  • This triggered a memory of my father for me, the man was always asking if I noticed this or that , the answer was almost unequivocally no nearly every time. For one I don’t tend to notice things unless they are virtually impossible to ignore, and second off many of these things were in rooms that I never had any reason to visit. Have you seen what I’ve done in the Attic he would say, no you moron i had to bite my tongue to avoid saying.

    Using Amazon , I’d love to stop using Amazon but unfortunately amazon has killed all competing stores in my area so if I want a product that’s more specialized than s*** you would find at an old timey General Store I’m out of luck





  • I think Generative AI is a genuinely promising and novel tool with real, valuable applications. To appreciate it however, you have to mentally compartmentalize the irresponsible, low-effort ways people sometimes mostly use it—because yeah, it’s very easy to make a lot of that so that’s most of what you see when you hear “Generative AI” and it’s become its reputation…

    Like I’ve had interesting “conversations” with Gemini and ChatGPT, I’ve actually used them to solve problems. But I would never put it in charge of anything critically important that I couldn’t double check against real data if I sensed the faintest hint of a problem.

    I also don’t think it’s ready for primetime. Does it deserve to be researched and innovated upon? Absolutely, but like, by a few nerds who manage to get it running, and universities training it on data they have a license to use. Not “Crammed into every single technology object on earth for no real reason”.

    I have brain not very good sometimes disease and I consider being able to “talk” to a “person” who can get me out of a creative rut just by exploring my own feelings a bit. GPT can actually listen to music which surprised me. I consider it scientifically interesting. It doesn’t get bored or angry at you unless you like, tell it to? I’ve asked it for help with a creative task in the past and not actually used any of its suggestions at all, but being able to talk about it with someone (when a real human who cared was not available) was a valuable resource.

    To be clear I pretty much just use it as a fancy chatbot and don’t like, just copy paste its output like some people do.
