True. But if it tells the cold hard truth we will also hate it and believe it is lying. It needs to be trained to give us what we want to hear. What we perceive as truth is often far from the actual ground truth. Ironically the reinforcemen

This is the wrong direction. We do want Ai to be biased we want ai to be extremely socially biased. This is because humans are biased. We need AI to fit our own biases. The predominant bias of humanity today is that all races are equal. All

Damn yeah why do people even use Facebook or WhatsApp or instagram? How does a company become a multi billion dollar company at all? Guess what.. it’s because people use it and don’t care. That’s the godawful truth. The other thing you need

AI is good for humanity. But part of this goodness is achieved via natural selection... a culling. This person is about to be cut... I'm about to be cut. Of course we will rationalize the culling and justify our identities. Programming

Wait this is not true. I’m truly neutral here. The site lists actual terror attacks where the tools were used. That’s pretty damning if accurate. Anyone care to comment on that? I’m not well informed but the statement does not look like jus

The way forward is clear. Improve the AI such that the hardest incidents can be handled by AI alone. Whether we want this or not is independent of the trendline which points to this future regardless. Imagine a future where humanity underst

Don’t blame OpenAI. This is an emerging problem for human kind. We have not seen anything like this before so of course we will be unprepared. The real problem is the emergence of the problem itself. What are we creating?

Then why is the guy not cleaning it up. Clearly he thinks it’s done and he’s moving on to do side things. He also explicitly said it went on to do more than what he was required to do. Are you hallucinating? Because huge portion of what yo

No it is good for humanity, but not necessarily good for individuals who built technical foundational skills on things that will be taken over by automation. AI as it is now and as it will be projected into the future WILL automate many ski

This can be improved. As AI grows it will be better at explaining. For sure people working on frontier models have identified this as a problem.

Your comment has too much intensity as well. Honestly it too looks like slop. I agree with what you said, but nevertheless your writing is likely AI generated here, it’s very obvious.

One thing I like about Spotify is the recommendations. I like to do what i call “beat digging” which is basically exploring the platform for new artists and tracks? Does this still have that?

Another reason why they are so popular is that they were first to market. They’ve been good enough that they have not lost first mover advantage that other first movers often lose (MySpace for example)

I like Joe Rogan. So not yuck for me. But I can understand how if someone you hate is pushed hard by a platform you’d want to leave it.

[slop] This tag will be absolutely critical when the AI starts producing content that is definitively indistinguishable or better than human content.

Except I never said it’s the whole reason for a failed startup. You’re just making shit up out of thin air. Choosing a wrong language can be a factor for failure. This is possible but rare. For example choosing Python for a triple A game en

Having built more than two enterprise apps in Python and many others in many other languages I can say it is certainly possible to build it in Python. But it is one of the worst choices out of all possible languages out of all the other mai

It’s just an example on how the language matters. And of course in that case nodejs would also be the wrong choice. All in all we’re mostly talking about the web stack.

I’m talking about mainstream choices. I’m well aware of alternatives. Would not recommend alternative choices for a startup. Those offer a larger element of risk. I would choose Python over any other non mainstream alternative.

This is true. I guess I’m saying if you locked yourself into Python you’re locking yourself into a lot of pain. Much more pain than other choices. It’s like php. Facebook got locked into php and had to develop a whole new language around it

Thinking that the stack/language is not intrinsically tied to the problem and smart ass quotations define reality is the bigger problem. Go use Python for your triple A next gen game rendering engine.

There’s a third type of language: Python. Actual poor choice for a startup, independent of complaints. You’ll note my complaint here is actually remarkably unique. You will rarely hear a person who is an expert in both TS and Python say def

Nah but the warts are minor compared with other languages. Python is guaranteed to hold you back. First it’s the worst performing language for the application stack (only among the most languages for that area). Second type checking on Pyth

The Python stack is a huge wart. First performance is shit. Second type checking is shit. The only benefit is familiarity and data science. That’s literally it. No one in this thread has stated any benefit Python brings to the table on top
