Yep — on mainstream AI YouTube videos, I see a lot of comment replies accusing anyone of commenting with ai (if its a well weitten post, with punctuation). Others chiming in "ran through ai detector, says 37% human 63% air — BOT" etc

YT comments were never a good place, but it's interesting to see this shift now its hit the masses

And interesting that no ones commenting about the robotic AI voice over... Instead pointing finger's at each other like the spiderman meme.

Could it be, AOL ending dialup – marks the official end of the dotcom bubble? Which means the next one, whatever that may be... starts now?

Perhaps they're taking a leaf from nvidias book - influencers dunking on their bar charts gives a lot of free press coverage/mindshare

Debian? I noticed this too, switched from using LTS version to latest - much better. On arch, no FF issues at all.

Really feels like it could be an onion title.

Really that good? I've got back into using Cursor and if seems theyved u1

I've used vim to the stage that I not only know how to exit it, its muscle memory... And I still prefer nano. Its just better imo.

Some of the young team haven't seen a rotary phone before.. Using t9 typing must seem like encryption to them.

To add to this, I ran into a lot of issues too. And similar when using cursor... Until I started creating a mega list of rules for it to follow that attaches to the prompts. Then outputs improved (but fell off after the context window got too large). At that stage I then used a prompt to summarize, to continue with a new context.

Yes good idea - although it appears we would also have to account for the possibility of providers nerfing their models. I've read others also think models are being quantized after a while to cut costs.

I've got a working theory that models perform differently when used in different timezones... As in during US working hours they dont work as well due to high load. When used at 'offpeak' hours not only are they (obviously) snappier but the outputs appear to be a higher standard. Thought this for a while but now noticing with Claude4 [thinking] recently. Textbook case of anecdata of course though.

I agree most are flawed. I read one (I think from Sweden perhaps) that had a longer timeline and actually used some better methodology than others which seemed more insightful.

But as others say, at the end of the day if everyone has an extra $1000 a month, there will be groups such as landlords trying to jack up prices.

To counter other commenters on this issue - we do have price controls on things such as milk, bread etc and it does 'work' to some degree. In the landlords example above - a smart gov would implement an algorithm for 'greed' and fine/tax offenders and put that money into the UBI cash reserves.

I think UBI as a real possibility needs to be taken seriously. The level of AI has accelerated in such a short timeframe that (imo) we're starting to see the knock on effects into society. This is just in tech for now - thousands applicants for positions, and no one really needing to hire juniors as Claude et al easily replace the tasks they do.

Once other industries realize that they can replace a lot of tasks with ai, we'll see a gradual shortage of jobs for unskilled admin jobs (not manual labour... Yet)

There's a lot of shouting about AGI but the current LLM landscape effects are slowly happening around us right now. UBI studies should be taken more seriously and at a larger scale.

What about the paper, ink, labour involved? Why not slip $10 into envelope instead?

These are not required for self employed (nor is VAT registration up until certain revenue, as gp points out). However given nature of business and potential liability, seems LTD company should be the route to take.

I didn't see any request for a return envelope or stamp. Author decided to include them (unless I missed something).
