That's hilarious given that this entire site here is using the term unironically to refer to people in general, good stuff

Yeah, that was what I was refering to, no the specific part of the article. I've seen it much more here recently. Kind of disgusting and sad, but on the other hand it's good if people show their real face that way.

Is there a way back to calling human beings human beings and not "meat"? Or is the sociopathic Jeffrey Dahmer undertone now the new normal?

The internet was a mistake anyway, they should just ban it completely and be done with it.

I really appreciate this series of posts, as it serves as a good summary of key points of the discourse around AIs, and links to the relevant articles etc. I find following all those discussions myself exhausting, so if I can find this all in one place and read it nicely grouped, that is very helpful.

Personally as a lover of public libraries, which to me have always been places to discover old and new books in a quiet atmosphere, this change of the "library" to some sort of community center is rather annoying. You usually end up with a minimum viable amount of books, all the interesting stuff hidden away in a magazine, so that you can't browse and discover yourself, and a high level of noise and distraction everywhere. I'm not against creating such community spaces at all, but please keep the library alive and open and separate from those very different activities.

Not sure how that changes the fact that you can filter by date range in searches where you don't actually need anything recent?

LLM or not, this is just terrible kitsch.

Which is also a good filter for web searches to exclude a lot of garbage results (if the specific search makes sense for non-recent results)

This whole mission was amazing, and the most positive and hopeful thing I have seen as a global event in the last 5 years at least. Bravo and cheers to everyone involved :)

So which side is fighting for our values?

A slightly more controversial, but equally effective solution would be to glue an angry toddler to your handlebar.

This. For those more into reading instead of straight to therapy, Barbara Sher's "Refuse to Choose!" book about living with a multitude of interests can be a good starting point.

Also, making (or maybe tuning) a chess engine to teaching sounds like an interesting challenge, actually.
