Because most people aren't that aware of their friends and relatives' hobbies and interests, nor the specifics about how they work. So if that person doesn't speak openly about them (and let's face it, most people won't simply because the other person won't find the topic that interesting), then they'll only know the most basic aspects.

Like, someone I'm friends with regularly goes to the climbing gym. I vaguely remember being told which gym it was at one point, and I know the sport they partake in, but that's basically it. I don't know if they've got any friends or acquaintances they hang out with each time they go, if they go to events related to it, whether they discuss it online, etc.

And the same goes with what most people (friends and parents included) know about me and my own hobbies and interests too. They might know some of the things I'm interested in and some of the people I'm friends with, but it's certainly not all of them.

In general, people tend not to know everything (or often, even that much in general) about their friends and loved ones. They know what they're willing to talk about/have bothered discussing, and that's usually it.
My point is you can protect yourself by cooperating as well. Wiping out other party is very risky, you are also weaker during the process, means someone else can butt in - happens all the time in the nature, even with lions/tigers who are "apex predators"

Most Russians criticize Putin for not taking this too seriously.

Largely out of the entirely unsupported belief, which you seem to share, that Putin could easily unleash huge reserves of untapped offensive potential any moment he wanted to (aside from nukes, which are of course completely useless for what he's trying to do in Ukraine).

The simple fact is, though, he just doesn't have that capacity. If he had it, he would have certainly made use of it by now, now nearly 3 years in. It's simply preposterous to suggest he's sitting on some massive potential, but hasn't been using it yet for some mysterious reason.

People were active participants in MMORPGs. You get the dopamine from achieving goals inside the game, and make connections with other people as you collaborate to reach these goals. Your relationship with other players is that of coworkers (or cohabitants). On social media, most people are just spectators, getting entertained by a small group of creators whose relation with the rest of the community is that of salesmen. Both systems are not designed in the same way.

It’s scary to think faceless corporations may often know more about yourself than you, your family, and even closest friends.

Reminds me of a story of Target sending adverts for baby items to a teenager which accurately predicated she was pregnant before she was even aware [1]

It’s all (unencrypted comms, texts, social media, osint, …) archived in massive data centers just waiting to be analyzed.

For sure. It's been amazing honestly and I feel like it has really accelerated my learning. Enough that I'm trying to get really serious about making the most out of this new leverage seemingly out of nowhere.

I use it a lot for mapping out of the initial concepts but I find one of the best use cases is after understanding the basics, explaining where I need to learn more and asking for a book recommendation. The quality of my reading list has gone up 10x this way and I find myself working through multiple books a week.

Great for code too obviously, though still feels like early days there to me.

The law does not actually prohibit the clerk from telling you what forms you need to give him to finalize an uncontested divorce in any state in this country. If it was against the law, the Nolo books you used wouldn't exist.

The clerk wasn't going to tell you which forms you needed to give him, because if the divorce had been messed up by you giving him the wrong forms on his advice, he could have been sued for the financial losses you and your ex-spouse incurred.

But it's convenient to blame it on the lawyers...

> to a vision where OpenAI is the 1st and faraway leader in the production of the most valuable 'technology' ever

Except that OpenAI isn't a faraway leader. Their big news this week was them finally making an effort to catch up to Anthropic's Artifacts. Their best models do only marginally better in the LLM Arena than Claude, Gemini, and even the freely-released Llama 3.1 405B!

Part of why I believe Altman is looking to cash out is that I think he's smart enough to recognize that he has no moat and a very small lead. His efforts to get governments to pull up the ladder have largely failed, so the next logical choice is to exit at peak valuation rather than waiting for investors to recognize that OpenAI is increasingly just one in a crowd.

> If "no magic is needed",

I just gave you the math showing such groups are common, with no need for anything special. It's simply math. It as simple as: if I flip a coin long enough, I can find a run of 10 heads, or 100 hears, or a trillion heads.

The number of Americans and the number of ways to organize them is large enough that, just by chance, there will be many that have a 10+ years lifespan for no other reason than we simply have zillions of ways to split people into groups.

The math I presented give you the direction to compute such things. Learn enough math to solve the expected number of such groups, and you will be surprised.

To show one such group is anything other than statistical chance takes far more science and study and analysis than just saying "Look group has desired thing Y all we have is to repeat what the group did!"

> It seems that it is not that easy to find them

It's trivial to find such groups - medicine finds them all the time. Pick any medical result X that is expected to add Y years to life, pick some population center, pick those in the center with the habits/genetics in the study, and voila, you get yet another mystical group with magical life properties.

