telepathy··on The economics of writing technical books
I'm all about scrolls and slates. As shocking as it may seem, you won't learn philosophy from a printing press.
telepathy··on The economics of writing technical books
Is this really how anyone under 60 learns technical information in 2024? I realize SWE job posts are down but... this is a terrible idea lol

telepathy··on The Rise and Fall of BNN Breaking, an AI-Generated News Outlet
Stop trying to learn about reality from movies
telepathy··on The Rise and Fall of BNN Breaking, an AI-Generated News Outlet
Then you can't say anything about AI journalism at large if you're talking about a few prompts/models
telepathy··on The Rise and Fall of BNN Breaking, an AI-Generated News Outlet
I don't think anyone is alleging the majority of BNN was not "fine." It's some tiny percentage that was apparently controversial - just like human journalists.

Judith Miller is a good example to look at if you're having trouble with this

telepathy··on The Rise and Fall of BNN Breaking, an AI-Generated News Outlet
yeah they do the same thing with humans. except human journalists give you a false sense of security if it's parroted by NYTimes' Judith Miller (or 1000s of other examples)

Good one

None of those problems are solved by using humans instead of AI. Very few journalists are doing "boots on the ground" interviews. They're lazy. And why can't an AI do a zoom interview?
telepathy··on The Rise and Fall of BNN Breaking, an AI-Generated News Outlet
Why do we trust human journalists exactly? Very few of them are interested in truth. This article is motivated by the same existential anger we see from artists. Human journalists have a horrible track record spreading war and misery and lies. Plus sounds like this guy would be the type to cheap out and use GPT-3.5 and save money on tokens. We're just going to write off journalism done by GPT-7?

That's a lot of projection going on. It's deeply unethical to squander economic resources on your vanity. The elephant in the room is that your employees are not starving Africans who deserve charity far more. Your actions cause the death of starving children who would have otherwise been fed if you had not overpaid your rich employees so you can feel good about yourself. You're a bad person.

And no I'm not in crypto. I've been saying it has no lawful utility so voluminously that mods have asked me to stop trolling crypto people. So we can establish your assumptions and fundamental intuition and instincts are very inaccurate. You have a broken compass and it has caused you to become disconnected from first principles of microeconomics.

What is your company name and who are the unlucky shareholders you're victimizing?

Last, I hope you can learn the difference between kindness and niceness. The former is legitimate while the latter is what you do - a manipulative social strategy, often employed by predators with subclinical psychopathology, to ingratiate yourself to others in leu of merit.

telepathy··on Sam Bankman-Fried might not be the last crypto criminal
Okay yeah that's why crytpo is a fringe libertarian collectible like those infomercial "gold coins" and nothing more. You agree.
telepathy··on Sam Bankman-Fried might not be the last crypto criminal
Autocratic governments are not determined en masse by citizens and you still have to obey regardless of your little opinion.
