Comment Re:Old argument. (Score 3, Interesting) 121

Innate capability and not fulfilling one's potential by wasting time are really two separate causes of being 'stupid'.

To argue for the point, none of the inventions you mention have offered the promise of doing your thinking for you.

I can see both sides but definitely some people will never achieve depth on any subject if they're asking an LLM to present a surface level analysis.

Yet some may say if an LLM can do it that's not what Humans are best at.

Predicting this future witht any certainty seems like the most Dunning-Kruger possible by the authors.

Did you notice his handle?

It might be a reference to how Biden broke his foot 'pulling his dog's tail in the shower'.

German Shepard, but the GP probably would have to ask ChatGPT what the difference is.

I can't imagine loving a politician who doesn't even know me but some people are weird.

Brilliant 'memetic judo'. Whoever is on their marketing team should be CEO, I hear the position's open.

FWIW what I found interesting is that if neither of them had reacted at all to being on the kiss cam (or reacted normally) we wouldn't even have heard about it.

That shows it doing zero internet searches, so they used a cheap and fast model, it did no external lookups then they did zero work themselves to confirm anything. I don't know what else to say, it's kind of cute like watching old people learn how to Google.

Not just sanction.

They did it deliberately.
They exercised no reasonable oversight by double checking the references.
Their sole role was as ethical agents knowing the law; they failed every part of the task.

They clearly don't want to actually practice law, so give them a larger opportunity not to do so.

Women: some men are dangerous
Men: ok let us have really terrible punishments for those bad men.
Women: no no no, that would be cruel. They need counseling, not punishment.

Non predatory men by a massive majority want draconian punishment for men that hurt women. WOMEN by a massive majority vote against severe punishments.

This is interesting so it raises the question of whether other hurricanes strengthened last time this layering happened and one passed over.

That this storm strengthened /exactly/ when a solar storm hit Earth seemed like a more promising anomaly but a strong dataset would support their hypothesis and rule out a massive coincidence.

As the meme says, "we knew more about the Coldplay Kisscam couple after one day than we know about Matthew Crooks after one year."

Be careful about what people find interesting but be even more careful about what people find anti-interesting.

Especially the "free press".

Yeah and those people would have thrown a bricked bike through the front window of their corporate headquarters.

Amazon tried real hard to upsell me a wifi sprinkler timer yesterday.

Ha, no, the $18 microcontroller-based timer will do just fine. They could have temped me with a Matter/Threads unit but no, they don't try that hard. Doesn't "Work with Alexa".

Imagine my garden dying because a tree fell on the Comcast line and it took a few days to rebuild. Such weird expectations! I wonder how many "smart" households went bonkers during the 4hr Starlink outage?
