@heresyfinancial Money is fungible. It makes no sense to track individual dollars.

@Rainmaker1973 Also, all of humanity's success

@BillAckman Yeah, why not. Last time we invaded a four letter country that started with Ira because it had weapons of mass destruction, it went so well for everyone.

@theallinpod @reidhoffman @OpenAI Love that you had Reid on and asked him tough questions. But interrupting your guest repeatedly and springing an unexpected co-guest on him is unacceptable. No left-leaning person will want to come on after this.

@lexfridman Keep fighting the good fight

@Rainmaker1973 Clearly 16

@JonHaidt What about Pascal's Mugging? If we act on alarms that are unlikely but bad enough if true, we end up in a bad state little by little.

@IsaacKing314 @atroyn No actual evidence needs to be involved to have a Bayesian probability!

Even for objectivists, Bayesian probabilities can be completely contrary to presented evidence (i.e., in case the prior distribution places no weight in the heaviest part of the data distribution).

@Mayhem4Markets Agree. "Investing" is also gambling though. Just slower gambling.

@Jbanklestankle1 @engineers_feed This is actually phenomenal

@emollick This is a great study! Given the key role of the frontier, it would be really cool to systematically investigate what puts a task inside and outside of it and see if there is any consistency across models to get one step closer to a "manual" for LLMs

@jack Best part of this is that Jack reads the NYP like I do.

Why's no one talking about the last time an emerging technology was rapidly slowed down due to perceived risk?

#degrowth is the reversal of centuries of progress coated in populist anti-corporate and environmentalist slogans.

In reality, the rich will be hurt least and the environment will not be fixed. We are beyond the point of no return.

Do you want to stop progress?

@pmddomingos More like a spaceship outracing a go cart on an indoor race track.

@historydefined Are these machine generated and then edited?

@PessimistsArc Yeah, but what if he was right in 1863 and is still right now?
