Well that’s a fairly consistent pov. “God of the Gaps” is what it’s called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it’s probably not one of the worst ways to think

Dopamine used to be considered the generic pleasure chemical, but I think it’s not anymore. Has more to do with reward pathways and learning, maybe?

Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

  • those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
  • those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there’s way too much of the second group. We’re definitely getting what we pay for here.

Top 10 Generative AI Models Mimic Russian Disinformation Claims A Third of the Time, Citing Moscow-Created Fake Local News Sites as Authoritative Sources (www.newsguardtech.com)

NewsGuard audit finds that 32% of the time, leading AI chatbots spread Russian disinformation narratives created by John Mark Dougan, an American fugitive now operating from Moscow, citing his fake local news sites and fabricated claims on YouTube as reliable sources....

It’s just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury’s still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I’m finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what’s happening next.

Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.

I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?

These are just people skills. Of course you’re gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.

And it’s not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.

A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren’t above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.

U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly (www.nytimes.com)

The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device....

I don’t really see how it isn’t antitrust stuff. Apple has used their market power to restrict competition at every possible opportunity.

You’re right, but only to the extent that the capital coming from your users is disproportionate. Some spaces have money coming from mostly those plebeian users.

This is like a CIA Pulitzer. Nintendo could not have made a better endorsement of Yuzu’s performance.

I think this is part of the reason that Google sucks nowadays. I genuinely don’t feel like I can trust it for finding products.

Yeah too much of this thread is so hypocritical, but either free to copy stuff should be free or it shouldn’t.