Except it's not magic. And it will happen with certainly without there being any underlying cause simply due to statistics. Medicine tries to remove the pure randomness of the result and demonstrate a causual relationship, but that is hard and not always done. They do this extra work because they know that stuff like the above happens so often purely randomly.

Simple example: [1] claims (I have not dug into the study, but it is likely well done) that 8 habits (eat healthy, exercise, good body weight, not too much alcohol, not smoking) would add 20ish years to life expectancy. So, go to a big city, find those in this group, and you'll get likely several thousand of them.

And now woo hoo! 24 years!

And for special effect, pick the subset that intersects yet another silly variable, say has red hair, or was bullied as a child, and now you too can get headlines that will spread like this one: "The 8 traits that make readheads live 20 more years!" "Bullied kids can do this one simple trick and outlive their tormentors!"

But this is simply nonsense. There is science, there is causality, and there is statistics, and not being able to disentangle them leads lots of people to post voodoo as if it's not simply random chance.

Thanks, I haven't heard of Ebonics before. Looks like at this point in time its usage is becoming discouraged (the term, not the phenomenon it describes).

BBC "in our time" radio show did an outstanding episode on the topic. As usual it had an amazing calibre of guests but a totally understated style. Also no long pointless intro full of terrible banter or lengthy bullet list of what will be discussed.

Instagram starts off the hook by default. If there's no evidence it's causing a problem, then there's no hook for it to be let off to begin with.

> No single study is definitive, including this one!

We default to the null hypothesis of no effect. It's not good scientific practice to assume a thing is true and then assert (for any study) that because it's just one study it can't convince you otherwise. This particular paper is at any rate not a study at all, it's a meta-analysis. So what it's saying is that they reviewed a lot of research and there's no evidence.

I mentioned ads as just one potential avenue for monetization. My main point is that OpenAI's current market position and strong brand awareness are the real differentiators. They're in a unique spot where they have the user's attention, which offers a range of monetization options beyond just ads. The challenge for them will be to balance monetization with maintaining the user experience that made them successful in the first place.

Also, don't forget the recent Apple partnership [1], a very strong signal of their strategic positioning. Aligning with Apple reinforces their credibility and opens up even more opportunities for innovation and expansion, beyond just monetizing through ads. I just searched through this thread, and it seems the Apple partnership isn't being recognized as a significant achievement under Sam Altman's tenure as CEO, which is surprising given its importance.

Netflix is curated and not user created, so I’d say TikTok is more like YouTube. Then of course everyone copied the format including YouTube, IG, X, and even LinkedIn (saw this one just today).

How has LLMs actually developed in the last two years?

Have you noticed movies and TV series use multiple cameras to capture a scene from different angles?

When it comes to video these things can't get consistency between angles or scenes.

Add to that that the results are full of glitches and the resolution is equivalent to a CRT screen in the year 2000. Same resolution as s

Fixing these limitations would equate to a revolution rather than a steady evolution.

And let's not forget that these systems are also hugely unprofitable at this stage.

> Reminds me of a story of Target sending adverts for baby items to a teenager which accurately predicated she was pregnant before she was even aware

Given that the big advertisers have collectively decided to show me both dick pills and breast surgery and sanitary pads, and lawyers specialising in renouncing a citizenship I never had for tax purposes for people residing in a country I don't live in, and several other equally stupid examples, I now think such examples were as much over-selling as most of the claims Musk has made about FSD.

Only time I've seen an advertisement for something relevant to me, I already had it.
My gastroenterologist says that intestinal illness can render you temporarily lactose intolerant for a few weeks after the fact. That might be what's happening to you, or some version of it!
People are taking Altman at his word.

He was literally invited to congress to speak about AI safety. Sure, perhaps people that have a longer memory of the tech world don't trust him. That's actually not a lot of people. A lot of people just aren't following tech (like my in-laws).
Alternatively, it might make capital available to other things.

It's at least theoretically possible that all the liquidity and leverage in the top of the market could tire itself of chasing the next tulip mania.

For instance, $6 Billion could have gone into climate tech instead of ElizaX.

> ... 4o and o1, which are great step changes but nothing the competition can't quickly replicate.

