I don't quite get how that would work. They were completing tasks to train models but via sms? Can you elaborate?

There's two seperate things DoorDash seems to be doing: "Tasks" in the physical world (taking photos of inventory on shelves, closing Waymo doors), and then some seperate app for training AI models.

As for Magic, they were an SMS-based virtual assistant. They still exist today. They went downhill. https://getmagic.com/

> closing Waymo doors

They can't reverse and brake?



Fifty two feet?! Damn!


Reminds me of Stone Henge in Spinal Tap https://youtu.be/zg5Ovdu6bOE

I run an HAOS vm via VirtualBox and then use Tailscale for a secured network.

I use a pocket for this scenario.


I've used tons of wired as well. Maybe have bad one pair fail at the wire? I'm super active with them too. Snowboarding with them and my Sony g shock in 1998. Lots of cycling and running usage. You've had every single pair of wired headphones fail for you? Every single pair?


> my Sony g shock

What is a "Sony g shock" if you don't mind? I know Casio's G-Shock and Sony's Sports series... did you mix them by chance as I suppose or is there a Sony range I'm not aware of?


Haha whoops, I totally conflated the two! The Sony Atrac3Plus had a feature called "G Protection". It was the only "anti skip" cd player that I tried that actually worked really well back then.

I also exaggerated the year a bit. After looking it up, I think this cd player came out in 2004!


Tons of wired headphones have little controllers on them to change songs and pause.


I couldn't believe it wasn't mentioned after that intro haha


I love this! Stealing it! :) It reminds me of T.H.I.N.K. before you speak. Ask yourself if what you are about to say is true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind!


I don't think the grammar is "good", it just uses speech patterns like LLMs do.


I 100% thought this was written by an LLM. You copy its style if it wasn't. Or it has copied yours! Lol


My understanding is it learns from us. It's to be expected that it often speaks the way we speak, especially in places like this, since it's a free source of training data.

I'm not sure playing "spot the llm" is going to be a good use of time in many cases.
