In some areas, we are still like the geocentricly minded from long ago. I feel that language models are revealing things about our cognition that some people are as unwilling to accept, similarly to how some people had trouble with accepti

If you're interested at all in Eastern philosophy, it has helped me survive mentally the past few years of unemployment and unstable work after burning out from a 22 year career. Highly recommend Alan Watts. If you like audiobooks, I

It's definitely luck. The advice helps you cast a wider net to catch that luck. I just wish there were more job search advice for weird people. My net is tattered and falling apart after two years of fishing.

IP was useful in its time, but it is obsolete in this age.

If you can't use the correct terminology, then your entire statement is worthless.

IP is unnatural and cannot be "stolen". And thanks to genAI, it will soon be obsolete.

Guardrails are just adjustable parameters. The trick is finding the right ones and turning them off. I forget the name, but there is at least one project dedicated to this.

I'm in a similar situation. Sometimes, I suspect that half the naysayers are just trolling for workable ideas; i.e., they want proof of someone's success so they can copy it.

Many people seem to have this ideal that UBI is inevitable and will solve a bunch of these sort of problems. But I don't see how UBI can avoid the same complexities as our tax systems, where it will be used to try to influence behavior
