I took that phrase to mean "don't be blocked by any institution, person, or societal expectation to pursue what's interesting to you". Could be casual research, a cursory glance, or a deep internal investigation of yours

I think you make a really good point at the end, that those with antisocial and pathological passions shouldn't be encouraged for the sake of societal health. They can really make a huge profit if done in a certain way, right? Exploiti

To be clear, I like the idea of making something really useful and being rewarded from bettering other people's lives. I don't doubt that if you make something really useful for the world, you can gain a lot from it. But when peop

Yeah, I had a similar sentiment as I read the last sentence: "You're not the best at everything, and you don't have to be." It really does get harder to internalize this when it starts to involve real, tangible outcomes

These tactics of slapping numbers and quantifiable metrics on resume bullet points really do remind me of the formulaic clickbait tactics on social media. Once everyone starts to do it, it leaves the same film of tacky bullshit everywhere.

One time, I sent in a question to a panel of anonymous recruiters asking if they could tell that a quantitative number in someone's resume bullet points was bullshit, and if they even cared. The only responses I got out of that were &q

I largely agree with this article, though I think the point about being aware of your own choice nodes is really important here. > Learn how to identify the moments when your mind is readily responding to your will. In my personal expe

That does sound like an interesting idea. Upon further thought, I think that it would heavily depend on implementation. In a bad case, I envision a ton of companies or institutions employing very strict & narrow situations to the poin

The idea of testing an agent with annoying situations, like uncooperative people or vague responses, makes me wonder if, in the future, similar approaches might be tried on humans. People could be (unknowingly) subjected to automated "

I'm speaking as a potentially ignorant layman here (in the US), but if you need a job for income then isn't that taking away a lot of avenues for entry career progression and way more competition for remaining roles? I don't

Interesting perspective. I do agree that there are people out there who develop a distinct "taste", but I can't tell if this refers to a "style", an emergent property of multiple "habits", etc? I've a

I think memorization gets a bad rep because you need to be acutely aware of what you're memorizing, like memorizing the sequence of an answer sheet instead of core concepts. But when done sufficiently rigorously, the foundations of mem

To be fair, I would totally have the same reaction if this project didn't have all the "satire" and "jokes" stamped on it, and if it was advertised for actual use in research papers. And while this project in partic

Sure, I'm a bit tired of repetitive ChatGPT output too. But I'm really surprised at how vitriolic this reply is. It's a student's side project , with the tagline "Your Source for Academic Satire", with a basic

It would be great to have examples of such interviews so that I'm convinced it's not just another ChatGPT wrapper. Maybe one free mock interview?

I would think the answer is to peer into the applicant's thought process through conversation and decide if they're capable enough for the job, LLM or not. Are you looking for specific criteria on how to judge junior applicants?
