    Not liking an experience is always due to a mix of internal and external factors - the key is to disambiguate these. It's possible you don't like being alone primarily because of t…

    Stupid question: Why can't models be trained in such a way to rate the authoritativeness of inputs? As a human, I contain a lot of bad information, but I'm aware of the source. I t…

    Designers should feel the "need to be original", in the sense that every project is different, and can be looked at with fresh eyes. Perhaps a project is 50% similar to existing pr…

    Yep. I'm not quite sure what he's up to. He takes all these interviews and basically says nothing. What's his objective? My guess is he wants OpenAI to become a household name, and…

    I found this statement by Sam quite amusing. It transmits exactly zero information (it's a given that models will improve over time), yet it sounds profound and ambitious.

    Maybe an odd take, but I'm not sure what people actually mean when they say "AI terrifies them". Terrified is a strong wrong. Are people unable to sleep? Biting their nails constan…

    Does knowing an AI can do something reduce our enjoyment of doing that thing ourself? I don't know if we have enough data/experience to say. An example in my own life: an AI I'm su…

    This is interesting. So is the person writing here is one of these personalities? Or are "you" watching one of these personalities writing? If the former, are there any personaliti…

    There's an argument to be made that learning to have hard conversations with friends/family is a useful skill, and also builds closeness and trust over time.

    Agreed. Seems to me the simplest explanation is that our bodies were calibrated over years of evolution eating "real" foods. Processed foods of any kind are significantly less like…

    I think there is a technical and experiential aspect to these 3 elements. I think the technical aspect can be met, but perhaps it's equally true that the experience of trust etc wi…

    This is advocating revenge, and being pleased to see someone suffer. Imagine she had a breakdown due to stress and her life went off the rails - would you feel that was fair? How m…
