Hope I'm not the only one that clicks on the link mainly because I'm curious to know how they "conducted" such a study. From what stated in the article, is it safe to assume that this has happened only once, ever?

That is indeed a convincing argument, and has been portrayed in various contexts, one of which is BBC's Sherlock when ... (oops, spoiler). However, there was no further explanation as to why there is an evolutionary pressure for the brain to do this trick, AFAIK.

Thanks for the response, I'll look more into this. So what you're saying is we need to understand the methods to devise countermeasures to such methods, instead of being model-agnostic. That sounds like a grueling task and truly an arms race. Best of luck to the team!

First of all, congratulations on the lauch! Your description about the "model of models" and combining their scores is really intriguing. Detecting deepfake is an interesting topic on its own and apparently there are lots of use cases that I'm not even aware of, partly due to my limited knowledge in this subject. There are a few points of I'm curious about (Beware that the following questions can be very silly, coming from someone having little to no experience in the field):

- What do you use as input for the model? Does it use all the pixels in all the frames in the input video? How about the video's metadata (location, extension,...)?

- My biggest concern about fighting deepfakes is that they have a point to achieve where the line between reality and fiction is nonexistent. Namely, if a deepfake video of someone can be created to look exactly like a real one if that someone decide to record such a video, I imagine there would be no way to tell the deepfake video from the authentic one (since there is no difference between the two). Because of that, this looks like a losing battle to me, but maybe I'm just too pessimistic. Do you feel that it is a real problem? Do you believe it is such a long shot that we shouldn't be worried about, or even if things reach that point, there would still be tools in our arsenal to counter such technologies.

Having a type system to figure this out for us would be great, but there are languages where this may not be possible. As far as I know, Typescript is one such example, isn't it?

If we can ignore the utility value of the negotiating pie (e.g. Alice may not want a 5th slice anyway), it is an interesting perspective. If only there were more examples and less explanation.

Do you have any example UI code that was generated by Luisa? It would be interesting to see how the issues that have been plaguing low code tools since the beginning of time including absolute positioning & element hierarchy.

The point about junior employees is reasonable. In such cases, we may have to find ways to really mentor them, not just to evaluate their performance, so listening and understanding their struggles would be of utmost importance. During a 6-month period when we had to adopt a full WFH mode, I've had to conduct a dozen sessions like that, and had some promising results so far, so progress while small are made. In time, even though they may not be able to improve on all their shortcomings, they start to realize when they need to reach out to other experienced members of the team or when to raise their concerns. Anyway, the point of working remotely is not to eliminate communication but to filter out the necessary from the distracting ones. That being said, a team consisting of mostly freshers will surely fall apart in either a WFH or an office setup.

That's actually interesting, I will look into more details to see if we can integrate this into our systems. Do you have any avaiable technical documents so we can get a glimpse of how Socket is working, or is your Blog the best place to start?

I believe blocking an honest discussion is never going to do more good than harm. The original post doesn't even suggest that we should overthrow our Google overlord to replace it with whatever we find interesting. It's just pointing various limitations and issues that Google users are facing right now. And apparently from the replies here, there are even more aspects that people are have troubles with.

It's true building a good search engine is an gigantic undertaking but if Google (or someone else entirely) is aware of the current issues, they may have ideas to tackle those problems and then we can all share a better internet.

Same for the argument with democracy and any other similar arguments, pointing out problems within our current institutions doesn't remotely mean that we want to abolish everything and start from scratch.

Do I have to wait for their invitation to join the beta list before I can try Kagi? The comments here are promising and I tried to take a look for myself but apparently only beta users are allowed in at the moment.

That setup sounds realistic, and I think the general idea is for the company (and other employees) to give employees what they want and recognize how they want to work. If someone prefers working at the office, it would be terrible to force them to WFH. However, it would also be unreasonable to force other people who enjoy working remotely to come to the office with them.

Regarding productivity, if someone does their best work at the office communicating with other people but prefers working at home, wouldn't they fall behind their colleagues when they opt for a WFH setup? And if they're still happy in that case, who are we to say they have to change the way they work? So let people realize that the decide for themselves instead of doing the reasoning and making decisions for them that they may not agree with.

Regarding social interaction, getting surrounded by other people at times is nice, since we're inherently social animals, but why would we utilize work to fill in that need? Getting isolated for an extended period of time would drive me insane, but getting surrounded by other people, who I may not be comfortable with, would also do the same to my mental health.

As for my case, I have found that people can disregard the practices we have developed in the WFH era since they can "communicate faster" now and that has been giving me lots of headaches lately. So when people say they are more efficient at the office, I automatically associate that with the tendency to ignore clear, coherent documents because people think they are "cumbersome".
