I asked Chat GPT which antacid medications are contraindicated for some medication I'm on. Easily found through NICE. It made up a severe risk of death taking a very common medicine combo. It was super convincing, even giving information on how long to avoid taking them together. It was pure bullshit. I think as much as hyping the benefits we need to hype the flaws and dangers. If the public at large learn to trust t…
I've been using Bing AI instead of Google for a few days to test it out. It gives responses with citations. A few times already it has hallucinated details that aren't on the cited website at all, but that do sound very plausible (for example something about the horns of a bull pointing up when I asked about the etymology of "bullish".) I think it comes down to the fact that most stuff is actually like 90% bullshit s…
With little kids I am increasingly conscious about how to best equip them for the world when they are adults. I think previous playbook will need to be redrafted. 'Resilience' and 'Critical Thinking' are two things I am thinking are key any others?
Meanwhile my cousing who wasn’t good at studying became a (good) hairdresser and his prospects look better than ours now.
Honestly, I feel worse for checkout girls locally - people are more often replaced by improvements to low hanging fruit, and not the emergence of apparently incomprehensively profound. The truth is that we're impressed by this because it's magic and we don't know how magic - but it still getting way more magic really fucking fast. Right now it's still and idiot if you're not telling it what to do. Hypnotic babble. (I…
The outsourced call center is part of the local economy where they live. In some countries contact centers make up a large fraction of GDP

The key is being rich before AGI hits. I cannot imagine any social mobility after that. And philosophy maybe to find a meaning for their lives in the world where achievements don't exist any more. And don't push them too hard to learn skills that will become obsolete anyway - having a relaxed mind is more important

How is a hammer "not working as expected" if you hit your hand with it? This makes no sense. If I hit my hand with a hammer, what am I supposed to expect except causing pain and injury? If I try to light a cigarette and accidentally set my beard on fire due to my own clumsyness, did the lighter malfunction? No, the lighter did exactly what it was supposed to do, it was my hand that didn't do what I expected.
If you want to continue with semantics, the worker did not expect to hit his thumb until the hammer bounced off of it, hence the tool did not work as expected. Until regular hammers are able to put nails into wood by themselves, we are talking about the success of the complete system that includes both the hammer and its user. Either way, when working with humans we already deal with plenty of misses and mistakes. Pr…
Do you think a carpenter who hits themselves with a hammer blames the hammer or themselves? Or are you going to unironically tell me they would blame the hammer + human system?
