I think we should all feel a little more guilt for gluttonously consuming everything all around us and making such consumption morally defensible under the guise of "just taking care of family"/"living a peaceful life&qu

The modality of the data contains an amount of information comparable to the data itself. Telling ChatGPT that it's hearing music rather than a story would probably help it reason about it a lot. On a lower level, you can't tell C

In today's post-GPT world it's important to recognize the role of embodiment in intelligence as well.

If an employee is given an hour lunch break off campus, and they use it to have sex, the only reason I can understand someone being mad is if they're jealous. Substitute {having sex} with {driving aimlessly} to {eating lunch} and it sh

I don't understand what having sex with your partner has to do with work, unless it's directly interfering with it. In fact it probably makes your work better. I'm going to assume the people complaining about this don't

SQL and XGBoost will solve 95% of your business problems. It's boring but it's true. If you're trying to create the Terminator for real, that's when you start looking at the JAX/TensorFlow/PyTorch docs. I start

Why of course. The coolest monkeys are the ones with the biggest bombs and fastest jets, right. Not the ones who have a knowledge of love so intimate they wrote an entire book just about sex positions. Of course, the aliens that can expend

Some viewpoints are correct.

The word "induction" frames a very specific viewpoint for a mathematician that's different from the specific viewpoint of an electrician. Your argument falls apart if you consider that people can have different viewpoints. Al

I think it depends. To me bad actor seems more like a technical term than a moral one. I can see how it's easy to pass judgment on people described literally as "bad" in some way, but only if I'm unprofessionally intertw

I don't think it's mutually exclusive. You can deny chainsaws to bad actors while also trying to reduce the number of bad actors compassionately and nonviolently. In the drug war analogy, maybe decriminalize possession but heavily

by mxkopy 3y ago
At the level of randoms with chainsaws, my first thought is to treat it as a drug production problem. Treat chainsaws like methamphetamine precursors.

I mean the analogy is especially apt here. The average person literally can't care about a large scale nuclear war. Their truth table has only the options "live normally" and "die". In the same vein misanthropic AGI

Confounding enshittification with people daring to express negativty in 'echelon's internet' is lacking empathy. Platform creep is a problem. People looking for validity in their emotions is not. Anyone who says the internet,

No, the internet is not for you. It's used by billions of people around the planet. What I'm hearing is basically "the poors are making too much noise for my liking." Well, prepare to get eaten I guess.

Nobody is forcing you to use social media. If you don't want to see something you don't have to. On the flip side you should consider that some people like the affirmation and validity they get out of hearing stories similar to th

You choose to believe a more convenient truth. I don't think I could say anything to convince you that things aren't always getting better and that every step we take isn't objectively forward facing. Case in point you just s

It's cliche but metrics aren't the truth. Being in perpetual debt and living a hollow life is a much smaller improvement over being homeless than these percentages imply IMO. I'd be more interested in historical data wrt to o

Not everything has to be nuanced. Some people want everyone to know being trans is a possibility, and some people don't. It's really cut-and-dry.
