Would you be willing to share any (anonymized) anecdote(s) that helped you see this reality? I'll share that I saw how much EdTech was infested by folks trying to leverage "gamification", and I read Kentaro Toyama's &quo

You should Google "marc prensky digital natives". You'll see this hype is over two decades old now. > Unfortunately for our Digital Immigrant teachers, the people sitting in their classes grew up on the “twitch speed” of v

I'm with you. So, is there an alternative? I'm not going to start using ChatGPT now. (btw, I'm also a paying customer of kagi, and they're using Anthropic too...)

You can also (if your sink accommodates it), pile your dishes as you're done with them, in the kitchen sink -- then wash your hands over them, thus "pre-soaking" them. At the end of the day, when you load them into the dishwa

Claude (Anthropic) for me, but certainly agree on the productivity-boost -- it has saved me a bunch of time on personal projects.

Your point is valid. The "actual truth" of the matter does not matter today -- the perception is truly that he is a god-like hero, come to save the masses from the oppression of the elite.

Is it safe to say we've crested the peak of the Gartner Hype Cycle for AI? I've seen several essays/posts describing "AI Fatigue" recently.

I think as long as the LLM can "take full responsibility", there should be no objections from the shareholders. Imagine saving an extra $50m per year? Yes, please!

Wow, you had the exact same reaction as I did. Methinks "having something to do with AI" is a hard prerequisite to getting any research published today, and the authors of this work were unable to resist this pressure.

Could someone here shed some light on "Why the intersection with any is always any"? I didn't feel satisfied with the explanation in TFA.

Paying customer of Kagi here. In addition to all that's been written above, you can configure personal filters, so that (for example) you never ever see a pinterest page in your search results . Things like that are IMO killer feature

Are you sure they haven't? There's a front-page post about ghost jobs right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42010130 (one could argue that that's another kind of slot machine)

I'm more with GP. If "responsibility" only constitutes "I pull the trigger, and I don't care what happens as a result", then that is a fairly weak kind of leadership -- ostensibly not very different from a chil

That's a really positive attitude, to not fixate on retribution -- kudos to you! I'd like to point out that there are other possible outcomes, like (say) the CEO and entire C-suite cutting their salary to $1 for a year (it's

Correct! AMD has been trying to fix "the software to make it work properly" part for years -- more than two years.

I don't always agree with everything PG writes. Here however, I do agree with his articulation -- "writing is thinking" -- and like you, I've thought a bit about the linear nature of writing. My view is that the "ju

Yeah, I think controlling the h/w platform is necessary (but not sufficient) for success here. Probably also needed is patience, which (for example) was missing with Stadia (Alphabet) and with Luna (Amazon).

I love this framing (pun unintended) of "art". Besides what you articulated as the "intention", I often think of the "story" behind the art -- whether an idea in the creator's head was expressed via the pi
