Exactly. Wouldn’t want to catch cold.

Filling empty beer bottles with hand sanitizer. Pass them out at marches so people don’t get sick.

I dream just as big. My path to realizing them has only gotten more narrow.

My kids have been using cocaine to finish their math homework. It’s funny, their grades have gotten worse.

I only code with cocaine now, it’s so much faster.

I read a book the other day that was written with cocaine. It was called Maximum Overdrive by Stephen King.

…wait.

When someone online claims that LLMs aren’t AI, my immediate response is to ask them to prove they are a real and intelligent life form. It turns out proving you are real is pretty damned hard when it boils down to it. LLMs may be narrow AI, but humans are pretty narrow in our thinking as well.

I started a project back in January. It’s not ready for the public yet, but I’m planning for a early September release. Initially I don’t think it will be capable of much, but I’m going to be training it on various datasets in hopes that it is able to pick up on the basics fairly quickly. Over the next few years I’m aiming to train it on verbal communication and limited problem solving, as well as working on refining motor skills for interaction with its environment. After that, I’ll be handing it off regularly to professionals who have a lot more experience than me when it comes to training. Of course, I’ll still have my own input, but I’ll be relying a lot on the expertise of others for training data. It’s going to be a slow process, but my long term goal is a world wide release sometime in 2043, or maybe 2044, with some limited exposure before then. Of course, the training process never ends and new data is always becoming available, so I expect that to continue well beyond 2044.

You can kinda see this play out in the short story by Ted Chiang called The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate.

Yeah, I got the note air 4c and I can confirm it is amazing. However, it’s expensive. I don’t really have money to throw around like that, but I did some extra work and grabbed it. It’s phenomenal and I have no regrets. Great for reading, great for note taking, horrible for watching videos :) If its something that you’ll use, its worth every penny.

That’s true, and I overlooked that. I miss having a physical keyboard. I don’t want to shit on your purchase, if it does what you want, then great, it just doesn’t bring anything to the table for me.

Yeah, I have a Boox color tablet that I use for reading books and comics, but I also take A LOT of notes on it since I can use handwriting. This phone doesn’t bring anything to the table for me, but if there is a use for OP I’m not going to say it’s a bad purchase. I just don’t like the marketing behind it.

The e-ink display and expandable storage set it apart, but “minimal” can be achieved with some small effort by the end user of any smartphone. The idea that this phone will work magic for you and free up time in your day is just marketing. If you want your current phone to do less, then just uninstall the apps that are sucking up your time.

Cool. I just wanted to make sure my downvote and block was warranted.

Do you have any specific policies you are worried about?

Cambodia, according to some dead people that are in the know.

They somehow managed to be a worse Limp Bizkit.

Cubes. Cubes on cubes on cubes on cubes. It’s cubes all the way down.

Butterfly by Crazy Town

Michael Jackson Moonwalker, and it was a VHS. I watched it so many times the tape snapped. No regrets. Later in life I met one of the music videos directors randomly when he came into my bar. We geeked out about the video and it was super cool. For anyone interested, it was Jim Blashfield. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Blashfield

Does entropy have a knife?

For anyone keeping count, that’s about a day and a half per week.
