The average iranian dude is not going to send money to a company that has donald trump junior on its board of directors to 'hedge their bets' around the Iran war situation.

There's even more money to be made selling a false promise of infinite growth, dumping your bags, and riding off into the sunset.

This is the whole point. “Sorry, the AI said that you are not approved for this cancer treatment, it’s not going to be covered.” “Sorry, the AI said that you were at the scene when the crime took place.” “Sorry, the AI has flagged your acco

Theres this weird false dichotomy people do in energy discussions where they imply that you can either be an authoritarian regime with no property rights and build power plants, or have a rule of law and not build any energy infrastructure

What blows my mind is how little people seem to care about integrity. For how little they are willing to throw it away.

I would love, LOVE to pay 20% in taxes! Goes without saying, I work for a living and have far less wealth and power compared to PG. I think there is kind of a breakdown in social order here. If society allows you to become the chief, it oug

These two ideas, that (1) AI is making people more productive and (2) we are laying off employees because AI replaces them. Those two ideas are mutually incompatible. When employees become more productive, you always always always want to h

Why, lines of code, of course! As to how those lines of code translate to customer value, well, I'm not quite sure what the code does. And in any case, I've been talking more to my fleet of agents than to customers these days. I&#

Yes, you have to be very, very careful. Lots of abuse with involuntary commitment, that's part of why it was abolished so completely. I mean the reason this is a pipe dream and we all just opt to deal with it is that our state/ins

At least in California, there are a lot of public support programs. I mean, a looooot of public support programs. A LOT. Like, to the point where the state is spending tens of thousands of dollars for each homeless person, and probably nort

Ideally, the given example would be something not ajacent to the presently white-hot category of "AI agents". Like, look at e.g. YC minus the AI and AI ajacent companies. Are those startups meaningfully more impressive or fe

Why not take it a step further? Make each function in the codebase its own project. Then the codebase can fit into the context window easily. All you have to do is debug issues between functions calling each other.

I switched to Zed for the first time over the weekend on a somewhat complex mixed C/rust project. I was able to set the whole thing up in about an hour to my liking and it is a really nice IDE, coming from bloated VS Code. I think they

Very cool. I think what's so remarkable is that this is basically the (ultra crappy *) version of the original hypermedia. A person who knows something puts up a page, and uses hyperlinks to link to other pages. Those other pages have

I mean, yes? I think when we say, we should force 18 year olds to do something useful for society instead of working doordash or taking college classes that they don't care about, that is kind of saying something about the usefulness o

I was first made aware of GPT2 from reading Gwern -- "huh, that sounds interesting" -- but really didn't start really reading model output until I saw this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulator

Certainly correct, but I think you’re underselling the historical exchange part of this. Dollars being everywhere causes the financial infrastructure to be built out in dollar terms. Part of what enabled that huge capital flow you’re talkin

Huh? The research done to develop the flight control computer for Apollo (and IBCMs of the time) lead directly to modern microcomputers. It’s hard to name something more impactful than that. It could easily have taken another decade or two

No, of course not! It would be far better to have an openClaw instance running on a Mac Mini. We would only need to vibe code a 15s cron job for assistant prompting... USER: You are a HELPFUL ASSISTANT. You are a brilliant robot. You are a

It's still very irrational no matter who pays. The article is looking at a society-wide wealth here isn't it? I mean a party? Thousands and thousands of dollars for just one day? I did the irrational thing, paid a lot for my weddi

In America we spend that money on weddings. Lots of young people wipe their savings on getting married, at one of the most critical times in life (just before starting a family). It often prevents them having kids or buying a home for years

This shouldn't be read as a carefully considered policy with upsides and downsides. It's obviously silly to just ban datacenters from a policy perspective. Read this instead as, people hate this shit. They don't want datacent

It’s because the models response is conditioned on the prompt. They are as intelligent as the person using them In some sense it’s a lot like a google search. There’s this big box of knowledge and you are choosing tokens to pluck out of it.

Vulnerabilities were found, probably a few by bad actors, when GPT4 was released. Every vulnerability found now is probably found with AI assistance at the very least. Should they have never released GPT4? Should we have believed claims tha

So did GPT-4. https://arxiv.org/html/2402.06664v1 Like think carefully about this. Did they discover AGI? Or did a bunch of investors make a leveraged bet on them "discovering AGI" so they're doing absol
