I find this question fascinating and my instinct is kinda yes, but no. I'm very curious what this google AI engineer's experience was like, and maybe the internal models were way less tuned or focused then the models we get, but

I assume Larry Ellison is not a dumb guy but did he just like turn 80 and figure “fuck it, you can’t take it with you?” These don’t seem like the moves of a guy who dominated the business world for the past what, 60 years?

Is it just me or does this feel like 2 five year olds arguing over whose mom is better “my mom killed a mouse in the basement last night”. “Yeah, well my mom killed 3 mice!”

The whole Cracker Barrel fiasco absolutely fascinated me and I think is a strange microcosm of the weirdness of American politics. What fascinated me about Cracker Barrel is - it’s not that I can’t see why people think Cracker Barrel is cod

Yes, I think that the shift from a more training oriented system to a more research oriented system started the shift that goes back o the fifties. The imbalance may have created more hostility leading to a feedback loop, but the core reas

I honestly don’t think you can prove directionality here. I 100% believe the country has gone too far in discounting traditional/conservative values. (On both the left and right, but I digress) And I think this divide is unhealthy for

I’m not even sure I disagree with the argument, but this feels like a classical “DEI” argument FIRE would be skeptical of because it’s politically convenient. What if there’s just something about academics (and I do actually think this is t

For sure I think part of the problem would be my suspicion of how these tools are being trained. If they’re hiring conservative philosophers to weight the value of tacit knowledge, then great. But if they’re just mashing the “only two gen

Grok is described as one of the less accurate LLMs. I wonder if it is possible to both be politically “unbiased” and maximally truth seeking. I’ve been going down a bit of a conservative philosophical rabbit holes lately — and while conser

The greatest tech companies haven’t let the government dictate their ambitions toward disruption. The resignation described by the flock CEO suggests to me maybe he doesn’t have the right mindset for success?
