Are you gonna police the means through which I'm browsing the internet? If you want to, you are free to put your stuff behind the paywall and give the key only to people who agree to obey your conditions. If you put it in the open you

Human literature won't be completely replaced, same way photography and print didn't replace painting. They just outgrew it billion times (in volmue at least) and the humanity is richer for it.

Nobody even started to seriously write books using AI. But at one point there will be AI books on "most read" lists. And a more than one of those will have readership higher than anything by John Scalzi. And he's not bad, I l

If you press the button on a camera, you are not a painter. Don't worry, there's still room for paintings in human culture, even though photos outnumber them billion to one.

Common sense is the sense of commoners. The entirity of science if a fight against common sense. In Poland the closest phrase to "common sense" is "na chłopski rozum" which means "according to villager's mind&#

Who had historically the most taste? The rich or the poor? And who had the worst taste? The people who grew up in poverty mindset that got rich. These are widely shared, common cultural observations. You need a long term, persistent abundan

I once cooked a steak by throwing it into a auto-rotating 45deg pivoted induction cooking pot for random amount of time with some olive oil, sweet paprika, black pepper and rosemary. It even cooked with a lid on because it was flopping arou

It's only because you'd rather believe that you are being lied to than mistaken.

If you are waiting for someone else to make a good product for you with AI, you are missing out. The best AI products have userbase of one.

Absolutely not. Scarcity forces you to do with what you have. Only in abundance, only when you can have everything, you have room and reason to develop taste.

I think security is going to get devalued in the near future. The safest strategy is going to be to need as little as possible of the stuff that you need to keep secret. And you won't keep that stuff on a device that is shared in any m

The entirety of our understanding of reality we owe to lossy transformations. Also called modelling.

I feel like LLMs refers to a model that for a given message responds with its own message. And I feel like AI agents (powered by some LLM) are qualitatively something else.

You almost can't give a correct answer to a task with expected wrong answer unless you know it expects wrong answer. ... maybe on a yes/no question by chance. But as you become more knowledgeable, the probability that you give wro

Some time ago it occurred to me that you can't just spend extreme amounts of money. You can only lose it by gambling. In a casino, on investment or on business, it doesn't matter.

Even on very small tests a fraction of questions might have wrong answers in the key. If models can't get more than 90% of the benchmark right I think it's a strong indication that they were not trained on the answers and that ben

I was shocked that in Italy pretty much no one used turn indicators (except buses and taxis), drivers where kinda trying to sus out where everyone is going and this was causing speed adjustments that made the whole thing not that unsafe.

On a more serious note, if you prefer more flexibility and wildness try Poland. Very culturally similar to Germany but with more lean towards common sense however it is understood in the moment by involved parties.