Where did that assertion come from? Has anyone come close to replicating either of these yet (other than possibly Google, who hasn't fully released their thing yet either), let alone "quickly"? I wouldn't be surprised if it's these "sideways" architectural changes actually give OpenAI a deeper moat than just working on larger models.
It’s because, for those of us who exist in these realms - be it WoW, EQ, furries, whatever - we get very, very good at being discrete. There’s that initial excitement when we desperately want to share our joy with our parents or siblings, but all too often that joy is dashed by popular misconceptions, media sensationalism, and flat-out fabrications about “strangers online” and the like. I found solace in online communities as an introvert traumatized by repeated cross-country moves growing up, and when I tried sharing my online friends with my parents, they deleted my social messenger accounts at the time.

So that’s why this stuff often pops up as a “surprise” to those left behind, or comes across as a “double-life”. We often tried to open up and share ourselves, but were shut down for the unorthodox ways we found happiness or identity, and realized the best approach was hard segregation of the two.

Heck, it’s why I still don’t tie my meatspace and authentic selves together. The meatspace me is this reserved but honest engineer who just wants to make good systems that customers like using and be left alone, but the online dinosaur is…_starkly different_, more open and authentic, exuding more confidence and more empathy as well.

We’re unique creatures who adapt to our surroundings, but make no mistake: we always want to share our found happiness with others. Unfortunately, experience often dictates that sharing ourselves so completely is more likely than not to end up causing us great harm, and so we just don’t do it.
From what I see around me, they advertise that they are both Urgent Care and Emergency Room. UC hours of operation end in the evening, and coming in past the COB automatically puts you to ER billing and pricing.

But if you come in during UC hours and the procedures are outside of UC, you can still end up being billed as an ER customer. The difference is usually in thousands.
Yes, mask first, this is a second line of defense. (Again, maybe, could do nothing or be harmful)
A 12 year old that doesn't interact with the world.

Many believe that AGI will happen in robots, and not in online services, simply because interacting with the environment might be a prerequisite for developing consciousness.

You mentioned boredom, which is interesting, as boredom may also be a trait of intelligence. An interesting question is if it will want to live at all. Humans have all these pleasure sensors and programming for staying alive and reproducing. The unburdened AGI in your description might not have good reasons to live. Marvin, the depressed robot, might become real.

You're welcome, but also keep in mind that it's just my opinion :) Someone else might come along and tell you all the ways I'm wrong.

Also, it's not a black & white situation. If your dataset isn't super valuable, or if it's just niche enough, it's possible that adding Cloudflare by itself would be "good enough" protection. It's a LOT better than nothing, and also much better protection than what most people can DIY on their own.
Personally I have found talking to AI to be much more draining than typing. It's a bit like having a phone call vs IM. I'd basically always prefer IM as long as I'm getting quick responses.
I think, we just don't have right data. What I mean, human is not pure brain, but first year of life learn physiology of himself, and this physiology is very important part of human intelligence, but it is unwritten, even some opinions named it unconscious.

Current AI learning is not even deaf, but something like learn Dadaism (or other philosophy) without understanding of human being, with some much simpler life philosophy (single cell).

FWIW, "computational" doesn't have to mean "digital computer".

In the context of existing AI "computational" models, it does. It's all we've got.

No one is pushing too hard for any change to the status quo at present, unfortunately.

But you're ignoring a 3rd option: a working cease fire with no change in positions of forces on the ground -- but no recognition of Russia's sovereignty claims either. A classic frozen conflict, in other words. The latter option is getting some discussion among Ukrainians. It is a minority position, but it's perfectly possible discuss it as an option.

It also doesn't have to be a permanent arrangement: Sooner or later Putin will expire or become enfeebled, and the RF will likely enter a period of stagnation and instability. Which will open the door for a possible resolution to the question of final borders and positions of forces.

Perhaps something along the lines of what Croatia did to Serbia in 1995 (but at a much larger scale -- perhaps not retaking all of the occupied territories at once, but it may suffice to reclaim a large enough chunk to persuade whoever is running the RF by the point see that the writing is on the wall, and that the time is up on their optional colonial project):

It's not a bizarre statement at all. An executive meddling with something because X or Y element of a piece of art doesn't align with A or B market trend is not the same thing as people working together and sometimes clashing due to creative differences. You'll find that most works that you, or other people, like weren't the result of a sole individual's creative decisions going completely unchallenged. Others suggested, or revised, or fought. There can be too many cooks in the kitchen, of course, but that's an entirely different issue from executive meddling.
Any CUPS daemon will raise the following warning on startup. I just copied this from my Systemd log:

Not saying this is the correct decision, but IPP Everywhere is available on most printers that are < 10 years old. Obviously, that rules out older printers, which are fairly common.
