Could you share an example?

Trump said he wanted to make polls that were "bad for him" illegal, and to take broadcast licenses away from networks that criticized him. DeSantis tried to take an abortion ad off air in Florida since he disagreed with it. Eviden

I don't get this argument, since Trump has called tens of folks nasty names, called Harris a communist, marxist, etc. and called Democrats the "enemy within". Why is the standard different for Dems?

Most of their economic policies, Medicare for Seniors, etc. apply to poor White folks as much as anyone. Harris never campaigned on trans issues whatsoever.

It's curious that clicking on the links doesn't take you to a /page.html but rather just /page. Is that due to Cloudflare routing?

https://colonist.io is the browser version of Catan. I play it often!

Could you elaborate on that point about structure? I’m curious what you mean.

Looks like the latest MBA is only 0.1 lbs less than the equivalent MBP at 3.4 lbs. Feels like they used to be lighter.

This post made it through as well (though it's fine since it's not about LLMs) - "Segment Anything Model (SAM) can "cut out" any object in an image". Perhaps use GPT to determine whether a post title is ML &#x2

I think it very much depends on the kind of "future" we aspire to. I think for most folks, a future optimized for human health and happiness (few diseases, food for all, and strong human connections) is something we hope technolog

Agree that better public transport is the ideal solution. When do you see self driving cars becoming required?

by trekkie1024 3y ago
Personally I think there’s a distinction to be made between generative AI and that of say, self driving cars. I’d definitely consider the latter a net positive for safety.

I think my bigger concern with AI in the short term isn't the immediate displacement of all jobs, but something more personal. In much of the world today, we observe the fraying of human connection and relationships due to a variety of

by trekkie1024 4y ago
100% agree. It always irks me that we’re using AI to solve “problems” that don’t exist (the automation of creativity and relationships, things that make us human) while not putting as much effort into real issues facing the world today (pov

A corollary to this: After seeing https://twitter.com/pwang_szn/status/1635733845097037825 I'm imagining a world where everyone on dating apps is able to craft these clever messages, giving those who actually

Yes. That’s called fine tuning.

This seems well-written and explores some of the probable outcomes. One of the things that concerns me most is about AI is that it could strip away or reduce what makes us human - creativity, friendships, romance ( https://www.abc

I can sympathize with the author's experiences, though I find things like One recent man had a lot going for him. In fact he was the most promising prospect I’d had in some time. But then he mentioned that he got his daily coffee from
