Yup. If there is a crash, those with cash and understanding will clean up. AI is eating the world, period.

Benjamin Franklin said the same in his autobiography. I wonder if Gore Vidal had read it.

> I could well be wrong about this :) Exactly. You assume and imply for most of your comment that the OP is wrong about his premise. But people aren’t equally wrong about things. S…

You would be steel-manning his essay if you assume he’s right in these arguments. Unless you believe that no position is more correct than another or that no one is more often corr…

I noticed recently it’s cool to match the color of your vehicle to your house

Right so it’s gonna be a litmus test for knowledge workers going forward if they can separate style over substance. Genai tells are style. You have to be able to evaluate the ideas…

It’s both

of course you don’t wanna go through somebody else’s orifice

I don’t know, but it’s kind of boring to speculate since computers easily beat us at chess and go.

The reason you want to enforce a culture of collaboration is because that’s how you bubble up the smart people. The alternative is gatekeeping and cronyism.

Thank you for your service. Hopefully something like this can put pressure on airlines to understand how hostile their internet services are and that it matters. Last year I flew r…

My aunt is 80 and thank goodness she has an iPhone. She’s bedridden and spends all day on it. She has no children but I lived with her for a while when I moved out of my parent’s, …

Or is learning web development an impediment to learning AI?

It’s funny how those incentives are so well aligned.

Awesome! This is exactly what I wanted last year when I was helping my wife with her reporting and the only access she had to her company's application database was through Redash.…

If you can imagine, say, being imprisoned in a 10x10 cell for the rest of your life, and how that would affect your own internal sense of "free will", I think you'll realize it's n…

I've been keeping a running gag with my acquaintances over YouTube's recommendations for a while now, because they're so improbably and time-sensitively on the nose. Yesterday was …

It's not an illusion any more than Vegas odds are an illusion. Free will is the (correct) perception by an agent that its actions can't be predicted by other agents. My guess is th…

I mean, kind of follows from the premises, no? Pessimistic thinking is logically linked with lower cognitive abilities too. Balanced thinking is that which makes the best predictio…

Ah, great hypothesis.
