Ah, okay, that makes sense then.

Thanks for the details, it's definitely believable, but if the user had not consented to have their conversations used for training, then shouldn't it be straightforward to state that their conversations were never used for traini

Talking like that and threatening an academic like that is crazy. I read the explanations Altman and the others posted and they completely skip over the whole "I don't have to be nice" style threats.

Wow, this is an incredibly detailed piece. Really in depth reporting and the kind of detailed investigation we need more of on important topics like this. > "Employees now call this moment “the Blip,” after an incident in the Marvel

The nature of memory is so cool, the idea that there are completely different systems governing the creation of wholesale "new" memories and the modification of existing concepts is fascinating to me because those things really do

Why would adding more information and context be unnecessary? And why is that bad?

The extra information is that he is the canonical case which defined our clinical understanding of the condition. Not just a "single relevant article." I pulled it up because I was familiar with this fact.

I thought maybe people would be curious to read about how we came to understand the condition and the history behind it, as well as any associated information. Forgive me for such a deep transgression as this assumption.

A very good point. For anyone not familiar with anterograde amnesia, the classical case is patient H.M. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Molaison ), whose condition was researched by Brenda Milner.

There may be some demographic groups located between people who were young during the 1980s and people who are young during the 2020s, time periods which are 40 years apart.

This seems plausible. It would be shocking if these companies didn't have an automated testing suite which is recomputing these benchmarks on a regular basis, and uploading to a dashboard for supervision. Given that they already pre-ap

Could be, could also be situations where things are lined up to launch in the near future and then a mad dash happens upon receiving outside news of another launch happening. I suppose coincidences happen too but that just seems too unlikel

The behind the scenes on deciding when to release these models has got to be pretty insanely stressful if they're coming out within 30 minutes-ish of each other.

Heritability is a pretty funky concept because it's contextual to a certain point in time, environment, and population, effectively. An example I like is that if you measured the heritability of depression in 2015, and then you measure

Thank you for the reply. I get that feeling, I've felt it in smaller doses in other contexts. There's a sense of resignation there where you keep doing something that you know is hurting you when you feel like you don't know

This is wild, what were the effects like for you? I imagine your eyes and hands would start to see physical effects from that level of use for such a consistent time. What sort of social changes did you notice after that period of time? I&#

There's definitely debate over which specific scenarios tariffs could be beneficial, as I understand it, but the general theme is that any benefits are highly concentrated (one or two companies or industries will benefit) and the negat

For the US, it's not too out of the norm historically speaking. Up until relatively recently tariffs were very popular in the US despite the clear understanding by academics that they were incredibly damaging to the economy. Political

If advertising is no longer financially rewarding, is there not an argument that labor could transition into a different sector of the economy? Companies based around advertising would die, yes, but they only exist in the first place becaus

Currently I think it is difficult to argue that advertising in its most visible forms have any serious benefit to people looking to obtain a service. How often does an actual random advertisement shown on a billboard or a preroll youtube ad

The reason it pays for that is through redistribution though, right? If they weren't receiving a monetary benefit from advertising, they wouldn't run them, and the monetary benefit needs to be larger than the cost to fund those th

This is a thing I think about often. I think people have a mistaken view of what makes some form of storytelling interesting. Perhaps this is my own bias, but something could be incredibly technically proficient or realistic and I could fin

I think reading does force more long term focus, even if it's marginal for certain books. Certainly moreso than scrolling TikTok. My personal process of grappling with this led to a focus on agency and intentionality when defining the

The democratization of storytelling is probably the best argument in favor, I'd agree. Thank you for the response! I do find the actual generation of video very cool as a technical process. I would also say that I can find a lot of thi

Certainly, and that is the more pessimistic view that I have, that this is being developed with a view to introduce product sponsorships and advertisements. I mainly am curious if anyone has the view that there is broader benefit to the dev
