People have become so reactionary to LLMs and other AI stuff. It seems there’s a “omg it’s so cool everybody should use it to the max. Let’s blindly trust it!” camp and a “it’s awful and shouldn’t exist, burn it all! No algorithms or machine learning anywhere. New tech is bad!”

Both camps are just as stupid. There’s zero nuance in the discussion about this stuff, and it’s tiring.

Well said.

Sure, but the original quote was:

Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired

There’s no nuance there it’s just AI = bad. I agree that it’s shouldn’t, in its current form, be used as a substitute for skill in important situations. You’re totally right there.

‘Everyone anywhere’? That’s an amazingly broad statement. What’re you defining as ‘using one’? If I use ChatGPT to rewrite a paragraph, should I be fired? What about if a non native speaker uses it to remove grammatical errors from an email, should they be fired? How about using it for assisting with coding errors? Or generating draft product marketing copy? Or summarising content for third parties to make it easier to understand? Still a fireable offence? How about generating insights from data? Assistance with Roadmap prioritisation? Generating summaries of meeting notes or presentations? Helping users with learning disabilities understand complex information? Or helping them with letters, emails etc? How about if it use it to remind me of tasks? Or managing my routines?

All of them are men, thanks to titles that can be passed only to male heirs, all are white and most are over the age of 70. Of the 92 hereditary peers, 42 are Conservatives and 28 are crossbenchers.

No big loss then…

We got greedy and people didn’t like it.

From the same study you linked:

However, if each lost quality adjusted life year is considered to be worth €22 200, the net effect is reversed to be €70 200 (€71.600 when adjusted with propensity score) per individual in favour of non-smoking.

Then there are the risks to other people from second hand smoke: https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/stopping-smoking/reasons-to-stop/dangers-of-second-hand-smoke/

I hope whoever took this photo got to hold a baby lamb.

Would that we could all hold a baby lamb this day.

No, I’m looking at the images and thinking that it’s not sunk. Which is what the Houthis are saying it was. Which is what the article is proving false. Which, again, is news not ‘copium’.

The better wording might be ‘British registered ship attacked by Houthi fighters, damaged and may sink’ or something. It’s very deliberately proving that the Houthi propaganda around its sinking is incorrect. That’s not copium, it’s news.

I mean, they’re not lying. It hasn’t sunk.

No, because this time they super pinky promise they won’t need to crunch. Trust me, bro. This time they won’t. They promise, bro.

It’s a really great idea, tbh. Why not give back to your local grid any energy you’re not using. Works well for everyone then.

Yeah, likewise. I was surprised by how not shit the story was, tbh.

So? The trick is to keep developing the technology, not give up because it doesn’t immediately deliver unlimited energy.

• Quit to desktop. I don’t want to have to click ‘quit to menu’, watch a loading screen, then watch a menu launch animation, then click ‘quit to desktop’, then click yes I’m sure, then watch a game quit animation just to get back to Windows.

• Any and all disability enhancements. The stuff naughty dog put in TLOU for example need to be replicated in to every game. Allow as many people as possible to play.

• Official mod support.

• A decent in-game photo mode. I’ll credit Ubisoft for having really good photo tools in their recent AC games, for example.

• The ability to add my own music to any in game music playlist/radio station

Why’re you acting so angry about this?

Tbf there is only really anecdotal evidence regarding the benefits of flossing, anyway: https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/08/06/flossing-isnt-backed-by-science/

It’s never too late to keep trying.
