There’s a lot of interesting perspectives in this thread already. Instead, I’ll add some books that have been recommended to me on the subject:

The AI Mirror by Shannon Vallor - it’s a good brief intro to start with

Empire of AI by Karen Hao - really solid investigative reporting on OpenAI

The AI Con by Emily M. Bender & Alex Hanna

Uhhh…hmm what a feast for the eyes

Thanks!

Who’s the author of Blindsight? I see several books with the same title when searching.

Finished Project Hail Mary a few days ago, wanted to get it read before watching the movie tonight. It was such a great read, Rocky was amaze! Started Player One by Douglas Coupland afterwards/now, as I wanted a genre change up, been quite a non-stop thrill when comparing to the length of Project Hail Mary.

On the nonfiction side, reading Metaphors We Live By (by Johnson & Lakoff) currently. Taking it slow as it gets me thinking about experiencing experience itself. Real meta stuff.

Didn’t realize a federated book tracker existed TIL, thanks and all the best with the job hunt - I feel you!

Bloody hell, there goes that.

Chef’s kiss 🤌

Ohh indeed! I’m all for more fuck Israel and Free Palestine

Watered down socialist vibes, I didn’t realize he was so centrist

Quite the thoughtful response honestly. I remember him standing out to me in the last debate (only one I watched), as he was the only one to condemn the genocide.

Wtf

Wtf that’s all kinds of messed up

Your mental gymnastics is next level

Your comments are batshit crazy

This is where domain expertise would come in, no? It’s speeding up the work but it usually outputs generic content, and whatever else it injects while hallucinating. Therefore the validation part holds up I’d say.

On its website, Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited describes itself as a “Proudly independent and family-owned” distributor of Coca-Cola products. It operates separately from the Coca-Cola Company.

It employs over 6,000 people nationwide. In January, it opened a $75-million state-of-the-art, AI-enabled facility in Calgary next to the building where Hopkins worked for decades.

Just opened a $75 million facility but you can only give hush money of $2511.20 (how do you arrive at this number even) - piss off

You’re welcome! Like others have said, look for a second-hand one or as in my case, if you can find a new one through a private seller. Rather not directly support Google either.

Can recommend the Pixel, after my 7 pro XL went to shit I’ve picked up a 10 pro w/ GrapheneOS - way better experience.
