Mechanical Engineer who quit his job to build an AI startup. I have an idea to make generative CAD design truly generative. We'll see how it goes. Lots to do. Lots to learn.
I think they were gently reminded by Disney of their contractual obligation. After Disney was gently reminded of similar obligations by Jimmy Kimmel.

Even the tech geeks are beholden to market econ. Full adoption of AI won’t happen until the quote is reality.

Basically, LLMs "know" things because we know things and it's trained on our writing which is embedded with our knowledge. We are used to computers which are absolutely accurate in very narrow domains. LLMs are approximately accurate in very wide domains. It's a whole new thing.

This is basically how research goes though, correct? For knowledge outside your own expertise, you are typically consulting sources and taking the consensus. Wikipedia is simply random people writing things which make sense to them. It's still valuable as an approximate source knowledge.

Because Republicans are the ones causing it. They want this.

We don’t need accounting of “blame”. We all know who to blame. We need accounting for action. If our reps don’t act as a counterbalance, then the only other opposition is the street. Or we just lie back and let it happen.

Ha ha, no. You couldn't even buy stuff on the internet back then. I bought a chainring from an online bike shop a few years later and to pay I had to email my CC number and info split between two emails.

Hit up the old internet. Shit was good back then. People wrote actually interesting stuff because they didn't expect to be paid and didn't expect to be read except by a few

Democratic supporters can't control Trump, but they might be able to influence the Democratic party. This criticism might actually help give cover to the Democratic politicians to be the opposition. Politicians get their power from their constituencies.

Dude, stop posting this. Power is not just in majorities. Republicans have known this for decades at this point.

They are not. Republicans have shut shit down with less power. Democrats need to put on their big boy pants and go to work.

Senator, it’s time to filibuster everything. Shut this shit down. Sue if that’s the path. You own lawmaking, not Trump, and this is the Executive taking power away from the Legislative.

Trump is trolling. The best way of dealing with trolls is to not reply to them.

Might unsubscribe from NYTimes over this.

I kinda want a higher resolution version of this so I can set it for a wallpaper
