  The post you responded to was responding to someone that got in trouble for using a pay phone to call home when school was canceled.

  It’s too bad the websites that do this don’t have to put a label on it in the U.S. Something like “Not for consumption in the E.U.” to make people wonder what’s going on.

  I had no idea about this. I studied neural networks briefly over 10 years ago, but hadn’t heard the term until the last year or two.

  After thinking about it more, I think the main issue I have with it is that it sort of anthropomorphises the AI, which is more of an issue in applications where you’re trying to convince the consumer that the product is actually intelligent.

  You may be right that people could have a negative view of the word “hallucination”. I don’t personally think of schizophrenia, but I don’t know what the majority think of when they hear the word.

  What I don’t like about it is that it makes it sound more benign than it is. Which also points to who decided to use that term - AI promoters/proponents.

  I think this is part of why Amazon is introducing ads the way it did. People instinctively hate ads, so they have shorter ads and they get longer deeper into the season. Essentially retraining people to accept ads.

  The only non-Apple laptop that has lasted me for years was an asus from 2013. Probably cost me $1900. Luck of the draw for me, I guess. I always thought highly of the company because my HP and Dell laptops fell apart so fast (even the ones that cost close to $1900). I know Lenovo always had issues with back doors. I guess there aren’t a lot of options these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How long is the average laptop usable, though? I still have a 2012 MacBook Air with 4GB of ram that gets daily use with no visible issues. I don’t feel like it’s slow. I don’t feel like there’s much daily business it can’t do (mostly web/email/pdfs/virtual meetings or classes/excel/word). I’ve also had about 4 windows laptops since about 2011. My primary desktop is a windows gaming PC and I complain more about its quirks than I do about the Mac.

  Then LinkedIn can sell HR AI to parse these resumes.
