I think it's pretty obvious that people who offload their thinking to an LLM will eventually get used to not thinking hard about things. Anything you do that you stop doing regularly eventually atrophies. Thinking hard about things and performing on work is as much a skill as it is an innate property of being smart, as evidenced by the many "prodigy" sort of folk who languish in obscurity later in life.
A lot of people do outsource their thinking to AI, so it's not that weird to bring up. That's effectively how many AI companies are marketing the technology.
But it's definitely possible to use AI without letting it think for you. OP should at least acknowledge that.
Those who dogmatically refuse AI outright may be disadvantaged for some things in the future. But it's also probably hyperbolic to say they will be "left behind".
Free VPNs are also at the top of the UK App Store. All of them look extremely dodgy, probably ran by foreign adversaries seizing the opportunity to slurp data.
Overconsumption leading to widespread obesity while a large fraction of the world is hungry - the capitalist solution? Let's invent a pill so we can eat EVEN MORE.
I feel like this is a weirdly cynical response. GLP-1s actually inhibit appetite. I took a friend on them once to a nice cafe I’d found and even though he agreed their pastries were delicious he didn’t finish his and took it home. There seem to be pretty clear signs that GLP-1 inhibitors are decreasing overall food consumption.
I’m not even sure this is a capitalist solution. Sure, Novo Nordisk is making a ton of money with these pills at the moment, but at least externally it seems like their decisions are controlled by the foundation (of course, money talks and no one is immune).
I know plenty of people who are scared of needles and I’m not sure they should have to suffer from diabetes if they should develop it.
Separately, and I’m not an expert but slightly more knowledgeable than a layperson, but food scarcity is rarely because of overconsumption in the global West. The blame usually lies with corrupt local organizations working with NGOs and poor quality transmission routes rather than global food markets.
I think of it differently. Capitalism has altered/hijacked peoples reward centers with hyper refined foods and it's a huge struggle for a lot of people to get out of that. We had drug pushers and very little help to get out of the addiction loop.
I used to think people just needed to "eat less", CICO and etc. Just like i thought people needed to just get off drugs. I think that's wrong, now.
These days it seems more apparent that some people are just more prone to addiction. The fact that i don't struggle with drinking or drugs is not due to my own will. Neither do i struggle with food, i'm frankly indifferent to food. So just as much as i seem gifted by nature to not be addicted to these things, others are innately pulled towards addictive substances.
This was after a two year investigation by joint members and orgs of the governement, it's not a single event being blown up - I agree it could be weaponized, but its like not treating an infected wound with antibiotics because you don't want yo hurt your microbiome - wrong priorities
Edit0: reworded
Edit1: "Federal organizations involved: Canadian Security Intelligence Service; Communications Security Establishment; Department of Justice; Elections Canada; Global Affairs Canada; The Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections; Privy Council Office; Public Prosecution Service of Canada; Public Safety Canada; Royal Canadian Mounted Police"
Many MPs involved as well. Hard to look at this like it's not worth releasing the report unredacted and take action
It would hardly be the first time intelligence community certainty fell apart under further scrutiny. I'd be leery of giving unelected spooks veto power over elected legislators.
Perhaps you aren't from Canada. Our judicial system has turned into quite a joke over the last decade. It's not unusual for even hardcore criminals to not be prosecuted, or to be charged and then have the charges thrown out due to failure to provide a timely trial.
The correct thing to do here is what is done when any other serious potential crime comes to light among MPs. Release the names, have their respective parties kick them out so they sit independent and then proceed to trial. What has been done is completely untenable. Any party that signs the security clearance agreement to see the names effectively can't act on that information because it would disclose the confidential names. Whoever these people are can't be allowed to hold any serious position either until/unless their names are cleared in a trial.
Obsidian has given me everything I had dreamed of in terms of organizing tools, and now this is the cherry on top! I tried so many mindmap software (many paid!) and they all fell short 20 different ways, this is great to see!
CO2 meter - small appartment, both of us working from home since COVID, windows shut at all times because of air quality / heating, found out we were living at very high average CO2 levels, instant fix for weird mental fatigue opening the windows whenever the levels are too high.
VPN, pseudonym, don't reupload any previous projects, avoid contributing to same projects that created problems, behave better in the future? I don't see how they could 'hunt you'.
I don't have a Github account, yet my code is in there with my name on commits. Someone else cloned the repos and pulls from them regularly.
The identity working with the code doesn't have to match the code.
Are you saying they will ban some "foo" account if it pushes code into a repo where some of the commits are authored by some user "Non Grata <bar@whatever.com>"?
