Actually, Gavin, I think you're an excellent writer, actually, and I rather enjoyed your articles. I hope you'll keep posting. It's just that... the US government, OSB and FBI agents, whoever is handling your application...

Hey dude, I'm a Christian too. However, you gotta realize that it's extremism that leads people to want to fly planes into buildings, something the FAA might be inclined to care a bit about. Also, mix religious extremism with q

You think the FAA isn't doing background checks and internet searches, finding out everything they can about applicants? If I apply for a part-time job at McDonald's, they're at the very least going to Google my first and las

Crazy idea, if local LLMs are good enough to translate languages reliably, an open source extension that translates every page you visit would be so incredibly useful. You don't even have to change your habits, just carry on like norm

I live in Taiwan, I've been learning Mandarin for 8 years and use it daily. I kind of can't stand the mainland accent, and I can't understand simplified characters. You may have an easier time finding interesting content if

The congressional hearing was hilarious. I thought the TikTok CEO did great, and the vast majority of questions Congress asked were pants-on-head ridiculous. They are so out of touch.

John Carmack left Oculus to work on an AGI startup. Of course he's not going to fearmonger AI's disastrous effects on the job market, he has a business to market.

I think the current train of thought is "keep increasing the size of the language model and you don't need to worry about integrating with LSPs". Perhaps there is some merit to this. If the language model is large enough to

Your comment made me suddenly remember just how high our opinions were of Google in the early days. They could do no wrong. "Do no evil" was truly their DNA, and we felt like they were the good guys in this evil tech world. Boy,
