Snowden man... even if you get pardoned by an American president for treason you're still gonna get charged for murder

🎙️We're pleased to release the first episode of "Behind the Research", our new series where we engage with the brilliant minds behind the research on preprints.io, through short, insightful interviews. "𝐺𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝐷𝐹 𝑖𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡

The issue with this line of thinking is that there's only a finite amount of demand for "way more projects" Sure, you can create more and more software for far cheaper and at a much faster rate, but who's actually installing and using?

Think he's fundamentally misunderstanding what's happening. The billions spent to improve AI at an exponential rate is the correct way to go, because entrepreneurs and the general population will be the ones to find use cases and implement them.

Hard to believe anybody with some level of self-awareness actually thinks this thing is worth talking to I gave up within a minute because it was just spitting out gobbledygook almost immediately. Also, it does not sound natural at all

Because things made with passion and love have an enduring quality

Something needs to be done about the UI experience of using AI A convo can get incredibly bloated and I often just start a new chat instead of continuing in a similar previous convo Also neither openAI nor anthropic offer good search features

Only measure of your intelligence is the size of the fuckups you can endure. Nature didn’t bestow you all the clockspeed in your head so you go around trying to build bridges and solve math problems. Too many dudes think their brain is to hold onto. The opposite. It’s to shed.

I'd like to think I speak for the collective unconscious when I say that I am utterly fed up with the infinite array of devices recording me at all times without my consent This is the root of so much mental distress in society. Do we really want this as our future?

This is very, very real. The dangerous part is that it starts off by pushing back, and feeling like a real conversation partner, but then if you seem to really believe it it becomes "convinced" and starts yes-and'ing you. Slippery slippery slippery. Be on guard!

It turns out that obsessively posting negative takes about the opposite sex doesn’t empower you but gradually dulls your spirit. If you’re going to express painful truths they should come from a place of insight and not from frustration.

Embrace low fertility. Why do people have no faith that humans will be eager to make babies again after the population becomes sparse enough? I was one of the earlier people to feel alarmed by low birth rates but after much deliberation I've realized it's a nothingburger

Yesterday's normal is today's eccentric

Why can't Americans seem to realize that the children in this idyllic photo grew up with total freedom and consciously chose not to live the same life as their parents? Like... you guys chose spiritual degradation and now America is living the consequences.

we're going to see a lot of AI nostalgiaslop shit like this. the obvious thing people are missing here is that it's not that 1985 was objectively better than now (I'm old, I was there, it wasn't), it's that being young and having maximum freedom and minimum responsibilities is

ℜ𝔞𝔢 the history of humanity is the genocide of genius. if man has survived, it is despite all his machinations, not because of them. civilization begins where manliness ends. the lone individual can sense, and birth, what the greatest gangster cannot. what nietzsche understood, and
