I think we should see a chart as % of “fabricated” references from past 20 years. We should see a huge increase after 2020-2021. Anyone has this chart data?

Ok and buys the laptop with malware? How the customs knows that high value target will buy that specific laptop they swapped the ssd? And what they do exactly? Put malware to steal his data?

Can you expand a bit? They didn’t notice the ssd swapped? Which country? Customs as in sending deliveries or passing a border with a laptop?

If were true then people could predict this AI many years ago

I think there is a correlation between when you can you expect from something when I know their internals vs someone that doesn’t know but is not like who knows internals is much much better.

Example: many people created websites without a clue of how they really work. And got millions of people on it. Or had crazy ideas to do things with them.

At the same time there are devs that know how internals work but can’t get 1 user.

pc manufacturers never were able to even imagine what random people were able to do with their pc.

This to say that even if you know internals you can claim you know better, but doesn’t mean it’s absolute.

Sometimes knowing the fundamentals it’s a limitation. Will limit your imagination.

Could you share publicly? Or it’s secret?

Yeah but what’s the bottom and the top?

Bottom is 0? Or is 1mg? Or what?

Top is killing a human by dose? Killing an elephant dose? Make you feel dizzy?

What’s too much? What’s being in the middle?

You see, it’s a stupid logic “in the middle”. The point is being in the middle or moderate is not always “good”.

Also it’s hard to define. Tbh only non logical people throw words like “in the middle” etc

“I use the computer a lot” :

For an average person: maybe means 8 hours.

For a dev maybe means: 16 hours

For a farmer: 2 hours.

Who’s right?

Better maybe fact based? I use ai X amount of hours per day. I use Ai for % of needs? My personal feeling of AI improvement in my life is +X%

Something like that. What you think?

Good question. I don’t know either. Just I know “middle” is not the right thing. It’s so easy to draw the narrative you wish - self fulfilling

Maybe your “sometimes” is too much for me or others. How can you ensure it’s in the “middle”? Maybe I consider extreme. Maybe others consider not enough. Like driving every day: is it extreme driving, or moderate?

You see how makes no sense this in the “middle” concept?

Do you know any translators? They all pretty much lost much of their clients.

Devs can write at a very fast rate with ai.

Personally I hate this “in the middle” as it’s so relative you can shape to fit your narrative.

For example: what’s in the middle for programming?

For me 0 is writing 0 and 1. For others 0 is making the nand ports.

And 100 is ai llm vibe.

So 50/middle would be what exactly? It all depends.

Same for anything really. Some people I know keep saying not 8 not 80 to mean the middle.

Like what’s in the middle for amount of coding per day? 12 h? 8h? 2h?

What’s middle for making money? 50k, 500k, 500m?

What’s the middle for taking cyanide ? 1g? 1kg?

What about water? What about food? What about anything?

As you can see, it’s all relative and whomever says it, is trying to push his narrative as “middle” aka correct, while who does more or less is “wrong”.
