Civilization needs energy, not a problem per se. Just generate more, preferably from sustainable sources.

Perhaps the adversity of the contracts cancels out with their sudden success and increase in valuation and it ends up a wash compared to the counterfactual scenario where they would have speculated on high growth early on.

This seems to be a very peculiar and adversarial interpretation of anti-social. I am relatively anti-social and consider this a bit of a character flaw, but would generally say that I do not assume the worst in others and am relatively intr

People generally complain about the interview process being bloated while also not giving a good signal - is it then not better to hire people for a while, see if they perform and then letting them go again? Though perhaps in Meta's ca

I always considered hooks a nice to have feature for devs to already validate that their PRs will probably satisfy certain CI checks. If they don't install or run them for whatever reason, it's on them to do another iteration and

Also seems that having a very capable military that lets you project power around the world also invites that power to be used. See for instance the Iran war. Quite pointless by all accounts and wouldn't have happened if the US didn&#x

Does that really matter? Eventually it will be 99%, but even then I am not necessarily concerned until it crowds out human created songs. Before AI, 99% of anything was trash and now with AI, perhaps 99.9% is. But the thing that matters is

They are all very wealthy, or are about to be at the IPO. Seems like a worthwhile tradeoff. And money aside, it is certainly one of the most exciting companies in the world to work for.

I understand he wants to deflect liability from his platform, but I guess I have to concede that it seems like a legitimate defense. We allow the stock market to exist even though insider trading can happen and it's (I think?) not Nasd

I figured they already have your identity via the payment process. Not like you can do anything (risky or not) via the free tier.

I don't know. Practically, LLMs are already better conversation partners on any topic compared to the average human I have access to. This also holds in reverse, of course - if someone wants me to explain something, usually they'd

I think in domains like Math and Software Engineering, they are less constrained by training data anyway. They can synthetically generate and validate programs. To what extent that scales into novel insights is a different matter, but I thi

In addition to the managed interface for agent configuration and so on, is the novelty that all the agents run on Anthropic's infra? Sort of like Claude Code on the Web? If so, interesting that they move up the stack, from just a provi

I don't want to be overly cynical and am in general in favor of the contrarian attitude of simply taking people at their word, but I wonder if their current struggles with compute resources make it easier for them to choose to not depl

Maybe countries could tackle such problems twofold: - first, implement a nationwide social freezing program, where women in their 20s are offered to freeze their eggs at a young age for free. Such a large-scale program would probably also i

From what I've read, the immediate effect will likely be worse for CO2 emissions, because the alternative to (liquefied) gas is often coal power. Also, the various inputs that are needed for global manufacturing are also affected, so m

I guess I was mostly arguing that the integration of something like Grok into Twitter was definitely a net positive for online discussion, as anyone has a fact checker and explainer at hand now to diffuse irrational online arguments. Also I

I don't use it myself, but I feel like the way Grok is integrated into Twitter is a pretty good thing for discussions, as it is certainly a more objective and rational voice than most human participants. I think it's good that peo

I unironically think so, though. I though this was a great though-provoking comment by OP. I think it's a totally legitimate thing to ponder and on most internet forums you'd just be ridiculed for it. OP even qualified it by sayin

The paper does seem to include a section where they check what the AI is used for and in work contexts, there was no correlation between depression and AI usage. Only in personal contexts.

Maybe I'm nitpicking here, but in their abstract > "Greater levels of AI use were associated with modest increases in depressive symptoms" to me ever so slightly implies causality via "increases ...", even though

The headline should be qualified: Maybe it makes you boring compared to the counterfactual world where you somehow would have developed into an interesting auteur or craftsman instead, which few people in practice would do. As someone who i
