Especially for personal communication, I'm comfortable saying if you couldn't bother to write it, why should I read it.

If I'm reading reference material/documentation or an update, I care a bit less so long as it isn't tedious.

And that driver will be punished and no longer driving

Not generally true in the United States.

And you'd still be dead.

Thought the same, but there is a bit about writing files to the server and circumventing "blocks", which sounds more interesting.

Either way, there's essentially no real information yet so I'll withhold judgement until there is, I suppose.

Is there? I’ve only seen the linked article, is there more somewhere?

Yes, the first sentence of the article.

> Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June and accessed both public and non-public files.

That’s the first sentence, where’s this stuff about blocks and writing files?

I see what's happened here, you clicked the archive link that doesn't have the full article cached. Click on the OG link and you'll see it in its entirety.

"You know what we want. Let’s go"

I assumed they call it System One just because it's fast and there's no chain of thought/reasoning.

Either way it's an analogy that's bound to be loose as Kahneman's modes are about humans.

There's a difference between task-level productivity, which AI has been shown to increase, and effects on the macro. You're talking about the latter while most people here are engineers considering the former.

It's still unclear if task-level productivity gains bubble up, but it's also still early and I'm not sure we should expect to see immediate results there.

So it enables doing more things but not necessarily doing more valuable things?

Yes that is in essence the crux of the problem

Chrome still allows it. Safari and Firefox don't.

AI Studio falls under the Gemini API additional terms. Those terms give Google the right to keep your data on their servers for "processing" for some window (30 days, longer if free user I believe).

Of course they shouldn't use words that imply permanent deletion if it's only a front-end/workspace removal until that window expires. But if retention is expressly allowed in their terms you won't be winning anything.

You found an instance of misleading UX, which is fairly common in our industry.

"Plan a trip to Italy next month and book the flights"

I see a version of that all the time and would never, ever do it.

These are modern infomercials. Concrete pains ("planning a vacation is hard!"), shallow solutions that don't stand up to real-world use, and, in the end, a promise left unfilfilled. (And a thing in your drawer that takes up space.)

honestly, one day i will understand why these guys go so hard on planning vacations.

one of the best parts of vacations is actually planning it! trying to find restaurants, organizing your days, trying to fit activities -- that makes you look forward to your time off.

really, i want to automate the boring parts of my life (did i really pay rent this month?) not the things that make me happy.

> one of the best parts of vacations is actually planning it

For some. Others hate or fear it. For others it just feels like work.

Imagine the fear these people will feel walking in to a vacation planned by … a ROBOT!

Social media has fried some people’s brains so much that it is incredibly anxiety inducing to make many typically mundane or routine choices, for fear of missing / missing out on something.

I think they're grabbing at universally-understood frictions that people associate with pleasure or anxiety … or, most powerfully, identity.

We all know the feeling of wanting to be successful, or to go on a great vacation. Showing these scenarios creates strong emotional response in the audience - we're now the people winning at work, going on a great vacation. This is especially important when you're selling something dull. See: insurance.

"Find a primary care physician in my area who is taking new patients and accepts my insurance. Give me your top three candidates, and book an appointment within the next six weeks with your top choice."

Claude: Would you like to go to Bermuda instead?

idk I thought the same until I got personal amex support at work, now it’s my roofline on how useful/trusted an agent could be. Now I book all my travel through them, and it’s an absolute blessing

Exactly! Imagine if it booked like a 3000 dollar 1st class flight because it thought it was providing you with "the most comfortable and hospitable experience as possible."

They are. They were supposed to release 3.5 Pro over the summer but haven't because of persistent architectural/technical issues allegedly. Which is better than releasing it in that state imo.

Their AI leadership team has taken some hits recently too, in the form of departures. I believe when they get their bearings they will be competitive again. 3.8 Flash has been a great model for me.
