Work is central to identity. It may seem like it is merely toil. You may even have a meaningless corporate job or be indentured. But work is the primary social mechanism that distributes status amongst communities. A world of 99 percent o

What if the girl above is crying and appears hurt because she has been mollycoddled, and this is a strategy to get attention? Perhaps the parents had clocked-on to this, and were just letting the girl self-soothe so she could learn resillie

I'd guess no. While they have similar training data, there is plenty of novelty and unique data entering each model due to how each user is using it. This is why ideas like model collapse are fun in theory, but don't really play

I sometimes wonder if the true "digital divide" comes down to those who were able to develop critical thinking skills prior to these last few years. If you had previously developed these skills through widish reading and patient c

A superpower being beholden to Netanyahu's impulses beggars belief. Israel, their client state, acts out in aggression against its neighbour against US advice. The US bails them out and takes the fallout now. Astounding.

Sure, but I'm still not sure it would realistically function. All data in this scenario is obviously synthetic data. It could certainly identify gaps in its "experience" between prediction and outcome. But what it predicts

How would a machine know that it doesn't know?

Doesn't really make much sense. It states that this is a purely mechanistic world with no emotion. So why would a machine be "bored" and wish to create a human?

Ha. Fair, but music that makes us think more than feel isn't necessarily always a terrible thing. John Cage, Steve Reich, even Battles is pretty intellectual in a way (it's quite literally math rock lol). I guess we like differe

I think it's a just a more experimental record. The lack of songwriting is kind of the thesis of the entire album, right? (technology, repetition, etc) It's aims are not to be Digital Love or their more conventional song-based st

Fine not to like it for those reasons. But maybe try listen to it next time from a more psych, garage, or post-rock perspective. They were influenced very early on by groups like Spacemen 3, and I see HAA as them doing something big and d

Exactly. It should have been a man who decided, who would have surely banished this imposter on the grounds of sedition and harlotry.

Gangs typically don't respect you if you don't fight back. This is a mob administration at this point.

I think he's taken pretty seriously. He was tenured at UdK for a while, which is a very prestigious European university. But somehow he has pushed Chomsky off the mantle to become the poster-boy for the criticism of neoliberalism. T

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. I read all kinds of philosophy (time permitting!) and it certainly doesn't have to be novel. However, when a philosopher adopts a rhetorical tone, I expect there to be some kind of cataly

It's a fair question. I'm not sure that I need to have my mind blown. There's certainly philosophy I read where somebody will be writing broadly about a school of thought or a niche aspect. I think what I find dull about B

Is he really saying anything new here with this concept? I've read a few of his books, and I can't think of one original or incisive idea or framework that is genuinely interesting or provocative. Eg, he talks about us today bei

I still don't get why Claude needs my phone number to sign up. Feels gross and is a such a shame, as their LLM seems great.

It's really not that helpful. He's an interesting enough thinker, but it's not exactly proactive or empowering. To me it seems like you may have broader issues with people pleasing and external validation. I don't know

Premiere and Resolve are fine. You quickly get used to their workflows when transitioning. Avid users are way too up their own arse and these complaints just feel pointlessly elitist and out of touch. Wouldn't you much prefer someth

Wish it was just generative AI for me. You don't have the same paranoia with LLM? So often I find myself getting a third of the way into reading an article or blog post and think: "wait a minute...". LLM tone is so specific

I'm not saying you are wrong here, but I think it is important to ground all of these old:young dynamics in culture. 'Subordinate', to me, is a very western lens and looks past the crucial point that the Japanese view power

I bought about 20 halogen ceiling lights for my housei last year when we remodelled. The electrician installing them could not understand why I didn't go for LED. I mumbled something about CRI and R9, but it seemed to just confused hi
