What are good places these days? I miss Fry's Electronics, CompUSA, Computer City, etc. :(

If Apple still sold newer small and light iPhones models like its minis and SE, then I would get the newer models. :(

SEO killed search. If anything, AI has made it slightly useful again.

If you’ve ever tried to argue with an LLM, it quickly becomes obvious that they don’t even really know what words mean, and this article explains why. They don’t actually have any real life experiences to relate to those words. They’re not trying to understand the world, they aren’t even really exposed to the real world as a source of data, all they’re really trying to accomplish is arranging words into patterns that humans will find authentic and convincing. That’s the main thing these models are optimizing.

Yes, but we’re not counting on them to become super intelligent and solve all the worlds problems.

It's too expensive now! :P

I've used them, I am well aware of what they are actually capable of, which is mostly expanding a small piece of text into a large one without adding anything of value. In most cases, it sounds like a highschool student trying to BS their way to meet a necessary word count without really engaging with the material. Trying to call it "superhuman" is actually hilarious.

Yeah, it seems like AI coding is totally misguided today. AI would be good for helping people with syntax, or identifying typos. Maybe you could use it to produce early demonstration versions of software to help set requirements, but using it to actually write code doesn't make sense for any kind of real product you intend to ship to customers, especially if security is any concern.

I'm not saying IA itself is not useful, but that AI generated content is not useful. There are certainly things it does well that can improve your productivity, but generating answers to questions, generating complex code, writing stories and things like that are not among them.

Same with my 12 mini. I want a small size iPhone due to my disabilities and small hands. Even SE would be OK, but it has to be faster than 13 mini!

And then, MS removes Notepad. ;P

I wonder when Apple will increase their RAM prices.

It’s good for a handful of things, but as a rule content that is largely AI generated is not useful. AI chatbots and ai generated answers to questions are not particularly informative and often contain glaring logical contradictions, nonsensical statements, and even factual inaccuracies. AI, in its current form, will never be able to think, make decisions, or teach students. It’s as if we created the world’s smartest insect and asked it to raise our children, when it should be summarizing wikipedia articles and filtering spam.

Need Internet v2. :P
