That's probably where things are headed and there are already products trying this (even photoshop already). Just like how code gen AI tools don't replace the entire file on every prompt iteration.


Yup, I feel like the biggest limitation with current AI is that they don't have desire (nor actual agency to act upon it). They don't have to worry about hunger, death, feelings, and so they don't really have desires to further explore space, or make life more efficient because they're on limited time like humans. Their improvement isn't coming inside out like humans, it's just external driven (someone pressing a training epoch). This is why I don't think LLMs will reach AGI, if AGI somehow ties back to "human-ness." And maybe that's a good thing for Skynet reasons, but anyways


They do have desire. Their desire is to help answer human requests.

We can easily program them to have human desires instead.


Desire isn’t really the right word. A riverbank doesn’t desire to route water. It’s just what it does when you introduce water.


I come from mobile, and was surprised how nice svelte is. Felt so much more familiar patterns than react


Open radar is a just a landfill. Nothing ever gets picked up for fixing


I know this is only a single data point, but I recently took one in Hollywood. Uber Lyft quoted $33 and Waymo was $20


Do they need a "map" of a parking tower though, just like how humans don't exactly need Google Maps inside of one? I feel like this is something self driving + vision (exit signs and arrows) can handle


I don't touch JFK with 10mi pole. I've always found EWR to be much more consistent and easier to get to


SAME. It kills me inside when people wrap things like fruits and potatoes in plastic that have natural peel they'll remove before eating anyways


Japan is wild for this, but also pretty good at recycling plastic in general.

Bananas are often wrapped individually for sale. You buy a box of biscuits and they're often individually wrapped in plastic etc.


Japan recycles but also a whole bunch of their waste is incinerated. I think they super-heat it to reduce emissions but guessing that also costs energy which also secondarily causes emissions.


It is energy positive. Their incineration plants provide power.


Most of that plastic can't be recycled so it's probably being burned or thrown away.


Japan incinerates most of their plastic.


Internet was better via what metric? Your rose tinted nostalgia bar? And what's stopping anyone from making a better non-gameable search index that's driven by purely charitable intentions?


> And what's stopping anyone from making a better non-gameable search index

The party that was found _guilty_ in this lawsuit?


I don't think so. Remove Google from the story and search is still a problem involving massive amounts of storage, massive amounts of fast compute, and a clever way to index results.

The only part of that story Google impacts is that their clever way to index results is by mining traffic on their site and the larger web to decide based on user behavior whether their search query was satisfied. Since users can't spend active time on two sites at once, Google consumes a finite resource there. But do we believe Google's behavior tracking really is the final, best form that indexing can possibly take?
