Andrej inspires millions. He’s the Taylor Swift of AI/NNs. I really hope he’s next gig is at an actually Open AI company.

I think, Michael Jordan of AI is a much better comparison, in terms of work required, pain he has to go through, determination, contribution to the world, being a role model, etc...

Michael Jordan is already taken as a username in the AI space.

Let me say, he's a great teacher! I took a CV class with him. He should teach more, and take it seriously. Being a popular AI influencer is not necessarily correlated with being a good researcher though. And I would argue there is a strong indication that it is negatively correlated with being a good business leader / founder. Here's to hoping he chills out and goes back to the sorely needed lost art of explaining co…

> it probably screws with a person to have their tweets get b-lined to the front page of hackernews

Just a friendly heads-up, it’s “bee-lined.”

I normally wouldn’t point that out, but “b-lined” could be read to suggest the opposite of your intention; a lower priority, a la “B-list celebrity.”

Great point. How did I miss that? He's been a bit quiet lately, so not on top on the mind. I don't not how far should we push the spots analogies. Kobe Bryant? Geoff Hinton would be Pele then, in terms of uniqueness.

Become the next 3blue1brown. He has inspired many. Here's a gem of educator. Check out his other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhYqflvJMXc

easier said than done 3b1b's main selling point is the extreme level of polish on his visualizations - something that takes a lot of time (money) to develop the sad part is that it takes extreme luck to make it on yt. i wish educating skills counted for more but unfortunately they don't, really.

3b1b's animations are certainly important but his main selling point is his thoughtful explanations of mathematics -- the topics, approaches, and words.

Put in a different context: The exploits are out there. Are you saying we shouldn't publish them? Deepfakes are going to become a concern of everyday life whether you stop OpenAI from generating them or not. The cat is out of the proverbial bag. We as a society need to adjust to treating this sort of content skeptically, and I see no more appropriate way than letting a bunch of fake celebrity porn circulate. What sca…

You probably don't care about the porn cause I'm assuming you're a man, but it can ruin lives too.

It can only ruin lives if people believe it's real. Until recently, that was a reasonable belief; now it's not. People will catch on and society will adapt.

It's not like the technology is going to disappear.

Perhaps just me, but responses are way worse than it was few months ago. Now the system just makes shit up and says "Yes you are right" when you catch it on BS. It is practically unusable and I'll likely cancel paid plan soon.

It was always like this ("Now the system just makes shit up and says 'Yes you are right' when you catch it on BS."). The scales are just falling from your eyes as the novelty fades.

While what you say may well be true, I do have reasonably objective observations of it's deterioration with making up BS.

Convinced hey do it on purpose.

(and congrats!)

I don't understand what you were posting in this thread but can you please stop posting unsubstantive comments? You've been doing it repeatedly, and it's not what this site is for (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

I actually banned your account for a moment but then double-checked and saw that you have occasionally posted good things, such as:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36730089

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33939300

... so I unbanned you. But if you'd please stick to high-quality posts in the future, we'd appreciate it!

I mean, the same applies to scams, scams only work if people believe them.

That doesn't explain why deals weren't reached with the previous governments of Israel.

Sure it doesn't explain that. Would be nice if things were that easy wouldn't it?

Generally if a main roadblock is removed, you can get a little farther down the road.
