Mistral wont win the AI race because of the model names. I wont bother an arrogant Parisian hipster with my insecure prompts who then plays with his moustache and responds with a judgmental "pfff"

they call it Promethean Spas... Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where an eagle daily tore at his liver.

Ta da, this is the kind of future that will become the actual one, to everyone's surprise in the comment section.

fantastic work.

PSA: if you still think its not the time to fight for your rights for the status quo in privacy you will come to regret it. If you are the type of person who reads this type of news and thinks: "cool the system is working, it'll sort itself out" you will come to regret it.

you will need to become more active or it will be taken away

I love how you can think about any of these ideas in a really basic way like a 5 year old and you'll know intuitively that it'll all fail, particularly if you invert it:

for example:

- bureaucracy creates less bureaucracy

- price controls create more supply

- adding more rules creates more freedom

- government is good at understanding technology

- the more people you have the better your decisions will be

- the further someone is from a problem, the better they can solve it

etc

I am just working on a tool using websearch and iterating over different providers.

openAI, xAI, gemini all suffer from not being allowed on respective competitor sites.

this searched works for me with some quick tests well on YT videos, which OpenAI web search can't access. It kind of failed on X but sometimes returned ok relevant results. Definitely hit and miss but on average good

I respect your opinion, I have children and I dont want to tell other parents what to do. please take it as an exploration of a what real necessity is and what the notion of better is in which context.

I fundamentally disagree that making life easy is the right thing.

what I am trying to say is, the feedback loop from a) forgetting something or b) the experience of missing out on something because of aspects of life that are out of ones control is so much better IMO and the phone is just 'convenient'

Of course that doesnt mean I prefer my child to be run over or die instead of protecting her/him or helping her/him

THIS is it.

even all the above reasons are not actual reasons. None of these are a problem. you job is NOT to bring something to school because she forgot it nor to drive her to school if the bus doesnt show up.

the biggest thread to music is the audience.

a machine doing any of this would be not causing a meltdown by musicians in the 80s. A punk rock band would not feel threatened by this neither would be Prince.

the sad truth is human output is so averaged out now, that most of it will be replaced.
