"Agent" as a compsci term predates The Matrix.
Whether the Wachowskis were aware of that and intentionally used it as a term with a double-meaning, or whether it was just a coincidence, I couldn't tell you.
If they fire him, they know that he will resume working as a third party spoiler candidate and do them a lot of damage in swing seats where the margins are tiny.
Either there's a 2028 election and Trump's not on the ballot, or there isn't one and he's declared himself dictator-for-life. Either way, what the fuck does he care about spoiler candidates?
Less sarcastically: I do actually see translation as an area where LLMs are a good fit; no substitute for a skilled human translator, but in many cases, as you say, better than nothing.
But I've got very little patience for this "But why would anyone be categorically opposed to using LLMs? Why are people so silly?" affectation you keep doing. If you don't understand, it's because you're not listening.
OCR and translation tech have existed for years before AI did.
I know what you mean but that's a funny way of saying it. OCR and machine translation are based on ML; they work more or less the same as modern LLMs, just on a much smaller scale. I don't think it really makes a lot of sense to categorize one as AI and the other as not-AI; what we're really talking about is the tradeoff between quality and efficiency, and whether we want to support products like Gemini in the first place.
Absolute moral stances certainly have their place, but they sure ought to be used sparingly.
Yeah, we should reserve them for things like billionaires wasting massive quantities of energy and water to inflate a bubble that's going to trigger simultaneous environmental and economic catastrophe.
Boy, if something like that were happening I bet people would be really pissed about it.
At the time, the administration was not only engaged in a full-blown, bigoted war against migrants, but throwing all of its support behind Israel’s ongoing anti-Palestinian efforts, which look a whole lot like actual genocide.
FFS, Karl, I'm with you on Zaslav's incompetence, but when you describe a show moving from HBO to Netflix as "death" it is very hard to take you seriously.
Okay, but you understand that revoking a station's broadcast license doesn't actually make its broadcast tower stop working, right?
This isn't like arresting somebody, where if the feds ignore the court, the victim is still in jail. This is a licensing/fine situation, where if they ignore the court the victim can just ignore them right back.
Not that everything has always worked out as well as it might have, of course, but we’ve generally accepted that if the USA is doing (or not doing) something, then there’s probably a good reason for it.
I dunno, man, that's a hell of a thing to say after Vietnam and Iraq.
Yes, Trump is the worst and most destructive president yet. But it's not like he came out of nowhere. This has been building for over fifty years. There were signs.
Are Americans really that illiterate and unenlightened?
I make no excuses for my countrymen who thought putting Trump back into office was a swell idea. But it seems like they're hardly the only ones who've had trouble drawing obvious conclusions from ample historical evidence.
Someone should tell it to the president.

AFAICT you can still avoid the ads by watching in Firefox with uBlock Origin.
Big red button? What kind of streaming device are you using, Fisher-Price?

(a show that shouldn't have been on fucking premium cable in the first fucking place, I might add)
