This comparison is very typical. I've seen a lot of people trying to correlate performance in chess with performance in other tasks. Chess is a closed, small system. Full of possibilities, sure, but still very small compared to the wid

A powerful person that says nonsense with confidence is interpreted as having an elaborate plan. This has been a trend over the last decade. I'm surprised most people don't understand it.

Maybe not worth discussing something that cannot be objectively assessed then.

That is not exactly true. The brain does a lot of things that are not "pattern recognition". Simpler, more mundane (not exactly, still incredibly complicated) stuff like homeostasis or motor control, for example. Additionally, our

Given the known past history, I think this is one of the first times ever we can actually prevent an apocalypse-level event. I'm also looking forward to see amazing attempts at prevention of collapse and recovery.

I'm talking more about a slow decay that is not obvious to a single generation. One person in one lifetime wouldn't even smell it, but everything would be slowly corroding underneath. Definitely not a big single disaster scenario.

I think there's a strong argument for generalized systems collapse. It's a silent civilization killer, could be happening right now!

Very exciting to live in an apocalyptical era. I'm looking forward to discover which one of the several global threats to humanity will put us down first.

That was my opinion before the boat left the shore. We needed an open source boat that we could control. Now, however, I don't think that we have that option. Pretty much everyone in tech was coerced to board a single boat of commercia

Windows Native is fine. People in that space are comfortable with it. What needs to be fixed is the valley between unix and windows development for cross-os/many-compiler builds, so one that does both can work seamlessly. It's not

For most people, blackjack is gambling. There are non-gamblers who play it though. You can just count cards and eventually beat the odds with skill. I wonder if there's something similar going on here.

> Everything could be better That is a fascinating observation. We supposedly just unlocked the prometean fire, why aren't everyday things everyone uses getting better?

Fair enough. Not getting the tone is probably my fault.

Can you benefit all humanity and be unsafe at the same time? No, right? If it fails someone, then it doesn't benefit all humanity. Safety is still implied in the new wording. I can't believe an adult would fail such a simple text

Honestly, it's a company and all large companies are sort of f** ups. However, nitpicking a mission statement is complete nonsense.

We used to call those mid-life crisis events, and have a somewhat robust way of letting people going through them that we know exactly what it is.

Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future. Don't you try to think ahead. Save tomorrow for tomorrow. Think about today instead. I could give you facts and figures. Even give you plans and forecasts. Even tell yo

I like the use of the word "derives". However, it gets outshined by "new result" in public eyes. I expect lots of derivations (new discoveries whose pieces were already in place somewhere, but no one has put them togethe

From my experience, larger models also don't get the direction right a surprising amount of times. You just take more time to notice when it happens, or start to be defensive (over-specing) to account for the longer waits. Even the mos

You always want faster feedback. If not a human leveraging the fast cycles, another automated system (eg CI). Slow, deep tasks are mostly for flashy one-shot demos that have little to no practical use in the real world.

Damn, if the future is so uncertain that it changes at every month, maybe I don't even want to be ahead! I would want to use the anxious low ranking pioneers as scouts that face all the risks while I have more freedom to change course
