What software does not exist but you wish it did?

I don't really see how that justifies Orwellian censorship online.

My interpretation on what you've said is just that you don't want to be confronted with the realities of socializing with people who aren't willing to lie to you about their opinions. It used to be normalized that dishonesty and inauthenticity were "politeness" and making yourself palatable to others was productive. But, as we can plainly see world-wide, putting up with assholes just encourages them to be bigger assholes.

Perhaps rather than thinking the rest of the world is wrong for reacting to you in a way you dislike, you might consider whether there's a common denominator here. Rather than trying to control everyone else, you might want to think about what you can control that's a little closer to home.

‘Too little, too late’: critics perplexed and suspicious of AI leaders’ call for a slowdown

Reply in thread

I'm aware of what the pace is. You might want to check up on the current controversy surrounding OpenAI's math "achievements".

By my reckoning, the difference between Mythos and Opus is smaller than the difference between Opus and Sonnet. Same with the difference between GPT 5.5 to 5.6 is smaller than the difference between GPT 4 to GPT 5.

The size of improvements over time is diminishing. We're not in "big bang" territory anymore and we're about two years into the "incremental refinement" period. We're about to enter the next AI Winter unless somebody comes up with a new architectural component as revolutionary as transformers have been for ML models.

The core problem is that LLMs do not create. Full stop. All creativity is borne by the human inputs. Until that changes - until the model gains the capability to truly create new information, we've hit the limits in raw capability.

GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding

That's an "I have no idea what I'm talking about" if I ever heard one.

"Citation needed" IS polite. You claim it's not polluting, so clearly you know the CO2 emissions numbers from SpaceX's datacenters that are being run off direct-connect to natural gas generators. So, how about it? How "not polluting" are they?

Trump Is a Liar. That’s Bad. But He’s Delusional—and That’s Even Worse

He has dementia. They've known he's got dementia since his first term.

Every day that passes without the 25th Amendment being invoked, Article 2 Section IV of the US Constitution being invoked, or articles of impeachment being filed is a day that every sitting member of Congress announces their complicity in subverting American Democracy.

Every day that passes without the American public taking to the streets in protest is a day that every American citizen announces their complicity in allowing their nation to no longer follow the rule of law.
