Your comment makes me wonder what the historical ratio was between books and readers. I know that books were in very short supply a thousand years ago, but readers were also very s…

I like this version much better because most people don't write books and AI is much better at writing than the average person, probably even a few standard deviations above the av…

I think it's supposed to be a riff on "men who state at goats".

I really like the last one "Crack down on negative sum behavior." So much of our society is involved in causing lots of distributed harm just to extract a little bit of value.

The word Grok comes from the novel Stranger in a Strange Land where the main character is Valentine.

My wife and I had this exact same sort of situation and now we're both logged into each other's accounts. We never have trouble finding our phones now but it does introduce other p…

If you like that article I think you'll really like this video. It's about the same thing but goes over a lot more data: https://youtu.be/8UAsN9wvePE?si=Kom5C1u4T7yX29jb

Perhaps there's a silver lining to this. Maybe the remaining vultures have a resistance to the drug and with an abundance of food they will be able to recover? I don't know any of …

I think a lot of people in the office pretend to be less competent than they are to avoid getting assigned more work.

As an American who has never been to Wisconsin this is pretty much what I would imagine as well.

Aside from a layer of grime, what's missing from the standard cyber punk formula?

The main reason I find this a little sad is because I just want to be able to play with the big boy toys. I don't really see why only the ultra powerful should have access to these…

I've never done a take-home test before meeting with the hiring manager and actually got an interview after doing the test. I've never done a test after interviewing with the hirin…

I should clarify that the author said he had technical people he knew review it during the production phase. He was not talking about paying money to get positive reviews on the Am…

Wow this video is such a trip! It's the pre-gpt version of the low quality book scam.

6k is what the book brought in but the author has only been paid 1.5k. And given that the author paid his friends to review it, this project seems like it's pretty close to netting…

I work for a company that has spent billions of dollars on Google ads in the last decade and it doesn't seem like we're a big customer either.

Wow that's freakishly small. When I ask Chat GPT how big it's model is, it says that it's 500GB - 1TB. But to keep in mind that doesn't include additional space required for softwa…

Hate to say it but it seems rational to hire like crazy to hedge against a rocket hot economy increasing demand. Also seems rational to cut back when things cool. I certainly don't…

I've never heard of body doubling before but you got me to Google it and that's very interesting phenomena. I definitely do better at some tasks when there's someone around with me…

If you want to keep trusting it over time then you can never criticize the CCP or they will take it from you.

Basically if you don't like Musk then all this behaviors can be explained as hostile. I certainly don't agree with this viewpoint but this is functionally what is happening.

Reading your content has me wondering how this all is related to living in a very litigious society where everyone has to live in fear of lawsuits.

Wow that's insane and horrific. Were you able to claim unemployment?
