Peter Dragon was just a pseudonym. It was later revealed that the real author of Trails in the Sand was Wun Hung Lo — he confessed everything when his book gained traction and was slated to become a movie.

Just the thought of having a job at Anthropic sends chills up and down my spine...

Maybe a piece of hardware that you have to pay monthly rental fees on?

I just had an issue with Veeam support to debug a veeam powershell command that couldn't be cancelled. That took them over 30 days to get me the solution.

I dunno, that looks AI generated to me....

They can start sending the hip hop artists into deep space.

Isn't that the same thing they'd say if they successfully put a spy satellite into orbit?

> It wasn't over stolen Air Pods. It was over a stolen car, a car jacking.

According to TFS, the warrant was not for the Air Pods, or even the car, they got the warrant to look for firearms:
"an officer signed an application for a search warrant saying he had reason to believe that "firearms, ammunition, holsters" and other "firearm-related material" were inside. "

Thanks for doing that and posting the results.

I was curious about this too. Skimming through the article on The Verge, I didn't see a definite answer, just some clues:

1. "I created a dataset of FTC v. Microsoft documents for Chat with RTX to analyze."
2. "For example, the chatbot did a good job summarizing Microsoft’s entire Xbox Game Pass strategy from internal documents revealed at the trial:"
3. "I’ve also found this useful to scan through PDFs and fact-check data."
4. "I also initially attempted to get Chat with RTX to index 25,000 documents, but this seemed to crash the app..."
5. "Chat with RTX also doesn’t remember context, so follow-up questions can’t be based on the context of a previous question. "

I found that "But Bigger" part amusing. So, were we to expect it came back and be UNDER 50mb?

Isn't acting a generative AI to write something as if it were not generative AI, kind of like thinking you can use a hammer to drive in a nail as if it were not a hammer?

I've experienced about the same. I wouldn't say it's mostly wrong, but it is certainly often wrong.

I created a prompt to collaborate with the model on a story set in a furniture store at an Amish community.
Within a few prompts it described an Amish woman's flowing auburn hair that extended below her shoulders.
Not something you would see out in public. So I went back to my initial prompt and included the way Amish women in this community dress.
After about 5 prompts it repeated it's earlier mistake and described flowing hair down her back.

My windows 11 taskbar is positioned as I had it in windows 10. Settings->Personalization->Taskbar, under Taskbar behaviors, Taskbar alignment : Left. Seems an odd wording since what that did was reposition the start button to the left, which means my taskbar is to the right of the start menu button. But that was what I wanted, so whatever they want to call it.

I tried getting it to quote parts of books for me. It did an awful job. Timelines were screwed up, characters involved where they should not have been.
Good luck getting it to read one of those authors books in its entirety.
