  • We don’t necessarily need to know how animal brains work to achieve AGI, and it doesn’t necessarily have to work anything like animal brains.

    100% agree. Definitely thinking inside the box, inside the brain, when I went down that path.

    I think better way to explain my thinking is that LLMs can not operate like a human brain in that they fundamentally lack almost all qualities of a human brain. They are good but not perfect at logic just like humans, but they completely lack creativity, intuition, imagination, emotion and common sense, qualities that would make AGI.

    Without humans being able to understand how our brains process those qualities, it will be very hard to achieve AGI. But again, very wrong of me to think we need to translate code from our brains to achieve AGI.




  • From reading all the comments from the community, it’s amazing (yet not surprising) that all these managers have fallen for the marketing of all these LLMs. These LLMs have gotten people from all levels of society to just accept the marketing without ever considering the actual results for their use cases. It’s almost like the sycophant nature of all LLMs has completely blinded people from being rational just because it is shiny and it spoke to them in a way no one has in years.

    On the surface level, LLMs are cool no doubt, they do have some uses. But past that everyone needs to accept their limitations. LLMs by nature can not operate the same as a human brain. AGI is such a long shot because of this and it’s a scam that LLMs are being marketed as AGI. How can we attempt to recreate the human brain into AGI when we are not close to mapping out how our brains work in a way to translate that into code, let alone other more simple brains in the animal kingdom.




  • As others have said, both washers and dryers let clothes tumble around uncontrollably for hours at a time which can do varying levels of damage.

    My best unscientific advice from doing both a lot is to keep load sizes small. Reduces the friction and theoretically reduces the drying time, which also reduces damage. Also, if drying tshirts with ink prints, flip them inside out to protect the ink.





  • Unless your dishwasher truly has something wrong with it, there’s just a few things you should do every time for it to work flawlessly.

    • remove big food particles off dishes (sauces, peanut butter is fine)
    • if your dishwasher and sink share the same water line, most likely they do, run the sink until it’s hot before running the dishwasher
    • put detergent in the actual dispenser and close it, it serves a purpose
    • avoid using pods, powder detergent works fine
    • clean filter regularly

    those are the main things. if you really want to nerd out then check this video out.

    Technology Connections provides great explanation of how they work and goes way more in depth on how to properly use a dishwasher, especially with detergent. honestly he provides great content on most things we use in our daily lives and is worth checking out.
