Research is also fairly AI resistant. You need people coming up with ideas and be able to verify anything AI says, and conduct thorough experiments.

Is there research consensus on when children should be given phones? I would personally be very conservative about it, honestly.
I can’t afford one, but I also just don’t want to. I get groceries delivered and can Uber around. I just don’t travel all that much.
They’d have to drop it significantly for most people to buy. If I had a spare $2k I’d upgrade my Mac.
Which plugin do you use?
OOTL: what happened to MFP?
I wonder why that non-pocketable phone isn’t more popular.
Huh, I stand corrected. I’ll update my comment.
100% agree. I personally haven’t got a use case that fits very well with it (maybe someday when I build a Zettelkasten), but I can see why the community loves it so much. Open source and a great library of plugins.
Edit: Turns out it isn’t open source and their terrible misunderstanding of open source doesn’t help.
I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.
Huh that’s kinda neat. Thanks!
What’s wild to me is how Yann LeCun doesn’t seem to see this as an issue at all. Many other leading researchers (Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Frank Hutter, etc.) signed that letter on the threats of AI and LeCun just posts on Twitter and talks about how we’ll just “not build” potentially harmful AI. Really makes me lose trust in anything else he says.
