Here's a very unbaked thought, sparked by your question: a huge amount of organisms of varying sizes can parse and react to visual representation, but the amount of organisms that can handle any kind of language is much smaller.

Externalities are hard to move fast on because you just can't get the populace excited by charging more for something, over time or suddenly. E.g. cheap fuel - good luck getting that past anyone without being thrown out of office. The

After the GFC I thought the smart move was to generate a massive renewable industry, Manhattan project style. Growth, new jobs, energy independence, a new direction and possibly dominance in renewables. There are probably reasons why it was

Outcomes aren't binary. You can burn a few factories and many will escape but the vast majority of humans will want to get on with life and rebuild the jobs they had. "It's been two years of no work and little food. China off

Sorry, I'm unsure what you mean. AI isn't required to save you time, you just need to save time. Automation is the key, this is just adding more ways to come up with what/how to automate.

Hugo is great but the learning curve is madness. I've used it twice with a couple years in-between, and succeeded, but it's very annoying to have 1-3 hours of failure before you see anything useful. Add theme, follow tutorial, so

I think the measure of this would be "would this make me more than $9 a month more efficient" and "is there any alternative that is a better cost/benefit", i.e. a free tool that is mostly as good. For you it might

That sounds like a hell hole. I’d throw my sim away.

They have many. In a lot of cases the original creator of the company stays on to run it, which would be extremely weird if they were forced into the situation. Why would you force someone into a bad situation and then let them run your new

Maybe the answer is a repeated game over time. We might learn the deep wisdom/artistry inherent in the model, or we might learn its limitations. Einstein didn’t arrive and emit one sentence. Dali didn’t just draw once picture. It’s har

Very hard question to really answer. If Einstein said the sentences “are you sure? think about it”, you might spend years pondering what he meant. If GPT does you’ll ignore it. Same output but the context plus content will change what you d

OpenAI has had huge mindshare with students recently. Every (ish) kid who writes an essay or needs information summarised is hitting ChatGPT. Kids are where change happens, ask Facebook. They get on new things instantly - within days we wer

There’s another SA snake called the black mamba. Cool name, up to 14ft long and up to 12.5mph top speed.

Because ChatGPT isn’t fully baked yet. You can get it to say the stupidest stuff, which is perfect for a research release with somewhat sophisticated users but when it’s “how granny gets information” is when the lawyers get excited. It does

It’s obviously ludicrous and I can’t remember the specifics except it seemed very different from my efforts at crimping a cable. A brief search alerts me to the presence of Cat 6A to Cat 8 shielded pass-through design with triple prong gold

And therefore the future affects the past. And light only ever gets emitted when there is a receiver to absorb it.

The mere physical implications are astounding but don’t seem to be fully embraced. A photon that left a billion years ago connects the source and destination. They’re basically touching each other. Shortest distance between entangled photon

I was going to put this as mine. It’s astounding how important this is. I woke up at 2am with the intuition that light was like a lightning strike across spacetime, with no time and no distance between the emitter and absorber. Why and how,

In OO, the interface. It seemed like the most useless construct. Zero implementation. Why make something with no implementation? Later I realised that the benefit isn’t the code, it’s the freedom you gain later in choosing the implementatio
