Given Microsoft invested $1B for an exclusive license of OpenAI's GPT-3 I wouldn't be surprised to see GPT-3 everywhere in all of Microsoft's products and in their acquisitions. Maybe we'll see GPT-3 in LinkedIn as well.

Doesn't it all depend what you want out of life? And is the hard work even guaranteed to provide you what you want out of life? Hard work, desired outcomes, and goals are not in alignment. What's the point of this essay, to convin

So if a family member starts believing they will give birth to puppies, you will instantly give that credibility? How does this follow when irrationality is clearly at an extreme? And what if your father believes in UFOs and your mother doe

Rational thought seems to be a learned process that humans might not even be innately that good at, whereas reflexive / "biased" thought might be more the norm for how our brain operates. We operate more on intuition, reflex,

How would DSM-IV treat this delusion? Not too long ago, those with non-conventional or distored self-views and views of society would be put in mental institutions and treated as mental disorders. I'm referring to the puppy delusion ab

The persistence and spread of psychological delusions explains how extremely irrational ideas such as conspiracy theories, even of them most ludicrous kind, can gain hold and even spread. If some people can believe that a dog bite will make

You should experience what it's like as parents and educators to use Google Meet for school. It's barely usable with massive performance and access issues. Google Meet unfortunately doesn't just work as easily as it should.

There are so many people that conflate AI and machine learning and believe they are one and the same thing. They are not the same thing. Machine learning is a proper subset of AI. Even the best machine learning doesn't embody all of AI

I also don't understand how wealth and income can be conflated like this. We have an income tax, so, no duh, we tax income, not wealth. Criticizing the income tax because it doesn't tax wealth is like criticizing sales tax because
