About a year ago I thought this would settle down but it's only gotten worse. I suppose the llm anthropomorphizing will continue until morale improves

Generational transfer is very important to me and the main reason I build my "antilibrary". Not only has tech based "browsing" failed to even come close to the power of a full bookshelf, it has absolutely no transfer qua

Great post. I wonder how much this can improve if you RAG-ify a diverse set of contextual data, for example calendar, meals, recent conversations from the real world, etc. It's also interesting that бля was translated to 'damn&#x2

I'm not a critic of AI or moving any goal posts. I'm not lobbing comments in a vacuum. I was responding directly to the comical proposal that we don't need actors anymore, to which my Godfather comment has every relevance. Th

We must be speaking past each other. I am not out for acclaim and sorry for any confusion. Everything you say is exactly the point I'm trying to make, evidently clumsily. The "mysterious thing" is the human element. I don&#x2

I scored 159 on the LSAT in 2014, so I am not claiming the tests are easy. I am pointing out that when an AI aces them, it says more about the test than anything else.

Of course it would be easier. I agree. I just take issue with the "why humans" thing because if anything, the recent advancements highlight just how big the human element really is. Can you imitate a Bach prelude? Sure. And only p

Please try to make an original movie that meets the standard of, say, The Godfather, with AI.

You don't have to imagine it, it's already the way it is. A company social hierarchy is just a little more forgiving than a high school.

As far as tech goes the US "gets back in return" the best talent coming out of Canadian universities. This isn't exactly peanuts.

Anyone know if breath is also connected to specific body parts? Really crude contrived example to illustrate what I mean: deep breathing affecting the left arm, shallow breathing affecting the right arm? I always felt there must be some con

That a group doesn't treat failure the same way as an individual is practically tautological in the sense that the power of a group vis a vis outcome (whether ~success or ~failure) is precisely that it's not an individual, but a p

This is interesting - provoking. Can you share some authors/material that has influenced your awakening, so to speak?

I believe your 3 points are covered by dishonesty, and perhaps the writing process can be said to be a potential cure for "lack of X". Still, when one is competent and has something to say, writing is not difficult in the sense be

This is especially tough because of how much skill it takes for you the questioner to not make the other person feel stupid when they realize they can't answer your questions.

I was clumsily pointing out the oddity of saying "ever" in a rule ostensibly "general" aka with exceptions. Otherwise, it just looks like a preference to me. Why should (3) never exist at all? I've definitely found

I can understand that there are places/screens/experiences where you'd like some peace and quiet but the idea that communication with technology should as a "general rule" not "ever. ever ever" be anything

Interesting. Marc is a nuanced guy of course but I sense he may have shifted in the last while. I recall in his 1:1 w/ Peter Thiel he took the opposing side of this argument. Peter does not mince words re: the progress of "science

The pushback is confusing. If this approach continues to catch adoption a self deployable OS clone is inevitable.

Do slightly less intelligent people have non flawed brains because they were forced to do more work in an allegedly poor education system? Your brain is not flawed, and certainly not cursed, except perhaps by its own silliness. Agree with y
