Okay, maybe I'm wrong, but the article doesn't explain how ChatGPT compares to GPT-3.

Let's take Twitter for example. There's new information coming out that Twitter colluded with the US government to shadow-ban and censor political opponents (including politicians) in the last 4-5 years, without anyone knowing abo

By human nature, anti-social would be anything that's meant to be destructive to, or an attack on "the tribe" or a member of the tribe. So, some examples: - "Orange people are useless." - "Fuck you, you piece o

Not exactly. It's possible to identify anti-social comments. You just have to define what's considered anti-social, either from a human nature perspective or a cultural one. For example, if we go the human nature route, then any c

First of all, don't use ChatGPT for that. Use full GPT-3, specifically the code models (ie. code-davinci-002). ChatGPT is a subset & tweak of the full GPT-3 model to make a good chatbot, and it's actually less capable than the

Nothing particularly interesting outside of AI. But, a lot of interesting new products enabled by the integration of GPT-3, maybe even in the crypto scene. For example, there have always been ideas floating around about creating a blockchai

I'd say it's more like showing up to a masquerade ball in an unexpected outfit. The idea of having a brand name is as a proxy or front for the real product after all, not as a representation of who you are. At Halloween parties, i

I'll put it like this: Before, if you wanted to meet hippies you'd have to go outside and find them - usually in a park or at a concert. Now? Find their Discord. Before, if you ever wanted to be a hippie you'd have to talk

It's not that people only go for theme park rides, they'll also go for "kino" movies. That's why Tarantino can still do it. His movies are all about completely immersing the audience in the movie's world and ma

To me it seems like these people are more interested in power, and the prestige of being an "insider" than anything else. The moral dilemmas are secondary, like fun anecdotes and conversation topics they can interrupt with "w

It's not subjective at all, it's a judgement of whether speech aligns with cooperation or attack as understood in human nature within tribes/communities. Pro-social doesn't mean "positive" or "good" o

Then yeah, that seems totally anti-social and should be shut down.

In what manner were they doing this? ie. were the students making counter-arguments during the course in a civil manner, or were they attacking the professor in an abusive manner? I'm assuming what they did was something like write &qu

I think about it in terms of pro- and anti-social speech. Free speech is about pro-social speech, not anti-social. The way I see it, people conflate the two types of speech. Citizens arguing about ugly topics like identity politics, conspir

Do you think that's a real problem, or a convenient (manufactured/inflated) problem? I'm pretty sure they could simply add to their terms of service "no refunds for crypto purchases" and that'd be understandabl

Yeah, I'll likely update the name later. It doesn't currently really matter though - and it's really difficult to come up with a name for this that isn't lame sounding.

There's literally one project that I've seen being truly useful: https://pooltogether.com/ It's cool because it's not possible to do this without crypto (in terms of trust). But because it uses a smart

Wouldn't crossing these tipping points also accelerate toward more warming? Like the thawing of permafrost in the northern regions would possibly release a huge amount of methane, creating a greater greenhouse gas effect.

Isn't that basically the same as commissioning some art from a digital artist? You could say it's fancy clip art too.

It's much better than clip art. It generates fully bespoke and creative renditions of your ideas. Right now the models are a bit weak, but given a few years this will blow 90% of digital artists out of the water. People won't re-u

There is no data because no one studied it, at least from what I've read. We're pretty sure that multigenerational households lead to less loneliness and less strictly individualistic people than nuclear families, but it's ha

Aren't we way past that? Yes, a nuclear family does worse than a full family (as in multiple generations living together). Can we stop diagnosing the problem ad nauseum? We get it.

That would simply be PR or friendly copy. The implementation of nudge in your example would be to create the "discount" itself to push more people to pay taxes on time. Even then, in your example everyone already understands and a

The chair of behavioral insights advisory in the WHO is one of the co-authors of Nudge Theory. So it's probably safe to say that government health programs - in any country that is supported by the WHO - also implement Nudge to some ex
