I think the issue here is more about the unintended second order effects. Yay! Drug and alcohol use is down... annnnnnddddd now theres a mental health crisis, increase in suicide rate, and the fertility rate is dropping like well drug and a

The general sentiment around this phenomenon tends to be that a drop in drug/alcohol use is a positive social change... I'm pretty skeptical of that hypothesis. They also left out that having sex is on the decline and that is 100%

Correct. IQ isn't an effective measurement of intelligence as is typically stated. It is (at best) a measurement of learning disabilities.

Dan McKinley ("McFunley") is internet famous for a bunch of things including (if I remember correctly) the highest rated Stack Overflow comment of all time. He has a video that I basically share with everyone who's trying to

Just an observation. If the models are hitting the top of the S-curve, that might be why Sam Altman raised all the money for OpenAI... it might not be available if Venture Capitalists realize that the gains are close to being done

Seems like you're listing highly regulated industries not human interaction.

Pretty fluffy article for someone who is a PhD, MEd, (AND Best Selling Author!). I read the first half and skimmed the second half because the author couldn't make a point somewhere in the giant wall of text. Even if there was a point

question: I'm not a smoker, but would the information be able to be generalized?

As expected, AI is great for stuff thats been done a million times. AI will slow you down for anything even slightly novel.

Can't help but think about this scene from silicon valley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdXyPYKQo The "no revenue" scene... All OpenAI needs to do is start making some revenue to offset the costs!

In theory you could Show HN and have your bots upvote it... that would indeed be good marketing.

Probably something that can be learned from this information, but I doubt the conclusion the author arrived at is correct.

Maybe just me, but authors gravitate towards certain formats that fit them. Oscar Wilde did great with Dorian Grey but it was nothing compared to his plays. Imagining J.K. Rowling writing a blog feels wrong. I get Gwern's perspective,

I for one am shocked. Shocked I say. There are dozens of us surprised by Facebook's actions... DOZENS.

Not really. I think you would be surprised if/when you cross over to the side of being an employer or maybe even a hiring manager. Its a different job sure (being the employer or directing work) but you and the people doing the work ca

Ignoring the explicit text which everyone seems to be overly concerned with... I'm not really worried about that. The article makes you think for a second... The thing I like about this article is that you should be concerned with thes

Other companies know easily what their competitors are paying... you can't leverage labor market competition to bump your salary. You can't start a bidding war between employers.

So question for HN on this topic: I've always considered salaries not being public to be better for me because historically I've been able to negotiate well when we get to that stage, but I know that this isn't the case for e
