I don't hate it. It's actually really easy on the eyes.

I mean maybe? My gut feeling is Quest 3 will be more than good enough for most people/use cases, and people will be more than happy to pay 7x less for what is - at the end of the day - basically the same experience. Vision Pro looks li

I guess the big question I have is... what's the point of an extremely expensive headset when it looks like Quest 3 at 7x less the price is going to deliver a roughly similar experience, quality-wise?

My prediction is that the “strike” will be utterly useless. It will usher in the era of full-spectrum AI moderation faster. The world will keep turning, and most Reddit users simply won’t care that much. Cynical take? Certainly. I think thi

Hard to take this seriously when “artificial intelligence” is presented in quotes, as though it’s a thing that doesn’t exist.

It's almost offensive how this "AI Canon" leaves out landmark AI results from... what, before the 2020s? (or 2017, I suppose) Honestly reads like something generated by ChatGPT.

Much more helpful. Only initially seeing this through the lens of the Reddit thread immediately made me question if it was legit or some clever GPT-4 disinformation.

Pretty impossible to respect a CEO that takes a 10% bump but cuts off raises for everyone else. Honestly, just disgusting.

It wasn't on Lex Friedman's podcast, but on another recent podcast that Yudkowsky said something that has been haunting me: > but what is the space over which you are unsure? We have no idea what the mind space of AGI / AS

I contend it's a perfect analogy. Entity A decided to try thing to get things back from Entity B. Entity A did not think the plan through nearly well enough to possibly conclude that the action was unwise, attempted it anyway, and it w

I think this is the biggest risk we're facing. Not necessarily ASI deciding to kill us off, but AI weapon proliferation triggering a hot war that goes nuclear. Or something like an AI weapon-based broad spectrum "digital first str

I mean it is kind of nuts. I didn't have "pretty much switch entirely to Bing" on my 2023 search Bingo card, but here we are.

I do not disagree with you.

Here's the thing though - I don't need you to get it. I just need you to not be as competitive with me because I get it . I'm not saying this maliciously, more just: that's what's going to happen. Across society.

We're not replacing people, to be clear - we are just finding ourselves able to do more with less now. A lot of organizations are going to come to the exact same realization.

Parts of the world might move slower, but I've already not hired folks because the job can be done easier with ChatGPT. I'm certain I'm not alone, nor am I certain this is a good thing when broadly applied across every singl

It’s not surprising or bad design at all. Words mean different things depending on context, punctuation, etc.

This is my take as well. It's still weak, and the more I use it the more I can see where it's just not quite there yet, but yeah - GPT 4 is clearly something new. Just spend any significant period of time with it trying to automat

Mighty strange definition of "unusable" you've got there. These are nothingburger complaints for 90% of typical Mac users. Sure, they might be annoying for you, but most users will just shrug at that list and think, yeah, but

You’re not going wrong. For the most part, blockchain is snake oil, at least in how it’s positioned.

Hi! Sadly I do not, it was a bit too rough on my body. But still work out, and a lot of what I learned at Crossfit is still useful today. But I'll never go back, ha.
