Depends on how deeply is the ad hidden. If the LLM-engine is using some deep level manipulations over a long period I'm not sure if blocking that ad would be possible.

What I forsee is a future of "local" AI engines. I think Apple is waiting for its moment for when people will ask for private-offline AI tools + a lot of smaller companies will follow. It won't be a huge success, but it will be popular in HN and in tech savvy crowd.

Ofc, it's only a personal prediction.


Yeah! It's unique, has a personal charm and also everything seems to fit together nicely. Fun to discover such pages, reminds me of the old days, haha!

It's just another business/service niche that is solved until the current Big Provider becomes Evil or goes under.

Similar to "made for everyone" social networks and video upload platforms.

But there are niches that are trip planning + there are no one solving the pain! For example Geocaching. I always dreamed about an easy way to plan Geocaching routes to travel and find interesting caches on the way. Currently you gotta filter them out and then eyeball the map what seems to be nearby, despite there, maybe, not being any real roads there, or the cache is probably maybe actually lost or has to be accessed at specific time of day.

So... No one wants apps that are already solved + boring.


Reminds me of something from Warhammer 40k universe. Next someone is going to put ChatGPT helper inside a human skull, probably :V


In the future, when humans die, their neurons will be sold and repurposed in local AI's.


“Oh, look, he’s dead. Let’s sell his neurons.” The neuron harvester says as he wipes the blood from his knife.


>In the future, when humans die, their neurons will be sold and repurposed in local AI's.

In the future, humans won't need to die to have their neurons sold off as hardware for the AI.

Incidentally, that's the original idea behind the movie Matrix: humans are used as CPUs for the Matrix. The word is, the idea was too advanced for the audience and was dumbed down into "humans are batteries".

I guess we'll have to treat Morpheus as unreliable narrator, or assume that the real energy in the future is compute, and suddenly the movie makes 100x more sense.



Kinda like paper newspapers. In some ways it's "not optimal", but in many ways it's irreplaceable.


By this point we can also discuss what is trully original and what if creative work is just "stealing" ideas that other people "created" before.

(I don't have an answer, just wondering.)


When people say AI isn't creating anything novel it's just predicting the next word I wonder whether my brain is just predicting the next word I should type here.


> can't actually verify

Why? Can't it be done same way it's done with copyrighted material: by checking the authors process?

(Because at least in EU law permits writing basically same thing, if both authors reached it organically - have a trail of drafts, other writing process documents. As long as you proved you came upon it without influence from the other author.)

Proving that you done it without AI can be similar. For example - just videotaping whole writing process.

Now, as for if anyone cares about such proofs is another topic.


I sneak out to the toilet and ask chatgpt what should happen in the next chapter. Or do you stick a camera there too?


>Proving that you done it without AI can be similar. For example - just videotaping whole writing process.

Which proves very little. It also would be something which authors would absolutely loath to do.


Swipe right if you vibe with AI suggestion, swipe left if not.


With Meta's wristband, you can save some finger and arm movement as well.


No joke—out of all tech products announced in the last ~year, that wristband is what excites me the most.


I wonder what is this fascination with human shaped robots, if spider shaped robots could be more dexterous and productive.

(Unless it's sci-fi and porn that is mainly pushing for human shaped robots.)


The built environment fits the human form factor well. Imitation learning and intuitive teleoperation is also easier. But it won't be the only form factor. The quadruped form (like Spot) is also popular, as well as drones etc.


As the saying goes, is it even theft if you don't own the device? (If you can't do whatever you wish.)


Yes, Apple rents me some very powerful hardware that allows me to make a living.

Someone depriving me of it is theft.


If we want to split hairs, technically it’s robbery, which is more serious than theft. In the UK for example, the maximum sentence for robbery is life imprisonment.


That is a particularly idiotic saying.
