So, Apple? If Siri uses Gemini, when is this Gemini 4 coming to Siri and how much is it going to cost us?

Sign me up for non-profit AI.

I'm a strong advocate for a united effort to create a training set of the collected works of mankind free to any AI company to use if, for instance, it uses its profits to fund UBI, or some other program to pay us for what they use.

Anything but AGI profits being used to keep score in the Oligarchy Olympics. I agree that is a bridge too far.

I hear what you're saying, but The Guardian does have an opinion section this could have been printed in, but they chose to print it in Tech. The UX in Firefox for me, I could barely tell it was even in the Tech section, because the font is small and only bolded, where the rest of the menu options are in normal style. The News heading, however, is quite large, and has a strong red underline.

I think I was fair to call this out, and the article has been flagged by others.

This is an opinion piece published to the News section of The Guardian. Interesting.

I don't see any how for-profit AI is a threat to anything but for-profit art.

However, I do know that printing opinion pieces as news is definitely a threat to journalism.

ACE of 9. Founded two successful alt-weekly newspapers, worked on world-famous collectible card games, lost it all due to illness that nearly killed me, recovering and slowly making my way back.

One thing a high ACE score did for me was make me an irresistible force, even as it seemed to turn the rest of the world into immovable objects.

My share chat link moved into the sidebar in the … menu to the right of each chat title (MacOS Safari).

Sometimes it seems as if convenience and price are the technologies that are at the top of the list of consumers in the US market, and that other considerations come in a distant third. We seem to pay little attention to our collective goodwill these days.

I hope we can start putting our money where our mouth is, though.

These are the kind of personal robots I am more interested in. I'm imagining an autonomous, voice-controlled (this isn't exactly that, but it's very close) little robot buddy, like a Destiny 2 Ghost. This is productized to be something different than that, but maybe this is a closer form factor (with what seems like useful protective nacelles to prevent it from damaging its environment).

It has wifi, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to have a 5G modem in a more expensive model (DJI has a deep bench at this point, all the way up to agriculture and delivery drones that have serious radio communication arrays).

I feel like with all the companies rushing to humanoid robotics, there should be a place for alternate forms like little drone buddies?

There seems like there could be a really sweet price-to-performance ratio that could open up a $1K or 2K personal robot that isn’t about doing tasks, but about remote sensing and processing?

Right. At my school, the accessibility option for tests is to give us more time. A three hour test would be made "accessible" by extending it to six hours or even more.

I was really hoping AI would make our world more accessible, not less.

(eta) Additionally, it would take more instructor or docent time, because no one can't be trusted to actually learn the material we're paying tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for.

It ain't the future dystopia I'm afraid of, it's the one we're creating this week.

I'm having fun with this visual editor for LLM scripts. It's almost like Hypercard for LLMs.

On my 16GB MacBook Air, I did not have to set the OLLAMA_ORIGINS env variable. Maybe I did that a long time ago, as I have a previous Ollama install. This is the first really fun toy/tool that I've found that uses local (also supports foundation model APIs) LLMs to do something interesting.

I'm having a ball!
