I dont think so. Admittedtly I live in a peculiar bubble (mix of scientists, artists and programmers) but nobody that I know personally talks about chatbots in neutral terms, let a…

Quoting a chatbot in an article that is not related to a chatbot felt offputting and weird. I had to stop reading, because it somehow undermined any interest i had in the article

difficulties in life and genetics are more of a reason to decelop a severe addiction. Quality is probably not so much of importance - people still smoke cigarettes and drink alcoho…

Easy and rather unending access to drugs is not that hard to achieve. One might even argue it is easier to achieve as a poor person. Besides what is a party related disease? Someth…

>Humanity has discarded natural selection thanks to modern medicine. Gene mutations that would have meant someone didn't survive now can be treated. There is still selection going …

I'd wager it is the strongest. Most of the arguments always argue in quantities. So and so much of energy waster per hour, this many job losses and that growing trend of delusions …

I checked the BlEU-Score and Perplexity of popular models and both have stagnated around 2021. As a disclaimer this was a cursory check and I didn't dive into the details of how in…

We were talking about linear improvements and I have yet to see it

>I feel the opposite, and pretty much every metric we have shows basically linear improvement of these models over time. Wait, what kind of metric are you talking about? When I did…

I'm not sure what your comment is trying to convey. From my experience Meditations is basic and doesn't offer any substance. Popular Stoicism has a lot of legitimate criticism and …

How "subtle and insidious" is it really? I'd say it is shifting the blame of personal responsability to a website. Me and some of my friends use(d) 4chan and we never fell into the…

This might be too nitpicky, but isn't believe exactly what one has in absence of evidence?

4chan and I'm not ashamed of it. Even though it is anonymous you really feel a sense of community. Approach it as a creative writing exercise or as being part of a hive-mind and yo…

I beg to differ, I was interested and looked at flux pro. The rendering is impressive and looks like the output of a larger organization or a dedicated professional. But it's just …

Just the first few notes conjure an image of a slimebag. That kind of person that is only attentive if there is a personal gain to be made. Sometimes they're astoundingly obvious a…

We have to look not far from our own field to see a replication crisis brewing. The results in ML papers are obviously moving in the same direction, all while beating SOTA by minis…

The connection between beauty and pleasantness seems to be much weaker than suggested. There are things that are pleasent and lack any form of particular beauty. To mind come, inte…

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, you're putting forward the notion that the human mind is reducible to matrix-multiplications and gradient descent. This seems like such a strong…

Very human, why should I trust some matrix-multiplication and gradient descent on deeply personal questions. For sure that guy in the mirror looks amicable, but you don't get much …

It is very hard to ignore the instinct of replying to the toxic statement with a sarcastic "no u". Nevertheless I'll try to put this in neutral terms. Hopefully I get my point acro…

Following research instead of the industry would this make a basic fact known for a while.

Another mystical text calls life the ultimate rohrschach test. You're not making (logical) arguments but rather you're showing your hand.

Keeping in line with the style of that comment: No, they're not.

Wouldn't a Transformer LM try to write in a more conversational style?

News of a bad thing happening to someone far away does not really impact survival as well. The point was not about providing a good counter-example. I wanted to show that when one …
