@netcapgirl Also not under hyped per se, but the fact that I can FaceTime or zoom someone on the actual opposite side of the world with very little latency and a crystal clear connection is bonkers.

@Lillipad102 It's okay to feel angry and embarrassed. People mean well when they come into the comments with encouragement, but it sucks to go through that and it's okay to let yourself feel all of it. That said, if you need to sit down with someone and talk about the next try, HMU.

@PicoPaco17 while it’s true that not everyone can be as dominant at a sport as Tom Brady simply through hard work, it’s a far more dangerous self-deception to tell yourself you aren’t capable of greatness and therefor you shouldn’t try to be consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.

@ptrckwnsch @OpenAI you should leave europe instead of blaming a private company in California for the draconian regulations you live with. just move.

@mcneilly_alex You're more likely to regret the things you don't do than the things you do. Live your 20s with an open and curious mind and you'll look back on that time fondly later in life. Also highly recommend moving somewhere new if you've mostly lived in the same place growing up.

Lawyer here, my thoughts on the Elon Musk v Sam Altman, Gregory Brockman, and OpenAI lawsuit. I read the entire petition so that you don't have to!👇. tl;dr: Elon wants the court to label GPT-4 and Q* as AGI, preventing Microsoft from profiting from these models. He additionally.

@alanzeino Easily the most important thing Apple has done in the last ten years other than MAYBE the early emphasis on consumer privacy.

@dieworkwear Another point I didn’t see in the thread: you can do a lot to change up your style by wearing a different dress shirt or tie or no tie or a pocket square etc to dress up or dress down a suit that is meant to go together.

@raywongy Apple figured out the best form (yet) factor for ear buds. Whether Samsung purposefully copied them or not, this is their acknowledgement that Apple was correct all along. That said, look at their other new releases. They’re all copy paste jobs. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

@netcapgirl The average American has visited 12-17 states, which is approximately the same amount of travel as someone in Europe visiting 5-10 countries, but the euro mind cannot comprehend this because they just don't understand how big America is.

@Codie_Sanchez This is so misleading. Are these weddings all occurring within a 30 minute drive? Even just a 30 minute drive means the total time investment is over two hours, and that’s not including loading up or maintaining the arches. Factor in mileage, the time spent negotiating these.

A short list of features the first iPhone lacked at launch:. * Copy paste.* 3g.* Swappable battery.* External memory cards.* MMS. All of this a compromise to deliver a keyboard-less phone experience. People scoffed and berated Apple and early adopters. Then, pretty quickly, the.
Today, the first public reviews about the Humane Ai Pin are now available for you all to read, In my career, I’ve worked on several 1.0 products you’ve probably used—the first iPhone is chief among them—and so I’ve been through this before. Let me run down some of the thoughts.

@KelseyTuoc I don’t practice in this area of law, but I don’t see how this is legal unless it is mentioned in part of the initial employment agreement. Otherwise, the employee could simply say no thanks, take any vested stock they earned, and sue OpenAI if anything were withheld from them.

@PalmerLuckey it’s not an execution problem, it’s a conceptual and logical problem. there is no good version of a health insurance company no matter how noble the folks are running it because the interests of the company and the client are fundamentally adverse.

@colin_fraser This prompt is interesting but I don’t think it’s because it reveals a lack of reasoning. I hypothesize that what it actually reveals is how much training data can influence the output of an LLM. This prompt is a twist on a classic logic problem that does require three trips, and.

My take on the lawsuit: I think there's some real merit to Musk's arguments. It's obvious that OpenAI will argue they haven't achieved AGI yet, but that joke from sama on reddit may come back to haunt him. A lot of this hinges on what we accept as a definition of AGI. It's.

@MindBranches 1. Is false. Being polite and professional to LLMs has been proven to promote better and more thorough results. (Along with a bunch of other linguistic tricks.).

@JG4Justice This is crazy! Great point. I also wonder how many potential Olympic swimmers just get sniped by coaches from other sports early in their development. Not to take anything away from your point or from swimming, but the most athletic people are often pushed to play football or.

@Aella_Girl They did this for blue checks and then found that people who hide their likes liked a lot more content. Their thinking now is that allowing people to opt out of hiding likes will just reduce engagement.

@8teAPi I think 4o with native multi modality is early AGI, but listening to the most @dwarkesh_sp pod, I’m now convinced that the roadmap to more advanced AGI is just increasing coherency over time. In other words, 4o might be (probably is) smarter than me for 5 minutes or less, and.

@Ryanth3nerd @heyalexfriedman Most people have extremely, shockingly low agency. Having a taste maker like Taylor Swift wear something takes all of the agency out of the purchasing decision. She’s cool, she’s wearing it, so it’s cool if I wear it, too. No agency required. Also, I’m not intending to be.

This morning I was able to get my Ai Pin to help me write a talk title and description for an upcoming ABA talk, revise it, then post the title and description to a note for easy access from my computer. Super useful.
