Yup. If there is a crash, those with cash and understanding will clean up. AI is eating the world, period.

Benjamin Franklin said the same in his autobiography. I wonder if Gore Vidal had read it.

You would be steel-manning his essay if you assume he’s right in these arguments. Unless you believe that no position is more correct than another or that no one is more often correct than others, you can imagine scenarios where the author

Right so it’s gonna be a litmus test for knowledge workers going forward if they can separate style over substance. Genai tells are style. You have to be able to evaluate the ideas.

I don’t know, but it’s kind of boring to speculate since computers easily beat us at chess and go.

The reason you want to enforce a culture of collaboration is because that’s how you bubble up the smart people. The alternative is gatekeeping and cronyism.

Thank you for your service. Hopefully something like this can put pressure on airlines to understand how hostile their internet services are and that it matters. Last year I flew roundtrip to the Philippines on Philippines Airlines. Each wa

My aunt is 80 and thank goodness she has an iPhone. She’s bedridden and spends all day on it. She has no children but I lived with her for a while when I moved out of my parent’s, and we text often.

How do you envision the castaways made a bad impression? It's not like every band of explorers immediately tries to open a Walmart or something. My guess is that the dominant society anywhere will make you pay for not knowing their cul

If you can imagine, say, being imprisoned in a 10x10 cell for the rest of your life, and how that would affect your own internal sense of "free will", I think you'll realize it's not arbitrary. One of the debates around

I've been keeping a running gag with my acquaintances over YouTube's recommendations for a while now, because they're so improbably and time-sensitively on the nose. Yesterday was the worst one yet. We were driving and my dau

It's not an illusion any more than Vegas odds are an illusion. Free will is the (correct) perception by an agent that its actions can't be predicted by other agents. My guess is that there will never be an agent that can predict m
