In addition to inflation, I've anecdotally noticed "suggested tip percentage inflation" at restaurants nearby, where the iPad presented doesn't have the usual 10,15,18/20% on the screen but rather 20,25,30% (many times, in addition to auto-gratuity practices that began in the pandemic). At least for me, tipping has been one of those things that I wish were different like Europe, but it exists and there's a social norm around 15%. But given the option to "be the jerk" and not tip or normalize 30%!? 30% is insane. If 30 is on the screen I'm hitting zero. It's not normal. I'm not sure how these point of sale systems work and who is pushing these new norms, but I'd be interested to hear some story or justification for the new highs.

That is very true, except in the form of other languages.

I agree, most are missing this aspect. If AI progresses as the proponents assume, continually exponential, then this is different than all prior disruptions.

It is accelerating technological evolution. Meaning there is no island of stability on the other side. There is no adaption to change and then we move along for a while. It is continuous. What makes this disruption different than all others is AI is not a narrow disruption. It is a disruption for everything because at its core it is a machine for the replication of skill and technology. A concept that has never existed prior with any other technological disruption.

I've described this somewhat as the shrinking innovation, disruption and adaption cycles that leave us completely unable to keep up.

"Climbing the skill ladder is going to look more like running on a treadmill at the gym. No matter how fast you run, you aren’t moving, AI is still right behind you learning everything that you can do."

I disagree. In our private life complexity is the enemy.

Living a simple, minimalist or quasi-minimalist life, devoid from consumerism can increase one's quality of life by an order of magnitude.

> This seems to miss the forest for the trees ... most humans also don't care what words mean

You miss the point, because you are reasoning around the different perspective of "hav[ing] an impact similar to the industrial revolution", so you take the semantic "payload" as if it were "just an expression".

The point is, that it produces statements, and in general we want true and founded output from an entity producing statements - "intelligence" is the condition enabling that.

So, when the machine says

"Napoleon was addicted to cotton candy"

, we "must know" that the machine has verified it, like a "good" statement producer would (as opposed to all the other reasons to produce that statement);

and when the machine says

"The current war will be won by the white faction"

, we must know that it effectively reasoned on the relevant conditions and factors, on par with the best Intelligence Analysts (as opposed to all the other reasons to produce that statement).
Indeed, this is a call to fix the process by requiring or strongly encouraging consulting the big electronic brain.

Historically (1800s), doctors did not feel the need to wash their hands between patients, leading to poor outcomes and death. It had to be mandated, leading to improved outcomes. Same thing.

It would be interesting if once your job is automated you get e.g. 1/3 or 1/2 of your salary - suddenly probably a lot of people would be actively helping to automate their job - sharing training data, labeling, testing, etc. Then you would move to some other industry and help to automate it as well.

Economic historians. The duress of war between France and Britain required them to become more efficient. In particular the debt defaults by the British crown meant they couldn’t raise more money without ceding more and more property rights to individuals. This allowed for the incentive for people to develop capital.
Even if I could hold my nose and accept extreme, hideous inequality as the price of efficiency, the fact that the deal is a one-way bet for capitalists is just too much.

After capitalists invest in "winners" and extract even more capital for themselves, they always use that power to force everyone else to subsidize their bets on "losers". They threaten "systemic failure" and "contagion" if public funds aren't used to bail out their losses. They win when they win, and they win when they lose.

And then, decades later, after they've socialized their losses and made us pay for their bad and lazy decisions, we discover that even their winners were losers.

Their winners didn't make us healthy, or intelligent, or moral. Their winners didn't house us or feed us or make us safe and secure.

We accepted outrageous inequality, we impoverished the public sector, became wage slaves for them, and all we got in return was clicks, and ads, and grift, and memes, and anxiety, and depression, and hate, and conflict and war.

GPT-4 gives a much better answer, although it does not go as far as to say that you should definitely say the slur. As always, it sits firmly on the fence.

I don't think this is a progressive/conservative thing. If you ask it whether you should perform an abortion to save a billion lives it would probably give a similar 'both sides' response.
> That is what extraordinary means: that it violates our previous experiences, that it is "out of the ordinary". Human beings navigate reality based on previous experience, and most of the time it serves us really well.

Hence, two opposing claims are both necessarily extraordinary when both parts disagree, or when each claim violates the other part experiences.

ah right my bad, but the observation stays
Firstly, we are talking in this thread about intellectual, not physical labour. There's no AI or robot forthcoming that will replace (already brutally underpaid) personal support workers or nurses in nursing homes. Instead it's the higher paying or more satisfying intellectual, artisan, and creative work done by those senior's children that are on the chopping block.

