This is an absurd delusion of efficiency. More like things atrophy when not needed and then one day fuck.... "We didn't realize there was a cyclical component to this process"

It is because what you view as normal is backwards. Free speech is the far from equilibrium state. The normal state is that when you talk shit about the rulers, the rulers put you in a cage. We are just returning to equilibrium. The marketp

It is hysterical to me people think this. It is just because you are not accounting for all the people trying this and failing. By definition, no one is watching all the youtube videos that only get 50 views per episode of a podcast. It isn

This is obviously true. You just don't see all the people that are getting 50 views per video. It is really just a type of more dispersed state lottery game without the state involved.

I think the problem is there is an entire class of people with bullshit degrees who think themselves far more intelligent and educated than they are in reality. It would be interesting to see what the results of a poll would be among colleg

People have a delusional, religious type faith in their own doctor. It is perfectly understandable given the context. The average person has no idea what iatrogenesis is. Even if you try to explain this concept, the average person doesn&#x2

I find the entire idea to be ridiculous. The idea that we can measure "better" in the response between "please" x and x, is total nonsense. On the other hand, it would be trivial to setup a pseudoscientific experiment to

This has nothing to do with reality other than the N=1 sample of your grandparents. How can anyone believe this is beyond me. The entire line of thought is just so utterly clueless. If you go back 50 years the average person worked a mindle

There is no evidence. This entire line of thought is really stupid when chatGPT itself will tell you it doesn't understand the responses it gives. Try the prompt in chatGPT4 "Can you explain to a human how you don't understan

We don't need evidence anymore. We are just so fucking brilliant collectively we could never be fooled by nature again!

Climate change + a massive waste of resources in general if all this ends up being good for is text summaries and cat pictures. Even automated text summaries and cat movies doesn't cut it.

I have had about the same number. Of course there have been things that are fun and interesting but I don't drone on about it, pretending it is like I am getting paid to drink at a bar and flirt.

Why would anyone be surprised by this when a meaningful % of children basically did nothing for 2 years during COVID. I forget what city it was but there was a meaningful % of children who didn't log in at all during covid. They didn&#

Totally agree. I am blown away by that image. Midjourney is so bad at anything specific. On the other hand, SD has just not been on the level of the quality of images I get from Midjourney. The people who counter this I don't think kno

Totally agree. We are social creatures. The only way I would be able to completely stop would be to hang out more at a local bar. I already go to the gym as much as my body can recover from. At least with HN there is the possibility of some

No, this is just completely wrong and ridiculous. People did this all the time until txting was common. Once txt was common there was no reason to just drop by someone's place randomly without giving them a heads up.

We figured this out a long time ago. People are just bored and addicted to drama.

Murray Gell-Mann said exactly this. He basically got tired of working with him because everything about his personality was to generate stories and mythologies about himself. To me, this whole idea shows what a fool the average man is. As i

I have never met a losing poker player. It is always the same story. Do you know how you can tell everyone is largely full of shit when it comes to poker? No one ever talks about the rake. They are a winning player no matter what the rake a

There is this whole section in the 10-k about government regulation too. Some of that has to be causing growth deceleration vs what it could be. Given what we currently know, it is hard to say this valuation is irrational or crazy as some a

I think it is much worse than this. I think of my 12 year old niece. She doesn't have a concept of privacy the way I have a concept of privacy. It would never occur to me to film someone in public without their consent for privacy reas

The comical thing to me is when I search, I can't even find the video in question.

I would be surprised that is not the system prompt based on experience. It is also why I don't feel the responses it gives me are censored. I have it teach me interesting things as opposed to probing it for bullshit to screen cap respo

I don't have a degree and it has not mattered in a long time. On an interview, I don't even get enough time to get into all my professional experience at this point. Of course, I am not applying for something that would need a PhD

It doesn't make sense when the major health problem in the US is obesity. Always these childish and clueless economic takes on this board.

I will reserve judgement on Sora until I actually get to use it. Anything less than Midjourney for video will be hugely disappointing. I still love chatGPT but my use is so limited compared to what it was 9 months ago. Then I think about ho

It is a joke now compared to what it was. There are entire parts of the music industry that no longer exists. There use to be working musicians in every city that were basically unknown outside the city. NYC or SF had their own entirely uni

I think many are just delusional. For me, the risk/reward of 9-5 is so much better than going into business for myself that it isn't even close. The utility of a 10x-100x increase in the payoff over 9-5 is just not worth the sure

Imagine what this would do for the climate too if people who were looking at lower end gas powered models could save $5k with buying a $12,500 EV. The decision would be made for them. What we have done with subsiding expensive status symbol

To me, there is just a class of people who are simply out of touch with reality. While I could afford the monthly payment on a $41k car, I would never do that when I would be starting my comparison with a $16k Nissan Versa. Then on top of t
