I suspect soon there will be laws to protect the LLM proprietors in the name of AI arms race/national security

I assumed I knew what `and get charged extra if they want them to act a certain way or do certain things` meant, but maybe not. I thought it was along the lines of acting romantic/sexual/etc. Maybe I'm way off but I'd think otherwise it would just be an AI friend. I didn't know AI girlfriends were a thing until I clicked on this post today.

Seems like at that point one might as well just pay onlyfans? Although I suspect it is not far off until gpt and deepfaking get combined to produce completely generated onlyfans (or some other competitor if this is against their ToS, I have no idea).

On a similar note I very much look forward to the day when entertainment providers leverage these so I can say to Netflix, et al, "I would like to watch a documentary about XYZ, narrated by someone that sounds like Joe Schmoe, and with the styling of SomeOtherShow".

I would argue that the verb forms of calm and sooth connote stimulation, whereas the adjective form of calm might be a lack of stimuli. I'm not sure there is a present tense adjective form of sooth? But certainly one might say, "this music is very calming" so in that case the stimulus is causing the non-stimulated (by my definition) state... Offsetting the anxiety causing stimuli? I am neither a linguist nor a medical professional, but you got me thinking! Thanks.

Someone smarter than me please let me know :D

Doesn't that suggest that Apple, a large tech company, will force users to use whatever is best for the company, not the user?

Is "Sign-in with your Hacker News account" a thing?

Hopefully OP can recover any lost work(Or simply get unbanned), but I will venture a guess that buried in GH's TOS is something that amounts to "You agree to these rules, and if you violate them and get banned that is on you" and they can point at this/these clause/s and say, "Hey, OP broke the rules and that's that"

Ah man, i hate this. It also used to (may still) randomly end the loop in the playlist and kick you to some suggested video instead. Absolutely awful UX

Mine died last year and I upgraded to the 16" m1max. I was not happy to spend the money, but I think I can easily get another decade out of this new beast

"Knew a thing or two about negotiations"

Is this like, "Nice boxes you're packing there. Be a shame if something happened to them..."
