No, but you could achieve similar effect by giving me a few billion $.

Even more accurately: society is benefited by constantly exploring (and exercising) multiple different survival strategies (capitalism, collectivism, religion…) at the same time. These various strategies are inevitably in tension, producing tons of overall unhappiness.

Like an octopus spreading its tentacles, trying to explore every crevice of its environment, but sometimes accidentally bumping two or more tentacles together. Sure, the tentacles won’t destroy each other but that’s not the point: In this metaphor, we are merely the cells on the surface. Our suffering is just part of the whole organism trying to balance exploration with self-preservation.

I don’t have experience with Twitter or Mastodon but it reminds me of time when I quit drinking.

When I quit drinking and tried to stay around people I used to drink with, I realized really fast how pointless this “engagement” (really just two people speaking past each other, and feeling like they have deep conversation) is. It’s almost insulting what a waste of effort such an “engagement” can be.

Some people see “free stuff”, and assume that it’s now open season on wasting OP’s time.

It’s a good way to kill any enthusiasm. Imagine your kid made a spaghetti portrait as a gift for you and instead of just accepting it you asked, “but what exactly did you do differently from all kids on the block?”

Why? Why ask for this from the creator?

If someone can create new software and offer it for free, they should not also be expected to also create a comprehensive analysis of what other people did and list of differences.

Just take it or leave it, it’s that simple. No need to act as if you’re trying to waste some door-to-door salesman’s time.

Edit: I expected some downvotes but not that many.

To my defense, the question in this thread is “you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others”. Look, I’m not a native English speaker either but I feel we could agree that is still pretty far away from simply being curious about design choices or “what led you to create this” sort of exploratory question.

I might have overreacted, though, so sorry for that.

FTFY

I could describe myself in similar terms as you described yourself; basically a nerd who can also program my way out of a paper bag (and maybe a leather one).

To me the term “tech bro” always meant someone between Elon Musk and some low middle class douche-bag who feels smart and adult about “accepting” that AI needs to be everywhere and we also need to pay for SW every month. Someone person who would say “bUt iT’s fOrD mOdEl T” and has some Alexa non-sense in their house.

I mean U.S. presidential debates don’t need to be posh intellectual philosophy clubs, but cutting Mikes on the stage, that would be a bit too far.

(Also if your data is accurate they would probably run out of uncut Mikes really fast.)

I mean, you got a point, but as citizen of Czech Republic, they don’t seem to do enough, and U.S. politics really feels like “right” and “more right”.

You guys need to fix your voting system. (I know it’s easier said than done, my country is about 5th of the age of U.S. Advantage of starting later is a real thing.)

…thus spoke the mysterious “R”, also known as “R-anon”

the ear isn’t very fleshy

Imagine an interviewer made this comment, and Donnie going on a rant for the next week how his ear is “actually really fleshy, very fleshy, actually more fleshy, Kamabla’s ears are like paper… Really fleshy…”

Where did you get the impression that words like covfefe and Kamabla were tweeted with full focus, stable, decent, ergonomic sitting pose and both hands dry?

“If I asked people what they want, they would say, better AI”

MBA tech bro: “so … that means what they really want is the same shitty AI, right?”

and the smarter ones can even look at two or more separate numbers

…also TTRPH, TTRPI, TTRPJ, TTRPK, TTRPL, TTRPM, TTRPN, TTRPO, TTRPP, TTRPQ, TTRPR, TTRPS, TTRPT, TTRPU, TTRPV, TTRPW, TTRPX, TTRPY and TTRPZ games.

But beyond that, no good use, no siree.

Even in areas where they would fit it’s really annoying how some companies are trying to push it down our throats.

It’s always some obnoxious UI element, screaming at me their 3 example questions, and I always sigh and think, “I have to assume you can only answer these 3 particular questions, and why would I ask those questions, and when I ask UI questions I expect precise answers so would I want to use AI for that.”

I have no doubt that LLM’s have more uses than I can think of, but come on…

I’m happy for studies like this. People who are trying to smear their AI all over our faces need to calm, the f…k, down.

electrical votes

you mean eclectic votes?

Also how the everliving hell do you add AI to input devices?

Think one of those UI’s that move your mouse to an “OK” button, but even worse, and everywhere (…ehm, everywhere it feels like). Add a Crowdstrikeability potential and you’ve got your AI crap. What’s not to love about it? (and by “love” I mean “hate”…)
