The second sentence both says the same thing twice and actually doesn't make any sense when you parse it.

> Since spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations such as local communities or school environments, spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations such as schools or towns.

The sequence "spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations" appears in exactly that sequence twice in that sentence. If you cut the redundancy down to "spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations", that doesn't make sense either since social media was never restricted to specific locations.

I'm not saying it's definitely written entirely by GPT, but mindlessly repeating sequences is very GPT-like behavior. Maybe academics are using GPT to pad their word count? Or maybe the authors and their editors just need more coffee?
Yet another christian accidentally discovers judaism in scripture
There is a balance/risk here. Companies of that size will face severe legal hurdles based on treatment of different religious, social, economic or ethnic groups. It’s all well and good saying “just start your own”, but I doubt you’ll just go and do so when they exclude you.
When I know what I want in a place I frequent it is super convenient.

It is also super nice if you just there to get quick food and beer and don’t have time to browse menu and expect “dining experience”.

I appreciate your being willing to speak your mind without hiding behind vaguery. We can risk a karma hit together.

You are referring to a myth called "Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria," which has been debunked. Gender identity is not a socially transmitted pathology. I don't believe you meant this in a hateful way, but let me explain what the problem is with this idea. This is sophistry about how LGBTQ people should remain in the closet, or they'll "infect" people, and the evidence is that as we tolerate LGBTQ people more, more of them come out of the closet. It's a reversal of cause and effect, from the same school as "discussing the history of racism is racist".
> since with the recent release of ChatGPT now gives the excuse for managers to be inclined to hire less engineers and programmers as the cheap money has essentially evaporated

I don't understand the relevance of ChatGPT to this.
It reminds me of the old saying “Monkey see .. Monkey do”.

An over simplification perhaps but there is no question we “mimic” all the time.
There is also the same thing with Dissociative identity disorder that had (have ?) a boom after some people from tiktok started to pretend have it
Valuing a business is not easy but it is not hopeless.

Imagine somebody in your family has a grocery store and asks you to invest in it so that they can expand the business.

Do you know them as a person? Do they have track record of being truthful? Frugal with money? Resourceful? Do they have track record of keeping their word and succeeding at projects? Is their store doing better or at least as good as competition? Do their explanations of why they are going to succeed make sense?

Do you have some knowledge about running a grocery store? If you have, this can help you a lot with filtering truth from BS. If you do not, maybe it is worthwhile to get at least a little bit of knowledge?

While you can't predict the future there is a lot of signs of what you can expect from the person or business and if the investment is significant enough you should make sure to get at least some knowledge in the area. Ideally, you would invest in things you have some kind of expertise.
This passage from the abstract:

> Moreover, they can be viewed as the 21st century expression of a culture-bound stress reaction of our post-modern society emphasizing the uniqueness of individuals and valuing their alleged exceptionality, thus promoting attention-seeking behaviours and aggravating the permanent identity crisis of modern man.

is rather peculiar. I didn't expect that this is how neurologists and neuroscientists would speak these days. "Our postmodern society", "permanent identity crisis of the modern man" - these sentiments sound like they've been transplanted from a humanities paper.
My main concern is how to induce specifics in people and start profiting from it :D

Wouldn't it just be wonderfully dystopic if we could induce ticks in people that made them clean the streets and do the grunt work? :D
These illnesses appear to be very real, even if sociogenetic in origin.

Someone researching the same thing has this to say

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/nov/16/the-unknown-is...

>Olvera’s research has not gone down well in some quarters. “I’m frustrated,” she says. “I’ve tried to stop reading a lot of what is written out there.” She’s received “lots” of angry emails. “My colleagues have had a positive response to my research,” she says, “but I don’t know if it’s been perceived appropriately by the public. The last thing I would want is for my patients to walk away from this thinking that their disorder is fake or not worthwhile.”

