We already did: email. But seriously, in order for this to happen the platform needs to be a protocol. Basically Bitcoin but for sharing stuff, but all the attempts so far have been too nerdy/esoteric to gain mainstream adoption.

Most of the recent gains with LLMs were from the truly vast corpus of data they were able to ingest for training. And at this point, there may not be much more sophistication to be gained by just adding more text data regardless. Certainly

That's fair. "Co-found a 2 person business" is much better advice than "don't start a 1 person business."

I mean unless you are already wealthy what's the alternative? Basically you're saying "get a job."

Exactly. Ideally you'd use your first (few?) customers to create a solution that can be resold to other businesses. Any niche problem that larger businesses don't see as worth their time.

Instead of deleting your account I'd recommend editing all your posts to make a statement. This way you're not only removing yourself, but also burning the content you provided.

Instead of deleting your posts/comments, edit as many of them as you can to make a statement.

He meant it literally, Reddit had quite a bit of downtime/issues when the boycott started.

A theory I read that makes sense is their code/services for handling private/closed subreddit post fetching wasn't very well optimized and so when a record number of subreddits went dark suddenly that portion of their service

Pretty sure the short version is there's a lot more to hosting Reddit than just standing up a server. It's a slow process that involves building up communities and trust to hit a critical mass. Pure speculation, but I think Reddit

Now that everyone has seen the value of LLMs, we enter the "establish a government-enforced monopoly" phase of the technology.

Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of people aren't in professional sports and so that's not the case for them.

Yeah one key missing feature is subreddit creation and moderation. Without all the free labor from moderators curating content for topics with different tastes and ideas about what the community should be, it's going to be a struggle t

Meta has the same problem Nintendo has, only they really know how to develop for their platform properly. But UNLIKE Nintendo they don't have a massive hoard of IP and seasoned game design experience to draw from. Also just in general

The spooky part is we think encrypted/secure communications protect us, but with quantum computers just around the corner and a near unlimited appetite for storing records, very soon all that historical data will be broken into. Quantu

Yeah... There are ways to get a probability score on whether an AI generated something. Asking a model whose job it is to generate the words which most often follow the sentence "did you make this?" is not one of them.

Amusing Ourselves to Death is a great book on this idea that the medium changes you. TL;DR: When a disruptive technology comes along (books, radio, television, the Internet, now AI) there's an intrinsic shift in how we think and how in

OpenAI really ought to change their name to something more appropriate... It's getting to the point where it almost comes off as doublethink.

Since it's obvious but never stated in the article, ultimately the U.S. military did decide the risks heavily outweighed the benefits and put the plan on whatever dusty shelf such ideas end up on. The history of nuclear weapons is full

Yeah it's worth keeping in mind only 0.15% of people earn minimum wage. For most jobs you simply can't get someone to do the work for that rate.

Couldn't believe that shit when I heard it. I wish I could find the interview, but at one point someone brought up the question of wages going up and he basically said "Don't stress we'll get that under control soon&quot
