Greetings Vekz! Great to read your article! (Conrad from the coworking group)

It seems like you're just kind of arguing that every culture everywhere at all times was the most awesome culture ever and had the most awesome scientific achievements and saying that relative comparisons are possible is uncouth Even t

I do find it curious that not that much science came out of the Byzantine empire- Yes there was some, but (with my admittedly limited knowledge) it does seem to pale in comparison to the earlier stuff from Greece, Rome or even the Arab Cali

Mice brains are a lot easier to image than human brains afaik, solely because they can fit into such a tiny MRI tube, with far simpler magnets. So if any mouse MRI tech is scaled to a human device, it will almost certainly have far less res

The irony is they don't realize the land their house is on is worth a lot more if the person they sell it to in future was allowed to build a skyscraper on it

Getting shot by a micro drone sounds painful- I'm at least hoping the the AI Yann and Andrew help create will be smarter than that, and will have found a less painful way to kill us

We should also make all nuclear weapons blueprints open source on github- We'll be much safer if everyone can take a look at them!

A religion is arguably when you refuse to engage with other people's arguments Lecun has refused to engage with anyone's arguments, so why are the people worried about AI ex-risk the religion?

It's a moral hazard if people over 250K got bailed out in the past. Look up the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.

by drcode 4y ago
You are right of course, but we've established a moral hazard There will be a cost to suddenly altering expectations, I guess there's a chance we might see what that cost is now (but probably they will just get a boring bailout)

Yeah this is a fact lots of people don't want to accept To be fair though, in the US we've long established an expectation that if you have funds in a bank account at a registered bank, the government would back those funds It&#x2

Well, the main implication I would think is that we will want media to be digitally signed by human individuals that have a reputation So a person will "vouch" for content, and we consume the media vouched for by people in our whi

Agreed, the lack of critical takes is a problem and removes some of the value- Probably not helped by the fact that chatgpt is trained to avoid confrontational language

Yeah I'm torn about this- I kind of agree I'd prefer this to be a more direct information transfer. But I also think that a conversation between two knowledgeable people on a subject can add additional insights and can be more ent

The idea of "cognitive load" seems relevant in this scenario: If a human is asked to remember such details while having a chat conversation, it would likely greatly decrease the quality of the conversation, as a lot of mental effo

Yeah what I totally want when I have a nuanced question is an AI that just gives me a mealy-mouthed, non-committal response, such as in the example for this post on whether guitar or piano is easier to learn. If you asked your friend, who&#

It's analogous to measuring the length of something by using the length of your forearm Yes, it's less precise than using a tape measure, and it often gives an inaccurate answer (sometimes extremely inaccurate) but it's often

Yann's tweets on this are pretty funny. I would flippantly summarize them as: "Don't get me wrong, the openai people are great. All I'm doing is educating the media, who have the mistaken belief that chatGPT is good&quot
