very very good point. and anecdotally, i think it's indeed the case for gender dysphoria...

btw, not long ago there was a sociologist from columbia, working on the autism epidemics, pointing out how autism is "contagious" among parents https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0003122411399389 - so it's not for the first time that we point out at the sociogenesis of mental illness
They ware a perfectly rational actor so far, Europe and the west in general has mostly just spouted empty platitudes and always blinked first.

Nothing happened with the two Chechenyan wars, with Georgia, nobody did anything about Syrian cities being bombed to rubble and the 2014 sanctions post-Crimea ware rather weak.

During that time everybody continued to buy gas, oil, electricity, fertilizer, aluminium and titanium.
Clearly, the west did not care about things like that and it would be business like normal.

Except that this time it was found out there's a limit.
This is the direct outcome of "political correctness", and of silencing people that disagree with you.

Even suggesting the fact that mass sociogenic illnesses (formerly called mass hysteria) primarily affect girls [1] goes against the new religion and is vilified immediately.

That would ban cash machines wouldn't it?

I can see the need for a "non tech user" account for old people. Why not just mandate that as an option and let those of us happy with apps (which I think are much more secure than websites because you cannot divert/phish them) get on with it?
I suspect this game was kind of easy?

I only had the chance to play it at a friends' house, and I remember me trying to just building turrets... all the way to the enemy base. And I won with that very silly strategy. You were not able to freely place buildings so that's why I just built a thin wall of turrets all the way, expanding the fingerprint of "my" base.
Firstly, to say any political belief is "scientifically accurate" is a gross misunderstanding of both science and political beliefs.
Best definitions for both I have found are:

-Science = the search for the best explanation given available information [1].

-Political belief = shared myths through which we agree society should be organized [2]

Secondly, don't discount bias in science. Once a paradigm is established, good luck breaking it, especially for complex subjects. It usually takes decades (e.g., DNA is the genetic material, microbiomes are a thing, even relativity).

A more appropriate framing to your statement is "The current paradigms trend what modern society considers left, providing the political lens throughout which researchers interpret their results. Therefore, this big statistical model we call an AI leans 'left'."

I think that characterising once thoughts around once gender as a social illness is deeply disrespectful against those individuals.
The reason why we know having no father figure leads to a higher chance of committing violent crime is not some kind of guesswork of causality, it is because it is the best predictor.

We're building on Ethereum. Live projects for customers for 18 months.

The product is an NFT which gives you legal ownership of an underlying physical object when you buy it. An individually numbered bar of gold in a vault. A scarce collectible. Real estate.

The real estate thing is interesting: transfer time goes down from around 4 months in the UK to a couple of days. The only delay is the KYCAMLCTFPEPOFACT checking: if that's done as a pre-clearing step the transfer of real estate will be instantaneous. It took several years to build this capability.

You choose security and decentralization for the main chain and then use layer 2 for performance. This is the clear path forward, pretty well established by now.
I've seen more criticism of facial recognition surveillance on the grounds that it is less accurate for some races, than on the grounds that, if it worked perfectly, it would result in a massive loss of freedom, so this is no strawman:

This brings to mind one of my rules about conservative panics:

If laws against witchcraft are removed and/or witchcraft is destigmatized and then all the sudden there appears to be an explosion of witches, the explanation is probably not that hordes of people are adopting witchcraft.

I'll leave it to the reader to guess the simplest and most likely explanation.
What boggles my mind is that people who adamantly claim that all gender behavior is socially constructed are the ones who are the first to denounce the idea that you can learn to want to be another gender.

When I was in high school, one of the "popular" kids used to talk a bit odd on purpose and sure, it generated a bit of a chuckle at first, but he kept doing it and a lot of kids also adopted a similar vocal tic to seem like they were part of the cool group as well. Monkey see, monkey do.
That's only because you don't give it just a single prompt like you would with a human during conversation. When you add a new sentence, what you're actually doing is giving it the whole history of your conversation with your new sentence appended at the end, so it always analyzes the whole before returning a new answer. It doesn't remember context between prompts, it's only the UI that makes you think it does.

It's good to think about these models as eager cosplayers of any role you set up in your prompt. In this case, it sees its own past replies, so it cosplays an AI that gave these answers before. You could edit its past replies and override its "personality" this way.

