AI does not exist? Have I missed something?

Chances are very high that AI will indeed one day be good enough.

For know I wouldn’t take it for any more than a slightly more capable rubber duck that can be useful as an assistance tool. Not a replacement.

Different waters taste differently. Tap water taste differs from region to region. Bottled water tastes differently between brands and also compared to tap water. This is also caused by varying amounts of minerals.

If you think your sense of taste works fine, but can not tell taste differences in water, try making direct comparisons. Take some bottled water and some tap water (if it is safe for drinking whereever you live). Then take a sip, focus on the taste. Try making out differences. Repeat a couple of times.
If you still can’t make out any differences and you weren’t impatient, it might be worth training your sense of taste first, because water does have a flavour.

Leitungswasser > Flaschenwasser

In Deutschland ist Leitungswasser auch deutlich sauberer als Flaschenwasser. Für Flaschenwasser gelten weniger strenge Regulationen, was den Schadstoffgehalt u.ä. betrifft. Leitungswasser wird hierzulande auch flächendeckend gründlich und häufiger, teils täglich, kontrolliert. In Bezug auf Mineralwasser gibt es nur wenige Mineralwasser, die mehr Mineralien enthalten als Leitungswasser. (Gerolsteiner zählt afaik aber zu jenen wenigen.) Es ist auch regglär so, dass Leitungswasser sogar mehr Mineralien enthält als Flaschenmineralwasser. Dann kommen noch Umweltaspekte hinzu. Bei Leitungswasser entfällt die ganze Logistik und Vermüllung aufgrund der Flaschenabfüllung, Verteilung und Entsorgung. Damit ist Leitungswasser auch deutlich umweltfreundlicher und nachhaltiger. Günsitger ist es auch. In Bezug auf Mikroplastik ist Leitungswasser idR auch weniger belastet als Flaschenwasser.

Leitungswasser für den Gewinn!

Depending on the application case and benchmark, being 0.1 to 0.3 % better than other SOTA approaches can still be statistically highly significant. Even though such a number does notmlook like much, it can mean a large leap forward in practise.

Anyway, I wouod add a machine learning paper type that was written by an LLM and nobody cared to call that out in the peer review.

Can not recommend from personal experience. Their phones break easily, including electronic malfunctions. And their customer support sucks. According to them, they do not even like to have the phones to be taken outside.
On the upside: they are usually easily repairable. Do always make backups of important data, photos etc. from day one though.

I have been calling them Shitphone since. Feels more appropriate.

Es geht Leuten auf den Senkel und erregt daher Aufmerksamkeit. Ähnlich wie bei der letzten Generation damals.

Mit dem Unterschied, dass LG um etwas super unwichtiges gekämpft hat und daher keinen Erfolg damit hatte. /s

Schön, wie professionell das kommentiert wird. :D

I recently began casually installing games on my Ubuntu system which I use for work. Apart from sound issues that I have because the drivers currently have issues with my specific hardware, I am surprised how ridiculously easy it was to run games. Steam’s Proton compatibility layer sure does the crucial work. But it’s usually just as simple as install and play.

Worst I had so far was a graphics glitch which was solved by using Proton GE for that title instead. Okay, and Wayland seems to make it hard for games to set the screen resolution and possibly fullscreen mode. But switching to X11 helps to get around such quirks.

I’d say know your tools. People misusing “stuff” and being vulnerable to it in general is nothing new. Yet, in a lot of cases, we rely on independence and maturity in the decisions people make. This is no different to LLMs. However, of course meaningful (technological) safeguards should be implemented wherever possible.

Lucky for them to be prominent and not coming from south of the mediterranean sea. Otherwise they would have drowned and nobody would care.

Imagine having that much money. Then imagine how much good you could do with that in the world. And then be like: “nah”.

And today another finding in the series: “humans are stupid”.
