First, both of you must agree on one definition of AGI. I'd be willing to wager that you can't.

AI music makes my head feel like I'm wearing noise cancelling headphones. That sort of weird 'pressure' sensation. It's as if even the silent bits are still pushing on my eardrums.…

> Don't glamorize it too much in your head If you find yourself starting to glamorize it just remember what it's like to share toilets with 25 strangers, some of whom have poor hab…

I did the math during COVID. I was putting in about 30% more hours when I had to go to an office, and all of them were unproductive. I wasn't being paid any extra to do that - whic…

That's an interesting perspective. It all starts to get a little too semantics oriented for my taste, but I think the basic idea you're proposing is that the beliefs live in what t…

Typically from C-levels who offer intuitive seeming, but internally inconsistent goals. For example, "We need to increase sales and decrease spending" might be two inconsistent goa…

That's a very clever approach. Any idea about the papers title or authors? I'd love to look it up.

With MOE you train a router designed to select which parts to activate. The router itself is a trained neural network and the 'experts' are usually not really things like 'python'.…

Capability in LLM's is distributed throughout the manifold in subspaces. Even worse, the subspaces exist in superposition. That is to say, there is no single 'python' part of the m…

> Theoretically someone who specialized in that topic has a higher chance of "getting it right", or sussing it better than people who aren't as versed in that subject. Exactly so. …

Reminds me a bit of qubes OS with different motivation.

I only recently learned that most peoples beliefs are not "factual beliefs". Since most of mine are, I thought that's how other people work. I think Popper may have made the same m…

Agreed, but also: Just because they're crazy, it doesn't mean they're wrong.

Any manager who doesn't push back when given a perverse incentive should be fired. They are not leaders, they are followers... And not even very good followers.

I think I get it? A belief is something that some people do, to other it is something that was done to them. I remember it being like that was I was a child and one day realizing t…

This statement seems to align with the world the way I've observed it to be, and I'd never considered it this way before. It really would explain a lot if true. So is the theory th…

I don't speak German, so I had to machine translate it... but I don't see anything about anyone counting on AI to magically solve climate change in that reference. I've seen a few …

I doubt that any reasonable person is actually counting on that. It's a new, and potentially very lucrative, technology. Given time the cost will go down, not up. The way that will…

> Apparently the people who called LLMs parrots got it wrong, they instead turn people into them, mindlessly repeating whatever the labs want them to. Being rude about it doesn't m…

I wonder if this is the evidence of the labor market decoupling from "the economy" in terms of economic productivity? Folks keep predicting it. Maybe it's starting?

I suspect that even his proponents knew better, they just didn't care as much about the economy as they did culture wars nonsense and religious woo-woo.

You are bad at it. Don't get mad, get good. edit: https://share.gemini.google/hvH2A3Yva5Uj First try.

Scalzi has developed an almost religious sort of dogmatic hatred of AI. He seems to acknowledge none of the benefits, even those that are obvious. Likely because he feels it's harm…

North Americans mostly do not use electricity for heat in the winter. Around 60% use natural gas with forced air furnaces. Something closer to 80% have the option, but 20% don't bo…