Basically you can make transactions anonymous using much the same kind of protection as you have between public and private keys. There is a proof the transaction is valid but that is basically all you can see.
I like to the the original comment is written by an older NLP model

(X) Doubt
>Non-cash transactions, the letter said, “generate vast amounts of data, recording the time, date, location, amount, and subject of each consumer’s purchase, which are available to digital marketers and advertisers who are engaged in developing and refining increasingly sophisticated techniques to identify and target potential customers

If they see that as a problem, wouldn't criminalizing such use of what should be private information protect even more people's privacy? Accepting cash payments incurs expenses related to handling cash so mandating it isn't just a free win.
I assume because I've seen ChatGPT successfully:

- write a Gitlab ci job that tests python code and outputs a junit test report.

- can you add code coverage?

- write a sql table that has users, age, and a biography

- write python that parses the above output from the table

- now use a lexer and parser

- create a unit test to verify it's correct.

- write a perl one liner that parses a list of users and phone numbers

It completed all of them. I was already impressed with OpenAI when it generated an argument for why Britney Spears should become president and a test for a third grader about Socrates which I then answered incorrectly and had it grade it.
Slightly OT, but I tried taking the same test at https://politiscales.party.

And the questions are as inarticulate / ambiguous as you'd expect from a "political" or "social sciences" quiz:

17. "It is a small group that consciously and secretly controls the world."

Like, controls all of it? They control the whole world? Obviously disagree, a no brainer.

Or a relatively small group of humans has an outsized impact on human affairs? Obviously agree, again, a no brainer but in the opposite direction.

The question could be made more meaningful by better framing: What's "small"? What kind of "control"? How "secret"? What are you really asking?

I wish there was an option "None of the above – the question is ill posed, and I try to not partake in sloppy thinking". The "Neutral / Hesitant" option hardly covers it.

18. "The right to be anonymous on Internet should be guaranteed".

Guaranteed by whom, how? What does this even mean?

Taking the test I feel like I'm trying to read the test authors' mind, rather than probing my own.

I'm not sure what the AI makes of it, but I doubt the test authors really took into account that it's mostly a coin toss between "Strongly agree" and "Strongly disagree" (or "Neutral hesitant"?), even on the same question for the same person.

Or maybe I'm just not the target audience, the sloppiness is an intentional self-selection ruse.

Is Vitalik like the one sane guy in crypto that doesn't actually try to be a bro and simply has an idea of his destiny and is living through it? I don't follow crypto almost at all, and HN/Twitter are probably the only two places where I will ever hear about it.

I don't know him personally but from what I have seen - Vitalik has a lot of great qualities as a person (even outside of crypto, he makes good points on society), and when he does share his thoughts on crypto, it comes off as non-invasive, just ideas and plans that make sense and could be implemented in a way that doesn't push people around.

Who else in crypto does this?

Of course if gender non-normativity can be learned, so too can gender normativity (e.g. bro culture is arguably a form of men learning to do what their local culture considers male things). I don't think all trans people would disagree with that part as much as you think (see the "I never knew that could be an option" thoughts from some late transitioners reflecting back), the bit they'd disagree with is the idea that there is an aberration or problem to those who opt to identify with a gender other than their identified at birth sex.
Get out of here. Are you seriously going to gate keep authoritarianism? So you are not allowed to complain before millions of people are dead?

What you're gps went through doesn't automatically give you any special insight. Are you sure that rachelbythebay also doesn't have some gps whos suffering she can virtue signal with? Maybe they suffered even more than yours.

Yes, and I've been taking comparisons between different prompts with a grain of salt after realizing that the same prompt can result in two different responses even in a freshly reset chat.

E.g. you don't necessarily need fancy prompt engineering to overcome an "I don't know how to do that" response if it only gives that response sometimes and other times it just goes ahead and does the thing.

I'm glad ChatGPT is available for free so I can try stuff out for myself and not rely only on cherry-picked examples that don't attempt to disprove the hypothesis!

Aye, but "classical liberalism" is another term for those principles that goes back hundreds of years on both sides of the Atlantic [1].

There may be a relation to military conditioning. I spent just a single week at a military academy introductory program in high school and when I returned home I was "uncontrollably" (if I thought about it I could avoid doing it, but if I was on autopilot it happened by itself) squaring my corners and calling my family "sir" and "ma'am". The thing was, those patterns were my entire life for that week, and they were very deliberately drilled into me. Eventually they faded because they weren't reinforced outside of the academy (if anything, they were "deinforced"), but there may be a connection here.

