Let’s go back to the good ol days when half of movies were about cowboys.
If only we had all had such principled foresight. Thank you for this great lesson.
It is not an ad account - the other reply is stupid. I am saying ad accounts deal with this crap from FB all the time. Add this instance to the pile. It is the price of surrendering comms and marketing to a gigantic…
Autobans happen to ad accounts on FB all the time.
I am 99% sure it was an automated system false positive, but it is annoying that we all have to rely on these capricious systems. That is in itself a problem with massive scale platforms. It confirms my silly hot take…
Yes, and I think over time there will be a blatant inequality in who is commoditized and who isn’t. If AI engineers didn’t create the data to produce the models, and they increasingly don’t write the code to produce the…
keep thinking! I know its hard!
keep reading the comment, maybe in a few years you'll be able to understand
what does SI stand for, subordinate imbecile?
I have been kind of disappointed by AI science-wise. I was anticipating more advancement. Experiments do take time, so I suppose they could be pending.
What attracted you to the field? (I’ll see myself out)
Same experience. The question "what is your most memorable experience" also kind of annoyed me, because I see AI mostly as a tool. It is like asking me what my most memorable experience with my iphone is. I'm sure I…
People start with this prior in the examples you gave when they are completely uncertain and have no better mental model. It is not a good starting point for an event that has never happened and can only happen once.
Uninformative priors are a part of Bayesian models, which are useless if they cannot be updated with real or simulated data?

I think the reason for this is that the group who has the authority to do the former is much larger than the group that can do the latter. The group who could actually build safeguards seems to have no free time and is…
There’s nothing wrong with bold predictions, but they should be paired with good methods. The doom predictions are not paired with good explanation.
Where does 50% come from? It is meaningless if the probability model is not explained.
Why should I believe this 2.8B matters relative to the trillions put into the AI buildout? All of the "coordinated actions" from this camp - public resignations, hacking scandals, joint calls to "pause" - don't seem to…
There are two things that make me sad about AI: 1) the mass proliferation of low-effort content. A thing can be implemented quickly and correctly but still be badly designed. When people say "oh this will go away as the…
Can you give an example? I'm not dismissing - I just can't think of one myself
I enjoyed the book too, but as I read it, I felt more and more like he could have just as easily found examples where making a system simpler and more legible led to massive improvements.
I’m reading William Vollmann’s Imperial (a book about the eponymous county in CA) , Richard White’s “The Republic for Which it Stands” (a history of reconstruction and the gilded age), and Paul Starr’s “Social…
“First principles thinking” is a Silicon Valley cliche. It is a tell for me
