While there will definitely still be places that are less impacted - those two will probably be near the first to become heavily damaged in terms of credibility. Wikipedia has multiple controls that facilitate quality and authenticity of co

Gotta remember that Anathem's society is downstream from us on the directed knowledge graph of 'enlightenment'. Even Stephenson - who's optimistic enough about emergent tech to endorse NFTs - thinks that actually handlin

I agree. My gut reaction to previous GPT releases was interest, but for this one (before even reading it) it was dread. I think we're very close to an inflection point where functionally all information is polluted by the possibility t

Basic probability - randomly walking a graph will tend to have you in regions of higher vertex density. Same reason why randomly picking a road intersection will tend to put you in cities - cities just have most of the intersections. (the w

Likely his best video - and one I recommend - is the multi-hour analysis of NFTs entitled "line goes up" (which also touches on other elements of the blockchain ecosystem). It (likely) had a non-trivial causal impact on breaking d

Someone could have an entirely transactional understanding of their job but assume that - alongside many implicit elements of that transaction - there's a component of through-line longevity.

While this is true on a purely de jure interpretation of the dynamics at play, a more clear-cut example - like same-sex marriage - makes it clear that the "right to marriage" includes not only the right to life-scale commitment to

IMO It's because - going back as far as the constitutional convention - political ideology in America has largely comprised of aesthetic movements that wear the shells of theory and policy for memetic power. I had a religious studies p

This is an ambitious take. There are so many cogent counterarguments here that it's tough to choose one, but consider this: The fundamental core of the American societal experiment was a separation from an overbearing authority in the

Because it's learned from people saying '$STRING is $N characters' a rough correlation between the token length of $STRING and $N. Given infinite training and depth, it would learn how strings tokenize and resolve the questio

Empirically, it's mostly been rural communities that have had their living standards raised (by moving into cities). It's not very pretty, but on a purely numerical level the benefactors far outnumber the hurt (using a very specif

If you're looking for narrative experiences, Disco Elysium is likely the best video game story ever told - bar none. Maybe not the best story (although it's really good) but the intersection of presentation and prose is exceptiona

It's pretty clearly an attempt at humor, but there's still room for troubling conclusions within that framing. For one, the fact that Musk is even being recommended that kind of content is concerning. Twitters algorithm is set up

I think this is a pretty significant misreading. The basic argument of Yishan's thread (external to the 'all tech companies want to do is tech, not politics' angle which is honestly kinda tangential) is that social media is h

The discriminant between the two positions is that 'free speech' (as constructed here, I probably disagree with the conclusion) need not be a binary. Where backdooring encryption is clearly a binary policy that once triggered can&

It still holds a pretty compelling position in the cultural zeitgeist - it's become an object beyond an event, largely decoupled from its origination by virtue of its excellence.

People also created and consumed food for pretty much the same reasons. Historical analysis and consideration of past culinary preparations is still very useful as an endeavor.

Or - a user follows a public figure out of good-faith interest, one of their tweets sparks controversy, and the replies get bad-faith violent (happens all the time). Then the next post is an ad for toothpaste. Colgate's not going to be

The same mechanism applies - sponsored posts don't want to be seen with any proximity (distance or time) to image-detrimental content.

I do believe it was - and it also betrays the critique: there is a wealth of discourse on what "real" art is - and that discourse has largely moved beyond "art as representative of real world phenomena". That attitude is

With the correct initial state, any Turing complete cellular automata (like CGoL) can model any computable system. We can computationally model prevailing quantum models (albeit incredibly slowly), so an unbounded CGoL field would fit the c
