I would be more excited if it wasn't $200 a month to try. I don't feel like OpenAI does a good job of getting me excited either. Find the perfect snowboard? How can that idea get p…

I think sports betting is obnoxious and stupid but I do worry about this moral policing some seem to want to do. The people I know losing money to online sports betting are the sam…

I grew up playing American football and I am pretty well versed on the literature. I live for now and don't put a lot of stock in having a great life after 65. In American football…

Sapolsky's book Determined is really the counter to your post. I don't want to believe what that book says but it is quite a strong argument. It is really too sweeping and complica…

It would be better to have a photographic memory and not need to repeat anything. You are 100% right but have absolutely no point.

Just a completely absurd statement unless by "empowerment" you mean famine, starvation and early death. Empowerment as 30% infant mortality rate. Empowering life long marriage sinc…

I feel like at this point we have to separate LLMs and reasoning models too. I can see the argument against chatGPT4 reasoning. The reasoning models though I think get into some co…

It is also through the exchange rates. USD to CAD has front ran a lot of this already. 1.45 is crazy. The idea Canada can so easily re-route trade is absurd. Especially when the tr…

I always hated Perl. This library does sound interesting and maybe Perl would be less painful for me now with a language model. The article is great right until it gets into the pe…

That is surprising, I don't even remember having to look up that much to use the Anki UI. I make cards on a linux desktop and sync to ankidroid. Really one of my all time favorite …

I think it is both and this is very obvious if you read Pareto and Sapolsky.

It is more than just success too. Most behavior we believe is some kind of rational action when it is really blind actions based on fiction or just completely random with rationali…

The figures I have seen in a trade war with Canada is Canada causes a -.2% hit to US GDP while Canada gets a -2% hit. That is not going to work for Canada. These aren't abuses of p…

I don't really understand what the end game is with Canada here. For Mexico, it seems more like a prod for social policy on immigration and fentanyl. I listened to Trudeau yesterda…

People are stupid. What is censorship to a puritan? It is a moral good. As an American, I have put a lot of time into trying to understand Chinese culture. I can't connect more wit…

It is especially absurd though when you have a business that depends on ROADS. As if the roads just pay for themselves.

It is all the genius really of Duchamp's Fountain from 1917. At this point the conversation is just boring.

It is still curious though as far as what is actually being automated? I find huge value in these models as an augmentation of my intelligence and as a kind of cybernetic partner. …

It is a nuanced point but what is better, a sedan or a truck? I think we are still at that stage of the conversation so it doesn't make much sense. I do think it is a good metaphor…

I had resubscribed to use o1 2 weeks ago and haven't even logged in this week because of R1. One thing I notice that is huge is being able to see the chain of thought lets me see w…

I don't even mind an exclusive community but the idea of begging for an invite is against my very nature.

I think you are confusing pricing and valuation. Anything can be priced and the price can be modeled. Crypto valuation is what doesn't make sense because it is not a cash producing…

Not trying to be ironic but it would be interesting to see what this below would look like in the strange mix form: "If the model's actions involve generating tokens (like in langu…

There is no way this is true. It is just an example of why Reddit is a fucking joke that you should never read. I have seen it infer incredibly obscure things in the chain of thoug…

Because all this with the stock price has nothing to do with reality. Everyone just starts repeating the same things until people believe them as fact. The "sell off" was basically…
