Blood on his hands is a little strong. You don’t think the ethics might be little more subtle?

Wow thanks for sharing. The time flew by when I was reading. This is the fundamental lesson that humanity must learn. We must reject the impulse to give away our creativity to a mystical/technological sky daddy that incorporates us

I imagine the problem inside the company looks like this: 1) data science team collects numbers to suggest that the problem of Botz is catastrophically widespread 2) said numbers are presented to management. If they acknowledge the numbers

The best interview that I ever had was one in which the dude wore a fedora and we white-boarded. And yes we talked about algorithms. But I got the sense that he didn’t care if I knew any particular thing per se so much as was trying to fi

The clear issue with your post is that doesn’t mention the several high profile cases in which X clearly was banning accounts and posts related to things like rival services or for criticizing musk. I’d post a summary here but there are lis

Could be both. It seems highest likely that at some point addiction to AI “companions” or entertainers will be a huge societal problem.

I was in a similar situation fresh out of college. I’ve been hacking code since the third grade but somehow I found myself working for a dev shop in the Midwest full of non hackers making BS software. I remember burning with the feeling o

Nah just learn to love more people. It’s the “one weird trick” we’ve all been looking for.

India has a boom in outsourcing right but it’s going to get squeezed especially hard from AI. I work with Indian web app developers from major Indian cities. In the last 10 years ive noticed that the technical ability of Indian devs has r

If a young person says they want to make a living as a influencer/youtuber/writer/streamer/musician I would tell them to strongly reconsider unless they have a reason of substance besides pure ego to think they can beat

Fascinating. I’m working on something similar right now though taking a slightly different approach so not a competitor. Lemme know if want to bounce ideas sometime.

The last section is the most important. There’s a massive difference between what you can do with the text output of an LLM versus being able to know and play with the individual weights, depending on your use case.

Is it elaborate? Such a fake out is a trope of basic game theory that would be easy to see for someone who understands basic data analysis. And the implementation would be trivial compared to the work the malicious actor has already gone th

The reality is, the economy is on a ticking timer for when it will be turned upside down by 1) LLM agent workflows 2) AGI 3) superintelligence. There are many companies who know this and want to hedge against that future but they simply do

The wonder what kind of revenue they are hoping to get from the short amount of attention users will fork over when they are already stressed from traveling. And how does this revenue compared to the overall cost of the ticket. Are airlin

But they are a darn convenient mental model if you’re just trying to do some basic async. The alternatives are harder to wrap your head around. Unless I’m missing some other cool pattern.

I mean it’s one thing to say “we want to make a voice that’s friendly… like SJ, and then to imitate the voice. It seems insidious to ask someone to be the voice and then when that person says no you just use the voice anyways. They should

I wonder how the business would be affected if the public opinion turned against him.

I agree that these archetypes exist generally speaking. And any team will inevitably have a certain degree of waste. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not very important for director level and above management to continually be looking for

It might be a stretch comparison, but if like to know whether the authors believed that they had other better data points or industry averages to refer to. Ultimately, the question is… “is spaceX putting profits above people”. And then ho

Low effort claim to the point of being suspicious. Are you saying there isn’t a clear historical precedent of spy agencies of various governments trying (and in many cases succeeding) to influence politics and thought in other countries?

If we’re going with heuristics, I propose one more… if he suddenly turns up dead from a heart attack, suicide, or drug overdose should we assume he was in over his head and he was taken care of by “market forces”?

If you think this is an example of one-sided journalism and want to convince anyone else if your position (as opposed to coming off as a one-sided musk supporter who compresses all musk critics into a single group and then strawman them), p

If it’s a serious business idea you might want to address the elephant in the room… who actually wants to spend their time reading a book written entirely by AI? … which will end up having factual inaccuracies and a very bland writing style

Don’t the senders of these messages understand the risk of alienating the people they are trying to mobilize? (My conspiratorial side wonders what’s stopping political opponents from spamming “black flag” messages… ie to reduce the turnout

They are annoying but I don’t understand why they being used on a site would be correlated with usefulness. Pretty much any site that bad actors would want to spam or scrape would be incentivized to use them. (Whether they work or not is

Apps track information of all kinds about you and it’s not hard at all to link this data to your real world identity. Even just the search and watch history would be a goldmine for any foreign (or domestic) spy program, especially if you c

Not the most eloquent version of the larger argument against “term cleansing” that I’ve seen. I’ll give my version, via a series of statements: 1) love your neighbor as you love yourself 2) as an individual, try to speak words that reflect
