Reading the article it seems like he was late to the party, and certainly wasn’t the architect. Just an investor seeing the market for what it is.

Ignore the haters big dawg - your commentary and distillations are widely appreciated but there's always someone having a bad day looking for a punching bag.

All around us a societal contract is disintegrating. It's unsurprising to see the same with faked disabilities to gain an academic edge. It was the case years ago but it seems like there's a more formalised industry to support suc

You'd have to expand on that because I don't see why one is related to the other. People get value out of giving their data to OpenAI. They don't care. So what?

I share your abhorrence but are you really shocked? "Think of the children", "Stop the terrorists," these have been the foundations for the erosion of personal liberty for the past thirty years.

I suppose my point was that it’s detached from reality to say that real engineers refuse to build “dangerous” systems. All of the most dangerous systems are built by engineers and outside the most progressive circles it’s quite obvious that

Wat? Who is building cruise missiles? Who is building bombs? Not engineers?

Ah The Harder They Come was such a sick film, though regrettably one of the only Caribbean films I’ve seen. Anyone have recs?

Thanks! I probably should have read the damn wiki haha.

If you don’t mind could you briefly summarise your view on the Falklands War? Was it a distraction for UK or Argentinian leadership?

You keep exclaiming I have some racial hatred but I really don't. You know who else hates these violent career criminals? Black people just trying to get on with their lives! They're the ones that suffer the most, statistically sp

> regard schizophrenics as "subhumans". I hope you aren't insinuating this is my position? That man is a subhuman. He is lesser than a rat. I wish him nothing but unending torment and fear for many years to come. In no way

Saying that there are cities with endemic violence and anti-social behavior tolerated by left-leaning DAs, which inevitably leads to someone with dozens of priors committing heinous acts of violence, now qualifies as white nationalism? For

It's all probability distributions. A bus driver will usually stop the bus and refuse to move if someone refuses to pay the fair. People who skip fairs are more likely to commit other crimes. If you put these together, you improve th

Yeah there's a difference between psychotic dread-heads with knives and college kids on a shroom trip.

Watching Iryna Zarutska get stabbed in the neck and a bunch of people do fuck-all to help her wasn't anyone's propaganda. Though it was radicalising.

That isn’t true at all so don’t speak to my experience. I grew up in an abusive household with an alcoholic who wasn’t an adulterer. It was total shit. If he had instead been closeted and cheating without ever disclosing it, as seems to be

This is a sad story but I don’t like that the onus is entirely on the father to have ended things and lived his best life. He also was under pressure. He also had a family and was trying to juggle things the best way he knew how. It is trag

You can be sure that, like most people who espouse such open-borders views, he has never been impacted by the negative externalities of such policies. Like the Uk Green Party leader who lodged a complaint about planned migrant camp in her t

I also believe it’s a bubble but how can it be a bubble if everyone thinks it’s a bubble? It seems like bubble is the general consensus but there hasn’t been something like a “pop” yet.

Good point. We shouldn’t build any drones. Why even have defence research?

No but I understand the confusion. Explicit = "type a slash command" , explicitly instructed by the user. Implicit means, LLM will pick this on behalf of the user without the user's explicit instruction to do so. Maybe not th

What's the difference between skills and slash commands? Skills are picked up and selected implicitly by the chat? Anything else?

> But it is competition between countries. Which, again, is restrained all the time. Countries will subsidise their own industries for strategic benefits. They also make trade deals with allies and sanction their adversaries. All of this

Eh... "ridiculous" is a matter of perspective. If you're running a country and you want your people to be well-compensated and live meaningful lives, shuffling the hand in their favour is not violating some physical law. Coun

I know someone autistic who also describes herself this way and was banished from multiple teams for being politically machevialian while also being incompetent - so YMMV