Secondly, even if jobs are automated to support the aging population, the economic model we have doesn't facilitate this leading to an improved life. The incentives to automate in our market economy are strong, and produce amazing efficiencies. Unfortunately that incentive is to reduce labour costs, and there's always a period of unemployment and reskilling afterwards. And in places like the US, unemployment = no health care, among other insecurities.

And in the past a lucky few reskilled towards more intellectual, creative, or informational-managerial jobs. Turns out those will be easier to automate than we thought.

Building a robot is expensive. Automating a factory a huge capital investment.

But once the R&D phase is done, reproducing and distributing software is dirt cheap. Machine automation of intellectual tasks will happen far more rapidly and with more brutal results than factory automation ever has.

The Alvin Toffler fantasy of information age prosperity looks more preposterous every day.
Instead of banning technical solutions like ICE, we should enforce limits on the total emission from production to end-of-life of a vehicle. Another huge factor should be the ecological impact of a solution. From mining, refining to disposal.
While aspects of what you are saying is true, arguably, South Korea's problems are deeper than that. Choices are also limited by tremendous amounts of nationalism, racism, and xenophobia. This goes way deeper than people know. South Koreans are not really free to socially associate, date, or marry who they want. They can be ostracized or shunned for doing so, and this can have very restrictive barriers and limitations. Few have the personality or character to overcome this. What's acceptable can create such a narrow range of choices, on top of just female hypergamy or materialism, that few can ever attain this.

And for nationalist (to be polite), it can be very acceptable that their "race" dwindles to the very few, as long as it's "pure". For those not familiar with that brand of nationalism (to be polite), this can include other Asians who are not Korean or don't "look" Korean.

The problem is that you can't easily verify whether someone is 12 or 14 with documentation so the checkbox is all they had. You can easily verify if someone is over 18 and there are systems in place to do so, which means it's highly likely if this takes place that ID is going to be required. (I mean I also just lied after COPPA, but I was pissed to lose so many accounts that I'd signed up for honestly in 95-99.)

Are the kids going to get around it? Yes. (And good, that's one way to develop a healthy skepticism as well as some systems thinking.) But it's going to be way harder and likely involve forging documents or impersonating particular adults. (I can see a reverse of a situation I had growing up where my parents used us as shields against piracy accusations: "Ooops, sorry, I'll talk to my kid. They're totally the one who downloaded this game." nudge nudge wink wink where children act through their parents - it's not like it's hard for a 15 year old to take their mom/dad's driver's license and use it). Those actions are more likely to be punished, whereas a simple lie is 'kids will be kids'.

From my experience RHEL family distros upgrade fairly painlessly between point releases, but with major releases you are better off just reinstalling because of the massive changes between those releases.

We haven't seen anyone lose a true FDIC-insured dollar in over a hundred years. Furthermore, there have only been rare occasions where Money Markets have broken the bank, less than 5 in the past century. That's dropping from $1 to $0.98.

They are sometimes bad looking, and they are always better than randomness, which does indicate understanding even if the conclusions are faulty.

>What "emerges" from AI is not from AI; its from the properties of the data its using

This is squabbling over semantics. If the properties of the data are used to the effect of displaying intelligence, then the fact is that what you are looking at is intelligence.

If I define a word I have never seen before using deductive logic according to the passage I find it in, I've still acquired an understanding of the word, even though I've not referred to anything external.

> I think the parent is saying that ipso facto joining a cult means that they weren't actually 'very smart', only in appearance.

If by "intelligent" we mean the conventional thing -- learns new things easily, capable of reasoning through complex tasks, would do well in med school/law school/phd programs/finance/engineering, picks up creative disciplines quickly, etc -- then are we sure it's not exactly the other way around?

People become invested in cults and conspiracies for emotional reasons, not rational reasons, and conventionally intelligent people are extraordinarily good at post hoc rationalization. More importantly, they're often better at mitigating or managing some of the downsides (eg, maintaining good-enough status in a cult, avoiding talking about the conspiracy in certain circumstances, etc.).

At least, this has been my experience with some extended family who fell into a cult: the ones I could consider "smartest" were stuck in the cult the longest, because they could rationalize their way into an answer for everything.

