I vote extreme, but it should be XI instead EI for eXtreme.

1. Read through the original post. It sounds bad. Shame on you Google. 2. If you think tech workers center their stock options when they make hacker news replies, you just haven’t talked to enough tech workers. I promise you my strateg

The entirety of human knowledge is about defining rules by which we can categorize thing A vs thing B. I think we can determine the difference between Facebook and HN.

“ But all the internet enabled is just more people talking to each other about what's on their mind. ” Isn’t one of the big complaints about social media that only like 1% or .1% of users get promoted? I think the problem is your last

I can agree with this. And I’m not sure how these bans are scoped but maybe they should be scoped specifically around algorithmic feeds. The biggest problem to me isn’t the content or posting on a friends timeline. It’s that choices are p

I think the difference about the social media moral panic if you want to call it that is it’s about form not content. I think there are plenty of adults who think maybe there are certain types of social media patterns that should be banned

“ But less than a year in, it suggests the ban is failing: A state-sponsored survey of parents indicated that seven in 10 teens are still using social media, while academic research has reported even lower rates of compliance.” Failure? Or

Yeah, I think part of it is - I want LLM's to do I think what they're promising to do which is like provide new perspectives on things. But they're response is kinda always. "Python? Have you considered that some people

One of the I dunno, weird things about LLMs, is that their search space feels exceptionally constrained. I'm sure I can sort of prompt it to try to give the answer I want but some people talk about "I don't want an LLM with a

This seems like one of those things that prior to AI companies convincing us otherwise would have been obvious. Least privilege and say only opening ports or installing applications an application needs to operate are extremely standard sec

The model I’m circling around is - I think in some ways we talk about Silicon Valley leaders in this like objective points based system. Elon musk being a trillionaire must have the highest IQ, maybe Steve Jobs was second highest, Dario Am

I mean for sure I don’t think Dario, Elon, Altman or anybody talking about a slowdown is suggesting they don’t want to overhaul society. They just want to avoid the guillotine while they do it. And in their defense - I do think they honestl

My read of Dario’s post was very much like, slow down from 90% throttle to 75-85%, not 25-50%. I don’t think it looks like that much from the outside. A direct quote: “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI model

Actually the second part was my argument. But gestures everywhere isn’t a bad backup. look I admit a sort of charming romance in the idea Of a stricter more conservative education system, I just don’t think the data supports such simple re

I feel like the contra answer to “how do you enforce it” is like- imperfectly but we can do stuff. Like we can just do stuff. We can fine companies, take away licenses. We are capable! But I also think - I’m not trying to be too negative

I think it’s safe to err on the side of AI not assassinating people whoever they are. A person can decide. We’re not trying to accurately define all of the nuances of society, just what we let AI do. We can round down

We could always start with “murder is wrong” and “don’t hack into a rival company” and work our way up from there. Somehow I think if these companies were held financially responsible for what their AI did, we would get alignment real fast.

China is distilling our models aren't they? I’m not saying China is zero risk, but I am saying that America seems particularly skilled at putting our enemies on this idealized pedestal to justify whatever we’re trying to justify.

I think I theorize like - a big assumption is AI either leads to fast take off or it moderately helps us but hits a ceiling. I wonder if a third option is - AI actually slows down progress because - a thing I observe at work is the hard pro

“if you needed to repeat a year of school, you just did. It felt harsh in the moment but looking back oh boy it was the correct thing to do.” Was it really? My read of the research is its mixed at best, and most effective at younger grades

Is AI bad for mental health? lol If so, should companies also ban them to prevent burnout of their employees? No, capitalism must be fed.

I actually think this is wrong but for depressing reasons. America is not going to end up convincing Americans Trumpism is wrong. Trump is going to die. I think for a lot of things, basically macro factors have more to say than your philos

It’s presumptuous of you to claim to know someone’s inner motivations which ever direction you’re trying to take it.
