I, erroneously, thought that "when Alice and Bob agree there's a 96% chance of them being correct, then surely you can leverage this to get above the 80% chance. What if we trust them both when they agree and trust Alice when they

Which does indicate that even if AI becomes good at coding, we will still need humans to glue all the AI stuff together.

This is true, but I don't think our understanding of nutrition is good enough to really pick and choose what we want to optimize for. Eg we still don't have a recommendation on whether we should costume external vitamin K2 or not.

Your mind and health are impacted by your physical body. If eating a certain way impacts your physical performance then it might also have effects on your health (and mind) in unexpected ways. I'm not saying that ketosis has this kind

I'm not making a moral judgement here. I'm talking about sending a signal that this type of content is valuable to make, leading to more content of that type being made.

I would caution that just because your body can make something doesn't mean it will have optimal performance when doing so. People in ketosis do have worse peak performance in sports than those that eat more carbs/sugar.

They're on YouTube because it's the platform that gives them the greatest chance of success. What other popular video platforms do you know that give you 55% of the ad revenue?

But you are buying into viewing ads when you use services that show you ads. Also, ad bazaars sound great until you realize that every locality needs to have their own bazaar. Seeing ads for New York barbers is kind of useless when you&#x27

Yes, instead they register 1 million businesses that will all be listed in the phonebook.

Also decreasing the likelihood of content that you like watching gets made? The creator is being paid from that ad revenue too.

Because a few dollars here and there very quickly adds up, especially for people in poorer countries. It's also much harder to get people to spend money online. I bet if you could physically buy the suffrage for $1-5 people would be fa

An important thing to add: the gaming industry was basically the R&D that (partly) led to this AI in the first place. GPUs were gaming devices first and foremost. The programmable pipeline came about because people wanted their video ga

And memory. What I'm surprised by is that memory production isn't being scaled up since it's basically a universal part of any computing device.

The (wedding) photographer is likely going to use this AI themselves though. They used Photoshop way back in the day to touch up images. They're going to be doing the same with genAI. Content-aware fill is one of the most useful tools

You know that you can give a drawing as input for image generation, right? I think there's a lot of creativity possible with AI image generation. Things like ControlNet and the various loras and upscale methods etc all add a lot of cho

ESEA's anticheat was used to mine Bitcoin on the players' computers. They are/were a major competitor of FaceIt. They supposedly had to pay a $1 million settlement over it. So not an exploit, but even worse.

Gestures wildly at the 20th century. Or a more recent example would be the "misinformation craze" we had going on since years ago. That seems to have fallen away when it became apparent that many fact checkers were politically a

The argument against AI alignment is that humans aren't aligned either. Humans (and other life) are also self-perpetuating and mutating. We could produce a super intelligence that is against us at any moment! Should we "take steps

This is very true, but I think some of it has to do with expectations too. Editing a profile page is a complex thing, therefore people are more willing to put up with loading times on it, whereas checking out someone's profile is a sim

One second is long enough that it can put a user off from using your app though. Take notifications on phones for example. I know several people who would benefit from a habitual use of phone notifications, but they never stick to using the

Ironically this wouldn't work for me because I do almost all of my reading on my phone these days. It has become the main use of my phone at this point. It is a good idea though, as long as they can find things they want to read. I&#x2

If the works are so great then you've got nothing to worry about. Kids will read them on their own. Of course we both know that's not true, because the works are not that great.

The usefulness of reading books is not about what factual information you can glean from them. They're about engaging the imagination and making you take hypothetical situations seriously. In that sense traditionally published works ar

The same thing happened to me. Required reading in school killed my interest in reading. When I graduated I was very happy that I wouldn't have to read books ever again. It took me about 5 years or so until anime and manga got me to tr

But governments themselves can steer people's opinions just fine? Can I get access to my politicians' emails "for research purposes"?

Because those researchers become a potential data leak. We all know that deanonymized data isn't actually anonymous. Do you, as the user, really want people poking around your private data "for research purposes"? Where there

Why can a company be fined for not allowing "researchers" access to data? That seems bizarre to me.

I'm wondering this as well. Buying 40% of global production just sounds too much. What kind of user counts would they require for that much compute to pay off? Billions of people? What's the chance they could actually get that man
