Is everyone really measured on their magnanimity? We all pick our metrics to feel like we’re winning or losing.

What does unethical behavior have to do with unethical behavior? What does looking at data you're not supposed to look at have to do with looking at data you're not supposed look at? Please don't be obtuse. People whistleblow

No one has to say it and plan it out loud. But the data will be sitting there. The incentive to improve the model for enterprise use will only get stronger. It doesn't take much for one engineer or team to go rogue to hack a benchmark.

I can tell you there will never come a time when American or UK refugees will be able to look to Poland or Ukraine or Afghanistan or India for rescue. It is that level of idealism and high trust naïveté that makes first world civilizations

No that’s never happened to India you’re right. If you “support” relocation of a Ukrainian like Iryna Zarutska they might end up moving to Charlotte, NC where they get stabbed on a train. Road to hell paved with good intentions and all that

Not really. Just mortified at how incapable the people we have been supposedly helping for decades are after just a short stop in funding.

Just another perspective, no snark intended. I don’t see how helping “refugees” is some objective good.

Donating to charities or NGOs might be more harmful than anything you've ever done.

I agree, which is why it’s too early to make such grandiose claims about deep learning theory.

Idk to me this is just redescribing what deep neural networks do without actually explaining why anything happens. I guess it "unifies" things but I am kinda over most unifying theories. Everything is Bayesian, everything is a gra

I'm having a hard time understanding what IP of value could have possibly been generated in less than 8 months to make it worth $400 million. I guess it's just spending some stock into hiring some very smart experienced people to

Then there isn't really anything to argue over. No one should have to convince you. Either you see its value or you don't.

They have money. It’s taken from the rest of us and given to them. The rules you follow in life will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile, the taxes you pay are to support the bottom quintile, the greatest risks to your life and

The bottom quintile gets everything handed to them and it's still not enough. We all live at the mercy of them and their dysfunction.

The problem is the promotion of values and behaviors that plague a low-trust society. I think making excuses for it is truly inappropriate and immoral.

The job isn't finished if a complaint has to go viral every time slack has an oversight and threatens to delete nonprofit chat data within 7 days. The comment you're calling unprocessed rage and tar-and-feathering just said it

So what exactly was the oversight here? Is it normal practice to change contracts and billing plans and threaten deactivation within 7 days?

Can you just train one to have a favorite ice cream? You think training on a bunch of words saying I like vanilla ice cream is somehow equivalent to remembering times you ate ice cream and saying my favorite is vanilla? Just because an LLM

So when I tell you I like vanilla ice cream I am just hallucinating and calling it a memory? And when chatgpt says they like vanilla ice cream they are doing the same thing as me? Do I need to prove it to you that they are different? Is it

Ok, that is memory. I am talking about hallucination vs human or even animal intent in an embodied meaningful experience.

We’re all prone to anthropomorphizing from time to time. It’s the mechanizing of humans that concerns me more than the humanizing of these tools, those aren’t equivalent.

It's insane that this has to be explained to a fellow living person. There must be some mass psychosis going on if even seemingly coherent and rational people can make this mistake.
