Not liking an experience is always due to a mix of internal and external factors - the key is to disambiguate these. It's possible you don't like being alone primarily because of the feelings associated with loss. It's also p

Stupid question: Why can't models be trained in such a way to rate the authoritativeness of inputs? As a human, I contain a lot of bad information, but I'm aware of the source. I trust my physics textbook over something my nephew

Designers should feel the "need to be original", in the sense that every project is different, and can be looked at with fresh eyes. Perhaps a project is 50% similar to existing project A, 45% similar to existing project B, and 5%

Yep. I'm not quite sure what he's up to. He takes all these interviews and basically says nothing. What's his objective? My guess is he wants OpenAI to become a household name, and so he optimizes for exposure.

I found this statement by Sam quite amusing. It transmits exactly zero information (it's a given that models will improve over time), yet it sounds profound and ambitious.

Maybe an odd take, but I'm not sure what people actually mean when they say "AI terrifies them". Terrified is a strong wrong. Are people unable to sleep? Biting their nails constantly? Is this the same terror as watching a ho

Does knowing an AI can do something reduce our enjoyment of doing that thing ourself? I don't know if we have enough data/experience to say. An example in my own life: an AI I'm sure can perform a piano piece (via MIDI) bette

This is interesting. So is the person writing here is one of these personalities? Or are "you" watching one of these personalities writing? If the former, are there any personalities that are not aware they are one of many?

Narcissistic behavior in general can be viewed as a defense mechanism to avoid feeling the opposite...small and inadequate. Often we have shame from various childhood experiences of feeling inadequate - failing in various ways in which we f

There's an argument to be made that learning to have hard conversations with friends/family is a useful skill, and also builds closeness and trust over time.

Reimagining what a phone interface could look like. If you have an interest in this too, send me a note. (markkinsey@gmail.com) I just like reimagining things, trying to elucidate first principles and go from there.

Agreed. Seems to me the simplest explanation is that our bodies were calibrated over years of evolution eating "real" foods. Processed foods of any kind are significantly less likely to have the correct energy/satiety ratio.

I think there is a technical and experiential aspect to these 3 elements. I think the technical aspect can be met, but perhaps it's equally true that the experience of trust etc with another human can not be replaced (in a literal sens

Wrt money - I'm just pointing out that assuming someone is happy because they are rich is flawed. 3 is interesting, and backed up by what's happening in this thread. My question is really: is that the world we want to live in? Thr

We know that money is not a great thing to measure to ascertain happiness, so I feel her bank account is irrelevant. And compassion is not a finite resource.

This is advocating revenge, and being pleased to see someone suffer. Imagine she had a breakdown due to stress and her life went off the rails - would you feel that was fair? How much would she have to suffer before you are satisfied?

There's never a good enough reason to withhold compassion. That's the whole point of it.
