They don't get killed adjacent to the farm, the abattoir is usually far away from it, you put them on a truck to send them there. They wouldn't care about being a slave from birth, they don't have the concept. A cow is happy to be eating grass and chewing cud, it doesn't have any highminded ideas about escaping to live a better life.
"these tools are causing corporations to blow past their already tepid climate goal; no mention of how the affluent, surveillance-obsessed exec dictating its trajectory enthusiastically cozied up to fascists; no mention of how Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s data centers are funneling pollution directly into black neighborhoods; zero mention of the technofascist plan to leverage AI to decimate unions; no mention of the weird and precarious financial shell games powering the sector."
Come on. The article wants to talk about actual harms and then immediately launches into hysterical talking points like these?
The weird phrasing was my biggest gripe with 5.3 so I'm glad they've fixed that up. It couldn't say anything without a heap of impenetrable jargon and it was obsessed with the word "drive". Nothing could cause anything, it had to be "driven".
I tested 5.4 out and I don't think it's actually any better in this regard, it's still using odd words, and it has this very annoying habit of saying "the issue was caused by [correct solution], not [thing that I never suggested]" as if it's correcting me on it
Describing it in absolute terms doesn't mean that much - 800 points is only a 1.66% drop, not much of a tumble. Back in 2009 it would've been 12%+ which would've been a lot scarier.
They're too credulous when reading search results. There are a lot of instances where using search will actually make them perform worse because they'll believe any believable sounding nonsense.
Kagi Assistant helps a lot in this regard because searches are ranked using personalised domain ranking. Higher quality results are more likely to be included.
"Hollywood is over" is an antisemitic canard? Also I really doubt that it's fake, there's been an absolute ton of Seedance videos released, it's not like Bytedance is faking them all with complex workflows. And it's obviously not true that AI's only been getting better through exponential increases in compute because an 8B model now is way better than an 8B model 3 years ago.
I'm 27 and the UI looks so modern for something from the year after I was born - Windows 98 was at the same time but the MacOS interface has changed a lot less than Windows has.

That's only because Windows had to dial things back a lot after Windows Vista. Incidentally, Vista UI was also glass-inspired. Hmm.
Windows 8 "Metro" interface was different in its own way too, I suspect if Microsoft's mobile efforts had been more successful[1], Metro's design influences would have a much bigger sway over today's Windows desktop.
1. i.e. had they became the number 2 or 3 phone OS, and sold tablets with volumes comparable to the iPad. Touchscreen-isms would have inevitably crept back to the desktop OS.
And you could say that the difference is that high-level languages are deterministically transformed down, but in practice the compiler is so complex you'd have no idea what it's doing and most people don't look at the machine code anyway. You may as well take a look at the LLM's prompt and make an assumption of the high-level code that it spits out.
Crazy to have a company like this with perhaps the most revolutionary product in the last 20 years decide that they want to pivot to porn and ads. Whose idea is this? They're supposed to be the superintelligence company. There's not even that much money in it. What about automating jobs, making a model that can predict the stock market, anything that would meet the hype?
