As the administration steps back from global affairs, it seems the State Department is searching for direction. Rubio would go like - we’re done with managing world affairs via the NSS, what should we do next? Let’s change the font for a new perspective!

> it seems the State Department is searching for direction

I would argue that it seems more like the State Department is searching for distraction moreso than direction. From the murders, theft, and the epstien files.

There is an even louder and more disruptive group of people who are proudly in support of genocide and are funding a majority of US politicians.

> Those questions aren’t monetizable. ... There’s an inability to monetize the simple voice commands most consumers actually want to make.

There lies the problem. Worse, someone may solve it in the wrong way:

I'll turn on the light in a minute, but first, a word from our sponsor...

Technically, this will eventually be solved by some hierarchical system. The main problem is developing systems with enough "I don't know" capability to decide when to pass a question to a bigger system. LLMs still aren't good at that, and the ones that are require substantial resources.

What the world needs is a good $5 LLM that knows when to ask for help.

This type of response has been given by Alexa from an echo device in my house. I asked, “play x on y”, the response was something like “ok, but first check out this new…”. I immediately unplugged that device and all other Alexa enabled devices in the house. We have not used it since.

This is the monetization wall they have to figure out how to break through. The first inkling of advertising is immediate turn off and destroy, for me.

I truly wonder how long until there is ublock origin or similar for AI tools. One can only hope a gorhill like figure will emerge to save us.

It was such a fun game! My friend group got really into the Shifter mod, you could build defenses for your base like walls and turrets. It was a blast!

I'd be curious how much of MSFT's code is generated by simple auto-complete (intellisense) vs AI powered auto-complete vs generated from a prompt.

It really does just look like no one with any industrial design experience had any involvement in the thing. Truck drawn by a child really is the only way to describe it.

I’m nearly certain that if I had any of my notebooks from when I was a child age 5-10 or so, there would be at least one vehicle I drew that is exactly like the Tesla truck. Though my version probably had rocket launchers and machine guns on it.
