1. I launched on Mac, it immediately put itself in the "Open at Login" items, almost deleted right away. I know that making this default is getting popular, I still always feel like uninstalling when that happens. Turn it off by default or at least ASK, don't make the assumption that users want this.
2. I am trying to install "JS Paint", it says "Installing" and the wheel has been turning for a minute, I have no idea what the progress is, what the download speed is, anything. Is this intended? I also cannot cancel the installation once running.
3. "JS Paint" installed eventually, I cannot launch it, nothing happens when I click "Open", other than the "Open" button animating on mouseover. Restarted EXT, still cannot open it.
actually a thing, I use it whenever a website that I am most likely never going to visit again forces me to enter an email address, then I generate a temporary email address just to receive their email, whether it's a confirmation code, download link or whatever.
> develop a sense for ai text and images
You can develop a sense for GPT-4, or DALL·E 3 fine, how about GPT-6 or DALL·E 5? I used to shake my head when I was a teenager and the older generation complained how fast technology is developing, when all they meant was typewriters being replaced by x86 machines, B&W television by color, landline phones by mobile. Yet, now I start to understand what they must have felt like. I can about keep up for now, but how about in 5 or 10 years from now? I don't feel so confident.
Yeah these systems are only getting better, soon enough we wont be able to tell, but think of what that means: GPT being able to write text more complex/persuasive/interesting than the average person posting online might not be a bad thing. Even now ai text is "more intelligent" than a good chunk of things people post. If I had to choose, I'd rather read an LLMs interpretation of what someone might want to say than that person trying to formulate it themselves.
“That” is the elusive part. What is it? Was there anything to begin with? Are you assaying some meaning which was in fact never there? When someone rambles on their own, you can often tell. Harder when they have an advocate.
