I agree open-source doesn’t mean necessarily safety. But this isn’t about mega-corp vs startup who is better at changing the world. There is a potential major civilization-ending downside to the amount of change true AGI could bring before

The difference is SF has amazing weather, some of the best in the world. Detroit is a windy frozen wasteland 6 months of the year. I think they need to do a whole order of magnitude more self-destruction before they’ll really be able to kee

This is cute and all for creating one-off, in distinct, stylized images. But what if I want to illustrate say a children’s book with generated images? dall-e for example never gets faces right and good luck trying to have the same character

How do you use it exactly? I have wanted to use it for writing narrative documents but I need to give it so much context it just gives me general platitudes. Maybe for simple emails it’s fine?

I can’t help feeling like sand running through my fingers. All the low hanging fruit applications for GPT are getting taken by companies fortuitously in place to take advantage of the them. It feels like the stock market: by the time you he

Please enlighten us. I figure the company is likely Amazon, and it’s some core service like EC2 given that underpins basically everything and has different agents running on each box that are handled by different teams like CloudWatch?

As someone who worked too long at an office with non-existent ventilation and a fetish for long, closed door meetings, my motto became: “Take a break. Go outside. Walk around the block. Never come back.”

I have been inside several FLW houses/structures in the LA area and I don’t get it. They are massive, angular, with small windows and very little natural light, and evoke the feeling that you’re in a burial chamber built in the 1950s.

If you don’t know what you care about, spend time figuring that out first, even if it takes longer than you feel like it should. A good place to start is Cal Newport’s podcast Deep Questions

This seems like great advice for breaking down the problem. Thank you!

Interesting take. I thought I made it abundantly clear I don’t know what I don’t know and am looking to see if the idea is even worth pursuing farther? Perhaps the components exist, perhaps they don’t. Why not bounce the idea of someone els

Yes but for me it comes from the articles about environmental destruction. Not just climate but also the myriad other ways we’re making spaceship earth unlivable for our children and other creatures that share it with us. I wish I could fil

Definitely an in group vocabulary. This article is actually quite light on the lingo, but a couple other big ones are “a priori” and “update your priors”. Basically an attempt at applying statistical reasoning to reasoning in everyday life.
