this is such a weird comment. Sure, the HotOrNot clone was inappropriate. But "He's an insecure little incel at heart"? Where did that come from?

7 months to go through interviewing is outrageous, no?

Interesting take.....

The court decisions you mentioned aren't exactly the doing of one person? I think that's the difference. We're giving this attention because the grifting is more visible and because it's directly attributable to one person. "Which one is worse" is not really an important conversation, is it? It's about the fact that we see clearly where the fault/corruption lies and there appears to be no concern to correct it.

group chat? in person communication?

So the story is highly suspect because ..... ? Because the author didn't provide you with evidence on a message board, in order to pre-emptively defend himself against your scrutiny? Because of some unrelated episode where somebody else fabricated a story as a form of propaganda? And you think that justifies your belief that the story is fake? Right. Good luck with your future conversations.

I was obviously speaking on its plausibility.

>The problem is that you provide other examples and then extrapolate from there

You mean like your link?

Here's an article that was posted here a long time ago:

https://it.wisc.edu/learn/inclusive-language-for-it/

It attempts to replace, or offer alternatives to, offensive language in IT. For example "dummy variable" is under the category of "Ableist language" in the website and should be replaced with the term "placeholder value". "master" and "slave" are other examples of language that, apparently, need to get phased out.

I don't see the problem with the comment that you responded to. It's not surprising to me.

>If you can't stand out from an LLM then why can't it do your job?

I downvoted your post because this is a complete nonsequitur.

I got around 50-53 minutes in and lost track of what he was doing. There's a lot of configuration for OpenVPN. I'm also not trying very hard & just wanted to see what I can learn from him.

Still, all of this is incredibly valuable.

One of my favorite games growing up, Diablo 2, was remastered a few years ago. I remember seeing stories about a lot of 'woke' graphical changes. Something about Andariel's cleavage and midgets.

The article offers a few explanations. Aside from the abandonment of moral education, the one that stands out to me/comes to mind is the prioritization of scores. For example, I knew kids who started studying for the SAT as soon as they hit high school. They were taking the PSAT as early as 9th grade, maybe 10th. They were also busy outside of that with accelerated courses and other enrichment. And college was more of the same. Can anyone really say that this is balanced?

Attention and energy are finite. If success in education or in your job require a disproportionate amount of energy, then there's less to go around for giving a shit. It doesn't even have to be success, some people are struggling to make ends meet. So I guess that's the economy story?

People internalize conversations and the thought processes that went into them. If I have a conversation with somebody, I often walk away remembering and understanding what somebody else said and why they said it. And these memories get used in future interactions. So just like the offloading of arithmetic likely resulted in people not being able to perform mental math, what would be the result of conversing with an AI that has hallucination/logical issues (a lesser intelligence)? Isn't it reasonable to guess that this will result in diminished reasoning?

Making your ambitions/goals/dreams a reality.

Obviously there has to be some consideration to how realistic those goals are, or how much you can control.

I thought it was an interesting article. Though, when there is a perceived lack of opportunity, I think people start taking greater risks to create opportunity. Isn't that a rational outcome?

I don't know what fraction of the nearly 3 hour long video we're supposed to watch before commenting. What's the point behind trying to diminish his legacy? Why spend so much time doing this? He's absolutely known for his science communication and character. But I would think long and hard before criticizing his technical achievements, even if I were in this lady's shoes. We're talking about a 30-40 year career. It's funny because she speaks as if we're misguided about his expertise, but spends the first ten minutes rambling about his pop science book and "fenyman bros". What the fuck?

Is there any real criticism of his achievements as a scientist? The video isn't bookmarked in such a way to make it easy to find.

If you're not already rich, my suggestion is to get used to the idea of passing purely formal tests. It's a really common part of life for everyone else. Sorry.

The level of rationalization is crazy.

It's true. But acting like you're above the work also doesn't help you.

You've had musical training since you were 5? And you say

"Sometime when I was ~12 years old, I remember surprising my clarinet teacher by correctly repeating some random notes that he played. He told me I had perfect pitch, but I didn’t think so, because I couldn’t name notes for any instrument other than the clarinet."

Okay, so then this doesn't seem like an article written for the average musician (person).

Another point in the video is that there was no consent given from the content creator to train the AI. A model was trained on his writing without his permission.

I prefer traditional search engines. I still use google. I'm also perpetually frustrated though...

I'm not so sure that every industry generates excess to the point where working less doesn't result in loss. I haven't really kept up with the housing conversation either.

edit: I was going to speculate about equilibrium in the housing market, but it looks like there's already a conversation about that

because we still have to compete with each other over resources (opportunities, wage, customers, etc)? Working less wouldn't give you an advantage? It's a race to the bottom and you see it everywhere.

Not an economist.

For future reference, here's a well articulated description of what went wrong in the US:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1diXKxuoDOQ (see 22:35/23:00)

The video is about the popularity/rise of RFK Jr, however at around 23:00, the author does a retrospective on covid policy in the US. You don't need to watch the entire video, just 5-10 minutes starting at the timestamp above. Here are a few of the points raised in the video:

1. The risk-benefit ratio of the vaccine was different across different age groups and there was a mandate for young healthy adults which was scientifically unsupported.

2. Transmission rates were unaffected by the vaccines (studies referenced in the video at 23:38), yet mandates remained in effect. The point he was making here is that the US was slow to respond, and this had detrimental effects to people's livelihoods.

3. Paul Offit, who is a well known figure in virology, himself didn't comport with the CDC policy regarding vaccination. The point here is that even well regarded experts disagreed with the CDC.

The video goes on to describe how masking recommendations differed across countries, especially for young children. So yea, there's no need to wonder why trust in public policy has been eroded in the US.

do you send your friends hour long videos and hope that they get watched? because that never works for me.

About to start a CS Master's program.

Why does the channel have over 200k subs and the video less than a thousand views (as of now, 1 day after upload)?

You're aware that there are studies specifically trying to find out how well masks work at reducing the spread of covid, yes?

https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

I wonder why we're studying this...

>Of course masks work well at protecting you - why do you think people wear masks when exposed to dust?

Is that really it? That's all you need to conclude masks are effective at preventing the spread of airborne disease?
