I certainly enjoy talking to LLMs about work for example, asking things like “was my boss an arse to say x, y, z” as the LLM always seems to be on my side… Now it could be my boss is an arse, or it could be the LLM sucking up to me. Either way, because of the many examples I’ve read online, I take it with a pinch of salt.

Interesting explanation of the psychology and I don’t necessarily doubt it, But I also offered a solution. The solution I’ve offered fixes the problem, the salesman’s solution sounds like it solves the problem but does not.

Yes exactly this. I try and explain a computer thing to someone and get ignored. That same person talks to some sales rep in the electronics store and comes away “ohh they said I need to buy super expensive antivirus, that’ll solve my issue with my screen resolution being too low”. 🤦

I hate reddits new UI. Shows a few comments, hides sub-comments, then a block of ads, then a useless automoderator comment and finally a ‘click for more comments’ button.

Thanks!

Does the article neither list the products or a link to the original paper?

Someone literally copy and pasted a whole ChatGPT comment in an email reply to some questions I’d asked them. I was somewhat insulted.

Not saying it’s right, but only appropriate things can be advertised to children, so in the UK that’s no junk food for example - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/10/uk-junk-food-ad-ban-so-diluted-it-may-be-largely-ineffective-experts-say

I’m not in favour of any of the age restriction stuff UK government is doing.

Good argument, but:

Phones in the UK can be bought without a contract and untied to any network.

Pay as you go SIM cards can be bought without a contract.

Credit cards used to make purchases online require users to be 18 or over. Debit cards on the other hand can be issued to those under 18 (but a bank account will require evidence of ID, address, age). https://www.gohenry.com/uk/blog/financial-education/what-age-can-you-get-a-debit-card-in-the-uk

You’ll have to rent a starlink from Elon, so he can keep an eye on your habits too.

Just think of the marketing potential, dynamic pricing …

(Sounds like hell to me)

Is the Daily Star, which almost unbelievably, is probably worse than The Sun. (More misogynistic at least, editorially I couldn’t comment)

Here’s the explanation of the irony in this situation from an LLM ;)

Side note: I’d only thought about the LLM generated code irony. I’d missed the 2nd irony of the editors trying to be helpful in providing useful accurate knowledge but achieving the opposite.

Good to see the free market in action. I’m sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.

Just think how much control he can have if he owns the medium which people access the internet.

And he’d only do good things with that power /s

I think its important that talking therapy was included too.

Next up GPUs require always-on connections and Nvidia requires a monthly subscription to pay for that.

Stack Exchange is a business owned by investment company Prosus, and the Stack Exchange products include private versions of its site (Stack Overflow for Teams)

Private equity milking another product dry.

I write unit tests and test my own code, but we also have UAT tests that are completed by others independently. Complex systems with lots of moving parts require lots of testing.

I’m a dev and I hate releasing buggy code but I’m not in charge of testing or the amount of testing we do before release.
