Regularly inhaling combustion fumes is bad for your health no matter how you try to rationalize it. Yeah, more smoke is worse than less, and not all smoke is equally toxic - but it's all bad and should be avoided.
First you moved the goalposts by pivoting from "there's no want for LLMs" to "okay but how many are paying." You quietly shifted the entire criteria of "want" from voluntary demand to monetization the second evidence of massive adoption showed up.
When I pointed out that VLC has hundreds of millions of users who also don't pay, you tossed in the irrelevant "it's open source by one person" line - which is a complete non sequitur. Development model or monetization status has zero logical bearing on whether 800 million weekly ChatGPT users demonstrate real desire for LLMs.
This is classic bad-faith argumentation: throw in red herrings, change the standard whenever your position weakens, and misrepresent what was actually said to avoid engaging with the actual evidence.
When pictures get compressed, the data is lost. It's not hidden - it's gone forever.
When you "increase the quality" with a tool like this, you're not recovering lost data - you're making up new data to fill in the gaps. It takes an intelligent system to figure out what should probably be there and then add it convincingly.
Depends on how they're dumb. Your example is just amusing and pretty innocent - that doesn't bother me at all.
What would bug me is if it's something that's clearly screwing up their life. Like if they can't hold down a job or get through basic everyday tasks without constantly fucking it up.
For me, intelligence isn't about what you know - it's about how you think. Can she grasp that Vietnam is an actual country once you explain it to her? If yes, then she's not dumb - she's just ignorant or uneducated. I can live with that. Especially with a 10/10 personality.
I typically use it untill it becomes unusable. Typically around 5 to 6 years I guess. On my last phone I had changed so many parts it was practically a new phone.
I thought that a bank account is like Scrooge McDuck's lair with piles of money and treasures and every time my parents told me that we can't afford something I just told them to withdraw from their bank account.
I also thought that roundabouts were for when you don't know where you're going so you can drive circles there.
Never really paid any attention to it. I've had unlimited data plan since like 2012
