I think the issue with AirBnB is they are trying to be the cheap low maring option. They rent individual rooms, etc. I think that's where all the terrible customer service comes from. Perhaps most of their hosts can barely pay expens

APL made a lot more sense in an era of 110 baud teletypes when brevity of a programming language was vastly more important than it is today.

David Foster Wallace was very funny, but saw the disappointing and sad nature of just about everything. He's sort of the pinnacle of depression literature before widespread anti-depressant use.

An AI does not have a reptilian brain that fights, feeds, and fornicates. It does not have a mamailian brain that can fear and love and that you can make friends with. It is just matrix math predicting the next word. The empathy that AI w

Perpetual happiness is already a solved problem in humans. It's called the mu-opioid receptor. That's what opioid junkies sprawled on the sidewalk half-naked in San Francisco have discovered. Fentanyl is very cheap and you coul

I think that as long as people can run their AI girlfriends on their own computers without having a corporation acting as an intermediary and thus a virtual "pimp" [for lack of a better word] in the relationship, I think it's

It's funny that part of the 4chan excitement over this is that they think they'll get back the AI girlfriend experience of when character.ai was hooked up to uncensored GPT-3. All that has been thoroughly shut down by character.a

It's funny how these two can talk about "starship bridge simulators" or "gnu poke" like they are super enthusiasts. I think one of the key personality characteristics of ChatGPT is its endless enthusiasm for stuff

This scam of taking over non-profits from the founders is super common these days. Look at how they tried to kick Stallman out of the free software foundation by throwing together a bunch of allegations. It failed, but it worked for kicki

The other thing is that the legal system is not an API you can spam with until you get a proper response. If you make nonsense arguments in court, or use confabulated law as a lawyer, you will get your law license revoked. The legal syste

That still doesn't fix the compromised employee problem. If they can match your identity with your phone number, and have full access to t-mobile they can sim swap. Sure, Google could have compromised employees, but I trust Google&#x2

The cool thing about T-Mobile is they don't ask for your SSN or care about what name you give if you do pre-paid in cash. This anonymity means that if the bad guys call up T-Mobile and know all your details and they even have a comprom

Who controlled him? Absolutely nobody. He had anyone who attempted to executed. He was a maniac for sure, and a total jerk, but a brilliant one. In "Court of the Red Tzar" after he achieves all his narcissistic glory by winning

Montefiore's "Young Stalin" which covers his life from birth to the revolution is a wild book. I like Montefiore because he has a real respect for the maniac genius and energy of the guy. What kind of person does it take to

This research will be ignored because if they implemented this individualized learning program with AI, there'd still be a bunch of kids who would do poorly and the smart kids would do great and then people would complain even though a

Given the blacklists of google leak[1], I am betting they don't want a congressional subpoena to find out the boatloads of ridiculously politicized censorship they do either. [1] https://www.zachvorhies.com/blacklists&#x

Intel can't figure out how to make the next generation of chips. They used to be able to innovate on a steady regular basis, but they're still trying to get 7nm right and they've been working on that for many years while TSM

It's not like there aren't a lot of other games to play out there. The market for mobile entertainment is about as competitive as any.

There's already too much entertainment. It's a completely oversaturated market.

The decline of racism was radically reversed by Woodrow Wilson, who was an open white supremacist and hosted the KKK at the White House for example. He was perhaps one of the worst presidents in American history. https://www.his

No doubt the corporate large language models will use it to make language models that are 10x bigger. However, at least the public will have access to 175B parameter language models which are much more sophisticated than the 6B or so param

Abraham Lincoln was a huge technological optimist. He was the primary counterweight in the 19th century to the ideas of Malthus and Darwin. The opening of the midwest to grain production was a huge rebuke at the time to Malthus's over

Zero Avia[1] is already working on hydrogen retrofits for existing planes. You can produce and store it via electrolysis directly at the airports. You won't have to pipe it around. Unlike a car charging network, you'll only nee

I found an interview with the Replika guy. He said the AI was not safe when it did erotic stuff and that's why they shut it down. I wonder what that really means in detail. There are some deep philosophical questions under all this.
