You're curious about the non-western perspective? I can tell you that social changes are arriving at a much faster pace in Asia than what we're experiencing in the west. This isn't because the Asian countries are more progres

This is pretty damn cool. I love pitting the AI against itself and watch it debate back and forth. Prompt: Write a dialogue between a starving artist and an old school railroad tycoon debating whether or not we should be taxing billionaires

The AI community needs to get real. All this talk about "large language model based AIs" is just smoke and mirrors. The technology is nowhere near advanced enough to convince the majority of people that it can provide genuine valu

Thanks for your premature concern, but we'll be fine. Despite how it may appear to a layperson such as yourself, the value of human creativity is in no way diminished by the release of this tool or others like it.

I'm not too familiar with the game CICERO. Is it the type of game in which adopting a "psychopath" mindset gives you tactical advantage over others?

I think this is a backwards take. The social stigma against those not conforming to the assigned gender norms has been entrenched in our culture. We've been getting better in recent years - the number of fathers who beat their boys for
