imo this is a key component of a successful VR future for live events. Many cameras at a venue, viewers strap on a headset at home and get to sit/stand anywhere in the room and see the show. Also I love the example video. Folks could m

I disagree with this. I think there's probably a baseline "capacity for delusion" we all share, but the very wealthy are insulated from the negative repercussions of their actions in a way everyday folks are not. They also ho

Gavin is a perfect example of this, tho fictional. "Doing good" was a route to personal success and domination; Gavin under a Trump admin would have dropped the act, just as others have done.

correct. "liberal" as in the general ideas that ie expanding the franchise is important, press freedoms are good, that government can do good things for people and for capital etc. Wikipedia's intro paragraph does a good job

No I don't think it is. I DO think those two people want to be in charge (along with other billionaires) and they want the rest of us to follow along, which is in my book an authoritarian POV. pmarca's recent "VC is the only

Oh I'm not saying they every believed more than their self-centered views, but that in a world that leaned more liberal there was value in trying to frame their work in those terms. Now there's no need to pretend.

I see OpenAI's original form as the last gasp of a kind of liberal tech; in a world where "doing good" was seen as very important, the non-profit approach made sense and got a lot of people on board. These days the Altmans an

Definitely understand the frustration around the bait and switch. I was not trying to imply that by stopping your support for Wikipedia you’re potentially racist; rather that by referring to anti-racist organizations using the term “culture

As far as I can tell “culture war” here means fighting racism, or fighting racism specifically in a way that you don’t like. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I just asked it this twice and it gave me 65×65×130=549250. Both times. The first time I made it about ducks instead of people and mentioned that there was a thunderstorm. The second time I c/p your exact text and it gave me the same a

I'm kind of dreading anywhere I work picking up the service b/c of how much I'd have to say the name without laughing or making jokes about it.

A failing/failed state leads to more corporate power and control. I think it’s that simple.

My guess is bc hallucinations in a legal context can be fatal to a case, possibly even career endu g — there’s been some high profile cases where judges have ripped into lawyers pretty destructively.

This is such a dodge, whataboutism at its finest. “You have a moral critique of a thing? Well that’s weird because you clearly don’t have a detailed moral analysis of literally everything else you do in life, therefore this critique is just

Below the first Results header is a carousel of images. If you tap the arrows you can explore — I believe there are three examples where the final image is a person who’s face was applied from a reference photo.

Yeah the failure states are really an issue. Happy path looks magical but there are so many ways that it can go wrong. And you don’t have the fallback of an actual human you’re talking to to clear it up.

McDonald’s makes a lot more money with the kiosks. Slowness is an issue but the upselling is major, and putting a lot of images of tasty looking things in front of a hungry person is very effective. Chat could never do this!

The ACLU tends to take pretty hard line civil liberty positions, including defending hateful folks if their civil liberties are impinged. They’re not strictly a progressive organization.

I think there's two things being conflated here – 1. the pre-queueing in the station vs going directly to the platform and 2. if they also check tickets during that stage. In my experience 1 is very consistent – NYC and Philly at least

Is your assertion that if those philosophers hadn’t written then we wouldn’t have a misinformation problem on the internet?

Not only that, but more resources and more stability help foster successful relationships. If you want more two-parent households, make it a lot easier to have and care for a child.

I’ve had the same experience. I really want something of this quality that is accessible to hobbyists or folks managing non revenue generating things — any kind of social organization could really benefit!

My best anti AGI argument is that true reasoning remains elusive for LLMs and indeed any AI technology; that true reasoning is a prerequisite for AGI; and that solving true reasoning requires solutions that we don’t have yet and in fact don

If this was true in general all social networks would be interoperable. You may value a product like that more but imo it’s not the way it works in practice.
