I think you just have to suspend your disbelief when watching anything involving the genre of "Person living in the wilderness with no technology youtube channel".

I almost think it will be the opposite with deepfakes becoming so ubiquitous that there will be a real event that people will believe to be fake. That seems like a bigger issue to me.

Just find a good Anki deck and get rid of Duolingo. To me, Duolingo is just a spaced repetition gateway drug to Anki.

More artificial Muzak generation that absolutely no one will ever listen to. My fav is the "hippie coffee shop" jam band clip. That will surely corner the market for Jam band background Muzak at "hippie coffee shops". To

This old school rap line it made about Wittgenstein is just hysterical to me Verse 2: Started off with Tractatus, showed us the way Language and reality, they're intertwined in play But then he switched it up, in the Investigations Lan

Imagine if we actually focused on papers being reproducible and deleted papers that were not reproducible or at least classified research that can't currently be reproduced. LLMs trained on reproducible research across domains would be

It even constrains what is done in conventional war too. Firebombing on the level of Dresden or Tokoyo would also lead to nuclear war now so those brutal tactics can't really be used anymore either. We also can't underestimate wi

I have found it to be both mind blowing and extremely frustrating. I don't know how many times now I have had the experience of it coming up with what seems like a great solution in python or javascript only to have the code simply no

Or what we think of today as social media is basically on its last legs. Your AI assistant will just take up so much of your time that you won't be bothered with what other people think. Communication with other humans online right now

Or what about just being old enough to remember when "I read it on the internet" was a pejorative and laughable statement in regards to the truth.

I don't see how Medium or even the concept of shared content has a future. I am sick of chatGPT in its current form but a future AI assistant with even the slightest bit of personalization will put Medium out of business. "assista

It is the same stupid arguments from 50 years ago that the electric guitar is just noise. These people that are so offended by AI art and music I suspect are the type of people who would NEVER go to an art gallery anyway. They don't ev

Epic soundtrack using orchestral instruments is somewhat interesting as electronic music but to me everything else is pretty bad. There is a million Industrial techno sounds, repetitive, hypnotic rhythms IDM tracks that absolutely no one li

This is the same stupid argument that Mp3 will destroy music instead of embracing the new marketing opportunities it represents. IMO an artist that wants their name out of the dataset is a moron. In the end , people copying an artist style

by epistemer 4y ago
It seems highly foolish from a marketing perspective for the artist too. I don't see how more people copying the artist style would not increase the value of originals. A smart artist here should promote that their style is staying in

Q4 earnings have been quite impressive too. I do imagine we underestimate the boomers here, the amount of wealth they sit on and the completely inelastic consumer spending they represent along with giving them an 8.7% raise in 2023. The peo

In the US, a small percentage of people drive completely insane. If going 75mph on a highway that is 65mph or 70mph someone will fly past going a 100mph. Those are the people that get tickets. Otherwise, it is pretty difficult to even get

I have gone from using midjourney for hours a day in amazement to being completely sick of it and anything it outputs in less than a month. I have seen hundreds of perfect variations on Duchamp's Fountain in my life too. AI Art is very

Youtube ultimately took off at the start because of copyright infringement. To me, it is why they have an impenetrable moat now. The scale of copyright infringement needed to compete with youtube to spark a new fire is a non-starter because

You can't claim we know the knock on effects outside of calorie restriction. If anything calorie restriction seems to dominate all other variables in all contexts but people don't like that answer.

Rapamycin to me is the bat shit crazy aspect of this. There is no research on taking a powerful immunosuppressant pharmaceutical for the next 40 years for "longevity". Not to mention testosterone. At least testosterone will make y

Out of shape people don't stick to high intensity training. It takes awhile to get your lactic clearance up. Most people will quit after a few workouts because literally feeling like you are going to throw up is not fun. It is January

I do super intense conditioning once a week and walk 5 times a week. People that can't be bothered to even walk are not going to stick to intense workouts. It is completely delusional. Not to mention, we know these do not train the sam

Personally, I am always more suspicious of 20.1% in this context when someone is obviously trying to bullshit with fake precision in a context that is inherently not that exact. 20% vs 21% is basically meaningless in this context. We can&#x

I am pretty sure that is exactly what the medium is the message means. The medium itself brings its own bias and manner of operation. Social media and a real public square are completely different. A social media post is never going to be t

I just don't understand how anyone can believe that basic income as a fundamental right will not reprice that income towards zero purchasing power. That just seems obvious since price is relative. It strikes me that the only way for th

It seems like there should be a control group of a non-medical person googling the questions. That would defeat the purpose of the career advancement though that this type of "research" is designed for. It is just a smart move by
