The current situation in the US is the depressing thing- articles like this give me hope. Real Americans aren't having these BS authoritarian violations of our constitutional right…

Any change in behavior? Is that a joke? Setting aside the masked men terrorizing our communities, immigrants are being literally tortured inside camps across the country. They are …

Nah, it's your support for lawless authoritarianism because you think it will improve your safety- that's the part you missed in history class. That's the con you are falling for. …

Setting aside their lawlessness, it sounds like we agree they are unidentifiable, meaning their identity is a secret. So they are a secret police. And you support that for some rea…

Then why are they wearing masks?

If you think authoritarianism will lead to order and peace, you're gonna have a bad time. The presence of a secret police is already causing wide scale violation of our constitutio…

These things destroy local communities. But none of the locals have access to the fuhr

They have already detained many citizens. They are not following our standard laws.

How does it sell a basic protocol that anyone can use?

Liquid glass is gorgeous. But it's hard to reconcile next level design like this with complete disasters like Apple TV. Maybe spend some time on getting the fundamentals right too,…

As I noted, this post is saying AI can't achieve "genius" level creativity. Just a year ago the criticisms were that it couldn't match a human. How is that not moving the goalposts…

Hey look, the goalposts are being moved again. This time it's from top end researcher to generational genius. Question: what evidence is there that this benchmark will not be reach…

So Deep Research and the latest reasoning models don't deserve mention here? I wish there was accountability on the internet, so that people posting stuff like this can be held acc…

Advertising has gotten out of control. What's bizarre to me is that the people violating us are literally the ones who want something from us. Is there no way to boycott anyone adv…

What does that mean?

Typo: "Your pay your taxes into the system" Sorry to be this way.

Awesome comment. I've written a piece here about the relationship between AI and human consciousness. Would love some feedback if you're able. Thanks! https://peterholmes.medium.co…

You are asking two different questions here. In house vs contractors is one. The second is whether you should be using a third party product. My advice would be to continue using c…

I was basing my number on Wolfram's work here: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-... "In human brains there are about 100 billion neurons (nerve cells), e…

No? The human brain has ~100 billion neurons and ~1 trillion connection weights. Google’s PaLM uses ~540 Billion nodes with ~100 trillion connection weights. And the key point is t…

That's precisely my point. The database connections involved in a neural network are the corollary, not transistors. What am I missing?

The machines will be much faster than us, and soon. So what's your point?

“The high connectivity [in a human brain] is very different from that found in the central processing unit of any digital computer, where one transistor typically connects to a han…
