I don't see that at all. I do see a trend wherein "progressive" publications would rather shut down their editorial comment pages than to have their political positions debated. Meanwhile, several conservative sites have started (or restarted) such features (many shut down during our last administration). Leftists want to come over and debate? Fine. Just be prepared to have their heads (figuratively) handed to themselves.

An interesting idea. But it seems pretty socialist. And risks alienating the Left when it is pointed out that this will guarantee the Right wing their constitutionally protected First Amendment rights.

No more: "Just go build your own social media board."

Perhaps the installation of the PWA hard codes a call to the browser that installed it. Try installing it using FireFox.

The problem being I haven't seen a good term that refers to the extended LLM scenario that is specific enough to exclude other things like machine vision.

Everyone is referring to the extended LLM scenario and despite things feeding improvements, it still cannot do everything that people promise/believe it can do. I have been inundated by project proposals that largely center around "screw everyone but my job, AI can replace everyone but me", and they are just full of bad ideas.

Basically, the good old "I have an app idea but I can't develop" crowd that actually didn't have a good app idea now think LLM based systems have come to finally realize their vision. As a result, various things are flooded with half-realized concepts that really need to deflate.

For the non-technical folks, a relatively decent analogy is looking at the likes of youtube and just how even worse the uninspired crap has gotten now that GenAI can let them low effort up a significant volume. It's not that GenAI necessarily *has* to make bad content, but bad content creators are equipped to flood the field. Similarly, people who can't deal with software designs are pitching right next to skilled professionals and the target audience doesn't know the difference until after they've already screwed over the wrong party.

The same argument could be made around automated fuzzing. A new class of security misbehavior may be identified automatically, and it turns out you can use such tools to identify things to fix as well.

Of course, it could be a problem if it has a high false positive rate, where the attacker can hit false positives and barely be impacted but the false positives drive an impossible churn to keep up with on the defense side... Which frankly could be a thing based on my experience with LLM code review that can catch stuff, but also has false positives and even suggests absolutely broken "fixes" fairly commonly.

While Anthropic is generally more credible, they have indulged in performative bullshit for the sake of the hype train.

Frankly, if they didn't, they would have been screwed over no matter how well they actually made a product.

Not crazy about the "do things to open source projects, but obfuscate the fact that it's LLM originated" Anthropic thing either way.

I do suspect that OpenAI will be the 'Netscape' of this bubble pop. Early mover that in many ways sparked something significant that got left behind by others that did it better.

I am so eager for a bubble pop to recalibrate expectations to properly leverage LLM as appropriate instead of the current madness. It will be an adjustment, but without the craze it won't be nearly so obnoxious.

Anthropic announces that they have a super awesome AI product that's just too awesome for anyone for anyone to see.

And then immediately OpenAI has the exact same thing.

FOMO on "my technology is too scary to exist" is a fun twist.

I know, it's not the first time, someone even linked an article where OpenAI said the same sort of thing about GPT-2 back in 2019...

... Maurader offers its database to help locate Waymos.

You choose.

Yeah. There are a number of ways to encode instructions.

Connect to what? My old Kindle connected via 3G. They'd have to rebuild the 3G cellular system to brick that. It will also connect via USB to allow access to its storage for side loading PDFs and open format compatible content. Since that requires no Amazon app, it will be fine. It still has many good years of life ahead of it.

I'd want:
- Trivially replaceable battery. This means no glue, and ideally means a standardized battery approach to maximize chances of buying a replacement one down the line.
- Putting ports on a separate board than the CPU and ram and such. Physical damage comes to ports, especially charging ports. Having this delegated off board minimizes risk of having to replace something expensive.
- Replacable keyboard and screen. Again, at high risk of damage and should be replaceable
- Removable storage. If your mainboard does fail, smoothest if you can move your SSD over to the replacement main board.
- Commitment to consistent form factor. If 5 years down the line it breaks, I can accept if I can't get *exactly* the same board anymore, but it would be nice if I could just get a new generation board and replace it without letting perfectly adequate screen, keyboard, case go to waste.

So mostly Framework, Lenovo recently did a think with a Thinkpad also exhibiting most of these, except no indication of generation to generation consistency in parts.
