It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol

Psychedelics, man.

Because they’re like, cool, man.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.

True. I’ve worked in pretty small teams with usually 2-4 devs paired, so it kind of worked out as both what we got through, what’s next priority, and how we plan to split out that day. Especially if we were light on stories.

Yeah but then I’m up and sitting there like “oh shit, what the hell did I do yesterday?”

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

Tanks roll in and the net number of terrorists goes up instantaneously. And no, I don’t mean radicalizing children. Fragging COs would have better anti-terrorist outcomes.

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

Say psych, right now

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.