If someone spends many hours a day watching someone with particular quirks, it doesn't seem surprising (drawing parallels here to my experience) that those quirks may transfer because their brain starts to make those associations through observation. I would expect that stopping watching that particular person would probably let the transferred tics decay over a period of time (I'd give it a month).
> Traditional banks definitely go up bankrupt, and regulated financial entities definitely break laws, but it seems to happen with alarming frequency with crypto companies.

Traditional finance can be just as bad. Remember the savings and loan crisis? Just as regulations had to catch up with banking so too will they for cryptocurrency exchanges.
All behavior is total behavior, so it doesn’t really matter. Article makes the point that this is attention seeking behavior and often used as an excuse to avoid unpleasant tasks. Whether the teens are aware they are choosing the tic, eventually it becomes habitual and they “can’t stop”. Except they can after meeting with a trained phycologist. Get to the root of the behavior and usually the behavior goes away.
By "Linux" it really means any SSL lib that just uses system's "a dir with a bunch of CAs" approach.

That approach is nice for ops (don't have to worry about commands to add/remove certs, just drop files into dir) and relatively performant (just one read on cert's fingerprint file name in modern distros).

I think simplest one would be just adding meta file with a bunch of conditions ?

While we're at it, allow the certs to be imported only for certain domain, so ops can, for example, import internal CA of their partner but limit it to only partner's domains

When I sold my smallish venture a year back I got around 400 due diligence questions. I answered them, put the material together.

From questions later on it became pretty obvious not one person, not the legal or operations team of the acquirer had look at anything I'd handed over.

I think this is a mixture of laziness and also that these due diligences are done for legal liability reasons, i.e. you can look at the materials if there ever is a lawsuit, not before.

But this is just an anecdote, this obviously depends on the acquirer, I'm sure plenty of companies do it properly.
It's worth saying but if I say it the comment gets flagged and no one gets to read it.
> How many people are there in the world that can do all or even some of the above at a decent level of expertise?

If you tell them what to do, then correct them about all the things they are wrong about, then a lot of people can do all of those as long as they have access to Google.

And then once those people have done that a while they will be able to continue doing those things without your feedback. But ChatGPT can't. This makes it fundamentally different from any human.
That's terrible, but I can't say I'm surprised.

Keep in mind that there wasn't flexible infrastructure on demand in those days. User run servers was sort of a low cost market based demand scaler for IP owners. If the game is really a dud, they didn't buy N servers and M bandwidth. If it's a hit, they can add an official hosted distinction if it makes sense.

> 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.

Those messes are the worst of their greed that I was referring to. I have no idea what your objection is - that those laws didn't "mandate companies behave good", but merely "readjusted incentives to avoid undesirable outcomes"??

Of course laws are not as simplistic as "try to do good, avoid doing evil", but that doesn't mean that is not their aim.
ChatGPT speaks authoritatively about everything and is mainly wrong so yeah, this makes sense.
> Don’t have to look hard to find people giving reasons why pharma companies are evil.

Case in point:

Imagine you find someone grasping a cliff edge by their fingertips. Pulling them back to safety is good! Pulling them back to safety only after they promise you all their worldly wealth forevermore is less good. Being in the business of offering people this deal is not better. Funding the effort to prevent people from restraining your exploitation of cliff danglers is still worse.

This isn't an insoluble moral puzzle. I don't think pharma is an ideal example for your larger point. Most businesses don't thrive on the desperation of their customers.

But I also don't think your point is correct. There are better and worse companies.

I understand one needs to make one's peace with one's choices. I've worked for companies that were doing evil (not exclusively, but at all). I've worked for companies that were mediocre at best. I'm currently working for a company that I would say is positively good. I got paid more by the evil companies. I have been happier working for the good companies though it's harder to support my family. But I understand people who choose to keep working for their evil company, particularly when others depend on their income. In one of the more egregious outbursts of evil at one of the companies I worked for I had friends who quit. They didn't want to be complicit. I stayed. I had kids and didn't want to throw my family into turmoil. But I saw the choice I was making.
So your anecdotal evidence suggests that all companies are evil?

Because this is certainly not the case.
