Well, it’s not really a rational world. I mean, Tesla stockholders somehow still want Elon in charge despite sales, brand value, public perception, and product quality declining under his watch.

They should make a “Firefox Core” which contains only the browser with basic features, and then make another version which contains all the “fun” stuff.

The Constitution and what army?

In a rational world, that fiasco would have resulted in shareholders angrily blowing the e-mail inboxes and telephones of every member of the board of directors and Zuckerberg would have resigned in shame years ago.

I’m not the parent commenter. But I’m Chinese and I can confidently say that living in the United States for your average citizen is far more comfortable than living in China.

You can say all you want about how unfair the US economy is to the average working-class citizen but at the end of the day, it’s still a high-income country, and we have running water, electricity, unfiltered Internet access, good public sanitation, and reasonably-modern housing. There are some villages in China that I’ve been to with a total of six electric plugs, toilets that need to be flushed with a bucket, a barely-working 3G cellular connection, and where you can’t drive faster than 20 km/h without destroying your car.

Don’t take these things for granted, because you don’t know what it’s like to live without them.

It’s not. The US taxes its citizens based on income earned worldwide. This prevents wealthy citizens from continuing to enjoy the benefits of US citizenship and use a US passport while also using tax schemes to pretend all their income was earned in foreign tax havens and not subject to income tax.

The first day you use an LLM for your work will be the single most intelligent, productive day in your entire working career. That’s it. That will be the peak.

Your productivity and intelligence will only decline from there. Until it reaches functionally zero.

Right, but I’m saying that the process that the human is using here is actually not that different from what the AI is doing. People would misread the passage because they expect the number 20 to be followed by the word “pounds” based on their previous encounters with similar texts.

A human who says “neither” would say that because they’ve heard this question before and assumed it was the same.

To be fair, a good proportion of humans would also say “neither” because they did not read correctly. It’s not smarter than humans, but it also isn’t that much dumber (in this instance, anyway).
