Hah all cool. Tamil is a hard language. I have both Tamil parents and my mum failed so badly at Tamil in school- she insisted that I take Hindi in school. But none of us speak it, so I can read and write Hindi but can’t speak it well. I spe

Hah! I grew up pronouncing it “nyu-clear”. Two syllables.

I apologise, I didn’t mean to single us out. I’m a native Tamil speaking Indian raised in Chennai. I used to make the v w switch as a child and someone corrected me. Ever since then, I notice others making it and considered it peculiar and

I’m not American, but I after living here - I’ve noticed a few. They sometimes say “axe” for “ask”. They fail to enunciate “respiratory” fully - they say “res-pah-tory”. Also, they fail to pronounce the f in fifth - like they say fith. Cert

On another note - Indians often switch the w’s and v’s. I don’t know why. If you’re Indian - try pronouncing victory, whisky, and wonderful.

Point taken. But surely there must be a way to account for that. Can we assume if the net asset value of the individual is greater than the value of the house by some percentage? Then they are owners instead of renters.

Actually I don't think this metric goes far enough. In my opinion a homeowner should "own" their home. I.e should have majority equity in his or her home. An owner who pays 3% down is basically a risk bearer for the bank. The

Ah I see what is being described here is a way for ai to derive ethical behaviour acceptable to us by its own. Seemingly just the complex manifestation of a simple rule such as “I do this because I don’t want see myself suffer, and not only

I think i understand but not clearly. Your making a point that ai’s reality is drawn as a statistical mean of all human knowledge and safety should be derived not from these means. You don’t need to re-derive universal values for ai at all.

Or rather another way I concluded it is - we might have a very narrow idea of the ways in which ai can be harmful. We still worry about the job losses, etc. regardless of how we organize ourselves in society, a super intelligent ai could ea

by tndibona 6mo ago
The first conclusion is just a product of my thoughts in the morning shower that’s all. It goes like this. Supreme intelligence can’t be programmed to serve the less intelligent. Which is what we’re trying to do with AI. Basically we’re try

Oh, I agree with what you’re saying and that’s sort of how I mostly use AI as well. The problem I have with my company is they’ve stepped from measuring success by the outcomes to measuring the means to achieve it. My opinion is - It forces

I just had what you might probably describe as the opposite experience. I was sat at a very important all hands meeting by our senior tech leader with about 100 people or so .who was mandating an AI goal for every employee on workday, he ba

What else do you do to make rent ? I feel the same way as you and I have no idea what else pays well for quality craftsmanship. I am staring at the abyss of hyper intelligent people with posh resumes and now wondering what to do.

So if I take both your points - 1. Google will have to eat it's own lunch in order to force this change. 2. They will also have to skim down their Ad space as there will just be less content real estate to place ads when the way forwa

Yep. This SEO industry is a result of "Lets hack the pagerank algorithm". Maybe a sensible use of AI for google would be to use it to differentiate between genuine and derivative content. Drop the page rank based search.

Yes, this is true that all the click bait and unoriginal content deserves to perish. But, what about the carve outs for people putting money on original content. Like perhaps a local news gazette with paid journalists. They need google to b

I see your point, data is no good without actions and vice versa. Initially, I thought google couldn't possibly compete with perplexity because they are building a company from the ground up sans the surveillance ad-network. If you ski

My personal opinion. Google sees the writing on the wall with the rise of perplexity. People want trustable summaries of long winding content to make decisions. It’s business of sending people to the relevant content and serving ads has to

While I agree that LLMs cannot replace humans and that a job cannot simply be reduced to a bunch of LLM tasks, they definitely do accelerate a human’s potential to do more tasks efficiently. This is the key for the capitalists to exploit. F
