Depends on how relevant are the ads. I think it augments the business because now businesses are monetizing majority of visitors in some way. It's sustainable for long term if the ads are relevant enough for users to not drop off. Ads

I am not that familiar with the whole story, though I know it is in popular culture in US. From what I remember, it was about a bad behaving elephant who was euthanized publicly first by cyanide with electrocution as a backup. This was rumo

This article is weird. It takes examples from science fiction, and makes them as plausible cases as to what an AI could do in the future. These kind of things need to stop. This analogy of Blindsight tries to prove a point by association, a

I had clicked on the DHL one link. It took me to a site which looked like DHL, and in the next step, chrome refused to load the website. Is there any impact on folks on clicked on the links? I never entered any info as such, so not sure, bu

I think LLMs are potentially a good addition. My searches are based on different use cases: one is when I am looking for a quick answer, two when I am looking for some suggestions, three when I am looking to do research. ( Of course ignorin

It's optimization for PR and defense against bad press. For every question, a subtext is: "Who is likely to input that question, how likely are they to input it, and if the answer is bad by their belief system, they are likely to

An internal fix for attribution. I have worked with three companies - all three consumer - and they required a reliable attribution mechanism they could rely on to know which channel is required for acquisition of their users, and which one

It's a good starting point. It may get some things wrong, but that's where my ability to research and truth seeking lies. I usually google more anyway because i want to go deeper than what chatgpt offers. I will eventually get to

Not all of it is from chatgpt. It's a good starting point, and essentially tells me what to google and how to read further. When I get something, I anyway want to read more so would google around the topic. The ability to ask a cross q

I have kind of done that for last few months. Chat GPT helped immensely with that. I recently even asked if it's worth it to go back to academia. Still exploring that. A few things that I recently understood or read about. - Fermi Para

Very thought provoking read. One question I do wonder at times, and is probably applicable here is: "what if I removed all the constraints, what would I do differently and how would things change?". Eg: Suppose nuclear fusion is s

Not really. The current admission system is such that students with slightly lower grade would likely not make it. So, only those who make it are the ones who haven't taken much risks, focused on their grades, kept taking the subjects

They included many words but notably excluded the ones who are kind of hateful for curious and academically bent folks. Eg: nerd is one, then neckbeard, mouthbreather, and many other things i have been called.

Hey, many thanks for the response. The goal isn't wealth creation or to boost my career. The desire comes from two things: 1/ Physics has always interested me, I am willing to do deeper, good at Maths (calculus and all), and I reg

I have always wondered if people not able to quote/define the thing they are talking about is a negative or a positive. As with web3, as with AI, as with monopoly, as with censorship, as with Metaverse, and so many things in the last 1

Think asking for a generic question around trust is probably not the right question to ask, and the answers aren't really insightful. Instead, if you don't know anything about a topic, would you trust a report in one of the public

It was weird how they brought in a climate change quote from a normal Chennai resident. I would have expected an expert to be quoted on that. I have no idea whether she is right or wrong, this year has seen a lot of anomaly, including both

I just wonder what are the other things from comic books that might actually turn out to be true if there is research on them.

But the article is not talking about content moderation as such. It's about surfacing the right content for right people, and regain the trust that author believes twitter has lost, without really justifying how.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. They can do whatever they like, just that it felt weird given what YC promised earlier (not sure if they promise the same thing now). The other aspect of this is their target market (Seed

You mean you got accepted into YC, then a few investors heard about you, and decided to fund you before you start the batch or take the YC deal? I did not think of it like that. Any insights as to why you would accept money just before ente