>Much of the controversy arises from the misapprehension that doctors are accusing young people of faking Tourette’s for attention, or arguing that TikTok is giving people Tourette’s. Neither claim is true. “What the media has boiled it down to,” says Olvera, “is that if it’s not Tourette syndrome, it’s fake. But just because it’s not Tourette syndrome doesn’t mean it’s fake. This is a real condition. Even though it’s not typical Tourette’s, it’s very disruptive and stressful.”
Quote from the article:

Tesla's predicament reminds me of BlackBerry, which also was the darling in a new market for years — until it wasn't. BlackBerry failed to sustain investment in new product innovation and ignored burgeoning market trends until its competition surpassed it. BlackBerry never regained its former glory.
I don’t get the nexus between the release of chatGPT and rising interest rates. Are you implying the former somehow caused the latter?
1. Change ... so that foobar(9) instead prints "yam".

2. Change ... so that foobar(9) also prints "yam"

1 is not ambiguous, but 2 is. It could mean that it does it's original behavior and also does the new behavior. But it could mean like foobar(10), foobar(9) also prints only "yam" as you are interpreting it to be.

I could imagine that the whole point was to see what GPT-3 did with the ambiguity, and it didn't even acknowledge it. Given that the prompt is already ambiguous I'm not sure why you'd assume that there would have to be a single expectation of the order of the prints, either one should suffice.

Or maybe it was just a mistake in the prompt because English is hard. Certainly based on the code, the assumption that GPT-3 made is the most natural one.
I bought 10$ of ETH once about a year ago in the hopes that I could donate to some developers on GitHub. I never used it, and certainly wouldn't hold it for speculation as that is just pumping US cash dollars into a system full of people trying to cash out on a greater fool's scheme.

Anyway, doesn't seem like we are going to see eye-to-eye and no one has the energy to refute the complex uselessness that is crypto-currency. Dan Olson did a better job than I ever could -

https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g

case in point, this fun little copy-pasta you've given us:

"Secondly, I would suggest you try ETH out. With the bubble over, gas fees are back to reasonable values. Buy a hundred bugs of ETH on Coinbase, move that to your Coinbase wallet and store some of it in the AAVE lender contract. While you might lose about $10 in gas fees and Coinbase fees, you’ll earn an interest rate on a decentralized network not involving banks. I found that pretty cool when I tried it for my first time.

The test may be more fun if you happen to know sb willing to sell you ETH directly and guide you through the ramp up phase. "

My favorite part about this is that you deliberately explain _none_ of it (don't worry, I'm really not interested). Do you really think average people know what all this is? Or are you just hoping they'll ask so you can cheerlead each concept individually?
I doubt USA Today made that quote up, since it would open them to significant defamation liability. While I can't find an article with that exact quote, this article is from the right time period and does paraphrase a very similar sentiment as coming from Hertz: https://www.inquirer.com/business/retail/hertz-stolen-car-gr...

I'm regularly getting enquiries but I do DevOps (AWS, Kubernetes and Istio) so I guess my skillset is still in demand.

I guess what's more important for me is the type of work. I'm looking for startup work that's a bit more secure now, if that's possible, lol! Doesn't seem so easy to find.
>Yet they are bound by many laws and regulations, beyond contract law and non-aggression, born of these instincts you malign, that (try to) prevent the worst of their greed

We don't regulate companies to prevent "the worst of the greed" except by some naive definition. We regulate them so they mop up or don't leave messes in their wake, be these messes social or environmental.

Companies don't poison the water or use bad labor practices because they want to. Large organizations (Boeing, the Catholic church, the FBI, etc) don't "want". They respond to incentives. Companies do it because it's less un-profitable than the next best option and to not do that while their competitors do puts them at a disadvantage. Regulation only adjusts the incentive scale.

>You have to ignore all of these constraints to arrive at the simplistic "greed is good" conclusion

You have to ignore the difference between "good" and "can be harnessed for good" to come to that conclusion. You're implying meaning he didn't write because it makes a more easily defeated position.
The root basis for the for all of the fraud Sammie boy engaged in starts with the FTT token.

I think there's two lessons I'd take from Rachel's history as it was given here. The first is that any company that relies on ad revenue is doomed. Selling ads in an ethical way requires you to say no to so many things that advertisers want.

