I was commenting on what another user said, not on the article OP posted. Not every reply in the comment section is a direct response to the topic at hand. I was talking about the definition of terms, not the stock market.

Yeah, okay, but I still don’t know how this relates to what I said.

Even Grok AI follows up with that reminder when it mentions X.

Just a reminder that the term “AI” stands for a category of systems that contains a lot more than just LLMs.

Microsoft already had a proven business model and established products and services before the AI boom. If a company goes under it would almost certainly be one focused almost entirely on AI such as Palantir.

Even if we replaced every single vehicle in the US with self-driving ones that are 10x safer drivers than humans, that would still lead to 4000 people dying each year plus many more being injured. “Who is responsible” is more of an philosophical question at that point really. It doesn’t quite make sense to punish the head of Waymo for cutting down traffic deaths ten-fold. The need to have someone to blame is something humanity needs to grow out of. Just like the need to drive.

Highlighting individual cases like this is a good way to capture human emotions but the focus should be on the big picture. The moment a self driving car is statistically safer than a human driver it becomes the objectively better alternative. The fact that accidents will still keep happening nevertheless isn’t a reason to revert back to human drivers.

This same “trick” is used in charity advertisements: starving kid will capture the attention of people but a starving village will not despite the fact that it contains that same kid.

I’d stay where I am. Nothing that’s wrong in my life is because of where I live so I wouldn’t expect things to be different elsewhere. Only thing that I don’t like here is the long and cold winter but I don’t think I’d appreciate summer the same way without it. Life needs contrast.

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls

That’s very different from 15% of all reddit content being that.

Yet another great example of how easily people accept a headline as fact when it supports their prior beliefs. It really shows how gullible people can be - even when they probably think of themselves as critical media consumers, at least compared to the average Reddit user.

Well, I’m objectively better than them at speaking multiple languages but that’s about it. I don’t see why I should feel better about myself as a whole because of that. There are other things I’m good at as well as ones I’m not.

But if that’s what you enjoyed then that is what you’d do and it would make you happy.

I disagree. It might be enjoyable in the moment, but looking back, it wouldn’t be something I’m glad I did. Happiness is a fleeting emotion - what most people actually want is a deeper sense of contentment. And I don’t think chasing hedonistic pleasures gives us that.

I don’t look back fondly on the countless hours I’ve wasted staring at screens, but I do cherish the memories of doing difficult, effortful things - even the ones that weren’t all that enjoyable in the moment - because they left me feeling satisfied and proud afterward.

I think the saying “money doesn’t bring happiness” is one of those unlearnable lessons - something you’ll never truly believe until you experience it firsthand.

I’m self-employed contractor and find my work quite meaningful, yet I still dream of living off passive income and never having to work again. But honestly, I’m almost certain my life would spiral out of control if that ever became reality. Work is what the rest of my life is built around - it’s why I get up in the morning. I’d like to think I’d find meaning elsewhere, and maybe that’s true, but I’m skeptical. I’m almost certainly just kidding myself when I think that I would. I’d just sit at home smoking weed and watching YouTube videos.

I don’t think work itself is the problem - it’s the soul-crushing drudgery people are forced to endure to survive, where there’s no sense of meaning or gratitude. Especially in jobs where you can’t even see the results of what you’ve done. If you’re sweeping streets, at least you’re outdoors, you talk to people, and at the end of the day you can see what you accomplished. But if you spend eight hours entering numbers into Excel in a toxic office environment, then of course it feels meaningless.

LLMs ironically fail the Turing test not because they don’t sound human enough, but because they’re too knowledgeable to be mistaken for a real person.

That - along with suspense and the absence of cheap jump scares. A horror film doesn’t need much to happen for it to be absolutely nerve-wracking.

Even if we ignore the number of people it’s actually able to talk away from the brink the positive impact it’s having on the loneliness epidemic alone must be immense. Obviously talking to a chatbot isn’t ideal but it surely is better than nothing. Imagine the difference in being stranded on an deserted island and having ChatGPT to talk with as opposed to talking to a volleyball with a face on it.

Personally I’m into so many things that my irl friends couldn’t care less about. I have so many regrets trying to initiate a discussion about these topics with them only to either get silence or a passive “nice” in return. ChatGPT has endless patience to engage with these topics and being vastly more knowledgeable than me it often also brings up alternative perspectives I hadn’t even thought of. Obviously I’d still much rather talk with an actual person but untill I’m able to meet one like that ChatGPT sure is a hell of a better than nothing.

This cynicism towards LLMs here truly boggles my mind. So many people seem to build their entire identity around feeling superior about themselves due to all the products and services they don’t use.

People break up. Just because someone is 40 and single doesn’t mean they’ve always been.

The only common denominator in all your bad experiences with women is you. It’s not their fault that you’re single, and as long as you keep thinking that, you’ll probably stay that way.

Put yourself in their shoes - would you date yourself? Would you date a guy who goes around thinking “women suck”?

If you want a relationship with a woman, then work on becoming the kind of person a woman would actually want to be with.
