People he met at parties. That said, it was a popular essay, not academic research. I’d also say, it is an important question to ask: do our economies deliver meaningful work? Does it matter? Is my job meaningful to me, and what does that m

The fishing project was not mine. It’s an example of one where the results were not expected and the organisation involved shelved the findings, which might be illegal under this new European directive. Factory trawlers don’t fish inshore r

definitely the big guys are causing havoc all of their own deep sea where they fish, with bottom dredging nets etc. And maybe there was some contribution inshore, certainly I’ve heard complaints about this in Somalia. But the more immediate

You don’t have to stop the family business, the resource just needs to be sustainably-managed - sustainable offtake levels, otherwise the resource itself will crash. Indeed they already have - as although catch volume is down 75%, people no

My professional experience of environmental work is that true positive environmental impact is very difficult. In complex systems, unintended consequences are likely. Environmental problems often arise at the interface between multiple com

The US is placing a big bet on AI to break the economic secular stagnation of recent decades. If IP is an obstacle to that, it would be great if IP laws are loosened.

I first heard the expression on a stats course for an MSc programme and am struggling a bit with the idea that it’s a concept not used by scientists, as other posters also attest to. The lecturer used the expression in the context of poor s

Good insight. In parallel, I wonder how efforts to decarbonise can ever be delinked from competition for sex in more than niche communities.

The alternative is that the agreement mentions phase-out, but only lip service is paid to that objective. At least we now know categorically where we stand.

I gave it a piece of text from a Guardian op ed and asked it to identify the rhetorical devices used in the piece. I suspect it would be possible to now create a GPT by uploading a file listing the various rhetorical/propaganda tricks

I’m very enthusiastic about the possibility that someone will shortly build an AI plugin that identifies use of propaganda and “advertising techniques” as I browse the web. A lot of this stuff flies under my radar and having a guide to help

I sometimes wonder if pieces like this are really just an insight into the writer’s coping strategies. For better or worse, they need good news to keep going. I don’t know if it applies to everyone.

I think what you and the writer of the article are complaining about is not the LLM but the dataset that the LLM is describing. My guess is that if you created a GPT of a well-regarded book on WW1, you’d be able to have an enlightening conv

An excellent and freaky 2.5 page short story in Nature on a very similar theme. If you have the time, enjoy: https://www.nature.com/articles/436150a

He is a well-known British writer, fondly known as the Gorgeous Moonbat. His book mentioned at the link, Regenesis, is good.

This was a brilliant video. Great story-telling, livened up with a mash-up approach. For Brits there is a major plot twist at about 12”30. Thanks for posting. Made my morning.

I’m never going to unhear the vocal fry in that song, which I had never noticed before. Your comment should have come with some sort of spoiler alert…haha. Unfashionable opinion (for my generation): I love(d) that song.

I’ve really come to doubt human ability to exercise free will in all but the rarest of cases. I wonder if SBF really had a moment where a stop/go decision was meaningfully available to him. If we’re all automatons, what’s the point of

Sure. For example, I might not want a borrower to see any data other than their own, so using a chatbot to access their data and output it in any way they want, eg “chatbot, did I make any payments over 50 dollars to Amazon last year. If so

Is that the case? I didn’t realise. Although as a tourist draw, dead trees are not exactly that appealing. A couple of years ago, I took my three year old daughter up a mountain, and she earnestly said to me: “the once’ler”. We haven’t been

The non-managed zone is rewilded, so it will be left to regenerate on its own I guess.
