For the past few years, I've seen a dozen of friends or acquaintances turn "ideologically crazy", and they can be roughly grouped into: A) Onset of schizophrenia or other serious m…

But the question is how much are people willing to pay for AI. I use AI every day at work, but I only pay $20. That's the most I will ever want to pay. And, so far, it gives me eve…

Trump holds a grudge against wind turbines, for no other reason than that they "ruined" the view at a golf course / club he owns in Scotland. He tried to get them removed, but lost…

The challenge is that you're not dealing with rational people. The big dog in the White House is a imbecile of the highest order, and everyone is doing everything in their power to…

My office has cut down SaaS costs by a couple of tens of grand a year, simply by making our own versions using LLMs. It is not that we didn't have the expertise to do so to begin w…

The problem in the US, is that historically all flavors of socialism have been painted the same way as communism. So in the end it has been capitalism vs socialism, no room in the …

At my last employer we had a extensive photo gallery with workplace pictures taken from the 60s and up to present day, thousands if images. It was fun to browse through when you ha…

Back in 2013 or 2014 when the first Oculus dev kit came out, the first thing a colleague of mine coded up was his own "virtual" workplace. By trade he was a graphics game dev that …

I don't know why you're being downvoted. This is basically something scientists have been alarming about for the past year: We're moving into a future where science may be tiered i…

I can see legit use cases where people simply can't communicate in any physical way. People with locked-in syndrome, etc. But, obviously those only make up a small number of people…

Truth be told, they didn't put much effort into it before GenAI. Those restaurants that use AI menus now? They just used free templates before. Few mom'n pop restaurants could affo…

I’d argue it is even more common among successful startup founders.

I've found AI to be very conservative when it coms to financial advice. Before AI I used to make my own models, and did that to the point of obsession. In the past year or so AI ha…

I always found it interesting how different things are in US (well, more so startup hotspots) and Europe. In the US you're simply given more chances if you have the right personali…

I don't think PG posts are aimed at us normies. I do read his blogposts when they are published, and for all these years I've always thought that they were aimed at ambitious stude…

If you have issues with having to label your GenAI slop as "AI made", I'm going to assume you are not trustworthy. Just label it.

There’s a few startups pushing this kind of product. Basically agents to run your whole business, and the owners of those startups are making money, while their clients are bleedin…

I don't expect non-foundational or non-frontier startups to do, or publish much heavy hitting research. "AI" has become such a ubiquitous description, it is probably easier to find…

Machine learning could need, and probably has needed, some unified math notation for the past 15 years IMO. With that said, it was worse back in the day - when ML papers were the p…

Imagine if all oil, electricity, water, internet, or anything of importance were to be served by a small cartel only. Mainly due to regulatory capture. Yeah, no thanks.

I'm not a lawyer, but my work domain revolves around data analysis of certain types of crime. Often times the suspects are flagged and under surveillance, so if and when they cross…

That's the way it is where I live, too. It might not be "fair game", but if people really want to help their kids, they should do everything in their power to get them into the hou…

It isn’t that long ago that AI was heavily gatekept and had some serious barriers of entry, due to its origins from academia. I figure most of these are working on products, rather…

I have a theory: People are are less critical to GenAI, slop even, if it is content that is directly related to them. For example, if a friend generates some silly AI video or phot…
