I don't think consolidation is the issue here, so anti-trust doesn't make a lot of sense. There are at least five major US companies strongly competing with each other. The issue i…

This is a bit of a "broken clock is right eventually" sort of thing, though. I could say without any evidentiary basis "there will be a financial crisis" for years and eventually b…

No, the two interventions are unrelated. Every indication is that they thought Iran would be a quick war with minimal impact on oil markets. Even if they did think the Strait of Ho…

>This is a label applied from outside I don't think this is accurate. Most rationalists seem to self-describe as rationalists, and talk about rationalism as a "thing". There is som…

It looks like I misremembered a bit. The first iteration that blew up was AI Dungeon 2 (probably this link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21717022 ), which he apparently had…

Was this AI Dungeon? If I recall correctly, it was popular as a way to access GPT-3 which wasn't available publicly.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about posting a dupe. Announcement vs release is different enough, and people are clearly interested in it. I didn't link it as any sort of admonition; there w…

>If there had been no major regressions, do you think anyone would have complained? If there had been the same regressions but no AI, do you think there would be a 300 post issue f…

I loved that demo, but the problem with "monitor as a window into the world" is that monitors are relatively small and people don't sit very close to them. The FOV you obtain with …
