bulbosaur123··on How to make YouTube less distracting
Is it really that bad? If the extension has a ton of reviews, doesn't it sort of vouch for credibility? And if they say they can't "read or change data on this website"?
bulbosaur123··on Lone Wolves: Why do some people hate teamwork? (2017)
These people usually are not confident in themselves are often are afraid of appearing silly or simply anxious about idea of delegating task to someone else in the group, afraid of possibly push-back. It's actually a really bad trait to have.

Unstable diffusion.
bulbosaur123··on MusicLM: Generating Music from Text
I'm really excited to hear this has been released so soon after Riffusion.

Perhaps both ycombinator threads on MusicLM can be merged together.

If not, I will just post my comments here. I've always seen music as the "final frontier". With images and text you can afford tiny errors and noise that isn't that noticeable by the human eye, but with music everything has to be impeccable and if a note is slightly off, you can instantly tell. Machine learning models that will be able to create outstanding music, imo, will mark the end-game of creative AI endeavors.

Anyone want to share their experiments with MusicLM, feel free to join community-fan discord and subreddit:

https://reddit.com/r/MusicLM/

BTW, I really hope this gets integrated in software like Ableton similarly how image generators get slowly integrated into Adobe Creative Suite.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by rapid progression of music related machine learning models. I've always seen music as the "final frontier".

"Lost"...sure, what a convenient tax writeoff

Let's assume it is. And? I'm still going to use it. And so will everyone else.

bulbosaur123··on Hypothesis: In post-AI era real estate will be the most valuable investment
The logical basis is that reduced cost of energy will allow creation of vertical farms and AI will lead to new revelations in efficacy of crop-farming which will create surplus food for everyone.

Despite that, you can't increase "efficacy" of Art Nouveau building in center of old city. It was there for hundreds of years and it will stay there for hundreds. There is no way to magically create "more land" in those areas, thus prime real estate will appreciate more than anything else.

Won't AI solve all of those issues?
bulbosaur123··on I am done. I give up
Also, aren't stats something like 1 in 10 startups succeeds? Or one in 100? So you have a long way to go.

Guilty as charged. I thought nobody will notice my slight suggestions to ChatGPT in favor of a "certain brand" within category of "What is the best X software?"
bulbosaur123··on 2023 AI prediction: the gap between generative and predictive AI will widen
This is always the case. Same as it makes more sense to improve your own product rather than to hinder competition. Creation > Discrimination is almost always true.

Early screening is usually the key. Cancers caught early can be easily treated.
bulbosaur123··on I’ve been battling cancer last 2 years, but now only have a few days left
Really hope these breakthrough AI discoveries will dramatically accelerate cure for cancer (all types).

Referring to early screening, this seems like the right way to go: https://grail.com/

Not true. Only censorship-resistant asset. Only asset in entire universe that cannot be confiscated.
bulbosaur123··on Riffusion – Stable Diffusion fine-tuned to generate music
Anyone interested in joining an unofficial Riffusion Discord, let's organize here: https://discord.gg/DevkvXMJaa

Would be nice to have a channel where people can share Riffs they come up with.

> Who asked for this?

I did.

> The future seems depressing when I look at all this AI generated art.

You should talk about your concerns with an AI psychotherapist.

bulbosaur123··on US Department of Energy: Fusion Ignition Achieved
TL:DR please, how big of a deal is this and when can we approximately expect cheap or costless energy? And is it sort of like perpetual energy generator? And if yes, doesn't that break law of physics? And if not, why not?

So many questions. Pardon my ignorance.

bulbosaur123··on Be wary of imitating high-status people who can afford to countersignal
Because if are a nobody and noone recognizes your face people will heuristically assume you aren't a "down to earth billionaire", but are instead just a poor, average person and thus insignificant. Zuck can appear to be humble in his clothes, because everyone knows who Zuck is and people expect famous billionaires to be smug assholes, so this is a way to countersignal and pretend to be "just like one of you, guys". Since you are "just one of us", it's in your interest to appear as something more.
bulbosaur123··on Be wary of imitating high-status people who can afford to countersignal
Yeah, but they aren't wearing Gucci loafers and drive a Toyota Corolla instead of a pimped out Rolls Royce Phantom, therefore they are "humble" and their names on University buildings just solidify how much they value "intellectual substance" over superficial things...at least that is what they want us to believe
bulbosaur123··on Be wary of imitating high-status people who can afford to countersignal
The poorer you are, the more you are interested in appearing rich. Higher EV in that play allowing increased chances to mingle with rich class.

The richer you are, the more you are interested in appearing humble. Higher EV in signalling "money speaks, wealth whispers" message and appearing "down-to-earth" to win people over.

Very often it pays to do the opposite of what is expected from you.
