Sorry, should have clarified. By "no person in the loop" I meant from the side of the language model itself. The person is interacting with a thing which produces content for it, and the only person engaged in that process is the person consuming the content.

Great point, actually. In many respects these language models doing this could be similar to how YouTube used to platform Alex Jones before removing him. Regardless, I still believe its the responsibility of the creators of these models to work on mitigations

Agreed here. My personal opinion is that this is fixable, but it would require reinforcement into the models that counteract the sycophantic stickiness that most companies use to drive engagement, so it won't really ever be a priority.

I disagree, because the television was never talking back to you. By the medium directly engaging with the person, the responsibility / enablement of this issue is more on the company than previous non interactive mediums. It would be like if a movie caused psychosis in people, and the sequel doubled down / enabled that. Even though there's no person (besides the consumer) in the loop, there is responsibility to train these systems to reduce the amount of these cases.

areweanticheatyet.com has a good list

As a visionOS user (somewhat) what is so funny about all of this is that the translucency effects in visionOS are significantly toned down compared to liquid glass for this specific reason. The glass is heavily diffused, you can maybe get an idea of what is behind (a person moving, a television thats turned on) but nothing even close to the level that I have experienced in the iPadOS beta

To add some validity here, I think to an extent we already see distributions aimed at converting Windows users moving in this direction. Zorin OS has Wine support for .exe's almost out of the box, and there's Steam OS / Proton, where (if I recall correctly) the official guidelines for the Steam Deck state that developers should NOT create native Linux ports for new games, but rather optimize around Proton itself.

Was working on a similar thing last year! Might as well open source at this point too.

I highly recommend taking a look at some tech starter packs, as i've found them to be very helpful in moving away from that feed. I agree that the political discussion is definitely still in that stage though

At least in my experience, this is also how Azure continues to function. Certainly reduces stress in the working environment

I am just a software engineer that wants to organize my tabs (documentation, repositories, pull requests, on call incidents) in a way that my brain can comprehend. I don't see how that makes me "management class"

Bard has certainly become better over the past few months, and while as a product it is worse in some ways (seems to have a purposefully low understanding of the previous context in a chat) it is up to date with somewhat current information, unlike GPT where you need to pay money to access its web browsing capabilities.

I'd argue Twitter is just as complex, because Twitter's product is its users and the content they create, where the others are governed by the laws of physics and making a good car (i have one, they're good!). What you have is a bunch of engineers on twitter going "ah yes, its just a social network feed! I wrote that in CS244 as my class project. how hard could it be", forgetting that twitter is an international network with tens of thousands of hyper targeted communities that feed off each other, diplomats that negotiate with governments and communities, etc. Not to say that this is impossible for anyone else to make, but it's a lot harder than just launching a site with your hundred engineers. i'd recommend reading platformer.news for a good
