I had a similar gut feeling. To use some possibly dubious and dated terminology, would a guardian angel also emulate my shadow self, particularly if that self was an important part of my identity? If I usually manage not to let my shadow self act out, but you could always tell it was there, would the same be true for my guardian angel? If all you do is use your guardian angel to write essays, then sure, a relatively low risk tool. But if military commanders are using it to oversee offensive drones (as proposed in the essay)?! Oof.

I love seeing this. Klondike with a physical deck was my “I need to do something with my hands or I’ll go crazy” release valve during the pandemic after work. I thought about trying to build something like this, but it was far outside of my technical ability. I settled for a simulator that would run toilet solitaire so I could see the distribution of cards remaining after games with a well-shuffled deck.

E4B is pretty good for extracting tables of items from receipt scans and inferring categories, wish this could be called from within a shortcut to just select a photo and add the extracted table to the clipboard

I thought most asteroids were basically just gravel piles loosely held together by internal gravity?

Can you describe this more? Is “edge_case” a key in the structured output schema?

The stacks of tablets were because of DRM (a cybersecurity method to manage the threats of data exfiltration, “Digital Romulan Management”)

An army of troll bots to shift the Overton Window?

You know that thing in anxiety dreams where you feel very uncoordinated and your attempts to manipulate your surroundings result in unpredictable consequences? Like you try to slam on the brake pedal but your car doesn’t slow down, or you’re trying to get a leash on your dog to lead it out of a dangerous situation and you keep failing to hook it on the collar? Maybe that’s extra latency because your brain is trying to render the environment at the same time as it is acting.

Reminds me of Nadia traveling all over Mars after the first failed revolution and building habitats from scratch using the huge robots in KSR’s Mars trilogy.

Very cool, but probably not solving the factors involved in housing unaffordability.

Forget Eeyore, that sounds like the break room in Severance

I find myself occasionally wondering if 8.11 is in fact greater than 8.9

I feel like this approach might be relevant to achieve the equivalent of “go sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.” Pull out two random poorly-rated chatbot conversations and have the model look for commonalities in its shortcomings.
