Yes and correct me if I'm wrong, but they never did deeper work on dynamics. I think that's very telling.

It's probably because they hit a dead end with their approach in terms of improvements. You can only get so far with trying to model a physical system with an insane number of degr…

Capitalism uglifying the world that tiny bit more, so long as we can squeeze some more $$$ out of poor impressionable people...

This is the kind of rational you arrive to, if you spend too much time in feminist circles and never bother to actually try to understand the other side. I can assure you that nobo…

To be fair, this is only true in western countries. It's not true, in for example Russia or China. Or to be more accurate, in Russia and China, no matter how many hundreds of billi…

One possibly positive side effect is that by sidelining the working and middle classes, the political landscape would pit the rich against the fuck-you-rich. It would be interestin…

Look, I'm not even a millionaire, and I will never be a billionaire, but in an alternate reality in which I'm a centibillionaire, one of my chief aims would be to limit the politic…

All the frontier labs are lobbying hard to lock down the AI market, because they see that their position at the top is temporary and that there's no secret sauce.

Here's a shower thought. BTC essential is worth $70k solely through the power of memes. Can TSLA and SPCX remain overvalued (relative to the revenue of their respective underlying …

What "charming personality", lol? Nerds always had a higher than average probability of being total assholes. That has always been my experience.

IDK about Argentina, but the US, Australia and Canada went through the whole cycle post WWII. At first they opened up their borders because they were in need of workers. However, a…

To me it seems like EU countries are independently embarking on the Canada-policy of importing a whole bunch of South East Asians and Latin Americans. From Hungary to Ireland, you …

It's basically the V8 of electric motors. Different topology results in better power to weight ratio. From the outside they look pancake shaped.

Lack of sleep, not because of phones but because of more demanding lives due to modern education and workplace demands. Phones might contribute too, but consider how normal it is t…

I don't think they are even referring to gradient descent here. I think they are referring to systems like AlphaEvolve where they use LLMs to give an informed/heuristical guess to …

OK, this is just ridiculous now. Cut it with all this "all you need" crap. I'm only commenting on the title. I like their work.

Nah, I think that's a bit of a cop-out. Capitalism heavily incentivizes competition at the detriment of everything else. You can talk about moral duties all you want, but in a hype…

The Catholic Church has at present no answer to that question. The contemporary political-economic stance of the Catholic Church is based on economic liberalism and capitalism and …

1) Definitely NOT happening. In fact, everyone is working on autonomous drones right now. 2) LLM based systems don't have any internal logic. That will just vomit some slop that ra…

I grew up Catholic, and I don't regonize myself or any of my Catholic upbringing in anything you wrote, at all.

If you can't fight them, join them. That's completely meaningless. Of course everyone will be doing their best to try to be the one who is AI-augmented rather than AI-replaced, but…

Political and economic ramification aside, if we truly create ASI, that severely reduces the value of humanity. We essentially give birth to our enslavers and eventually humanity w…

The people who are most struggling are juniors and unions generally do not help, but rather hinder hiring of juniors.

That's what I'm saying. It's a misdiagnosis. Whether or not they have tantrums should not be a factor in whether or not they are high-functioning or low-functioning.

What's more plausible? Did they cure low functioning autism in two years? Or did they simpily miscategorize the kids and the kids grew out of their diagnosis as they matured?
