The current consensus is that the effects of social media on mental health are in between minimally detrimental to non-existent.

Expensive and Google doesn't even have enough resources to decently deploy a model like that. Creating 10 images in parallel gives me RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error, which is a painfully…

I think it's pretty safe to assume they are not losing money on inference.

> Pretty much every person in every culture cares deeply about their children. I would substitute "deeply" for "superficially". Like, if my parents found some way to prohibit porn …

Companies who could see it clearly and ignored the "AI is a bubble duh" crowd will ultimately get benefited by the GPUs they already acquired. The companies who acted cautiously wi…

I like you.

Last time I checked there's no scientific consensus if social media causes harm at all. The best studies found null or very small effects. So yeah, I am skeptical it is harmful.

I have no idea where this idea that Internet is toxic to children is coming from. Is that some type of moral panic? Weren't most of you guys children/adolescents during the 2000's?…

The equivalence of emotions to reward functions seem pretty obvious to me. Emotions are what compel us to act in the environment.

Idk, we seem to be the at the cusp of autonomous driving. Transportation is like ~8% of world's GDP. Payroll is, what, 30% of that? It seems like we can already have the return on …

Yeah, I suspect the reason the author didn't find a relationship between IQ and happiness / life satisfaction is probably because those studies were overcontrolling for intermediat…

Contributing to human welfare through technological advances and productivity gains is a much better place to deposit my hopes and emotions, imo.

It's honestly not that deep. If AI increases productivity, we should accept it. If it doesn't, then the hype will eventually fade out. In any case, having attachment to the craft i…

Looks like you are correct.

The problem with this approach to text generation is that it's still not flexible enough. If during inference the model changes its mind and wants to output something considerably …

Things are already going severely wrong in 1% of the cases. At this point not getting a second opinion from an LLM is irresponsible, imo.

I did create benchmarks and simulated impact following different scenarios (including the one I was advocating for). Unfortunately that was received in deaf ears. Even worse, actua…

Even with all these tools available, big companies would still be unable to compete in speed simply because in 99% of cases they don't have the required culture set in place.

This is a good strategy, imo. I was following it for almost a year and I was having a blast working in a startup. Then a new manager came along and started to dictate how things sh…

Food can also indirectly enhance opioid signaling. What's your point?

Tbh, it's not clear that if we all stopped drinking the world would be better.
