It's funny that so many people are using AI and still hasn't really shown up in productivity numbers or product quality yet. I'm going to be really confused if this is still the case at the end of the year. A whole year of

Citrini charges like $1000/year for a subscription. It's ridiculous he is using AI generated charts.

As a long time computer hobbyist who grew up in MSDOS and now resides in Linux I'm starting to wonder if I am not more connected to computing than a lot of people employed in the field.

I assume if someone used an LLM to write for them that they must not be comfortabley familiar with their subject. Writing about something you know well tends to come easy and usually is enjoyable. Why would you use an LLM for that and how

The Jevon's paradox example of plummeting costs to create videos doesn't make sense to me. If people are already watching 7 hours of videos a day how much more time do they have to consume video? There are only 24 hours in a day

Everyone should have their own private evals for models. If I ask a question and a model flat out gets it wrong sometimes I will put it in my test questions bank.

Is the progress of LLMs moving up abstraction layers inevitable as they gather more data from each layer? First, we fed LLMs raw text and code and now they are gathering our interactions with the LLM regarding generated code. It seems lik

I think a social norm of disclosing AI use at all times would be great. People and companies should also be held 100% accountable for anything created using AI.

I think the GPT3 or 4 minute mile moment for robotics will be when we see a robotic hand with the dexterity of a 6 year old. Once that happens it will quickly be over.

This has been my experience with every sports of weightlifting injury I've had and I'm in my 40s. The body wants to heal or at least compensate in some way. Light activity is often better than rest. I've got a knee that is

Why publish anything for free on the internet if it's going to be scanned into some corporation's machine for their free use? I know artists who have stopped putting anything online. I imagine some programmers are questioning wh

Sounds like philosophers will be the new programmers if playing around with language and definitions is all that will be left.

I am only talking about investments. You'll stress yourself out and might make bad decisions if you frequently look at your stock portfolio. Tracking spending isn't a bad idea if you're trying to save or struggling to save.

I update a spreadsheet twice a year which takes about 15 minutes. Tracking investments day to day isn't healthy imo.

Gatekeeping and exclusion are going to have to make a comeback if we want to have a thriving culture again. Sometimes people need to be told their art, taste, or morals are lacking.

The best way I can describe it is chatgpt has an urgent salesman like quality to its text. It adds words and sentences that have no informational content but instead are used to increase the emotional weight of the text.

You can still find plenty of reasonable housing in the US. As for young people on the coasts, yea I don't know how they will own a house within the next 10 years.

Why are they using an AI image for an article complaining about human autonomy being taken out of education and healthcare? People just don't get it.

I only do this on websites where I don't care if I lose the account. I use a password manager for anything that is critical.

It's rather shocking that they stayed together over such a long journey that included no stops. I tend to agree with the other commentators that they didn't fly the whole way to South America.

Two sources said that during the early weeks of the war they were permitted to kill 15 or 20 civilians during airstrikes on low-ranking militants. Attacks on such targets were typically carried out using unguided munitions known as “dumb b

I would say I have a poor to average memory and I can recall one mundane scene from being an infant. I was also creeped out when my 3 or 4 year old brother said he could remember being in the womb.
