This is a huge release I’m really proud of. Please let me know if you have any questions.

> OpenAI could learn something...

Did OpenAI ever actually announce anything publicly regarding a potential windsurf acquisition?

AFAICT most of the reporting was based on rumors or leaks. But they never actually announced an acquisition. Seems like Bloomberg may have made an oopsie here.

The ChatGPT examples don't look like the new Image Gen model yet. The text on the dog collar isn't very good.

You don't think the literal nazi salute elon gave at a rally, twice, warrants any comparisons? Or that the administration flirts with annexing Canada, Greenland, and Palestine? Or that their support is driven through prejudice against migrants?

Ok.

They should. And sort of already do. Though, I wonder how difficult it is to register with some certificate issuers under a fraudulent name.

I wonder if we could add some type of verification registry. It would be nice if browser's could have a big indicator saying that this website is verified to associated with Dell inc.

How does automation reasoning actually check a response against the set of rules without using ML? Wouldn't it still need a language model to compare the response to the rule?

Awesome Job! The animations on the characters are really great and do a lot to make the game feel more alive.

Here's some ideas for improvements you could make:

- Add a button to go back to the main menu / exit the battle, I keep hitting the home button instead

- Add some sort of indicator to make it clear when an attack is charged. Also maybe some hints as to how attacks are charged in the first place.

- Consider moving the question input to inside the game instead of the alert

- Try playing around with the colors to make text easier to read.

Totally agree with the sentiment. I find the constant debates on "is AI conscious" or "can AI understand" exhausting. You can't have a sound argument when neither party even agrees on a concrete definition of consciousness or understanding.

Regarding this line:

> ChatGPT can already tell you a lot about itself (showing awareness) and will gladly walk you through its “thinking” if you ask politely.

Is it actually walking you through its thinking? Or is it walking you through an imagined line of thinking?

Regardless, your main point still stands. That a program doesn't think the same way a human does, doesn't mean it isn't "thinking".

Which is a shame. Because car travel in the US is still wildly more expensive than high-speed rail in other countries, while being a vastly inferior form of transportation.

Will this software come with perpetual maintenance updates? For how long? Do I get any new features for free? If not, is it really pay "once"?

Software is never "done". Developers need to be actively involved throughout the lifecycle of a software product. Which, to me, makes this sort of model unsustainable. I'd rather know that software I rely on won't be abandoned once the base of new customers drys up. And I don't mind paying for that.
