Data transparency and copyright does not constitute “ethics.”

Sir, I would suggest that if Europe fails to be economically competitive, the downstream implications on European society will produce much worse outcomes than (for instance) data transparency… Doing things with ethical intentions does not

How do you use it?

by dr_dshiv 4mo ago
I used to write detailed prompts. Now I find the benefits of strategic ambiguity — rather than speaking imperatively, I emphasize my vision and then Claude can often figure out a method. This doesn’t always work better. But often enough.

Cybernetics is a precursor to AI and has a different intellectual tradition. Is it a long lost alternative name for AI? Kind of. I mean, if you look at how Sutton and Norvig define AI systems, it’s just goal directed agents with sensors and

Norbert Wiener’s cybernetics was based on automated killing — which he beautifully disavowed in peacetime [1]. Which historically is one of the main reasons we think about “Artificial Intelligence” instead of cybernetics (Wiener kind of pis

“1 hour, full power” is the dream. Something where I could get those last things done in the evening without disrupting my sleep. Chemically possible? Why not?

It would be great if they could improve upon it. I find nicotine to be an underperforming chemical, despite its popularity. A bit more of a cognitive kick would be nice. Know what I mean?

Definitely apples to oranges, sorry I wasn’t clear. I only included opus pricing for comparison—it is vastly superior. But even 3.1 flash lite is really useful. Of course, if I manage to reach my limits every week on my Claude $200 sub, o

3.1 flash lite — $0.25/$1.50 — plus insanely fast. 3.1 flash lite isn’t quite as good as 3 flash preview (which is the most incredible cheap model… I really love it) — but 3.1 is half the price and the insane speed opens up different u

Like thinking LLMs aren’t magic* because you utter “it’s just predicting the next token!” I’d argue, only slightly tongue in cheek, that thinking of LLMs as magical leads to more effective use than the predicting-next-token explanation. See

I teach students to use their own imagination like generative AI. Prompting works. They just need a bit of practice.
