It approximately is, imho. Wealth follows a power law distribution. People put the dividing line at different points, but it doesn't matter so much. The elite are a tiny fraction. The middle class are also a relatively small faction of

I don't think that's abnormal. That's the norm for political leaders in western countries. There are very, very, few people that rise to leadership positions from a purely working class background. Even Jeremy Corbyn grew up

I've been saying this since before Yanis was even a Greek MP. It's just so damn ironic that capitalism and free markets ended up building these huge corporations which are essentially planned economies at nation state scale.

Correct me if I'm wrong but LeCun is focused on learning from video, whereas Fei-Fei Li is doing robotic simulations. Also I think Fei-Fei Li's approach is still using transformers and not buying into JEPA.

It's a middle school essay that is trying to score points based on the number of metaphors used. Very unappealing and I wouldn't call it technical. EDIT: For all the people saying the writing is inspired by math/cs, that'

CNNs and Transformers are both really simple and intuitive so I don't think there is any stroke of genius in how they were devised. Their success is due to datasets and the tooling that allowed models to be trained on large amounts of

Millennials are really great parents and the result of that is that the kids are well rounded and less deficient. That results in conformity because the history nerd, also goes to the gym and the gym bro also strives to do well at school.

Why is that bad? When the topic is abortion, not being born is considered a good thing for the child, whose life prospects aren't so good on account of the economic conditions of his mother.

If you are a cleric, you are not supposed to be involved in any romantic partnership and sex outside of marriage is not allowed. As such it makes no difference if you are straight, gay or anything in between.

At first I thought it was a passport bro on vacation, but it turns out it was a love affair (cheating). Everything about this is disgusting and whoever pushes this shit as some kind of romance needs a kick in the butt.

I said nothing about belonging to different economic classes. My point is simply that if you are 1 of 50,000 in a meat processing plant, you do not really have any way of competing with your fellow workers. You might try to work harder and

Good point. I am not familiar with Hollywood to know what their job market is like. EDIT: another commented mentioned that NBA players are also unionized. I think there is a second element to it, which has to do with how monopolized the emp

What makes solidarity between workers possible is the homogeneity of their labour. This condition is not present for tech workers. Labour market conditions are completely different from those of say, a meat processing plant or a factory ass

Isn't conscientiousness a biologically driven psychological trait? I always assumed that to be the case. I don't think you can train conscientiousness or any other psychological trait for that matter. But I am no expert and would

The thinking in Europe when it comes to AI, is "AI for industry", or "AI for science". Like they think of AI as providing a supporting role in industry or science, but they do not think of AI as a goal in itself. This th

It ironically seems like a very similiar market to internet search. There was no moat there either, other than the capital needed to bankroll a better search engine. A lot of these AI companies will eventually fail (not because their models

Fascism and antisemitism are two completely distinct ideologies, but there seems to be an undercurrent of propaganda trying to conflate the two as if they were one and the same. I have seen quite a few banal comments like yours in the past
