Incredible work. I am just learning about PyBoy from your project, and it made me think of many fun ways to use that library to play Pokemon autonomously.

Wow-- this is so cool. Maybe someone can fix that MissingNo glitch I kept running into as a kid? ;)

Wow-- props to Professor Hayes. This guy is a role model for researchers!

Well, those three people have billions of dollars between them. So they count for something.

Agreed. The more unique situations I program in, whether it is new people I am building software for or whether I am building on a new tech stack, the more I realize why so many pa…

If anyone here has an issue with their Claude Desktop app seeing the new MCP tools you've added to your computer, restart it fully. Restarting the Claude Desktop app did NOT work f…

I am not sure how these large companies think they will reach "greater-than-human" intelligence any time soon if they do not create systems that financially incentivize people to s…

I think it is reasonable to believe humans will use all three technologies as a means to an end. I think the user you replied to was more concerned about that, from my understandin…

I think Jake Sullivan's protectionist philosophy is super old school. I'm not a huge fan since it's just more Cold War-era policies coming out of Biden's cabinet. I'm speaking abou…

Is the border an actual problem though? Specifically speaking to the US border. Is migration the number one problem that Americans struggle with? Or even in the top ten concerns, y…

Good point. Maybe the hosts are assuming mathematicians and other folks will benefit from LLMs or the o1 OpenAI model? Kind of like raising the bar based on the technology availabl…

Should Claude users interpret this as a prelude to a new release? Or is their post clarifying the responsible scaling policy and trying to intrigue folks who might fit Anthropic we…

What happens to the unhealthy Americans? What happens to the Americans who are too poor they cannot pay health insurance and the cost of medicine/surgery. I think only the wealthie…

Honestly, it's disgusting. Have these people even read the white papers that Google releases? They are mostly marketing pieces. When systems and technologies are not publicly repro…

Are experts helping kids use ChatGPT as a tool to learn? Or are we giving kids powerful tools with little instruction? I have a feeling that is an unintentional #2 that dominates r…

Why can't the MMO with a town of NPCs have an intelligence agency too?

What about the people, in Russia, right now, that are actively creating culture? Parties in control of a government are not the people of that country, they are only a small subset…

Hmm, I think you are correct, and from my perspective, speaking to the idea of human heuristics and biases. Ironically, I think societies and cultures need long periods of peace (n…

I think diplomacy itself can help gear a country to defend itself by creating powerful allies who will come in a time of need. At the same time, I do not think there is any justifi…

There is a little-known actor... oh what was his name again? Oh yeah, Martin Sheen-- He narrated a documentary covering the effects of a tribe being downwind from a nuclear testing…

Rest in peace, Jake. His blog post recently was moving and eye-opening. If you are in the headspace for tough topics, read it and you won't regret it.

Have you ever had a Hertz Donut?

I almost commented the same thing. Framing things as "good/bad/so-so" is kind of moving the target. If we are focusing on who might use the model, rather than considering that when…

It seems like some folks in this thread are conflating globalization with ultra-powerful organizations using their capital and influence to spread to the rest of the world. Other c…

I think the word gentrify makes a lot more sense, good point. I think mixing human cultures can be very complex (human social culture is certainly some form of a complex system) an…
