I was reading posts on this story and thinking how out of touch I am having never heard of any of these stories. Then you mentioned "Way of Kings" and I realized that I read that book! A friend gave me a copy a few years ago.

Did you mean that last sentence to say "without" vs. "with"? Otherwise, I follow what you are saying.

Thank you, link is very helpful.

LLM's rely upon previous use of language. Words can have multiple meanings of course but we have context to sort it out. But images? what is the basic unit of it? How does the AI recombine these image sub-components to something new? anybody know?

No AI will make mistakes like real musicians or artists. People don't realize how important little mistakes and small errors are in performance. Figure this out and you will dominate over the AI with perfect takes but in totally unnatural way

do not push that tip screen my direction ever again.

Why do you have to burn my retinas out? I get it, you are going to stop.

No joke, a serious question. UT in San Diego has been dregs for years, and now I'm given up on WSJ.

Any recommendations for unbiased news with professionals running the show? I'm not expecting free, just properly done.

Nice to see avarice and greed on a level worthy of Dickens.

Wish I could attend her legal team's New Year's Eve party tonight, gonna be Impressive!

He could solve so many of today's problems, sigh.

It's for the vibe coders.

nice.

Swear and shout. The bot will get you to a human ASAP.

exactly. I subscribe to WSJ and more and more the stories are so stupid that I wonder if anybody really is trying anymore. If you read the article, it was clear from the start that WSJ installed something utterly ridiculous just to get a story, that big sunrise, sounded utterly stupid. Then the anthropic guy is all "this is great, our new roadmap!" Did the blind monkey quit or something?

Two points I finds interesting about 911 For the one plane that managed to thwart the hijacker plans
1. They used mobile phones in the air
2. They got the food card together and fashioned some sort of weapons.

I still shake my head today when I get my bag pulled out for a mini Swiss army that only has scissors and nail file.
