It won't work. I mean, not necessarily at individual level, but at the global level. We need to take care of things as they are, not as we wish them to be. It would be better if people in poor, warm places have less kids than people in

From what I see, this person loves structured research. I guess if he were on fire, he wouldn't notice, before there is a peer-reviewed research on that. (You can extrapolate.) He tries to be persuasive by giving an example of that the

Actually, I am underwhelmed. I mean, a decade ago, with WAY simpler machine learning algorithms (no fancy deep learning, just shallow singular value decomposition and logistic regression, https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.107

I dislike the term AGI, as intelligence (of any type) always involves tradeoffs. Being exceptional at solving 2D grid-based pattern tasks is just one skill. Humans have a strong visual bias, while some hypothetical superintelligent slime mo

It is not a flaw. It is a tool that can be used in various ways. It is like saying "I was told that with Python I can make a website, I downloaded Python - they lied, I have no website". Basic prompts are "you are a helpful a

When I think about it again, it is less about one's absolute knowledge of psychology, and more about (as you said) knowing one's own ignorance and having some mental model of an LLM. One model I have found useful to communicate is

Well, in my experience (I admit, I am a difficult client), it is much harder to prompt that way a therapist. I mean, they need (ethically, legally, etc) adhere strongly to "better safe that sorry", which also gives constraints on

I know these techniques (e.g. various "cold reading"), AI knows it way better. But it can be much more specific. Again, for untrained people (especially every single one that takes horoscopes seriously), it can be dangerous as the

I won't share any of my examples, as there are both personal and sensitive. Very easy version: If you use ChatGPT a lot, write "Base on all you know about me, write an insight on me that I would be surprised by". For me it wa

Any chance it would work for pages like Facebook or LinkedIn? I would love to have a distraction-free way of searching information there. Obviously, against wishes of these social networks, which want us to be addicted... I mean, engaged.

Thank you for sharing! However, you both ask about colors and use color for confirmation. This unfortunately is both confusing and makes a not nice overlap of one modality used for two things. Quick solution: just use the correct color. Use

Well, AI (understood as LLM chats) are yes-men, precisely because they were RLHFed to to be so. If you train AI to be super skeptical, it will be so. But most people don't prefer to talk with a yes-person than a negative, inquisitive d
