The interminable length has got to have started out as a gullibility filter before ending up as an unspoken imperative to be taken seriously in those circles

Only in these circles could an article that AI can read to you in an hour and forty-eight minutes be clickbait for the paywalled "companion piece."

This headline works in a totally different direction as well.

Not a cult just a following. Like Andrew Tate for nerds

Scam investigator Coffeezilla is working on the Rabbit AI guy, and he's off to a good start. Most of the other press is about the device not working, while this focuses more on the scammy NFT / crypto past of the founder.

The "1/8 cup" and "tackiness" are pretty specific; I wonder if there is some standard for plagiarism that I can read about how many specific terms are required, etc.

Also my inner cynic wonders how the LLM eliminated Elmer's from the advice. Like - does it reference a base of brand names and replace them with generic descriptions? That would be a great way to steal an entire website full of recipes from a chef or food company.

I have a business idea for him. Small batch alcohol produced by harvesting ethanol produced by this bacteria found in Aella’s teeth scrapings. Call it Mutella 1140, the official alcohol shot of rationalist orgies.

I tried very hard to use co-pilot for a quick logo creation task. CLL Consulting is a fake company name. I put in quotes like Microsoft suggested, but my output was not as smooth as the Microsoft TV commercial.

(on edit - when you hit the buttons on screen for "change the style of this logo to ___" like watercolor or whatever, it spells it in new and different ways)

A conspiratorial, passive-aggressive fool in the YC comments is not making any claims, just saying that this might be a protection racket.

Mildly interesting that the author runs a media relations company in SF. On the one hand, I am sympathetic to the general perspective of the original article.

On the other hand, that the same person is writing “hit pieces” and running a media relations company bears a certain resemblance to protection rackets of yore

Every scientist I know is always going on and on about how the Overton Window is about to shift on their field of study. This is how serious work gets done, by measuring public opinion.

someone wants to tell me that a model use is for it to plan my travel?

I don't think any of these people have ever traveled. Honestly, I used to work for a company where the corporate travel people mostly lived in a small village in Germany, and their recommendations could be insane sometimes, but at least they knew what being a human was like.

My first response would be “that’s a rather shite superpower then, innit?”

I was thinking the same, especially if it only works on busses.

Those photos at them working all over the world in exotic locations, including the FTX condos in the Bahamas... ... and still referring to themselves as "charity workers."
