Just makes it look like people jump on the virtue signalling bandwagon when they espouse opinions that aren't broadly consistent with their actions. Like eating beef several times …

That's a lot of emotional words without a single bit of context from the actual article. Your comment is better suited to FOX news' website.

The fact that you can unironically put the "only" modifier on a training time of 2.8 million GPU hours is nuts.

This is incorrect. They will quite often claim that it is possible to do without breaking encryption, as required for banking and such. They do believe it is possible to have a bac…

A speech he very well may have watched live.

This is such a hilariously bad take given how much advertising is targeted towards "the poor" to extract what little they have. Gambling ads, exploitative financial services, unhea…

That doesn't seem like holding two opposing thoughts. Why is balancing contradictory actions to optimize an outcome different to weighing pros and cons?

Which thing can you do that does not serve the purpose of generating desirable brain activity?

Classic failure to establish a (close to) pareto optimal regulatory structure to avoid ending up in the self-organizing Nash equillibrium which is worse for everyone. The Price of …

Localization and dubbing is a sad endeavour. By trying to accomodate everyone's individual preference for information transmission we accomplish nothing more than reducing our abil…

You expect the person whom you just called an arrogant narcissist to agree with you? Good luck with that.

The terms used to describe the modern technology are derived from early neuroscience going back to the late 19th century. Our understanding of how biological neural networks operat…

I think it is interesting that you are imposing a value judgment on the humanist spiritual belief being better than the "reductionist" one through your adjective usage. It is perfe…

What makes you believe it is wrong? Can you construct an argument which does not require the existence of a supernatural "divine"? If you presuppose such things exist, of course we…

Do you feel attacked? Nobody is above anyone. Seems like that's your defensiveness reading something between the lines which isn't implied.

Humans are very good at pretending we are more than just biological machines acting according to genetically imposed network structure refined by lifetime history of training input…

Works as long as you don't think too deeply about why exactly you're doing that.

Cold is preferable to scorching heat. There's a hard limit to how many layers you can remove, not how many you can wear.
