Agree, jokes & picture aside, I always hated this type of comparison.
You’ll allowed to be sad if you miss your train, even if other people have their houses bombed and are starving.
You’re also allowed to be happy if you get a raise, even if others are already billionaires.

I think this chart overcomplicates it a bit. Almost a decade ago, I worked on a very short project that touched on this topic. One expert explained to me that the difference between level 4 and 5 is that you don’t need a streeting wheel or pedals anymore. L5 can drive anywhere, anytime in all situations.

I had a “similar” thing with a British colleague.
We have been working together for months already, then once he made a joke of aiming to be the first POC James Bond. That was the point I realized he’s not white. I of course seen he has a darker (brown) skin tone, but I didn’t pay any attention to it. Turns out he’s parents are from South Asia.

This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 weeks ago:
Same with my wife. I even have it set up for my mother, so I know she’s safe. I don’t understand what the big deal is, as you say it’s a safety and convenience feature, it doesn’t mean you spend the day looking at the app to see where the other person is.
It’s not something I would do in a casual or new relationship, but if I’m with somebody for years, I value safety over privacy.
And for the people who think this would prevent or bust cheating: lol. They can just turn it off and complain of bad reception, or leave their phone in their car, while they “shop at the mall”. Or just get a second phone.
Regarding tech privacy: it’s not like other apps on your phone are not already tracking, I doubt anybody has their GPS constantly turned off. They already know your location, this one feature doesn’t make a difference.

Wow, what an insightful answer.
I have been trying to separate the truth from the hype, and learn more about how LLMs work, and this explanation has been one of the best one I’ve read on the topic. You strike a very good balance by going deep enough, but still keeping it understandable.
A question: I remember using Wolfram Alpha alot back in university 15+ years ago. From a user perspective, it seems very similar to LLMs, but it was very accurate with math. From this, I take that modern LLMs are not the evolution of that model, but WA still seems like it was ahead of it’s time. What is/was the difference?

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.
We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.
