There are levels of nuance here, but certainly that puts it in the category of negligence?

Even without intent, there is still liability.

I have been considering this.

I bought a Macbook Air in the interm waiting to see what the Macbook Ultra looks like, but honestly—it's the best form factor ever. I love it! Even though it's only like a pound heavier, the Pro feels like a monster.

Thinking about getting a Mini or Studio with more horsepower to stay at home.

Any other apps or suggestions? I'm still not exactly sure what working this way looks like.

Yeah, I think most people here don't realize how far most of the population is on the adoption curve with this stuff.

I had a discovery call last week with someone who did not realize he could use ChatGPT for work. It was a revelation that he could drag a PDF into ChatGPT and it could summarize it for him.

FWIW, guy in his late-30s in a pretty senior sales role.

Honestly, given the price 5.6 Luna is pretty fantastic. I replaced GPT 4.1 mini in several projects.

It's also 50% cheaper if you only need it to run sometime in the next 24 hours.

Agree. The problem is over extended lengths of time the people with the skills to make these things—or make tools that make them—will leave the workforce.

That's how this goes from being a market issue to a skill issue.

I've done the exact same. I frequently take walks and walk places and often used that time for an audio book or podcast. A zen revelation has been taking these walks and not bringing my phone. It's my daily meditation.

Ancient brains, medieval institutions, godlike technology.

Tristan Harris had some sort of comment like that on a podcast about the challenges posed by AI.

Honestly, I'm pretty bullish on Apple and AI. I think there move is in local, open source models. These are getting better and better for generic ChatGPT—type tasks. I'm kind of waiting for Apple to ship their own Ollama. And it's going to be a huge win for both them and consumers.

Well, this guy isn't training models in his basement—if that's what you're looking for?

I think the point of this article is that AI enables people to do so much more? Much of marketing is creating engaging content and AI allows people to create more than ever.

On one hand this is so impressive. On the other it seems like a company selling drugs or medical services using misleading/generated photos and reviews is not great and extremely risky.

This must largely be going into testing and generating marketing content? I am extremely curious about his processes.
