My problem is that it "finds issues" all the time and it never really ends. You go through the list, make a decision on how to go about it, give it back to the AI, it does the changes, you ask for issues again, there are now new i

I find that it really is effective when you iterate and plan and review, but the problem is more psychological on the human side. It's just too easily available to take the lazy option and just let it do the thing, postpone the thoroug

I don't dislike those tropes because they are frequent or because they are not pleasing to read intrinsically. I dislike them because it tells me it was made by AI and AI output varies strongly in quality and most of it is low on insig

It's the same walled garden principle. Benevolent Google will protect you from synthetic media by embedding invisible watermarks, from malicious apps by blocking sideloading, from porn by ID verification, etc etc. It's the same pr

I took a course in speed reading, learning to read straight down the middle of the page, and I was able to go through War and Peace in 20 minutes. It’s about Russia.

And then there is Dwarkesh who sounds like 2x on 1x.

Me too, but often it's more out of FOMO and a feeling of there being so much other stuff to listen to. But in truth it's either way just a fraction you can listen to from immense amounts of valuable stuff. On more reflection, I fi

I think he's just genuinely excited about the capabilities. (I do understand that for Anthropic it's a brand boost as well, just like signing other prominent researchers, as it was with LeCun and Meta etc).

What is he selling? How is this time different compared to when he was at OpenAI or at Tesla? You could say he was shilling those products too. I don't see any shift. He's still posted free in depth YouTube videos recently.

It's already possible to lie with text. Pixels are pixels. If we can't blindly believe pixels to show the truth, we will be simply back to the pre-photography era which managed to have a concept of truth regardless.

Do you have any suspicion of why they are not putting in the effort then? Do you think they think their output is better this way? Or maybe actually they don't really give a damn deep down?

What is your company producing? Do you think it's worth being passionate and enthusiastic about? Or is it perhaps reasonable to just do the bare minimum to get a paycheck? People see that it's bullshit anyway and the job doesn&#x2

Trauma is overused. They're just neurotic.

If they have no moral weight, then it wouldn't matter how they react to stimuli. They would be instruments to be used for the only conscious being, the solipsistic self. Maybe sometimes they would present powerful obstacles in the way

Yes? That's not really a secret. This is a 2014-level comment on the black box nature of deep learning. Everyone knows this. People like Chris Olah and others are working on interpreting what's going on inside, but it's diffi

Thanks, I thought there was some other kind of flareup recently. This seems like bog standard service provider stuff. When my Vodafone internet connection has a lot of outages, I switch to another ISP. Same here. No need to overdramatize it

There is also a public, state-funded version in Hungary. For example here is the constitution: https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/2011-4301-02-00 Which countries don't have it? Is it a civil law country?

A large part of the effectiveness in counting calories is that you pay more attention and make more conscious decisions and are less likely to "cheat" if you have to enter it in your food log. It's indeed like astrology. Simp

Really? In which country? In Hungary we have several such services. Before the Internet was so widespread you could even buy it on a CD. Here is an example: https://jogkodex.hu/jsz/kftv_2013_87_torveny_5995373?r=25 You

Yes, at this point I can't read this kind of AI text recreationally. It is somewhat fine when I ask Claude Code to explain to me something about a codebase or to summarize and collate info and it comes out in this shape. But if you&#x2

It's very profitable in the short term, and later they can just move on elsewhere and do it to another company. It's not mismanagement at all, it's a solid strategy from the external point of view.

This is the flipside of MBA-brain. Treating people as replaceable equivalent cogs in a machine, thinking that the company itself, as an abstraction, is where value lies, when it lies just as much in the context and nurishing environment. Yo

It's not inevitable that the founders have to sell to big tech. They wanted money more than the excellence of the craft. They got the money, the company got to grow and made way more profit than when it was small scale but excellent. T

This Disney brain of the Americans is what the problem is. It's not good guys and evil guys. It's money. Money and power have mechanisms. Pinky promises, benevolence etc. don't mean anything in capitalist business. It doesn&#

So what? People have to unlearn this kind of brand loyalty. Companies are not people and not your friends. They are in the business of making money. We need to be more aloof and simply use their tools when useful and not get emotionally att
