AI is just a tool, like a pencil. A pencil that can only write and draw what some faceless corporation somewhere allows you to write and draw.

“But I’d notice if the LLM started censoring my work!” Really? Did you notice this? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/72603 The point of cognitive automation is NOT to enhance thinking. The point of it is to avoid thinking in the first place. That’s the job it does. You won’t notice when the censorship kicks in

Some strange video I think I found on imgur that has been confusing me forever. It shows only the feet area on the ground of someone wearing their left shoe, next to a standup sock holder with a live crab inside, and a squishy foot long white oval thing filled with– something like shaving cream or whip cream.

The person steps on it with their right foot (which has a red toe ring on their big toe and a blue one on their middle toe) thus causing the contents of the oval thing to squish out from…

Why Apple should buy Perplexity and possibly keep going
Apple needs to jump start its AI strategy and the only way it's going to get there is through acquisitions. Here's why a purchase of Perplexity makes sense and why Apple may want to keep shopping. Bloomberg reported last month that Apple was discussing a purchase of the AI search startup. Let's look at why an Apple purchase of Perplexity, reportedly valued at about $14 billion or so, would make sense. Apple needs an AI strategy and story. Let's state the obvious: Apple is an AI laggard. Apple's…
