I agree insofar as this may fall on deaf ears of AI folks, but that the goals are differ is exactly the point of pointing out misalignment. To talk about this may be more useful for coalescing professional societies than for conversing dire

Even the name "work louder" seems to encourage some sort of post-literacy future; I find it off-putting.

It was fun to guess these without being familiar. I sort of guessed based on vague knowledge of age and name familiarity. Maybe I was lucky.

Suffering from executive dysfunction obviates that there is no free will, and it's as if good health is simply having that illusion work out harmoniously.

I think you make a good point that much of what we call thinking is really discourse either with another ^[0], with media, or with one's own self. These are largely mediated by language, but still there are other forms of communicati

Even if this is a possible factor it most certainly would not be the only cause.

Agreed. I have never heard a scientist use this phrase, but I've heard plenty of left leaning folks use it. As left wing politics absorbs science as it's cause - and not a cause that everyone is for - I fear it actively turns ri

I disagree. You can read a book or listen to a record, watch a dvd, unlimited times, having fairly paid upfront a price for the item. A computer is general purpose and lets you check your email every day, hell even lets you create new value

Profitable for sure, but I'm often half surprised by the lack of competition against subscription-based everything these days.

Without having read into this deeper, it sounds like someone could take an original video which has this code embedded as small fluctuations in luminance over time and edit it or produce a new video, simply applying the same luminance chang

This comes up in so many threads here... How can we change the culture of subscriptions back to pay once???

I mean, are the phones themselves really making money off ads or are those totally separate companies? I don't disagree that this brings in business, but I don't agree that this is a significant motivator in terms of phone sizes

Number one factor for me when buying a phone is how long is it going to last . I mean durability, camera quality, os updates. Will I still want to use/be using it in 5 years? I cannot justify $700 as much as I _really want a smaller p

This brings personal nostalgia to when I was very young and made an "OS" in PowerPoint using links between slides, animations, and the embedded internet explorer object. Similarly, I'm not sure I see any practical use in this

Certainly other field are competitive, but the current AI boom has been ridiculous for a while now. As an outside observer, the competition seems to be for the final money, prestige, or whatever the top papers win, rather than competition a

To add to that, I agree with the basic sentiment of the article - but it just doesn't seem to be the reflections of an academic. Ending with optimism about AI, to me, makes me think the author believes AI will solve a problem they are

The thesis here is not well elaborated on. Ref [1] for example seems to me to miss more recent progress on our understanding of working memory, and in linguistics, while Chomsky's work is foundational, we have a much better idea now of

Ofc I love this, as a LibreOffice exclusive user Document signing in Libreoffice on Linux has caused me nothing but trouble, and other critical features a government might want to have - any thoughts on this?

and though the provided biology was vague, I do think it's valid that societal tipping points depend on the fact that individual psychobiology does in fact and obviously cause such intense feelings.

Out of curiosity, how do you describe your medication making you hyper focus on anything other than work? My psychiatrist has told me that means it's working, yet I feel like it is just a different sort of dysfunction.

This certainly hurts research. Suddenly every response is trying to tie in some general themes I've asked about in the past, and the already mediocre quality becomes pandering garbage. I cannot use ChatGPT to discover new things as e

I suspect anything marketed towards older people is likely to decline as that population shrinks. If this is true then in many ways it may be a good thing for this population that products are created for their preferences at all.
