It's also from an era where you used one piece of software doing routine tasks that rarely changed.

Imagine learning all the keyboard shortcuts for every website you use nowadays.

For example I worked at a video store long ago that had some dos program to manage everything, I didn't own a computer and I didn't use any other software. It was still often a slow turd, and it wasn't networked with the 2 other local stores, so if I wanted to know if a customer had an account there, or if they had some stock there, I had to call.

> [2] To preempt the inevitable petty drive-by pedant, I define "human" as any animal with these two properties, so according to this view, an intelligent alien from another planet would also be human, despite occupying a place in a separate phylogenetic tree or whatever.

Your alien might have some 3rd property that you do not, and thus may farm you.

A future AI that can produce and consume the sum total of all recorded human knowledge within the amount of time that you have a single thought will likely have many emergent properties that you do not, and thus may farm you as well.

Your whole argument rests on sentiment and convention, and would have been summarily rejected by the slave owner based on his own.

> insincerely

You think these guys would become conscientious objectors if they got the order to man the gas chamber? You think they would have passed up the chance to visit Epstein island?

Somehow I don't

But you're never going to get that out of the prompt that is being used to generate these Pelicans. You're judging it on something that's not even being attempted.

True, there was a smaller service area. Luckily I lived in NJ so you could throw a rock and hit 3 pizza shops.

> There was nothing stopping Pornhub from releasing their own LLM

There's probably a lot stopping them considering there's about 3 companies making models that aren't shit.

And the pizza arrived hot because they had an insulated pizza carrier. The good old days.

If we assume that on the podcast he presented a well reasoned opinion based on competitive analysis and public sentiment and whatnot, which is a big if for this guy, then I'd ask what changed? If he's truly desperate now, why wasn't he 2 months ago?

Maybe he just looked at their analytics and saw that everyone is trying to have virtual sex with it?

What do you mean start? It's been a thing the whole time

Why desperate? There's clearly a demand for it.

Neither does developing software given we've all been doing it for ages despite the M5 not existing, still nice to have though.

Plus you get more longevity, I'll keep my M4 iPad Pro until doesn't get OS updates anymore. I still feel no impetus to update my M1 laptop despite it being 4 years old.

Any tablet or tablet mode laptop I've used on windows is fucking miserable, so I've always assumed it was more a user experience thing rather than some plot to artificially limit neckbeards

That's true, and I would have gone for a 13" iPad Air when they were introduced, but ultimately went for the iPad Pro because I liked the OLED and 120Hz.
