I use nano for simple text edits, anything more and I use sublime, or code.

Used to develop c++ in emacs though, never got the benefit of VIM, super hard to use.

There are versions of these machine learning and statistical programs that are making headway in all sorts of medical research. That was, and is still happening.

I am starting to think that this whole ai push, along with making all these companies insane amounts of money at the cost of regular folks, is ultimately to further attack the human intelligence. The number of people I know personally and secondhand that let chatgpt make all their decisions, even the simplest ones. And they'll use it as a truth source, treat it like a person (it's not even anything close to approaching intelligence). It's going to go poorly for us as a whole.

I've tried on several occasions to try and explain this to people, and it's like they WANT it to be a sentient thing, and refuse all evidence to the otherwise.

This doesn't really work though. If it were simply directing you to actual sources that could help out (articles, and lawyer authored blogs or something), that would be one thing, but LLMs are just probability machines. It'll write out what looks like good sound reasoning and logic, but in reality it's simply the most probable word followed by the next most probable word, over and over again. It's using pattern matching, not knowledge

I guess I just have to take your word for it then?

As far as unsubscribe and whatnot, can only assume that might depend on your client? 🤷
