As far as I know as long as the change was made outside of an ongoing conflict and it's reasonable to assume it wasn't done to evade a potential one, it would actually protect you from being sent to your death

I think chips having a single LLM directly on them will be very common once LLMs have matured/reached a ceiling.

This comment section surely would look the same if it had been a Tesla, right?

Supplementing any "large" amount of either Vitamin D or Bs really messes with my sleep. It makes it harder to fall asleep and I get crazy dreams (and sometimes hallucinations in bed too)

Not even that. I guarantee you that once really good brain computer interfaces are a thing, investments into "brain in a vat" companies are going to start being a thing. Because keeping just the brain young and then alive is almost certainly very possible if that's the whole focus.

You really need to update your language model because self driving cars have been driving around on their own for at least a year now

How would you feel if Microsoft applied the same logic to windows? Suddenly only apps from the microsoft store are allowed.

Why do smartphone makers get all these special privileges while Microsoft got the law handed down on them for daring to bundle a damn web browser with their OS?

I believe it's going to replace smartphones like smartphones replaced computers or more specifically laptops.

I used o3mini reasoning on that very question 2 times and it used a similar way of reasoning as him to answer it correctly both times. I agree with his premise but calling it a pump and dump with no possible future developments is so ridiculous.

Please remind me again how Recall sends data to Microsoft. I must've missed that part. Or are you against the print screen button too? I heard that takes images too. Very scary.

It's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo Games.

Good. If there's one company that deserves to have their stuff pirated, it's Nintendo.

Without any sort of AI we'd probably be left with the most exciting yearly releases being 3-5% performance increases in hardware (while being 20% more expensive of course), the 100000th javascript framework and occasionally a new windows which everybody hates. People talk about how population collapse is going to mess up society, but I think complete stagnation in terms of new consumer goods/technology are just as likely to do the deed. Maybe AI will fail to improve from this point, but that's a dark future to imagine. Especially if it's for the next 50 years.

These amazing machines weren't consistently able to tell if an image had a bird in it or not up until like 8 years ago. If you use AI as a calculator where you need it to be precise, that's on you.
