We understand reasoning enough to know humans (and other animals with complex brains) reason in a way that LLMs cannot.

While our reasoning also works with pattern matching it incorporates immeasurably more signals than language - language is almost peripheric to it even in humans. And more importantly we experience things, everything we do acts as a small training round not just in language but on every aspect of the task we are performing, and gives us a miriad of patterns to match later.

Until AI can match a fragment of this we are not going to have an AGI. And for the experience aspect there’s no economic incentive under capitalism to achieve, if it happens it will come out of an underfunded university.

It still solves one end of the problem. The cable problem probably needs enforcement from law side.

Like all dating apps they have a strong incentive to promote superficial short-term connections over long term relationships so they have repeated customers. The worst thing that can happen to a dating app is their users finding a long term partner.

That’s not inflation works. Inflation shouldn’t apply to everything at the same rate.

My first computer costed the equivalent to 1000 euros. Do you think the average desktop should cost 3000?

Honestly, the more that I think about it the more like the intro. It’s almost like a warning that you are about to watch America in Space - Bush Apologist Edition instead of Star Trek.

The tariffs changing every other day depending on how the orange toddler feels like is a much bigger problem than the value of the tariffs. If the tariffs where 500% for 10 years they could just be included in the price, but when you don’t know what the tariffs are going be on arrival it’s impossible to properly set the price.

Brand recognition. Which apparently is the only thing that matters these days.

There have been former Google employees saying they had solutions to deal with SEO, but they were vetoed by the ads side of business, since better results reduce “engagement”.
