Why should drivers have first place? NYC is a city . It has 8 million people. There is no room for private cars. Where is the moped lane? Why is there only one bike lane? Every avenue should have two full-sized bike lanes (the same siz

A working man can still support a family of five, buy a house, a car and a vacation once or twice a year. He just needs to be realistic. House: you can still find houses with plenty of room for ~$100k. It just needs to be in an affordable

Maybe, but I think the main impact of these alignment efforts will be to create puritan output.

Yes, but a more important function of debate in school is to expose people to new ideas and to question assumptions. Unfortunately, debates are often structured in a way that forces students to accept some ideas and prevents them from expr

I don't understand this attitude. If your code is used to train AI, then it would be used to help more people in a wider variety of contexts. So assuming that your goal is to help people (which I assume it is since SO doesn't pa

There's no need to use the likeness of current actors. Actors need a unique combination of assets: they need to have the right looks, the right voice and the right skills. That makes them expensive. But with AI, we can combine one per

I think you're massively underestimating how difficult it is to allocate capital and execute business plans. When a normal person gets a lot of money (like by winning the lottery) they do not become like Elon or Bezos. A third of lott

I agree to a point, but the way we talk about this seems very conservative. If someone develops a negative perspective towards their current situation, is that a bad thing? My interpretation is that social media use leads to ambition and r

I don't agree about the lower levels doing all the work. People in the lower echelons usually don't understand what their product is for, how it works, who uses it or how it fits into their company's overall business strategy

The 100M stat means nothing to me because of integration with Instagram. It's not like they cultivated an audience of 100M people in 5 days. Suppose Instagram added the ability to create text threads in addition to photos, except they

What "good looking" means might vary somewhat from person to person, but it's not completely subjective. Some people look better than others, which makes them more desirable partners in general.

I was just about to comment something similar to this: "Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a 60 minutes interview, 'one Google AI program adapted on its own after it was prompted in the language of Bangladesh, which it was not train

Is there actually a problem though? Affordable education exists. You can get a bachelor's in Computer Science from WGU for a couple thousand. Georgia Tech offers an online MSCS for about $1k per month. These programs are scalable and

It doesn't have to be a fight. If you want to work remotely, apply for remote jobs at remote companies. There is no need to negotiate or bargain or convince anyone of anything.

Define "reality." Human experience consists of more than language, for sure. There is also a visual, audible and and tactile component. But GPT-4 can also take visual inputs from my understanding, and it shouldn't be diffic

>Do you think you'd get away with training an AI on a bunch of animated Disney movies Yes. Creating a new animation that is inspired by Disney's style is clearly fair use. Otherwise Studio Ghibli would be in trouble.

Yes, generalization is creativity. I don't think there's a difference between the two concepts. Humans don't come up with ideas out of nowhere. Open a novel and you will find that even though the overall work is unique, it

Step 1 is to get rid of the idea that some people are "criminals" who you shouldn't be interacting with. Over half of Americans have used illicit drugs. Chances are, someone you already know can hook you up with psychedelics

I take issue with the idea that diversity is about things like skin color and gender. Even if a group is all of the same race, gender, language, income and nationality, they can still be incredibly diverse when it comes to their views and

After the 5-10 hours a week when you are "in the zone" you start borrowing time. It's possible to sustain productivity for significantly longer than that, but it comes at the expense of rest, which leads to burnout. When you

Platforms like reddit are in no way similar to personal property like a house that you live in. A better analogy would be, imagine you rent your house to someone else . You make a rule that tenants may display political messages in their

Violent crime might be rare, but unpleasant interactions with strangers are common. Panhandling, for example, can make people feel unsafe. You can never be sure how a person will react if you say no. It's illegal to panhandle on the

The problem is what they are removing. I'm ok with cleaning up blatant commercial spam and illegal content, but they seem to be removing comments from people who are just expressing their opinion. Not a good sign

Subsiding parenthood is far worse than subsidizing laziness. The opposite would be better: give financial support to people only if they agree not to waste that money on kids they can't afford to have.

Middle class people already have the equivalent of UBI from their families. Not only do they still work, they are more productive and pay more taxes than people without that support. My parents provided me with free housing and food for ov

The second seems inevitable from the first. Crypto was when people discovered the massive computational power of GPUs, and AI is when people figured out how to direct this power to do useful work.
