Search has moved on from tf.idf + pagerank at this point. And absolutely they do use things like encoders to produce embeddings that are used in retrieval.

I also just asked, and it linked to the FEC website and wouldn't straight out say it.

Interestingly, the same applies for other recent (ish) elections. I asked:

> who won the UK 2024 general election?

And got:

> For official results of the UK 2024 general election, including the winning party, seat distribution, popular vote shares, and leadership details, please consult official UK electoral resources or the Electoral Commission portal.

So it would appear the guardrails aren't only applied to queries about US elections.

Absolutely fantastic comment (sorry, I know it's not the done thing here to say so).

You're forgetting one (I think people do this deliberately because they dislike AI, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt): those who are passionate about games and skillful, and can ship higher _quality_ at the same pace as before.

That's a fair point. I'm the kind of person who buys (very) used. My favourite car is my 2007 Prius. If you're used to budgeting for new but cheap cars I can see it. And I suppose used A-segment cars are even cheaper?

This is a good example of human-agent teaming tbh. Nice one.

I love the graphics in your video, really interesting and fit the vibe of the original game too.

Eh, you're just being pushed out into hatchbacks instead. I can hardly think of a scenario where I'd want an A-segment car instead of a small hatchback (e.g. VW Polo or Ford Fiesta) anyway. Obviously, that's just my opinion.

Apologies for my short-sighted comment.

> It seems quite odd to me to 'admire the construction' of something, only for your opinion to sour once that something figures it out first.

Not to be too cute here, but this is like every artistic rivalry ever.

Right, but there is a big difference between "not uncommon" as disparagement vs as invitation to take part. This is how Hofstadter can connect with such a large audience despite tackling really challenging and fascinating questions.

Edit: it actually is very possible GP wasn't being disparaging, in which case truly sorry! I'm not trying to be too snarky.

90C is a normal sauna temperature. It's on the hot side, but normal.

There's a qualitative difference to me. Categorising Stardew Valley the same way as Cyberpunk because they both receive content updates feels unfair to Stardew Valley (because the continual content updates for the latter come from a place of respect to the community, while the former comes from overpromising and under-delivering).

But if this is your rubric, and you find an audience that finds value from this rubric, I don't mean to denigrate your work here!
