Is he specifying how to teach the Bible? Because as a “here’s some crazy shit people believe” approach could be interesting.

I’ve been forced to it young and I think it only built up my critical thinking and rejected religion altogether. Same with my siblings.

Post-WWII put propaganda/advertising to the next level. Social media turned that to 11.

The Lord giveth and taketh away Red Lobster.

Same for Google Inbox.

Immortan Joe styles water delivery. They might as well add the “don’t get addicted to it” line as well.

They have trouble grabbing a next-door land neighbor. They aren’t going to do well in a fully amphibious operation squeezed between Finland and Sweden.

Small so it can sneak into all their citizen’s lives.

Self-driving cars are AI. And they are butting against the Pareto Principle.

Breakthroughs are so interesting and the reason predicting the future of tech is so hard. Text embedding and “Internet scale” training are likely the things that allowed this AI boom and the amazing initial results.

I think many people see AI (and other tech) moving linearly from the current point forward but any software developer knows this is rarely the case. And no one can predict the next breakthrough.

It doesn’t help the hype and confusion around ML/LLM/AGI. And because on the surface LLMs seem intelligent people misunderstand their capabilities (much like politicians). They certainly have fantastic uses just as they are now but a lot of people are overly optimistic (or pessimistic depending on your point of view) of our new “AI overlords”.

Personally, LLMs are absolutely amazing at supporting me in my professional writing. I don’t let it do my work but it helps me play around to find a better way to express some things like if I had a sparing writing partner.

And he certainly wasn’t anti-crypto when it came to pushing his own lazy NFTs.

And for social networks, they financed Musk to get their hands on Twitter.

Why bother chopping up reporters (again) when they can just control the platform?

ATMs have tackled both issues for decades.

There is no certainty that LLMs can overcome the current limitations they are stumbling on.

I think developments in AI will come but there is no guarantee they will. They seem to be suffering from the Pareto Principle just like self-driving car ML models and this despite huge investments.

Desperate people in desperate times.

I bet ready to run copies of Firefox with Russian anti censorship add ons is going to be real popular on the very numerous Russian putacy sites.

Looks like the deceiving rich elite was inside of him the whole time. And he would gotten away with it if it weren’t for those pesky lawyers and harassed mourning parents.

The data is but the client gets the specific bits from a CDN. Now they need a server to stitch these server side and stream it to you.

Gravity’s a woke scam anyway, just jump from a tall place and drink those lib tears.

The Korean spices must flow!

Re-encoding is one thing, but ads are more or less supposed to be dynamic based on user location and likely some other data to target them.

Offloading that to the client made a lot of sense but now they have to do this server-side, they have very smart people working on making this as efficient as possible using tricks you’ve mentioned and more but it is still more effort than before. All for something that will likely be circumvented eventually.
