But there are a lot of selection mechanisms that filter out the bad generated content. For one, people will publish a fraction of the content they generate, and it most likely will go through some more editing and selection steps by real pe

I watched Hoffman’s Lex Fridman interview, it sounds like his idea is that our perceptions are like a user interface that abstracts reality so we don’t perceive reality as it actually is. Isn’t that well accepted already? We know we don’t s

Isn’t the measurement problem still potentially linked to consciousness? We don’t know why we experience one thing when reality is actually in a superposition of possibilities. It could be that our measurement devices cause quantum collapse

What’s the “fingerprint idea”? That’s not mentioned in the article. I don’t see why this theory contradicts the one in the article, in your own examples you’re using bodily states as the input to emotional processes.

I’ve been meditating casually for almost 10 years, I couldn’t sit still for a minute when I started and can sit regularly for an hour now. I still have a lot of skepticism about the sensations that other meditators describe feeling, like jh

There’s always been fuzziness between data and code, it’s kind of the core concept of Turing machines.

Did you consider just using LLMs for your product? Even with LLMs it doesn’t seem trivial to format the survey data, design the prompts, validate them across a large dataset, and present the results with nice charts and links back to the or

I don't understand or appreciate what the mystique of creativity is. The inside of the black box could just be your brain randomly remixing concepts and evaluating the variations. Most of them are probably nonsensical (“purple monkey d

Agreed, there’s a lot more design space to explore with prompt chains/flows. But a single prompt requires design too especially if it’s dynamically generated. You have to choose what information to provide, frame the question or task y

I believe it’s that Bloom’s study implies that 1-on-1 pacing and teaching produces the best learning results, but that Bloom thought it was infeasible to scale to everyone: it’s “too costly for most societies to bear on a large scale”

Data truly is the new oil. When it’s all done the compute costs and code will be cheap or free. There’s a lot hinging on how we interpret copyright laws or what kind of data rights laws we enact.

3 and 4 seem somewhat valid. 1 and 2 only apply to a minority of people so Walker’s statements are good advice for most people. 5 is just ridiculous, it’s reasonable to average 7-9 as a recommendation of 8 hours.

The earlier GPT-3 models aren’t really like that, I wonder if their army of supervised trainers for InstructGPT were just instructed to write like that?

It looks like only the model was updated, the training data only goes up to June 2021 (same as davinci 2 I think). But GPT-3 came out in May 2020 so it should be “self aware” already.

Mixing artist names was by far the most effective way to create aesthetically pleasing images, this is a huge change. DreamBooth can only fine-tune on a couple dozen images, and you can't train multiple new concepts in one model, but m

I’ve always thought burnout is the same thing as learned helplessness, which is a pretty well studied phenomenon in psychology. It doesn’t seem mysterious to me that if you repeatedly do a task that is unrewarding for long enough, you no lo
