Amazing model at this size if true, that's quite crazy!

Really cool and love the design, will give it a go

I'd personally target the "source" of the addictiveness: outlaw behavioral analytics that, on those apps, analyse any detail of your navigation (how fast you scroll, where you stop etc.).

A: Many people are not aware that's a thing: "I did not click like on a racist video, but it keeps showing them to me", when in reality, the algorithm detected that you slowed down when shown that type of content so decided to feed more of it to you.

B: I targets your worse instinct (oh a half naked girl, maybe she has something interesting to say?), and if you're not aware of point A, it's a loosing battle. If you are aware of point A, it's constantly tiring to have to adjust you speed scroll etc.

I would personally make a GDPR type law that would require: "Any feed of user data must be presented in a non-opaque way, such as chronological, ranked by upvotes etc. Any personalized feed based on expectations of user preference should be entirely transparent, by allowing the user to access, modify their profile, as well as locking them (preventing future behaviour from changing the type of content you see).

Interesting article (did not finish it), however the little apartes feel soooo condescending. It's impeding the reading in my case. Might just be me though, don't pay too much of a mind to it.

The overruling prompt of an LLM is essentially "give the most likely answer to the text above".

If you ask an LLM to say left 80% of the time and right 20%, then "the most likely answer to the text above" is left 100% of the time.

It's actually a specialty from belgium / north of France called speculoos, biscoff being just a brand of that type of biscuits that managed to export them worldwide.

In the north of France where I lived for a while, it's an absolute staple akin to what peanut butter is to an american maybe or Matcha to a Japanese. Speculoos butter is spread on bread, lots of pastries are speculoos flavoured etc.

Oh boy did that send me down a trip to memory lane. Played it as a kid in France, probably around 2002? God knows where I found that.

My 2 years 5 month old toddler uses Adobe fresco on my wacom tablet every now and then, she knows how to switch colours and draw, I erase the page every now and then for her.

She also watches every now and then "C'est pas sorcier", a french documentary series for kids that's pretty advanced (go into details of biology etc.), on all sorts of topics (nature, science, food etc.). That's also a good way for her to experience some French as we live in the UK and her only source of French are talking to me, or to her grandmother on the phone.

Just to be clear she does plenty of other activities, we cook together (she has a children's chef knife and uses it to cut things like tofu, carrots etc.), she draws on paper, she sings and dance, goes to the swimming pool weekly etc.

As for video game, that's more for later as she does not have yet the skills for that but at a glance

- Logic : Puzzle games, things like incredible machines, but also management game like sim-city. - Creativity : Any sandbox game, the sims, minecraft, drawing game, sculpting game, animal crossing etc. - Motor skills: Platformers, fighting games...

Essentially any game that requires a lot of effort for little reward, as opposed to games that makes you touch something shiny and shower you in visual and auditive feedback.

Yeah for sure, MLP friendship is magic is there in the list of high quality show. It's unavoidable that toys are sold on popular francises, I just don't want show that are obviously just 20 minutes long advertisements with little substance.

As always with that sort of conversation, I don't think "screen" is a valid category of interaction. Drawing on photoshop, watching a documentary on whales, playing bejeweled or using TikTok are very different activities that impact the brain differently.

My daughter is still young (2.5 years old), but I know that I'll let her play video games when she wants as long as it's as part of other activities in the day and that the games are ones that develop either her logic, creativity or motor skills.

Similarly, watching a quality show like bluey, or watching a full movie end to finish like Totoro in Japanese are watching activities I support, whereas watching some crap cartoon made to sell toys is not.

As always with GPT it's a hard balancing act. There is probably an instruction to ensure it does not visit urls un-necessarily, otherwise every request out there would trigger a search on bing if only to get more up to date information. Like "what is the capital of France" "Well let me ask Bing, you never know". Whatever protection they have is clearly overcorrecting in this instance.

Another point to support the same idea is data can be falacious.

For instance, you are making a pretty advanced 3D web app, and notice in your analytics that your userbase is only chrome and safari users.

An easy conclusion is to focus your testing on those two platforms, or maybe even drop support entirely for Firefox and Edge by using some webkit specific API.

A not so easy conclusion is the experience might be so bad or buggy on a non-webkit browser that anyone who tries the app in those just gives up on it.

The reasonable truth in this case? You should use standard browser distribution except if you're operating in a specific market, it might also be perfectly fine to drop non webkit browser if the ROI of developing them is not worth it for your goal etc. All of which does not need data but rather intuition and common sense.

- Did not work on firefox for me (start conversation and nothing would happen, I would not hear the voice) - on chrome it would not allow to change my microphone so had to open my macbook. - Also on firefox, when I first logged in, clicking on he "try now" button would send me back to the landing page, I had to go and click on the playground

With that out of the way, it's really interesting. The challenge I suppose is how narrow / wide the API made by the developer is. A narrow case, like "booking a dentist appointment", might feel like a step down compared to an online form, and most likely would fail short of satisfying someone calling, because if they're calling they had some deeper needs.

On the other hand, a wide API, like if you gave access to pricing information of the dental practice, info about the doctors, a way to reach an actual human being, health advice and post op advice, generate documents from past appointments etc, and you have a higher chance of hallucination, misclassification of what the user wants etc.

I'm still not sure if the best approach is just to leave the AI to deal with that, or to represent the user intent etc. with some sort of State Machine. Maybe a case by case etc. But the more you add in that logic, the slower the machine is.
