  • Okay, everyone except you is talking specifically about the word agentic and not agent.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/agentic

    It seems pretty clear that it came to prominence last year, so it’s novel now for the majority of the population even though it used to be technical jargon, which is exactly my point.

    Im not sure if anybody was using specifically the word “agentic” 50 year ago for software, although it clearly was used in other context from the link. I’m guessing they were mostly saying software agent and the “ic” at the end is relatively new.

    I genuinely though segue was spelled like the brand name. I guess you learn something new everyday.

    It’s novel but not wrong. Plenty of technical terms have inserted themselves into our language over time. I can think of bandwidth and logistics at the top of my head. Catalyst feels very technical as well. Logistics started as military jargon and is brought over from French.

    Just thought of Segway as well. Not sure if it started as technical jargon but it’s definitely some weird bastardization.




  • Nature is amazing but has different constraints and doesn’t always choose the smartest route.

    We can use computers, motors and sensors instead of replicating the human body exactly. A lot of startups are failing and there’s a cash grab like always going on, but the tech is rapidly advancing. Boston dynamics for example has an impressive demo up ( https://youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w ). There’s definitely still a long way to go in any case

    Personally, I think it’s really cool (except the fact that it will be quickly weaponized and eventually used against civilian populations)







  • Everyone that doesn’t think like me is gaslighting me :(

    No one has yet to explain to me how a choice of software is a valid filter. All I get are emotional “well I don’t like it”, as if their friends have never done or used something they don’t approve of. People are really fiending for an echo chamber it seems, even in their own personal lives and not just online.

    It’s simply shallow, like if I said I’m not friends with apple users. I hate the company and am justified in that hate, but making or breaking friendships over it is childlike behavior.

    If you type in En force, you get the correct answer. If you type in En-force, it assumes you made an error and wanted to type enforce and not en force.

    It has no context to go on, but it is silly that the normal google algo understands but Gemini doesn’t. I’m fairly certain it’s because the summary uses different links then what is actually given by the regular search algo (I think it rewrites your query as well).

    I don’t like the summary above google, I’m not defending it but just explaining where the error stems from and what the user meant.

    Edit: it’s a bot lol, yes the period makes no sense. I glossed over his reply and thought he was making the same point as a comment below.
