  • Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.



  • The problem is I also have a deep deep distrust of Google. So much so, I think I would rather pay a little extra for a subscription that I feel more directly benefits creators and doesn’t support a company who’s business model is selling spyware and tech addiction. For example, in addition to Nebula I’d consider Dropout TV, Floatplane, Curiosity Stream.

    There’s a certain level of cognitive dissonance on my part since I use Apple products. So I’m trying to slowly self host more things and migrate away from big tech.











  • Last I checked electric still required a significant amount of emissions for power generation. Only the car itself is “clean” energy. There is also a significant amount of emissions in manufacturing the electric car. I believe we should start phasing out gas cars asap and build a more green power grid. Personally, I bought a used gas car which I believe is more economic and better for the environment than a new gas car. And I live in a more walkable area now, so I do much more walking than I used to. I know I’m still contributing to the problem, but I’m trying to be better.
