Like Cream - Layla, basically 2 songs on one, completely different genres

He received it 9 months into his term. Some argue that it was not for his achievements up until that point, but for the hope that it would be different than Bush’s

I agree, and at the same time think it was ridiculous to give Obama the Peace Prize as well

My Siri is Australian, same reason

I’d say it works pretty well most of the time, probably depends on the coding language. I use it regularly for PHP/Laravel and JS, and still get surprised when it delivers full working functions from a comment.

There’s a free trial, give it a try

I use GitHub Copilot to write code for me, every day

Me too, I always assume it’ll take at least 30 minutes, but only 5 if I don’t wash my hair

Worms was so much fun

Solid choices all!

Nightcall by Kavinsky is just so good

LLMs are spontaneously developing theory of mind and nobody knows why or how, meaning that now ChatGPT and the like are able to consider what the user is thinking, opening some avenues for actual manipulation. GPT-4 can solve 95% of ToM tasks that a 7-year-old could.

Sometimes I’m taking a shower in the morning before work, and I want to enjoy it but I know I can also lose track of time. So I just yell, ‘hey Siri, what time?’. Also when cooking, hands dirty, ‘hey Siri, thirteen minutes’ and she sets the timer

The drums have some 16ths here and there though

“instant knowledge of everything”, except people’s true intentions, that’s my point

Funny, but my point is that if humans could’ve always had the power of telepathy, we wouldn’t need to invent languages and probably neither create most of the ideologies, tribalism, or belief systems necessary to gather a group of people together as one. If we didn’t have the capability to hide our true intentions, we might’ve evolved to follow the person / idea purely because they make most sense

Very interesting, thanks. What you reckon would an eventual response from the Pope be in case of irrefutable alien evidence?

I think OP picked ‘aliens’ because it would be an event where the whole world has to acknowledge that they exist and it would also contradict probably most of the current religions

Wouldn’t it be a more honest world?
