As someone who works with CPR data in Denmark, this does not surprise me at all. Private companies access the data through an API, and anyone who works at such a company can look up CPR data as they please.

>“No way. They’re partying all night.” But they can, because there’s no top-down pressure to go into the office at 8 a.m. They’re free to catch supplemental sleep as needed throughout the 24-hour period.

This feels like the key point to me. These societies follow their body and go to sleep when they are tried, while us in the west have to sleep at a specific time to fit our schedules.

I enjoy 2 and 4 the most. I do a lot more hobby projects now that LLMs can automate 3.

I don't think consciousness is an is or isn’t. Something can be more or less conscious. Humans are quite conscious. Fish are probably also somewhat conscious, but less so than humans.

I'd say that an LLM perhaps represents something that would make a machine slightly more conscious.

The human brain also calculates a response based on some input, it's just a lot more complex.

If we build a machine that is as complex as the human brain, then yes, I would say that this is consciousness. The fact that we are able to explain how it works should not matter.

If a human is a 100 on the consciousness scale, an LLM (with memory) is perhaps a 4 or something. The interesting question is how far on the scale do you have to be to have certain rights etc. This is something that people are already discussing in regards to animals, i.e. a dog has more rights than an ant.

This is cool. Could be used for training. But it's a bit too easy when it's a game where you are expecting dangerous commands. The real fatigue comes from accepting hundreds of obviously safe commands during a work day. Then it's easy start accepting everything without really reading it.

Interesting. I noticed that many people have hay fever in Japan, but I always just assumed it was genetic or something. I wonder if living there for a long time will make you more sensitive to pollen

If your personal life is so complex that you need to "automate" it, I think you need to reduce complexity instead of throwing an AI at it.

>I do find it interesting that people don't mind AI content, as long it's "their AI." The moment someone thinks it's someone else's AI output, the reaction is visceral...like they're being hoodwinked somehow.

The problem is that getting an AI to answer a question is trivial. If I wanted to know what an AI has to say about the topic, I would just ask myself. Sending AI output has, as the author writes, the same connotation as sending a LMGTFY link. It does not provide me any value at all, I know how to write a question to an AI, just as I know how to use Google.

Why are they even maintaining two versions of the same game?

If using commas incorrectly means that you are AI, then I must be a bot.

Even worse, Windows now has menus with only icons and no text.

Is there really no way to make anti-cheat on Linux that can't be bypassed? I don't know much about this, but it seems very difficult to make an anti-cheat for a platform where you can make changes in the kernel.

For the record, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, or that i agree with it. I also find it very annoying.

I think the reason AI is being pushed everywhere right now is simply that companies want to experiment with it.

They want to explore what is possible and what sticks with users.

The best way to do this is to just push it in their apps as many places as possible since 1. you get a nice list of real world problems to try and solve. 2. You have more pressure on devs to actually make something that works because it is going into production. 3. You get feedback from millions of users.

Also, by working heavily with their AI, they will discover areas that can be improved and thus make the AI itself better.

They don't care that it is annoying, unhelpful or uneconomical because the purpose is experimentation.

We do this too sometimes and I love it. When I work on my own projects I always stop and refactor/fix problems before adding any new features. I wish companies would see the value in doing this

Also love the humble brag. "I've just closed my 12th bug" and later "12 was maximum number of bugs closed by one person"
