I'm working on a framework that connects multiple publicly available AIs (GPT-4, Suno Chirp, several Sentence Transformer models, etc.) in an effort to create a fully autonomous si…

> "And if he can't sell it, why would he create it (or at least, why would he publish and market it) in the first place?" And this is the crux of my biggest issue with people who a…

As someone with a background in biomedical engineering, who once planned to research the development of gene therapies for cancer treatments: yes, definitely :) But we do know the …

I maintain that the short-form limitation of Twitter is exactly what amplifies the shitstorm compared to other social media platforms. Being anonymous makes people act like asshole…

I'd like to start a petition that we engineer a chimp with human TKTL1 and human FOXP2 genes! Sounds like we're only about 3 or 4 SNPs away, and if a chimp had a denser neocortex a…

Here's the thing about truth: the "who" doesn't matter. There shouldn't even be a question of "who determines if something is untrue?", nor should we be advocating for every indivi…

Not stolen, just a terrible consequence of a poor voting system (i.e. electoral college) and a larger-than-comfortable minority of voters who were also shitty humans.

That's a poor analogy. You're going to the website, it's not coming to you, and you're given recommendations, not having them load and play the videos for you automatically. This i…

Even humans have trouble deciding (a) what constitutes "suitable content" and (b) whether we should be deciding that for other people. So of course our current algorithms don't tak…

I agree with you that clicks and view time do not necessarily equate to desired content, but I disagree with you that Google uses those parameters because they're "evil". They make…

Discussion of fraud is not beyond the Overton window. Continued discussion of dangerous ideas which have already been proven false should be, simply because of those two reasons. F…

No one call the forest rangers, I'm running down that hiking trail! :D No, but legitimately, my motivation is "I know what I'm good at, how do I apply that to create new things?" I…

Nice! I love how fast AI is improving :) Attention mechanisms are something I know to be extremely important in the rapid advancement of modern AI (post-2017), but they're also som…

If we learn to be less greedy, more empathetic, and more willing to give to those who need more than us without expectation of immediate reciprocation... then the answer is "better…

I was going to say. Recommendation algorithms across the internet work on the simple principal that "if they click these things or watch these things a lot, then they must like the…

So, let's remind everyone the difference between correlation and causation. Many people may look at these colorful charts and walk away with the idea that "therefore, having more m…

...ew. Gross.

100%. In fact, let's be less scientific and more creative: 200%! My current job's entire lack of creativity is what's burned me out, made me unproductive (when for 3.5 years I was …

I've never understood the view that "this disability is part of me and we shouldn't try to cure it". I struggle with anxiety and depression, and the same argument could be made the…

Spider-Man wisdom: "Don't watch the mouth, watch the hands."

Care to elaborate on what you think the solution is that would "massively decrease living standards for most of the developed world", and how it would do so?

On the other hand, humans also don't give 100% correct output in anything, either :D

To be fair, climate change is already "solved" in that we know how to reduce, slow, or possibly even halt it. It's not a matter of figuring out how, it's a matter of getting people…

I mean, yeah, but that's no different than people claiming DALL-E will replace artists, or GPT-3 will replace authors, or calculators will replace mathematicians, or the printing p…

Completely agree. Also, "Even if these AIs started generating their own ideas, it would be amazing and fascinating and worth celebrating": they already can, if you combine them wit…
