homes.

This is assuming rational behavior, which is a stretch here.

It's easy to get great efficiency when you're traveling at 25MPH, where drag is a minimal contributor. Most modern EVs can manage close to 5 mi/kWh at those speeds. Range is then just a question of battery capacity, so is the improvement in energy density, or just packing more batteries into the vehicle?

Prof. David Kipping had a recent video on his Cool Worlds youtube channel about "TARS". Which would be capable of launching tiny sensor probes out into space by accelerating them on a spinning foil.
