Feels like this has been going on for 50 years. The AI acceleration just made it more visible. Before it was artisanal non-replicable, p-hacked, publish or perish motivated, politically biased slop. Now we have some AI…
How do they know the accuracy of the clock? Eg: 2s of drift in 65M years. Naively, measuring that seems more difficult than the clock. Wouldn’t you need a perfect clock as a baseline? There must be something really…
Filtering these people is a feature not a bug.
This is a thought experiment. People keep running around glibly talking about p(doom) which is the extinction of the entire human race. They are throwing numbers out like “10%”. If they are serious and believed then…
Yes you can, the US could shut down the entire internet if it wanted. While that is extreme, if there is a high p(doom) it is also reasonable. We can absolutely do things to control AI and fine or imprison those who…
Any solid citations for "and has pushed Low Earth Orbit to the brink of the Kessler Syndrome."? I would be honestly intrigued but wary of just the usual Elon bad/good so all things he does bad/good narratives. If we are…
I mean maybe the super smart person will work at GOOG/META/Netflix to do some absolutely ground breaking work stuffing ads and slop pixels into as many ocular nerves as possible. However, I could see a smart person…
I don’t love the guy and currently am receiving lawsuit settlement money from him but… This is such cope.
Lets say you have a colleague named Bob. Bob is a pretty good engineer, but he is as confident when he doesn’t know as when he knows. You can never tell his degree of confidence in his answer. For low-level things he is…
Having listened to him give a couple of talks I am always struck by how much he talks and writes like Claude code. I don’t think he farms out all of his writing and talking to LLMs. I don’t think Claude code was trained…
Any court case involving an LLM you can point to where LLM output violated copyright AND that was held up in court? General thought here is the entire economy is all in on a bet that that would never be enforced and I…
Why would anyone care about either of these things in a negative sense? Isn’t that just saying “he uses modern tools and has subject matter expertise”?
I just have no idea how they are remotely going to enforce this. Like the bad actors can make E2E apps and side load or have their own store. Now with LLMs, this is increasingly trivial. You cannot stop pedophiles and…
Is this progress in the room with us right now? The state of population level mental health seems to be declining in most measurable categories.
We have actually little idea how human brains work. Every age thinks they know how they work, and then every subsequent age laughs at the previous age’s rudimentary understanding. We gave a Nobel prize to the…
This is one of the best high-level survey explanations of GC I have seen, nice work.
From a very naïve perspective, why isn’t air traffic control a solved problem? Would love to be educated here, but it seems like there are just not that many moving pieces per airport (<10,000) and all of them are…
Amazing fresh ice cream is just not that hard to make at home. It’s also a fun social thing especially with young kids. Companies need to be taught that if they enshittify they die.
Apple is historically successfully secretive. I suspect their security “lapses” are more along the lines of “give them enough rope to thoroughly hang themselves”
This is something you don’t need to argue about. You don’t need a cite studies. The studies are not geared for a sample size of one there is only one you. Just… Try it. You can just do things. They don’t have to be…
How? I would argue Jack is a much better 0 to 1 guy than Zuck and Zuck is a better 1 to N guy Jack: Twitter, Square (Block), Bluesky/ATProto, bitchat (interesting), buzz (we will see). He just always fumbles the 1 to N…
I would agree with that, but we probably have different definitions of poor. Destitute? Absolutely. I don’t think anybody is shocked that starving people commit crimes to not die. However, I have been in plenty of low…
This looks very interesting, thank you for the recommendation.
Because it is naive to think that the people with the power of absolute surveillance would ever permit “sousveillance”. People already survey atrocities committed by regimes and reporting them does less and less every…
There are high trust communities all over America. Fewer every year.