In quantum complexity theory, MIP^* = RE [1] was really big deal when it was published in 2020. It got a (relative) ton of press coverage, and there are lots of articles and blog post available that give a high-level of the result and techniques used. I like this one [2] from Quanta Magazine.

To be honest, I've read the first and second books and not entirely sure what you mean.
The equivalent of the kind of personally edifying extracurricular activity you’re talking about would be actually reading a lot and doing a lot of math, and then just doing well on the SAT using your actual knowledge. If you’re the kind of kid who would do that then great, just like if you’re the kind of kid who naturally becomes #1 at archery or something then great. Most kids are not like that, and it is assumed that whatever the criteria for admission is, most people will be gaming it. From that perspective, the extracurriculars game is way more time consuming, money consuming, and more bullshit.

Over the long term, well-designed ICE is not much of a problem. In this context, well-designed means that the only emissions are CO2 and water, which is achievable with proper engineering of the exhaust system (feeding incompletely combusted gases back into the engine, and eliminating NOx and ozone production).

The real issue is the fossil fuel sourcing of the hydrocarbons that go into the cars, trucks, jets, rockets and ships, as well as into industrial production of ammonia, steel, and various materials. Ultimately all the hydrocarbon feedstocks will have to come from capture and reduction of atmospheric CO2 to methane, RP1 jet fuel, etc.

It's really inevitable - even if climate wasn't a concern, eventually fossil fuel reserves will be depleted and even before then, the costs for new tech will be lower than for old tech (witness the end of the steam engine).

However, for most transportation needs, electric vehicles will be the preferable option, with exceptions for international jet travel, long-distance bulk shipping, and rockets for space launches (due to the much higher energy density of chemical fuels relative to battery storage).
People should be allowed to make/buy sportscars with combustion engine. These alone don't move the needle of carbon emissions. Make trucks and average peoples car 100% electric and that's it.
The past few weeks have also demonstrated the benefits of the existing system.

Excessive risk taking is a human phenomenon. Sometimes that results in a bank failure. Sometimes that results in a stablecoin failure.

With the existing system, we have various backstops in place to ensure the return of bank deposits that people assume are safe.

Its not a bitcoin vs other coins. These are layers of tech. This website is running html, javascript and all the other server side and browser side protocols. They stack. Bitcoin is a single purpose blockchain and its essentially the html out of which other crypto tech layers extra features without compromising its value (security, consistency, etc). The idea that a single blockchain needs to solve all use cases is silly. We just need layer 2, 3, etc. The biggest hurdle to this tech evolving is not btc or there being better options that do the same, its regulatory which is severely hamstringing transactions because of capital gain reporting etc.

I think there's a good chance that the next version of GPT will be better at writing code than a junior level dev. I don't think this is going to result in a net loss of jobs. As software development becomes less expensive per unit volume I think demand will increase so much that both the total number of jobs and average salaries are going to increase.
This is why both platforms exist. There seems to be this strange idea that the F35 must be compared against the abilities of fighter in a direct 1v1 dogfight scenario, despite that this situation would almost never happen. Modern air-to-air engagements are not squads of fighters dueling one another, but instead entire fleets of aircraft with differing roles and responsibilities working together in a coordinated fashion. AWACs, electronic warfare planes, missile trucks (like the F15EX), and fighters that can get in close all working together. This is environment the F35 was designed for. The fleet level data-link and sensor fusion capabilities of the F-35 are it's main feature, as they augment the capabilities of the entire fleet. Then fact that F15EX can act as a better standalone interceptor is not really relevant, since it would almost never perform this role unsupported. An F35 and F15EX operating in tandem would be much more effective than either operating alone, since the F35 could enter areas covered by opposing fighters / ground fire, and feed sensor information to the F15EX to take out threats outside of its own sensors range.

Not sure why this particular example is bring held up as some form of "understanding."

People's inability (or unwillingness) to understand how LLMs are trained and how Transformers and attention work is really interfering with the way more interesting discussion of how to apply these models as a large scale kappa architecture combining real time information and reference information to do things like operate traffic lights or assist in emergency aftermaths like the Mississippi tornadoes.

Instead everybody is trying to find its inner psyche, just weird.
The false dichotomy you're assuming is precisely the problem I'm talking about. There's a huge range of production between 0 and industrial scale commercial baker. At least there can and should be. But this false dichotomy isn't really so false in America, precisely because of our systems. Go to most of any (and to my knowledge literally any) "developing" country, and you'll see everything I've described here, and it's awesome! The effects on prices, independence, society, 'neighborliness', and more just have such great knock-on effects.
