There are two sides to the coin: susceptibility to infection, and infectiousness after infection. Given that vaccination reduces disease severity, it seems likely that vaccination decreases your viral load after infection. Therefore, though

You've convinced me to do the same. Thanks. Tip for anyone following suit: If you're worried that they'll "catch" that they've already vaccinated you, by seeing your name and address in their database, just cla

The robin example applies to BERT, not GPT-3. With GPT-3, here are a couple generations I got for "A robin is not a": A robin is not a bird of a thousand feathers. It is a bird of a thousand songs. – Lebanese Proverb A robin is no

The OpenAI team cares about harm reduction. They were founded on this idea: if the CCP is the first to create AGI, there will be great harm to anyone who values personal freedom. Perhaps the open source community could instead be the first

It's a prism with one of its vertices sliced off. I guess it's kind of nifty that a computational model predicted it. But treating the shape as being so mysterious / difficult to describe is silly.

I think it's odd that you think it's odd that I have a strong opinion. Brexit is equivalent to MAGAtry in the US. A populist, nativist, authoritarian movement, favoring strongmen over institutions. Are you sure it's not you

Yep, when we defer to the public instead of experts to make decisions, we get Brexit. The devastation of a country. I don't think your example is bolstering what you think it's bolstering.

The article doesn't claim that distrust is recent. It claims the opposite. It claims that people historically have seen strongmen as the "legitimate" authority. As a corollary, authority from anything other than strongmen was
