The current consensus is that the effects of social media on mental health are in between minimally detrimental to non-existent.

Expensive and Google doesn't even have enough resources to decently deploy a model like that. Creating 10 images in parallel gives me RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error, which is a painfully common error when using Google AI products.

I think it's pretty safe to assume they are not losing money on inference.

Companies who could see it clearly and ignored the "AI is a bubble duh" crowd will ultimately get benefited by the GPUs they already acquired. The companies who acted cautiously will get burned.

I like you.

Last time I checked there's no scientific consensus if social media causes harm at all. The best studies found null or very small effects. So yeah, I am skeptical it is harmful.

I have no idea where this idea that Internet is toxic to children is coming from. Is that some type of moral panic? Weren't most of you guys children/adolescents during the 2000's?

The equivalence of emotions to reward functions seem pretty obvious to me. Emotions are what compel us to act in the environment.

Idk, we seem to be the at the cusp of autonomous driving. Transportation is like ~8% of world's GDP. Payroll is, what, 30% of that? It seems like we can already have the return on all AI investment by just conquering this one applicati

Yeah, I suspect the reason the author didn't find a relationship between IQ and happiness / life satisfaction is probably because those studies were overcontrolling for intermediate variables. If money makes us happier and people

Contributing to human welfare through technological advances and productivity gains is a much better place to deposit my hopes and emotions, imo.

It's honestly not that deep. If AI increases productivity, we should accept it. If it doesn't, then the hype will eventually fade out. In any case, having attachment to the craft is a bit cringe. Technological progress trumps any

Looks like you are correct.

The problem with this approach to text generation is that it's still not flexible enough. If during inference the model changes its mind and wants to output something considerably different it can't because there are too many toke

Things are already going severely wrong in 1% of the cases. At this point not getting a second opinion from an LLM is irresponsible, imo.

I did create benchmarks and simulated impact following different scenarios (including the one I was advocating for). Unfortunately that was received in deaf ears. Even worse, actually; they thought I was being too pushy by adding the scenar

Even with all these tools available, big companies would still be unable to compete in speed simply because in 99% of cases they don't have the required culture set in place.

This is a good strategy, imo. I was following it for almost a year and I was having a blast working in a startup. Then a new manager came along and started to dictate how things should be done without much input from the technical team. I k

Food can also indirectly enhance opioid signaling. What's your point?

This new Gemini Flash 2.5 is cutting the response in the middle. Did anyone experience that?

To be fair, even if you understand it that's doesn't mean it will work well.

It compares AI-adopting companies with non-adopting firms, so that should account for the overall economic scenario.

Why do you have to imply there's some conspiracy? Haven't you noticed productivity gains by incorporating AI to your workflow? If you have, then there's your answer: we point to that possibility because we are seeing everyday

Nothing in the rate of improvement of a steam engine suggest it would be able to drive a car or do the job of an attorney.

I feel like you are trapped in the first assessment of this problem. Yes, we are not there yet, but have you thought about the rate of improvement? Is that rate of improvement reliable? Fast? That's what matters, not where we are today