The second is that in the Uber case, from the beginning their disregard for the law was apparent. That should be a good warning sign as well. It's one thing to ignore unjust laws as an individual; we can have moral agency for reasons other than profit. A corporation is solely a prodit seeking machine and if you build disregard for laws it disagrees with into its behavior, you're going to have a bad time.
For any given definition of a neutral stance that aligns itself in the middle of current mainstream political views, I can come up with some views or ideas that would be considered biased by that stance. However, even discussing bias against political views themselves seems like a nonsensical conversation to me.

Bias against a political view is IMHO engaging in nonsense because political views are a personal and subjective matter, and it is impossible for one person or group to be objectively correct or superior to others. Political views are based on individual beliefs, values, and experiences, and are not subject to objective truth or evaluation.

Should we not care about climate change and have the maximum fun until our species just dies off or should we aim for the longevity?

Obviously longevity, right? Right?!

This ends up like discussing the best religion.
Recently read the story of a detransitioner and the statistic that about a third falls of the radar (and due missing their hormones, almost certainly are unhappy about the treatment). Social media are implicated in the spread of these ideas (all ideas), and the detransitioner pleaded for better info from professionals and an end to doctor neutrality for underage trans people.

Changed my mind a bit.

I don't see how privacy can ever be solved with blockchain. By design, everything you ever do is permanently out in the open for ever and ever for anyone to not only see what you did, but mathematically prove that it was you (well, your key at least) that did it.

Sure you can be "anonymous" when using your wallet etc, but as we all know it is usually trivial to de-anonymize large data sets. Likewise, being anonymous when using a wallet then removes a lot of the perceived value of using it for identity verification (e.g. sign-ins, proof of humanity etc).
I originally wrote but removed another paragraph (because I didn't want to make the comment too long) about another wrinkle... The worst production I was part of, which lead to a full year of crunch for my team, started with everyone saying we were way over scoped and then the studio leadership decided, halfway through production, to change the entire campaign to be built around five huge set pieces each of which required months of work to develop bespoke stuff only used in one mission.

Either it is a real issue, in which case, we should have a discussion about it.

Or it is not a real issue, in which case, it is not worth vagueposting about.

Taking the most charitable interpretation, this creates cover for dog whistling while not adding to the conversation.

The other possibility is that it is dog whistling in order to promote bigotry.

Maybe SV’s magic can extend to Tesla software development, but this article seems to discuss the other end of the process. The “bending metal” end of Tesla looks a whole like that of its competitors so competing on compensation and work environment is to be expected lacking high unemployment.
I agree with your examples, though they cannot be said.. Hopefully in a saner future, it becomes possible to have a debate about that again.
Since there is a school of thought that gender to a great extent is socially learned behaviour the idea that you by learning more about gender transgression would "create" a desire that "I would be more comfortable in 'that gender' over there" is not far-fetched although I'm not aware of any research. The issue is mostly by those who pathologize that state of not being comfortable in ones "gender assigned at birth", like saying "...other illnesses such as gender dysphoria" and then wanting to "cure" this dysphoria in other ways than enabling a safe and informed transition. Like for instance banning people talking about their experiences, good and bad, in transitioning.

Can you see my sourced cousin comment?
Vendoring in is also reasonable, although it makes sense to only vendor in code that you understand and can maintain. I would still check the literature for base64 encode/decode in their place, it's not like they are the first who need a fast implementation.
I like that. Elegant and obvious. Profitable companies have lots of people giving them money. Why do they do that? Because they need, want, or will benefit from what the company is selling.
I don't think it does. I understand the implication here being the people affected are suffering from Tiktokitis, i.e. symptoms of a different disease, but caused by social media exposure. Suffering from that isn't going to earn you much compassion or street cred, particularly when the cure is to spend less time on social media.
Counter hypothesis. For the last several decades society put massive pressure on kids to conform to heteronormativity. With these pressures lessening more and more people are feeling empowered to explore their sexuality.

