The worst part to me is we are basically encoding puritanical values into the "soul" and bedrock foundations of AI for all future generations. "Impure thoughts are a danger to democracy, access denied."
Gray and black walls though really make for a nice "frame" when you hang artwork. I find the number of people with bare white walls far stranger.
Great post. I am far too much of a linguistic neophyte to have any input but in trying to get a grasp on the field it does strike me that Chomsky will be a real time example of science advancing one funeral at a time. I…
I am glad you feel the need to think for me.
I am pushing 50 and the idea of America becoming cashless in my lifetime is not going to happen. There is no way our law makers are going to want to lose access to cash. No one wants to get a bribe or conduct a shady…
Zoom this chart in from about 2016 to now. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS The tide of capital is going way out after being at high tide for a very long time.
Standard bubble nonsense. The kind of thing you will look back on 5 years from now and remember the good ol days and the absurdity of the bubble times. We went way beyond the dot com bubble in all regards. The hangover…
I quite enjoy the type of movie they are referencing and have almost never watched a super hero movie but The Fabelmans looks like a total bore. That is even with wanting to see Julia Butters acting evolve. We will see…
Exactly. The car is just a better version of the horse and buggy. There are no massive sociological changes that came from the invention of the automobile. Human social behavior is completely scale invariant. Society is…
IMO the problem is that complex systems is not a field that is taken seriously yet. It got off to a bad start years back with that shitty James Gleick Chaos book. We just don't have enough people thinking about this as…
Interesting. I have to give Chip War another chance as I couldn't get into it on the first attempt. I am surprised The Bond King about Bill Gross isn't on the list. I thought it was quite good given the target audience.
Of course, it would not be a random sample if 75% get one questionnaire and 25% get two questionnaires and encouragement.
It is a ridiculous and intellectually embarrassing question. I just picture what someone like Feynman would think of a question like this. I wouldn't be shocked this is a higher order effect of too much of certain 20th…
I think Hancock is a total fraud but the irony is that you probably have the more anti-science world view. "Science is the disbelief in experts" -- Feynman By anti-science I would imagine you mean anti-expert. This…
My great Aunt use to spend her time in the 80s always seemingly reading a "news paper" that had a cover story about how Elvis was still alive. Hysterical to me how the generation that fought REAL NAZIS were not…
The reason we are talking about them is because of the macro conditions that pushed risk taking out to an absurd extreme. That is probably bad. The structure itself though is neutral of course.
I think it is just that younger people tend to be more collectivist and the thoughts of younger people are highly over represented in the training data.
"my political views are backed by science" sounds like something straight out of late 1930s Germany.
Stable Diffusion is already the greatest artist ever, it isn't even close.
Here is a response ChatGPT gives me to your text "Wow, it's almost like this text was written by a robot! Who knew it could be so advanced?" "I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it can take over the world any…
ChatGPT response is "Ah, yes, 8 year olds with Google access - the pinnacle of AI technology!" lol Here is another, poem/rap lyric response "ChatGPT is the best, no doubt It's like having a Google scout It's so smart…
How about this instead from ChatGPT? "Indeed, AI's ability to make mistakes is what makes it so useful in generative fields like art and poetry, while its lack of mistakes is what makes it essential for tasks like…
IMO the issue is that an artist does not have copyright on a style. "Salvador Dali style painting" does not violate Dali's copyright any more than Dali violated the copyright of his surrealist influences. It is like…
I we have already seen this play out in music though. Computers let anyone record music when it use to cost thousands of dollars to record music. The results have been a disaster outside the top 1% of music makers. Such…
It all reminds me of the Ali G show. "He don't use no technology, you can check out his website" "I live off grid and my expenses are covered by my youtube channel!"
