Perhaps I've missed something, but where will the infinite amounts of training data come from, for future improvements? If these models will be trained on the outputs of themselves (and other models), then it's not so much a &quot

Yes, I found it funny that the interaction the reviewer did participate it (asking for tea) was okay to conduct while still strapped into the AVP Face Jail, but: > One caveat is that, out of respect, if the conversation is more than th

I'd like to recommend Johann Hari's "Stolen "Focus" to you. You'll probably recognize several patterns, personal and systemic, that are fighting against (y)our ability to maintain the focus needed for many wort

130,000 cells, and 50 million connections mapped. This is an awesome dataset -- I wonder if it'll be accessible to the general public?

If you haven't already read it, you should check out "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. One of the mental models I gained from that book was (paraphrasing): Society (other people) will try to program us with their own

I'm not an IG "user" (I'm writing that word in the "addict" sense), but I believe you're right about its harmfulness. On the Elon front, you're not alone in thinking that he has essentially OD'ed

Maybe this is how we "save the planet" -- take ourselves out of the equation.

The gameplan is simple: * Capture the market (like Uber), by doing whatever it takes to be successful (e.g. offer your services at 1/3rd of what it costs) -- flush the equivalent of several countries' GDP down the toilet, if neces

Indeed, and SoftBank flushed a ton down the toilet named WeWork because of Adam Neumann's charisma. I don't think anyone doubts Sam's ability to charm people and tell a good story. The graver concern is "should we trust

Yeah, these are today's "pets.com", and will be among the first to implode.

I did not bother reading this article, but it reminded me of Stephen Fry's words: "The greedy countries, corporations and criminals can see in AI unparalleled and unprecedented means to accrue wealth, power and influence." h

HHGG-style, like how our planet was summarized as "Mostly Harmless", your comment is a pithy summary of CEOs: "necessary evil".

I'm reminded of Chris Rock's "Guns, don't kill people, bullets do!" In a more serious vein, this is definitely about unleashing an extremely powerful technology, at scale, for profit, and with insufficient safeguard

You're right -- there's nothing axiomatic about the trustworthiness of pixels, and there was a brief window of Time in human history when photos/videos had the qualities you mentioned, and (sadly) that era will end soon. Bein

Hmmm, there will be so much FOMO among your regular listeners once you scale to millions of audio book and titles... how will anyone know that they're not missing out on the "best content"? Perhaps there could be a way to hav

Oral communication is one of the oldest and most powerful inter-human channels (possibly only facial expressions are more primal and powerful) [0] LLMs have "hacked" this channel, and can participate in a 1:1 conversation with a h

I'm unaware of WebRTC being used for this sort of "multicast" context, especially with such a high "fanout" -- all I've used/built are p2p contexts like video/data. Not knowledgeable here, but also in

Are there any resources for learning about tech co-operatives in the USA? Do you happen to know any (specifically in tech), that you would recommend? Thanks!

Is this an intuitive personal observation of yours ("shift the brain [...] frequency")? You're on to something there. You should look up Kaufman et. al.'s "High-Low Split" research: > Two initial randomized

This sounds rather holistic, and avoids many pitfalls of the "leetcode hazing" approach. I do want to point out that anyone trying to line up their next job while staying employed, would probably not be able to take 2 weeks off

While snarky, I think your comment is incisive. It might be a little bit "on the nose", kinda like "speaking ill of the dead" too soon. Intel is not yet interred... Interesting to see how Intel's hubris has painted

IMHO, this is one of the most "wise" replies on this thread. I personally experienced that "reality of academic life", with my own (now abandoned) Ph.D journey. It's worth calling out how recent (and US-centric) it