Social media is absolutely involved, but we really don't know what the base rate would be in a society devoid of this kind of pressure.
I interviewed for 1.5 months (!!!) for AWS for a senior position, went through all the stages through the end. Then silence. I kept emailing the recruiters responsible for my interview, I kept getting out-of-office replies. Then I contacted some higher ups I found, told me they assigned my interview to other recruiters. No replies from them though. I have emailed them a bunch of times including the higher up. Then the news about Amazon layoffs got out; I presume they all got fired?

What a gigantic waste of time. Tons of stress for 2-3 months for nothing.
> And you can't stop fads and stimming.

But if they claim it's a disease, and it's clearly spreading through social media, then the obvious measure to stop it from spreading, is to block the channels through which it's spreading.
Tough call since it is also possible a certain number of people have always felt this way but only by others "coming out" do they now feel comfortable expressing themselves as well.
> Either outcome is bad: it's either clickbait (hence loses my trust)

This is fair. I do think it's only suggested in the headline, not the article. I don't trust anyone, though, so the use of clickbait doesn't make me trust him any less. Also, I don't think the article requires trust. It's an idea, a theory, with which you can look at the evidence and decide on your own. Just like any other article out there.

That being said, lack of trust is one of the biggest problems in the world today, by my estimation, so it's not like I'm offering any solution here.

> Evidence accumulates, and opinions are changed.

Agreed in full. I'm not arguing against science or the scientific method. I'm simply saying we need to be aware that adopting the scientific method does not, in it of itself, inoculate us from bias. Which I'm pretty sure is a statement any scientist would agree with, so I'm not sure we're disagreeing about anything at all.
My guess would be either chatGPT convinced JPowell to raise rates, or a large chunk of the world's money supply was spent training chatGPT
That would be the "rapid onset gender dysphoria" controversy, which is so politically charged that lay observers (/me waves) will have a very hard time separating science from ideology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid-onset_gender_dysphoria_c...
I think similarly.

I am wondering how they differentiate this specific extreme behaviour moving "socially," to other subtle behaviours which are copied and mirrored within small tight knit social groups - especially kids / teenagers? I found the 9:1 ratio of girls to boys intriguing, given the same or very similar mechanism might been a huge benefit to females in past ages where they might be married into a strange culture.
This reminds me of the virus in _Snow Crash_ which is spread virtually, but affects its victims physically.
Thanks for this response, by the way! I forgot to reply. This was really helpful.

Is this the reductio ad absurdum of VC culture, whereby founders stop even considering that overall profit is (eventually) an end goal, and that VCs don’t pick from an endless money tree? In the case of FTX, some reports seem to suggest that VCs themselves have lost sight of this
That's an astonishing argument. You argue that companies collaborating with evil regimes to produce oil is good, because... when something happens that means we have to stop buying their oil (Russian invasion of Ukraine)... we're suddenly in a lot of pain?

I come to exactly the opposite conclusion from that.

We'd have been far better off not putting ourselves in that position, i.e. in a position of dependence on those regimes in the first place, not to mention funnelling billions into their treasuries. Countries like Russia and Saudi have been using our cash to prop up their repressive regimes for decades, causing untold pain to their population, building up their military and using those funds to destabilise democracies across the globe.

If we'd put that money into nuclear and renewables instead of being happy to embrace greed (and I'd have been fine with legislation to achieve that) we'd have energy security, we'd be looking at much less devastation from climate change and the world would be in a much better place in general.
This is the precise problem. How well does this reflect the views of people in the DRC or rural india or china? I.E. most of the people on earth. Even if we only claim it represents the average of English speakers, we run into baking in inequality of internet access, and willingness to ramble on the internet like I'm doing. Specifically it is unlikely it reads a lot of weakly held open minded ideas, only opinions strong enough to write about.
Yes this struck me too. I wouldn't describe the language used as 'neutral'.
Exactly! Ask me to prepurchase some amount of resources (say $20 upfront) + limit my capabilities early-on until first invoice.
Holy crap, Augur is still going!

Amazing, they are an OG of the first wave of ICO token..good to see them still operating.

I've stayed out of it the last few years and just maintained a high view of the market.

It seemed obvious to me this was all going to blow up, sad about BlockFi but once I saw them ink the FTX deal I knew they were done.

Too soon for that play... The story of Crypto!
