I have no qualms about AI being used in products. But when you have to tell me that something is "powered by AI" as if that's your main selling point, then you do not have a good product. Tell me what it does, not how it does it.

Oh, so you mean local vs external, not browser-based vs other local solutions.

What makes the built-in database easier to attack than a separate one?

It's only gambling if you intend to sell it off for a profit. I just want to own a piece of a cool company.

I recall installers always asking you where you want to install things. Sometimes, that's hidden behind "custom install" or something like that. Is that not the case anymore?

I'd be surprised if being born with a specific face configuration isn't protected in the same way that race and gender are.

Somehow, we manage to accept organ transplants despite it hurting one healthy person a little to help an unhealthy person a lot. What's stopping us from treating birth control the same way?

But then that wouldn't be for health reasons, right?

It continues to build endurance and mental fortitude, which I think would be pretty important in the military.

It is made by scientists. And we don't know how to make the model determine whether or not it knows something. So far, we only have tools that tell us that something probably wasn't in the training set (e.g. using variance across models in a mixture of experts setup), but that doesn't tell us anything about how correct it is.

I've heard Elon Musk (or was it Karpathy?) talking about how camera should be sufficient for all scenarios because humans can do it on vision alone, but that's poor reasoning IMO. Cars are not humans, so there's no reason to confine them to the same limitations. If we want them to be safer and more capable than human drivers, one way to do that is by providing them with more information.
