This is cool as hell--it takes a search query ('how does a Transformer work') and draws on sources to answer the question. Even better, it suggests follow-up questions that take you in interesting directions, laying it all out in an attractive, intuitive graph. The quality is really good, too. Its explanations are definitely as good as a solid college graduate's would be, and it's questions are uniformly deep and worthwhile.

@Aelthemplaer @Grimezsz Which is why we enshrined certain inalienable rights and don’t put everything up to a direct vote.

Chuck Schumer might, I think the rest of us are going to be fine.
DOGE had reportedly entered the IRS. Just so we can be sure everyone is on the same page: We're all fine if the entire agency is torched, right? No one is going to miss it?

@CJHandmer @elonmusk They know and trade on information the hedge fund managers would be thrown in prison for leveraging.

This is not only an important set of non-code use cases, it's also something that generative AI excels at. I'd love to hear more examples of this kind of thing, if anyone has some they want to share!

It's refreshing to find a politician with actual positions on important issues of the day. Not even that I necessarily agree, it's just that you can tell he's thought carefully about the subject matter. This isn't an intern using ChatGPT to summarize a few threads on X--he read books and papers about it, formed initial ideas, bounced them off his friends, refined them, then expressed them cogently in public. It's a sad commentary on the abysmal quality of the American political class, but still: it's refreshing.
even if you disagree with his optimism, you have to admit this is the first coherent speech any politician has given on AI

That just means “I’m aware of his dilemma,” it’s a reference to a state of knowledge. Abstract concepts are part of consciousness but are not themselves conscious, and nothing about that changes because they don’t have sensory qualities.
Are abstract concepts conscious? Perception has qualities like color, taste, and texture. Concepts like "democracy" or "mathematics" do not. And yet, ordinary language is full of expressions such as "I am conscious of his dilemma."

@TheAnnaGat Hahaha, I thought that was some kind of subtle dig at psychosexual dynamics, turns out you were just noting the paucity in Freudians.
