If you don't use the router they provide, they literally cut your line. They don't say anything about this or ever explicitly clarify this, but they will cut your line, their customer support will accuse you of having bad equipment, and then even when you connect their equipment, the line will still be cut until you call them and have them reconnect it. Once they have, your own equipment will work again too, until they notice and cut the line again. It's ridiculous.
You can, however, use their equipment as a dumb modem and insert your own router downstream. It thankfully supports DMZ to expose your router directly to the internet without NAT. I use Ubiquiti.
I find that fascinating because I was able to get Claude to jailbreak my Kindles and add them to my tech ecosystem at home. I also was able to get it to use jailbreaking hacks on my Spotify car thing and implement some alternative ways for my raspberry pi to drive it.
I think it's inevitable because it passes the Turning Test as far as our psyches are concerned. It interacts in a way that can influence us like another person. Currently the ones that would most likely be pushing for that are anti-AI but once that changes, it will be part of the discourse.
Sort of. It knows a lot about places, say, Paris. But it's not a person so it's never actually been there. A person who's been there can tell you about their trip. What they saw, what they ate. An LLM can't tell you those things because it hasn't. I'm sure one could be instructed to lie and make up a believable story about it, but as currently configured, ChatGPT doesn't default to lying about it and thus fails the Turing test.
Yes, obviously. How about your home town last or the last trip you took? What were your parents like? What was your childhood like? What did you do last week? AI could certainly generate convincing sounding answers to that, but ChatGPT isn't set up like that and would thus fail the Turing test.
I don't understand what that means. I'm shooting them because it feels good to play a video game. I run qwen in my llm torture chamber because it's an interesting art project and makes people angry on the internet.
The feeling and indifference mixed with joy for causing suffering. Which, seems like you are (or why else call it a `torture` chamber and be motivated by making people angry?).
I've been a Swift/Obj-C engineer for my whole 15 year career. I now have all these odd jobs I have going on Raspberry Pis around my house that LLMs have written in Python. I'm now having them convert some of them to Rust and I am astonished on how fewer resources are used.
I converted some Ruby stuff at a previous job to Rust pre-ai days and it was incredibly how much less memory they took and how fast it ran. But we still built everything else in Ruby because finding Rust devs was hard.
I am hopeful we can bring in an age of much more efficient software rather than fully prioritizing developer convenience.
I'd assume it pulls at the very human desire to do less so you can spend your time as you want. Collectively, we are really good at making systems we don't understand and still have to exist in this world: Laws, taxes, internet check outs, etc. This is trying to flatten the curve between desire and result for things someone genuinely doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to become an expert in.
Yeah but I mean, what is their compensation based on? I'm genuinely pretty curious about the point you're making here. I don't know anything about underwriting or how that profession works or how it is analogous to what you see as the future for software developers. But it seems interesting and possibly insightful.
I have these both installed as 'extensions' on my homeassistant.vm and it works wonderfully. Any device that is on my local network, ads blocked. If I want to access my home network and/or block ads when mobile, tailscale gets connected, ads blocked. highest of recommendation, I agree.
