Social networks hijacked the natural reward system people have regarding interpersonal interaction.
What's the analogy for LLMs? Outsourcing thought (which used to be required to accomplish things) to a crappy simulation of it?
Or another way to look at it, engagement algorithms on social media prioritize empty content that's easy and mindless to consume. RLHF or whatever preference optimization algorithm trains LLMs prioritizes empty but plausible content that replaces real thought and writing effort.
Our stomachs (fast food), our social skills, and now our thinking are all atrophying.
It's awful that we can never seem to predict what the next big ill to society will be. We just plow forward until we crash into it, let it do its damage, and hope for the best. There is nobody at the wheel and we have big problems that we all need to find a way to deal with collectively. It's incredibly concerning.
Mailbox.org is one of the alternatives that I was looking at.
I’m just surprised that there is a bunch of hosting companies that say “we offer hosting and webmail in one package” but without 2FA. So I was wondering is 2FA so complex that it is not part of entry level hosting services.
Fair enough, but I think that makes this a lesson in the importance of context.
When someone uses quotes in their own informal original writing, they will often be received as scare quotes[1]. Knowing nothing about that author, I would assume he is using the word with some detachment. He knows the analysis wasn't trying to guess the pope, but he is having fun with the fact that the analysis pointed in the right direction.
When someone uses quotes to summarize something someone else wrote or said, especially when it is in a more formal context like a headline, it generally comes across as a direct quote. The headline therefore implies that the goal of this exercise was to predict the pope, which the article directly refutes.
The quote in the context of the headline wasn't "guessed" it was "How we 'guessed' the Pope using network science".
The way he phrased it, it's existing code, though he doesn't say it's by AI. From the article: “I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,”
I've been creating product demo videos for more that 10 years. Camtasia is worth the money when in comes to capture. I hate the fact that they have switched to per-year pricing. I still use version from 2021 and it is great.
Yes. It's annoying with the subscription if you need it sporadically. Also, only after producing the video I figured that with the AI Avatar (as well with the TTS voice) I am a bit in a vendor lock situation. Switching to another service would mean losing the character and consistency.
On the other hand maybe just keeping the brand (logos) would be enough if I decide to move to move away from HeyGen for some reason.
Oh, I do hope that there will be an option to reduce the price if setting is off. I've thought of the same thing. And this all reminds me of MS price hike (also with including the AI) -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42735193
