Why? Next week a new version of Claude and GPT will come out and the limits will change again. Are you really fully testing every new version of every LLM agant to see where its limits are?
Those of us old enough to have seen this cycle before know its a fools game trying to keep up with development pace in the initial bubble. Its much better to wait for development and progress to start plateuing and then its easier to see the wood for the trees.
I think we have reached peak functionality in software, therefore the only place left to go was make the underlying code more complex, messy, and impossible for humans to read. /s
Im no conservative, but I thought useres of this site were more intelligent than to throw massive negative stereotypes out about groups of millions of people.
There are luckily not millions of conservative politicians. Those we have right now do already enough damage.
The older ones who resigned when they fucked up, or had a moral compass seamed to have disappeared. Instead we have more and more "MAGA-Style"-Politics
That sounds like a great way to make a mess. Look at Microsoft's own apps shunning proper File dialogs and instead presenting a giant, bizarre pane of mostly text and a few crudely-drawn boxes in order to save a file. You have no idea what you're looking at or where you are in the file system.
Then there's the removal of title bars from Windows. You often have no idea what app you're looking at. Pull up a PDF in Acrobat and also in Edge. Now, at a glance, which is which?
These earphones are not for people who appreciate good audio. They are for people who want more products in the Apple ecosystem and have lots of money to spend.
Elon Musk is far from the nicest person in the world and there are many fair reasons to dislike him but he wasn't in "the Epstein list" (whatever that is), he was pictured with a number of other tech CEOs at a dinner with Epstein, who was a wealthy financier.
I don't normally engage with comments like this as I assume there's no hope for someone who may be so willfully blind to the facts. My comment is more for those who might read what you wrote and accept it as truth.
I believe the previous commenter was referring to Musk's emails with Epstein, many of which were released by the DOJ Jan. 30th earlier this year.
On Nov 25, 2012, Musk asked Epstein "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?" Source: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01977...
So I think it would be fair to say he had more involvement with Epstein than a dinner. Epstein was a convicted sex offender since 2008, so it's not like people around Epstein didn't know who they were dealing with.
Ignoring your incredibly obnoxious (and a smidge smug) "You're too far gone!" routine, I've read the E-Mails. Epstein and Co. didn't like him so much they awkwardly lied about winding the "operation" down when he asked about visiting once - I highly doubt they'd let him into "those" parts of the parties even if he begged on his knees.
> If you realize how bad the people are, you can do something about it.
The problem is you have no idea what people are invested in what companies. How do you know that when you shop at $friendlySustainableCompany that people like Musk do not have shares there?
I can only be responsible for what I'm aware of, or can reasonably be expected to be aware of.
I, too, have a Starlink account for emergency backup service that I plan to switch over to Amazon LEO as soon as it's available. Lesser-evil principle at work again. Yes, there are things that aren't great about Amazon, but Amazon's practices are largely in sync with my capitalist values.
Musk's businesses are also compatible with my capitalist values, but those values don't include his special additional bonus values of Nazi-adjacent behavior, association with known pedophiles, sabotaging the government, or active subversion of elections. It's not a religious thing, it's just that given a choice, I'd rather support someone else.
> I can only be responsible for what I'm aware of, or can reasonably be expected to be aware of.
Not a valid legal defence. I think we need to build tooling that makes moral stances like yours easier to adhere to, then see how people react when they realize just how impossible it is.
It certainly isn't as impossible as swearing an oath of purity that requires me to do business only with companies that swear a similar oath to harm no one else's interests. I can't carry on the ordinary business of life under such conditions, and neither can you.
There are degrees of antisocial behavior, and there's a limit to what I will tolerate from others and indulge in myself. That limit is not zero, to be honest, but it's far from the standard set by Musk.
Why? Next week a new version of Claude and GPT will come out and the limits will change again. Are you really fully testing every new version of every LLM agant to see where its limits are?
