summitsummit··on Longevity Drug for Dogs Passes Key FDA Hurdle
doesnt specify how much longevity, just says hope to add years. i didn't read it, asked GPT, because I'm not going through all that to dig out an answer they may not have included just to make you read it

summitsummit··on Experimental tree-based writing interface for GPT-3
i (biasedly) thought this was going to be a reddit-like infinitely nested threaded interface to chat with GPT (as opposed to the serial chat-like dialogue based one.
summitsummit··on Facebook's Hypocrisy on Apple's New iOS 14 Privacy Feature
> their motivations aren’t entirely altruistic

well obviously. who is going to expend the resources and headache to fight the powerful evil wraths of Google and Facebook on such a notion as altruism

> Why would I assume any company would act in my interests when they have clear incentives to increase their profits and control by acting counter to them?

Even without perverse incentives, why would another agent in your environment have any reason to go out of their way to have your best interest at heart?

summitsummit··on AI’s “world in chains” scenario
No, I care a lot about the future of humanity, but only if my progeny is a part of it. I was my descendants to be among those colonizing the stars. I guess it's kind of like the difference between having sex vs watching porn.

> Also a despotic regieme could still do good engineering and science and colonize other planets and whatnot, making it less likely we go extinct, also it would be likely to fragment into different societies at that point.

Is it bad that deep down, I feel that I don't care for humanity's proliferation or "success" if my progeny is not part of it? for instance, if our current human population is decimated by some bioweapon, and somehow humanity resurfaces and successfully ventures into the stars (without my genes), then I care not for it?

> I built this website because I was tired of quora asking me to sign up all the time

not to be condescending but isn't that the natural convergence point of all these apps assuming you're operating in a capitalist environment? so the way I see it, your app either will stay unpopular and without signups and aggressive user conversions, or it will get big, and become quora. die young or live long enough to be the villain as they say.

do you have some examples? i suspect the majority of mine are the former

wow that's a really interesting and seemingly insightful perspective and now i view the ADHD label as an insult.

> This resulted me in one case coding straight for 7 hours.

This happened to me this weekend. It's truly scary in retrospect. I got a business idea thursday, and coded nonstop until Sunday. It's a rentable AI service for dating apps. I launched it and it's super neat imo, but I lost almost 8 lbs in that time because I didn't eat, drink water, and slept only when my thoughts started to blank out.

I am now focusing on rehabilitating by eating a lot and going to the gym. I got so skinny. I wasn't on any medication either.

i don't think the point of those mechanisms are to serve social good. i would regard that as a fundamentally incorrect position to hold.

the point is to make those that are advantaged by such tools to gain evergrowing more power over others. isn't that the whole history of human civilization? when's it ever been about serving a social good.

That's rather presumptuous of you, as it implies your goals are more correct than anyone else's.

Perhaps next time the following would be more accurate:
