I cannot reply to everyone but still want to defend the above post (apart from a patronising tone so apologises for that) The most common response here is “but in the future some other government could do X”. And yes. This was also a major

Some ways to help think about this: 1. Privacy is not secrecy. Your neighbours know what you are doing, they just politely don’t mention it, or try to sell you something on the back of it. 2. Almost everything we do we do in public, with ou

I do wonder if we are looking at it wrong - not a data centre full of einsteins, but a data centre full of dumb and dumber, but together they are smarter than any single intelligence. An AAGI - Artifical Aggregate General Intelligence.

I have been noodling around this for a day or two now and I worry the hype train is clouding everyone’s thoughts (I’m looking at you Dwarkesh) So we are on a weird combination of science (look Language can be modelled, how does that relate

1. LLMs will enhance the “normcore” - which is fine, and probably slow down churn (which may or may not be good - see JavaScript) 2. The problems are not how fast or how well people develop code. See https://youtu.be/5ybAhgA

I am wondering if there is a list of “things you should learn to do with your LLM” (But not the rubbish ads youtube keeps showing me) Reverse engineering seems a good one (ev en if his RE nix sandbox looks fairly usable, it seems like a wee

No, robots are everywhere. China is at a weird part of its demographic curve and its economic curve - where a manufacturing base (subsidised by global trade, FX policy and so on) is meeting a declining workforce and robots are literally che

This - one hundred times this. No matter what the “algorithm” is, at some point it’s a choice of what to put in front of the user - a publishing choice. Unless the rules are solely determined by myself and deterministic (no selection or cho

The example of “transcibe the initial project discussion, turn that into BDD and that makes the rails to guide the AI is … either brilliant and insightful or a snake eating it’s own tail. I think it has to be worth a try though…

The situation is something we all will have to deal with as time goes on - this is an archive . If I remember rightly Facebook used to archive by just putting the old hard disks in a room. At the volume of data we are heading towards most

Probably the most important single privacy point is in my first sentence - I said “their (McDonald’s) data about you.” Of course it should be your data. Data that exists or is collected by your action or lack of action, or delay of action o

But then that’s not McDonald’s using their data but selling it onwards for others to aggregate and use. That’s the underlying fear and issue - and quite right. Over the next decades we are going to gather and analyse soooo much data, and so

But this is a similar argument to “the 1950s were great let’s go back to then”. We never really were a united society with a common set of agreed facts. And depending on which “we” we mean the difference is radical. White America and Black

Im not sure how it remained in even the same shape after 35 years. I would assume if you left a mars bar on a shelf for a few years it would rot in some fashion. I guess perhaps we put a lot of shit on our bodies
