What a nerd.
- amelius 1y agoA happy nerd, though.
- pkoird 1y agoA *rich one. Who knows if he's happy or not.

- timcobb 1y agoHe seems pretty stable and content...
- throwanem 1y agoDoes he? These are prime midlife crisis years for someone his age, I believe, and he has been lately trying on identities like a tween too shy and boring to manage a really florid case of chuuni.
- ben_w 1y ago> chuuni TIL a new word, which totally explains my teenage interest in the occult, Wicca, shapeshifting magic, etc. — although I did also have a syncretic New Age/Hindu/Catholic mother, which was the more obvious proximal cause.
- throwanem 1y agoOh, I was the same. It's a species of healthy and developmentally sound 'rebellion,' I think. Nothing really out of the ordinary - though of course I would as soon kick a puppy, as say so to someone in the throes of it! People deserve to enjoy themselves and kids deserve to be kids. But I do take "chuunibyou" (chūnibyō) as just part of what we do around that age, to begin the process of cleaving unto ourselves and defining who we are. It only happens English doesn't have a word for this aspect specifically; luckily for us, what it does have is a habit of mugging other languages for loose vocabulary.
- izzydata 1y agoDo you know him personally? How could anyone know that. The times he is on camera is a tiny fraction of his life in which he is most likely to not be his true self.

- rsynnott 1y agoI mean, he's proposing that people befriend chatbots; that's not _particularly_ stable.
- candiddevmike 1y agoAre all of Mark's friends LLMs, ergo he thinks everyone else's should be too?
- cies 1y ago> Are all of Mark's friends I dont get the impression there are many...
- ajb 1y agoTo a rich person, anyone who interacts with them is likely to be after their money. So from his point of view, LLMs are actually conversation partners who he knows aren't seeing him as a rich person, and so may actually feel more trustworthy than real people. Of course, this is entirely in conflict with the fact that he will be training LLMs to extract everyone else's money. But emotions aren't logical.
- fakedang 1y agoConversation partners? More like stooges who'll validate their every thought and kiss their ass along the way. Of all the models I've tried, only Gemini tries to pushback hard whenever I say something wrong or illogical.
- ajb 1y agoIndeed. Just think how bad Zuck's sycophants must be, for that to be better...
