During the interview, Kat openly admitted to not being productive but shared that she still appeared to be productive because she gets others to do work for her. She relies on volunteers who are willing to do free work for her, which is her top productivity advice.

Productivity pro tip: you can get a lot more done if you can just convince other people to do your work for you for free

I actually personally happen to think it's bad when people die but you do you weird lesswrong guy

hero images and their consequences have been a disaster something something something

Dang, I remember seeing this many years ago when it was still at like 1998-browser levels of functionality, really cool to see how much progress they've made! It'd be awesome to have more non-commercial browser engines out there.

I really love the serenity os project as well honestly, glad it's not just me who likes that old style of UI (though I'm sad they seem to have dropped the classic Mac style universal menubar...)

couple things:

1. in the article it turns out he isn't even actually generating the images, he just created 187 AI images and it rotates through them
2. one of the most insane things about our society right now has to be that someone can come out and say "the goal is to create the most addicting thing" and expect praise for it :/
3. a woman made a version with men, "FriendOrFoeAI", and the twitter replies (and her replies to them) are amazing

Would you still find it in bad taste if it asked "Do you find her attractive? Yes/No" to fine tune mating preferences rather than the crude "Smash or Pass"?

There’s something infuriating about this. Making basic errors that show you don’t have the faintest grasp on what people are arguing about, and then acting like the people who take the time to get Ph.Ds and don’t end up agreeing with your half-baked arguments are just too stupid to be worth listening to is outrageous. Hey, that's what we've been saying for years!

For real though, we must have reached Peak Ad at some point, or at least we're deep into the realm of diminishing returns. This can't go on forever, right? I mean there's a finite number of things that need to be advertised and a finite number of people with a finite amount of time and patience to look at ads. How long until it all collapses?

I like how the assumption seems to be that the thing users object to about "websites track your browsing history around the web in order to show you targeted ads" is... the "websites" part

Raise your hands if you’d rather go back to a world without Airbnb.

I mean the sneers just write themselves

Exman tells PopSci that, even with ChatGPT’s deficiencies, administrators believe the tool remains the simplest way to legally comply with new legislation.

I mean it's certainly simpler to do things incorrectly. Can't argue with this logic

there actually is a comment making this point now:

Isn't this product kind of impossible? Like a compression program that compresses compressed files? If you have an algorithm for determining whether a generated image is good or bad couldn't the same logic be incorporated into the network so that it doesn't generate bad images?

the reply is a work of art:

We’re optimistic about using our own algorithms and models to evaluate another model. In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).

it's not even wrong, as they say
