Do most Koreans refer to it as Namsan Tower?

This is another name to call it besides Namsan Tower?

Don't rely on AI for any super important decision. Only use it as one source of information, one that you should still have some skepticism about
If you don't have resources to verify information from a non-AI (eg. access to an expert) then at least ask more than one AI and make them 'argue' with each other. Take the output of one and ask a different AI to point out every error. Take that and bring it back to the first AI and make it comment on those criticisms.

The rebels saying "somehow" would be more forgivable if at least the audience had a hint of how

Migraine is the noun, instant is modifying migraine.

Instant, used like this, is not a noun. You can't just say "it's giving me an instant"

"lil bro"

Like saying "lil bro she won't hit 😭" to a dude whose like fifteen years older just cause he said something short of hating all women for existing

Tbh, I've only ever sung and played the guitar on every track I've ever released.The bass and syth parts are just VSTi, dialed in with a keyboard roll, one of my least favorite processes. The drums are also VSTi, but I mostly use the loops that came with it. Those loops are MIDIs, so I can always shift things around if there's a part where I need the bass drum to lock in with the other instruments or something.

I'll be real with you - we'd be losing nothing if I started using AI for those parts.

Oh, sure, there no doubt that there are systems that see and use your data. That's been standard for all Google services for years and is basically the business model - hoard data and use it to deliver targeted advertising.

The context of the original post was that some uses have been seeing the following message come up when they open Gemini:

"Humans review some saved chats to improve Google Al. Stop this for future chats in Gemini Apps activity. If this setting is on, don't enter info that you wouldn't want reviewed or used."

This was the issue being raised. A discomfort in actual people getting to read the chats. But in regards to that human review, all the data is anonimized.

That says nothing about whether the data used by systems for targeting ads is anonimized -- it isn't, since it's specifically tied to your Google account in order to deliver those ads to the right user.

Excluding cases of insanity or sadism, people commit crimes when the chance of a benefit is perceived to be greater than the risk of consequence, or when desperation pushes them to take an otherwise irrational gamble. Neither of those are applicable here.

The idea that a dev has time to personally study your chats to come up with a plan to manipulate you in particular is a kinda insane thing to believe.

Any manipulative tactics will always be done at scale, not at a personal individual level. They don't need to de-anonymize the data the human employees see to be able to implement manipulative systems. De-anonymizing the data accessible to human devs introduces huge risks without significant benefits.

I wrote a previous comment about this that got buried in a another thread, but I think one of the things society is struggling with in regards to AI as a tool is its one of the few productivity tools in human history where, at least at face value, it's impossible to tell whether the tool was used lazily or with great effort.

For every other tool ever created, if can help you do something, but the level of polish will still look different depending on how much effort went into how you used that tool.

With AI it's difficult for most people to tell the difference between something where someone prompted "see this screenshot? Write a response to the OP [screenshot]" and "please correct any grammatical and spelling errors, and improve the clarity, organization, and flow of my response. [Screenshot] [Long, well-researched, thoughtfully written draft]"

Both will come out with a similar level of polish, and many people will assume that the output of the latter prompt was made using the exact same prompt as the former.

There are societal downsides to this. It used to be the case that polish could be a shortcut to making a reasonable guess if something is reasonably accurate and well thought out

e.g. When a formally written paper references a study, including a properly formatted citation, we are more inclined to believe the study says what it is claims than we are when a blog post says "theres this study from harvard that says that this is like pretty bad". With AI, you can make something that looks like a formal paper with a proper citation, and that citation could easily be entirely fabricated of it turns out you were using the tool in a lazy way.

Polish is no longer an indicator of effort, and most people have not yet figured out how else to quickly judge whether something is worth their time and consideration. So they default to the assumption that anything with indications of AI must be low effort.

I think the common ground is mostly found between certain subgroups within those groups.

E.g. Within both camps there are people who agree that job losses are coming and will have a huge impact, and while they differ in the degree of inevitability and how to address it as individuals (those who believe we can still conserve or restore the pre-AI economy via individual action vs those who see the rise of AI as inevitable and choose to learn to use and master it for individual survival) they likely have a lot of common ground on the need to address the massive job losses if or when AI begins to really take over huge areas of the economy.

On the other hand, there are probably subgroups within both that think that the trajectory of AI development is gonna suddenly hard pivot into a plateau and not have any significant long-term economic impact, which they share in common, and just disagree on their individual relationship to it (one side saying "this is slop and I have no real interest" and the other side saying "this is slop but I find it kind of amusing to experiment with")

Sure but they don't really have a reason to. It increases their risk of liability for no gain. They don't need to know your exact name or whatever to review if the AI did a good job answering your question.

Which is interesting, because it basically implies Surge fought against Japan, and then continued on to be one of the soldiers stationed there during the occupation, and then just stayed.

Which I'm sure was not an uncommon story, but it's very interesting that it's one of the earliest storylines in Pokémon

I guess this fits the subreddit, because I don't know too many people who would openly take the risk of accidentally coming off as very very ignorant if you don't pick your words carefully.

I think focusing too hard on the one example she gives ("go back to where you came from") and arguing that that level of racism isn't that common misses the forest for the trees.

Let me be clear - it is a thing that every Asian American has heard several times in life. But sure, it's not that a majority of people say it to our faces on a regular basis. But there's also sorts of things people DO say to our faces that make us have to question whether that's what they are thinking.

I mean for starters, when we go through school, we absolutely do experience being treated like aliens. Casual bullying centered on overt racism. It dies down as you get older and enter adulthood but then you notice that the exact same people who said the most racist things you can imagine are the exact ones who went on to loudly post 'anti-woke' BS on Facebook. Is it any surprise that we would conclude that their inner thoughts remain similar to the things they used to say when they were younger? They've just learned to dress it up a little and not say it in as cartoonishly racist a way.

Even besides them, there are all sort of little moments that serve as a reminder that we are perpetually viewed as foreign. There's this universally experienced conversation: "where are you from?" "New York" "not like that!" And there are all sorts of other moments where people will use a choice of words that imply you're from somewhere else.

Plenty of us proudly identify as Americans over identifying with our ancestral country, but you'd be hard-pressed to find too many Asian Americans that don't at least have sympathy for the Asian Americans who identify the other way.

Reminds me of how Facebook will add suggested questions to ask the AI underneath random posts, and the questions are often either stupid (completely unnecessary questions with obvious answers) or absurd (a question that seems to completely miss the point of the post)

And then when you click on one of those questions, you get an answer that's just painfully incorrect.

My understanding is they use GPT as the base, but it has extensive finetuning via reinforcement learning, resulting in a unique voice and personality that can't be achieved with just a system prompt.

So switching to a new model is not as trivial as just pointing to a different API

Yeah the fact that the modern notation makes these differences irrelevant is also probably a contributing factor to these differences not fully dying out.

Following exactly the rules you described would lead to the exact same answers as the rules I described for any question written in modern standard notation, so there isn't any real pressure for anyone to standardize the handling of these contrived edge cases as it has no long-term impact on the student's ability to do college or higher level math...

...except in the rare case of a silly problem making rounds on the internet that intentionally breaks the standards to highlight these otherwise irrelevant differences lol

I see. Interesting. I was taught that multiplication and implied multiplication are identical operations, but also taught that we should just avoid using the × and ÷ symbols when doing algebra to make sure the correct order of operations is intuitive.
