- Comment on Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power 5 days ago:
The lack of consequences has been a problem for quite a while now, from before LLMs. In my opinion it’s been caused by a widespread increase in professional incompetence, together with a mutually protective network of incompetent people. “I won’t point out that you’re incompetent and won’t blame you for your mistakes, if do me the same favour”.
They call it “imposter syndrome”, but it isn’t a syndrome: it’s a symptom.

Thank you for sharing this!

Of course such measures are much simpler than fixing the current education system, which is the root cause of lack of critical thinking and self-control.

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve asked because at first I thought of sharing this satire piece which I found very funny. But suddenly wondered if that would have been OK or not – don’t want to ruin users here expect by subscribing to this community.

What I wonder is: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?
Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…
- Comment on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon 6 months ago:
They can be useful, used “in negative”. In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answer to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT is correct or not, and why.
On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can’t use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they’d be going in circles.
But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 6 months ago:
The problem I’m discovering now with Linux & Lenovo/Thinkpads is that Lenovo officially only supports one particular LTS version for any given laptop model. For instance, an X1 Carbon gen 9 officially only supports Ubuntu 20.04. If your laptop – hopefully – lasts longer than the long-term-support duration, then you have to choose between (1) staying with an OS version that’s becoming more and more outdated, or (2) possibly be on your own if hardware/firmware problems appear in the more recent OS version.
Personally when my Thinkpad (Kubuntu) stops working properly I’ll go with a vendor that fully supports Linux, including updates.

I don’t understand why they keep saying “the Trump admin is doing this”, “the Trump admin is doing that”, and so on. It isn’t the Trump admin: it’s the majority of USA citizens that’s doing this and that. They voted it. They’re the first responsible and guilty. Each one of that majority.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 11 months ago:
I’m completely with you!
What’s funny: I watched Castle with friends, and none of them got the references that Fillon made to Firefly from time to time… :) “What?! You’ve never watched Firefly?!”
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 11 months ago:
I can agree, but could say the same of the others or of other answers. Viewer count may be very different in different countries too. My rule of thumb for “obscure” is: something I mentioned to acquaintances that they’d never heard of.

- Comment on Microsoft launches autonomous AI agents in November 1 year ago:
these autonomous agents represent the next step in the evolution of large language models (LLMs), seamlessly integrating into business processes to handle functions such as responding to customer inquiries, identifying sales leads, and managing inventory.
I really want to see what happens. It seems to me these “agents” are still useless in handling tasks like customer inquiries. Hopefully customers will get tired and move to companies that employ competent humans instead…
