"Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life." Why are universities part of this set backbone items?
> "This leads me to conclude that using AI to write code that a(nother) human is one day to interact with is a no-go, for all the reasons listed."
So, if one's goal is to develop code that is easily maintainable by others, do you think that AI writing code gets in the way of that goal?
Why is that? Light duty trucks and SUVs outsell cars in the US. They are comfortable to ride in, have better leg room and head room, and have a heavier duty frame that enables them to haul and tow more as needed. You can fit a plow on many trucks as well in snowy regions.
Electrifying them has only upsides with the exception of road weight and range, but I'm repeatedly told that's not a problem for cars anymore.
Granted, the F150 lightning hasn't done well compared to Ford's expectations, which might say a lot about the reality of range concerns (especially when towing).
Google has usage data that no-one else could get access to. It’s the usage data that improved the algorithms that led to more usage data - effectively setting up a natural monopoly.
By allowing their search algorithm to atrophy they have given up this moat to the point that others can breach it with LLMs that give similar results without the usage data.
It would be if they were the only one with billions of dollars. Perhaps the nuance is that they have a moat but a rather small one with competitors that have credibly signaled that intend to cross it.
Does it show that LLMs really are just bullshit generators, or does it show that Google has effectively made its product so politically correct that it's effectively lobotomized it?
I was going to submit one, but it said that Amazon had flagged the item as having suspicious review behavior, so I'm guessing a lot of others had the same idea.
