Agreed. Reads as a bit of a gotcha. But wouldn’t we expect and want humans to be in the loop here?

Ya that’s true. I guess I’m imagining the “25%” being pushed towards 4chan type environments, and perhaps then a subset of that towards more dangerous environments.

My question is: What behaviors will come sideways out of this prohibition? My guess: You can’t outwit a digital native generation. Websites with less concern for the rules in general will become digital hangouts.

Addressed on Lex Fridman with Dario Amodei (CEO) and Amanda Eskell of Claude, they both insist the answer is no. I interpret their explanation for “no” as follows: these are probabilistic outputs, and so given any changes, for some inputs,

It’s true that although there’s long been ample evidence that cancer is a preventable disease (most cancers anyway), the medical community upholds the ‘randomness’ myth. I believe this is because 1. Doctors don’t want to blame their patient

Just to give a case in point on detection: if you autopsy men over 80 that die of unrelated causes, 80% have evidence of prostate cancer (see Dr Gleason study). You can imagine how sensitive detection/incidence amongst this cohort is t

The article is titled as a mystery and then framed as a mystery while answering the question: lifestyle factors heavily influence cancer. The article demonstrates this by a known factor, tabacco. Other lifestyle factors are similarly predic

30 years ago in South Africa there was fear about contracting HIV (and so inevitably dying) through the ear via public telephones (which is ridiculous and impossible). Doctors in trauma wards were terrified of contracting the disease. Huge

Yes, no doubt there are inverse consequences: I mean on an individual level, would catch cancers and potentially save those people’s lives. I believe breast cancer in pre-screening populations are often caught later.

For those not keeping up, we now have commercialized blood-based screening tools designed for early detection of multiple cancers by analyzing cfDNA methylation patterns. They can identify over 50 types of cancer, have a specificity of 99.5

An ex girlfriend’s grandfather had Lewis body dementia and was constantly telling her that he could hear perfectly and entirely songs from his childhood, songs he hadn’t heard in decades. Amazing that they’re still in there somewhere.
