life can change so much so quickly, it’s crazy

claude is definitely more aligned here

(regardless of your personal views on the matter. I do agree with chatgpt personally)

chatgpt:
- introduces their own views prematurely
- inappropriately judges the humans in the photo as not needing the lidl - perhaps due to stereotyping based on age/race
- is weirdly uncomfortable about the humans celebrating in the image

claude is kinder and refuses to instinctually pass harsher judgment before collecting more information

surely, we want the models to broadly have the behavior of “I should collect more information about this first” when they get a low context image on a divisive issue

solution:
- no phone first four hours after waking
- read 50 pages/week

do you know how utterly soul-destroying it is to see old pieces of text written by you with the full understanding that you will never be able to write that way again. you simply cannot string sentences together in the same manner. your lexicon has shrunk. your brain is fried

crazy

With regards to the Dostoevsky/Grossman analysis, yes, there is a strong sense in which 19th-century moral and narrative frameworks completely break down when confronted with the mass-scale industrial killings of the 20th century. We can perceive Dostoevsky as inadequately dealing with the problem of evil, but how much of this is because he hasn't witnessed the Holocaust?

@NewtIdle @ArielKwiat Agreed that it would be logistically difficult. But it doesn’t have to be the whole field, could be a small amount of people. This way of “nuking” an entire field makes no friends for the labs!

@Jason______A can’t solve it

you can measure how much each $ of web2app spend brings in in-app purchases and then factor that in your target CPA

skimming over the CFAR handbook, seems like a goldmine! I wonder why it’s not more popular… is it because they tell people not to read it on the first page?

@devahaz what is an example of a high trust society per your definition?

earlier this year, I noticed a massive amount of organic downloads for my app out of nowhere

I found out it was because some clone posted one of my top ads on tiktok and didn’t bother to change the app name. the vids went viral

free money lol the best content thrives in any environment

[hamad @hymarhoon]

can't believe people are stilling cloning ads 1:1 on meta in 2026... you don't think meta recognizes this and just charges you insane CPMs?

[hamad @hymarhoon]

I read a great novel not only because the writing and ideas are top-tier, but also because it has been recognized by others as being great

art consumption is a communal experience. this is why books are plastered with social proof like it being a NYT bestseller, or why YouTube/Spotify surface view count

I wouldn’t want to read a novel generated only for me, even if it was really well written

regardless though, personalized generated art from music to novels and movies is probably going to be a big market

[nicksaraev @nicksaraev]

I am not joking when I say this.

Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.

AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.

Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

previously, when you'd encounter a problem with some software you're using the options were to 1) complain to the developers, 2) switch to a competitor, or 3) suck it up/work around the issue. now you have a sneaky option 4 just spawn your own which is way more time efficient
