And a sizable portion of the population believe vaccines don't work and/or have 5G! I feel like I'm watching a tsunami about to hit while literally already drowning from a different tsunami.

> but for a human we don't include the entirety of that human's experience and only look at the prompt? When did I say that? Of course you look at a human's experience when you judge the quality of their output. And you al

Millions of years of evolution have clearly equipped our brain with some kind of structure (or "inductive bias") that makes it possible for us to actively build a deep understanding for our world... In the context of AI I think t

Heres a definition. How impressive is the output relative to the input. And by input, I don't just mean the prompt, but all the training data itself. Do you think someone who has only ever studied pre-calc would be able to work through

I like this response to poke a hole in the parent comment, but it is worth noting that smartphones and guns are different in a pretty massive way: Smartphones can be useful and valuable in many ways separate from the ways they can be used h

ICE got billions of dollars this year seemingly out of thin air, and they are paying up to $50k for a signing bonus. The manhattan project went from nothing to an operation with 130,000 people in just four years. You really don't think

From a quick online search: - OpenAI's mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. - Google's mission is to organise the world's information and make it univers

> That it has kept politics unrelated to tech out is a great achievement I see your point, but is it an achievement? Is there not some amount of civil rights abuse or a breakdown of society that would warrant discussion on all possible

How about nurses? Or elderly care? Or environmental remediation? Or dramatically improving student:teacher ratios across the board? Theres plenty of things that are worth investing in, and can easily sustain jobs for people...

Before people bring their pitchforks to this headline, take a look at existing automation in factories [1][2] and ask yourself why would we ever want humans to do something that robots can do this well? Also despite the fact that humanoid

That there is some amount of local homicide is common knowledge. See, I can do it too :) The question about "what should be reported on more" is really about "which thing is worth spending more resources / attention &#x2

by Rebuff5007 1y ago
I still don't get what you think is "newsworthy", or what "should" be reported on. Why is homicide inherently more newsworthy than "people get heart attacks"? It completely depends on how much homicide is

What exactly is the point you are making? It is very reasonable to think that our attention (in the form of editorialized reporting, or funded initiatives) is being spent on actual material problems affecting most people, and this article i

OpenAI WANTS 1 trillion dollars. They do not need it. Arguably no one needs it. I am at best luke-warm on LLMs, but how are any sane people rationalizing these requests? What is the opportunity cost of spending a billion or even a hundred b

Everyone here is commenting on the fact that you cannot depend on a big company to store backups for you. This is generally fair, but the company in question specifically has the following mission statement: > Google's mission is to

IMO the ideal is incredibly strong data privacy laws such that it does not matter if consumer products are owned by a rich guy in Mountain View or Abu Dhabi.

I think the problem is that too many people do not know or care or respect how institutional knowledge works. And how to build it, and why so many of the things we take for granted is the result of subject matter experts iterating on real w

Curious what makes you think the money is well spent. I can maybe digest the fact that it helped prototype and ship a bit more code in a shorter time frame... but does that warrant in enough new customers or a higher value product that wo

This statement is mostly wrong. Cars as a shared service (shuttles, Uber, Waymo) absolutely solve traffic compared to personal vehicles. Shared cars have much higher utilization and require a lot less space. I agree that trains are a fantas

Theres not a single person i know in my life who will want this as a consumer. WHY does the world keep doing things that are so complicated and unnecessary.

Its a bit sad to me that the tech community here on HN doesn't seem to take any responsibility for all this. Surely some non-trivial percentage of the commenters / lurkers that are proud to talk about their mono-repo or their favo
