Well then it shows that these models are using widely disparate training sets and have high confidence even when they shouldn't. Questions like "is mouthwash effective" presumably has o…

Though perhaps a bit long-winded and emotional, it's charming to see something so sincere still in this era. It's not clear that this individual was fired for being too helpful, but it'…

Title makes it sound like wired is agreeing with this label, but the article shows that wired is actually quite critical of this type of labeling. > Meanwhile, the same intelligence center also cir…

Well the API is over 10x cheaper, so I find it’s much more efficient for personal projects

Based on the number of upvotes I'm getting I think it's you who's really struggling to make a point. I don't think your arguing in good faith and you are getting called out on it b…

For throwing the tea into the harbor. By the way -- Where do you stand on throwing tea into the harbor? And where do you stand on the legitimacy of publicly discussing throwing tea into the harbor?

Kinda like saying "Throwing the British's tea into Boston harbor will only make us subject to harsher terms." The reality is the vast majority of social progress in the last millenium w…

This guy knows exactly what he's talking about. However, it feels more like a "if you know, you know" rather than relaying the experience/data he's accumulated. Let me just sa…

Yeah I'm glad somebody's talking about it. Wealth inequality seems like it will be THE defining issue of our lives (accelerated drastically by AI). I think there are many practical ways to s…

Uh France? It annoys me when people say this stuff is "inevitable." No, many countries have forcibly "reshaped" their government (French revolution, American revolution, etc etc) a…

I'd like to point out that all the graphs only go to 4,000 elements, which is basically non-data. Basically it'd be like measuring which car wins a 1cm race. For small workloads binary searc…

My understanding is that nuclear should have built decades ago, and is probably worth maintaining at this point rather than decommissioning. People got emotional about nuclear. But but solar had a 90%…

I don't think so... I think most of the sci-fi I grew up reading presented AGI that could reason better than humans could, like make a plan and carry it out. Like do people not know what word &qu…

I feel like this is on to something. I remember earlier in my career whenever I hit a really, really hard problem I'd have an instinct to try to stare of into the far distance (especially if ther…

I recommend Wingspan for a wide range of gamers. If you don't have anyone to play with there is a very nice app you can play (steam, ios) with great music, AI, relaxing vibe.

I agree that I have no idea why people read this guy... Like in a "I must be genuinely out of the loop" type way. I feel like it's really romanticizing or fanboying. Like I enjoy my app…

I've lived in a few areas from suburbs to major metropolitan areas. But this isn't about personal anecdotes, it's my understanding that objectively this is established as fact that the …

This manifesto is way off base and I guess I see why it's called "fascist." It seems to be implying that those in government are getting too little scrutiny and that violent crime is …

I've watched plenty of youtube videos, I'm not gonna watch a 10 minute video from somebody I've never heard of and treat is as a good source. It's bad form to post that here multip…

I don't think "material math" applies to things that are huge luxury/status symbol purchases. Otherwise we'd all be driving 2005 corollas. And as status-symbol or identity sta…
