LLMs and Claude are helping me teach my kid about black holes in an interactive way how amazing is that

They think the people who write in Google Docs are the same as people who code, in which I frequently now get 10 lines of irrelevant nonsense suggested to me Absolute idiots 🤦‍♂️

Whatever this is thankfully hasn't hit my Google Docs but turning off Labs in Drive settings is supposed to kill gen AI stuff you can't opt out of. Plus: In Slides & Docs: Tools > Preferences then turn off Smart options. In Sheets: Tools > Suggestion Controls, turn off Autocomplete.

The new Google AI functionality in Docs is total mind-ruining shit. Hit enter in docs, it takes over your cursor to offer to help you write. Every. Time. You. Hit. Enter. Do you know how annoying that is when you are writing something? It's someone interrupting you every minute. MAKE IT STOP.

Google really has an entire app called Keep that only exists because you can't download images from a Google Doc. WTF ?!?

At first I thought this was incredibly creepy, and then I realized something intriguing. So I'm composing a novel in Google docs, as I am wont to do. And suddenly the AI assistant Gemini pops in (annoyingly) and summarizes my work in progress. It was eerily accurate. (1/5)

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

People are already dying from starvation
