Users: Ok bye.

I do a double-take when I see somebody noticing social media stats.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyowwwwwwwwwwww

I want people to understand that everybody's needs aren't the same as their own (and not just say they do before screaming something that proves they don't).

I knew a guy who did that one time. Know what happened? He's DEAD.

Linux would open up a whole world of sub-$100 laptops if more people would just consider it. My wife's old Surface and another old HP laptop are bothj running so great with Linux, I'm thinking about resurrecting a laptop from the early 2000s just to see how usable it might be.

Letting perfection get in the way of good is much more common among liberals than conservatives, who are more like "whatever, my team is my team". This gives conservatives a political advantage, and so does the more recent popularity of angry hardline moral absolutism among liberals. If every sin or misdeed is permanently unforgivable, you run out of saints very fast.

I love how they chose the term "hallucinate" instead of saying it fails or screws up.

Their reasoning seems valid - common sense says the less you do something the more your skill atrophies - but this study doesn't seem to have measured people's critical thinking skills. It measured how the subjects felt about their skills. People who feel like they're good at a job might not feel as adequate when their job changes to evaluating someone else's work. The study said the subjects felt that they used their analytical skills less when they had confidence in the AI. The same thing happens when you get a human assistant - as your confidence in their work grows you scrutinize it less. But that doesn't mean you yourself become less skillful. The title saying use of AI "kills" critical thinking skill isn't justified, and is very clickbaity IMO.

A very typical arc for innovation is that the first organizational goal is getting people to buy it, then the next goal is getting them to keep buying it again and again. The original visionaries who were trying to solve a problem tend to lose interest by then and drop out, and the money weasels completely take over. New versions are released on a marketing schedule regardless of whether they're necessary, and the thing begins to suck progressively more and more until some new player shows up to solve that problem.

Rinse and repeat.

Ah, so that's who this guy is. Thanks! Tbh I had no clue and thought it might be George R. R. Martin.

You're right, there are people who think corporations have morals, or that Donald Trump was sent by God to save us, or that the Earth is flat. That doesn't create a standard that praising such articles is the Right Thing and criticizing them is the Wrong Thing.
