What? Bill Gates is a fine person. I know this because the decades long multi mullion dollar influence campaign to make me think this has been working to perfection! What about the children?

It is not true at all. I have already seen more new styles since summer from Stable Diffusion than in the last 20 years of going to art galleries. Every artist has their influences. If they come up with something new it is from a unique com

Yea how stupid. Everyone in this thread has already recognized how many faces so far today with their eyes and nothing blew up? Look at the personal computer? It is just a better place to hold your recipes. We basically live in 1980 + havin

I just picture someone worrying about people dialing phone numbers while driving in the car in 1990? What a stupid thing to worry about since obviously the cord won't be long enough. People aren't going to want to have a phone on

Yea that is just not going to happen. I have dated so many divorced and separated women that just couldn't deal with the video games anymore. Way more so than financial problems. Financial problems didn't make them feel actively a

To me, happiness as we age is making sure that we still have dreams and goals. My goal is to make my 50s the most exciting and interesting decade of life and then try to top it in my 60s. Even if I don't reach the goal that is besides

I am curious too but the article is in the style of an English major and I just can't stand that style of writing. It is like the literary equivalent to guitar shredders. I know he was a doctor and that is obviously an odd career traje

The main problem is Meta has no imagination and is just going to play it safe and G rated. The killer VR apps are all in creating a rated R type Metaverse that is seedy and dangerous. 80s Manhattan style, not safe for work or children. That

Brilliant. All the American kids can hire Chinese students to take tests for them because it will be a great lesson in how the real world operates junior! So many utterly ridiculous comments in this thread.

Hundreds of thousands of people screaming at each other. It really needs a better model because the idea of scaling up the town square is just a terrible idea.

From Introduction To The Theory Of Complex Systems: • Complex systems can exhibit a rich phase structure and have a huge variety of macrostates that often cannot be inferred from the properties of the elements. This is sometimes referred to

I will not be surprised at all if many of these words are simply not used in 10 years. Stanford is about as influential an institution as we have. When tarball and gray hat are seen as racist there are no bounds. The bold black aggressive l

All kinds of bad possibilities. We seem to also have a bias that Russia and China are just automatically allied and there can never be a war between the two.

Yea, this is the fitness industry. 30 years ago it was a guy in a magazine on every drug known to man that would claim the reason for their size was Muscle Mega 3000 and then on the next page would be an advertisement for Muscle Mega 3000.

Their 2021 financial report is literally comical it is so bad for a company that should have been printing money. I can't stand Musk but my god did he give the shareholders a free lunch. I can't even imagine what the stock price w

I am just too old for NFTs but I can completely understand how that is cool having grown up collecting baseball cards. There is really no valid argument that paying for a jpeg is any more ridiculous than paying for a piece of ultra thin car

Pretty much irrelevant where I am at. It wasn't even on a main TV station and then they cut the coverage to go to NFL coverage right after the penalty kicks. The biggest problem is that soccer and American football are both Fall sports

GPT4 stories might be a huge feature. Usually when I read a story about something I know quite well the reporter gets things wrong or at the least you can tell they are a journalist and don't really know the subject well. AI just has a

You clearly don't like art then. Stable Diffusion is the greatest artist ever and it isn't even close. We are at the art singularity. I made a logo for the first time with it the other day and not only was it better than anything

I am pretty sure the big sticking point is Carmack thinks they should be doing the opposite of putting out $1500 headsets. He was pretty much taking shots at people during his Meta Connect talk this year. There is nothing shocking about him

You first have to define what playing field are we talking about? The playing field in this context is basically latency arbitrage. Who cares what hedge fund is collecting what alpha? We live in the most golden age for retail trading. Retai

I worry though we are trying to fix something that isn't really broke. My first Scott Trade brokerage account years back cost $7 a trade per side Now I pay absolutely nothing. Every trade I make I think about how this probably won&#x27

A problem though is how real world social networks operate. People love to gather with a bunch of strangers over coffee or at restaurants but have absolutely nothing to do with each other besides sitting in close proximity. Everyone wants t

Exactly. We don't have virtual reality at all. We have virtual remote viewing with sound. We are basically at the Eliza stage of VR with a bunch of people pretending Eliza is not that far from passing the Turing Test. Once we have virt

It strikes me as a type of publishing house literary participation trophy. You either write textbooks, self publish or the author is a "New York Times best selling author".

The scientific corpus is mostly wrong information though. This is how we are going to pay a huge price for this ridiculous system of a citation social network and PhD mills masquerading as science.

lobotomized AI assistant future is already a done deal to me. For that to not happen we would need to be laying the foundations right now with these organizations operating on absolutist 90s cyberpunk values. Pretty much the opposite is hap

We also always ignore economics in these situations. The reason we all don't have a Boston Dynamics level robot right now is because of the economics of mass producing such a robot. To call that an engineering problem is too simplistic

Those quotes are not about trust, they are about the rhetorical technique of appeal to authority. The actual payload though is the mistrust of authority exactly because we are all so susceptible to the logical fallacy of appeal to authority

I grew up playing ping pong in the backyard because we had no room inside. It sucks just as much as you would imagine it would because of the wind. It is not quite as bad as trying to surf on a pond but it is down that path.
