Cowardice.
engaging w/ someone is different from discoursing with them. "engagement" is what social media companies say they provide - but really they just offer "discourse".
dunno what "TFA" refers to here, but it seems like we're heading into a argument regarding epistemology, which is not a discussion that HN handles well. IMO "truth" is distraction here because what is at stake here are…
Because there are actually multiple "arenas of discourse" and people will simply switch the "marketplace" they're using. It's technocratic hubris to think that there is just a single such arena and that all the others…
right - like how the stock market behaves nowadays w/ quant traders - which then motivated people to construct darkpools of liquidity where the real trading happens.
No one has ever cared about factual accuracy except for the military. All other social benefits of "facts" trickle-down from there.
The chilling effect may actually be a good thing, given that discourse these days is overheated. There's a weird magic trick that social media companies have played on people to convince them that the text and images…
Tech can start out as an extension, but what people fail to understand is that it can become slowly become autonomous over time, kinda like how a party gets out of control and people start putting holes in walls. I…
all the correct observations about averages aside, quantity!=quality
and we're just soooo much smarter nowadays than we were 1000 years ago...
Seems like this is more about millennials getting old than it is about the internet changing. Especially since it embodies millennial's FOMO + fragile sense of self.
I suppose it makes sense that I'd find sedes on HN, since this place is mostly about hubris.
cool - so AI is gonna dramatically reduce the number of emails that get misunderstood... still gonna still be sending those emails tho.
I think academics are much, much more naive than we like to think. The same trick that pharma played on doctors is being played here. Just because you can do fancy math doesn't mean you understand how to play the game.
It doesn't matter who wrote it, it got picked up, had a good argument and affected market opinion. The execs now need to respond to it. Humans also don't grasp that things can improve exponentially until they stop…
Disagree. What you have in mind is already how the masses interact AI. There is little value-add for making machine translation, auto-correct and video recommendations better. I can think of a myriad of use-cases for AI…
