I have claude just label at the top of all the notes it's generated "Generated by Claude". I also put them into specific claude folders. I agree with the downsides of not being able to distinguish your own writing from an AI&

I’m not certain that an AI agent itself is going to cure cancer. But I am certain that millions of scientists using AI will make lots of progress. I guarantee someone at Moderna was using Claude in some capacity.

Strauss Zelnick the TakeTwo CEO has talked about how there’s two periods to go hard at your career ambitions: before kids and then after they are older and have their own lives. In between, my frame on this personally has always been that n

It's true. The negative takeaway is that is no matter what miracles come in the far future (free energy, perfect health care, infinite resources, infinite intelligence), people will eternally be wanting, take things for granted, focuse

The US wields incredible negotiating power and hegemony because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency. Like the British pound and the Dutch guilder before it, if that loses reserve currency status it will be harder to borrow on favorab

I'll have to look these up! The staff definitely strongly proclaim that Dalhousie is the oldest. I wonder why they omit these

This is incredible. This was the promise of the proclamations of "the metaverse" or interchangeable crypto game items/characters, but is using none of those things. Like Ready Player One come to life without the hype. Curious

We just stayed in Dalhousie Castle, the oldest in Scotland. Very beautiful and well maintained, with lots of spooky history. If you want to leave a legacy, build something out of stone.

Tim Sweeney’s interviews on the uses of GenAI for game development have been some of the best takes I’ve heard. He’s mentioned how GenAI is great at filling in the gaps or treating assets, but no world simulation means no deep persistence o

I made a hard switch from all digital to all physical (when available) after I tried to introduce old games to my kids. I found many of them were no longer downloadable. What are the odds that PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox servers will be aro

Incredible. I may be the only one in the dark, but until this moment I had no idea 3D printing at this high a fidelity was possible. It looks like a real bee. Last I knew, the best 3D prints still looked like hardened play dough

Maybe a dumb question but since 2B2T (as I understand it) is a single instance of everyone modifying it to their heart's content, why does the download look like the standard biomes of a fresh minecraft map?

I’m going to bookmark this and check back periodically this year to see if I am truly not able to buy milk due to plastic. Interesting prediction.

If you don't like this, physical books are wonderful. Unpopular here but: This won't bother non-techies who aren't religiously against DRM. They love their kindles, old ones should be thrown away and they will buy a new one (

I used to work in the games industry and this is a large split between older games and newer games. Traditional games like Super Mario don't "reach out" through notifications for you to play them more like Roblox. You are in

"so full of holes as to be meaningless" what is the solution then to age gating apps that the public feels should be age gated? (TikTok, Instagram, etc). it seems like every app implementing its own guessing system would have even

"Scientists may have...that ability could...early experiments suggest...if verified, it could..." I have become jaded with publications that hedge like this. In my experience most of these discoveries never pan out, they just disa

The key thing here is not whether it's AI. The key thing is quality and signal. No one wants to read to a low quality human comment either. If the AI output was actually better than talking to a real human, more useful, more concise, s

My anxiety about falling behind with AI plummeted after I realized many of these tweets are overblown in this way. I use AI every day, how is everyone getting more spectacular results than me? Turns out: they exaggerate. Here are several re

I would encourage people to test this out for themselves, I think you will find a different result. People today are starved for in-person connection, but are afraid to initiate the conversation. This doesn't come naturally to me, but

Speaking as someone who worked for the SF bay area's largest homeless shelter nonprofit: People who end up homeless long-term usually have negative social behaviors that push others away. When you help them, they don't tell an int
