People want Jarvis. Or an AI version of Alfred. They want Jarvis/Alfred to handle all mundane details in their life, and we are nearing that. Right now, they have localized chat and decent agents that still struggle with basics but are on the trajectory. Quoting @venturetwins This is one of the biggest barriers to adoption for consumer agents. Most everyday people look at a blank text box and have no idea what they can even ask AI to do. Agents should be proactively suggesting tasks based on your context. So well articulated from @gdb 👇 Related

Fear Is Not an Argument We are told that AI entities much like ChatGPT might soon kill us all. The statement is vague and unfalsifiable. It might be true, it might be false. People with credentials (e.g., Turing Award recipient Yoshua Bengio)…

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
