>that also conveniently answers why AI won’t (can’t) end humanity

I don't see how that follows from a lack of will in AI.

I think GP wasn't pointing out your "s" but rather your "d" at the beginning. At least, I also assumed that you meant "reindustrialise" rather than "deindustrialise".

Why is that "the point"? You are the second person in this thread to insist on owning it.

I get why it's problematic, obviously, but if it produces statistically better results (which I have no idea of), I don't think it's right to just write it off because of this.

>When does it get too abstract?

When the abstraction detracts more value than it provides.

I think this is an interesting direction to explore. Plotly is fine. So is D3 and plenty of other solutions, but neither represent the ultimate pinnacle of charting.

>I went back and explicitly told ChatGPT not to resolve details that didn’t exist in the file.

I don't know what the author thinks this could have meant, other than "give me the original". Making up details is what he is asking it to do.

True, you can't see the eyebrows in the original, but you also can't see (IMO) an absence of eyebrows and since far more people have eyebrows than not, I would be extremely surprised if it had come up with a version without them.

Oh certainly, I was asking what the benefit would be to the opposite!

I wrote x86 assembly back when we were switching from real mode to protected mode, and I still have a feeling that I would not have been able to answer whatever question you asked there in a way that would satisfy you.

I also could no longer tell you how to balance a binary tree or implement Quicksort.

What would be the benefit of this, besides from looking cool?

You can quit apps from the activity monitor. It really does appear to be simulating an OS underneath. I am blown away.
