almost every smart person I talk to in tech is in favor of aerosolized sulfates to increase the earth's albedo in order to deal with climate change. people are absolutely fed up with the lefty approach of using climate as a pretextual cudgel to install socialism.
I keep hearing from executives that they expect that a new generation of "AI natives" will show them how to use AI. I think this is a mistake:
1) Our research shows younger people do not really get AI or how to integrate into work
2) Experienced managers are often good prompters
@ESYudkowsky Break the task down and give it one small thing at a time. It’ll still fail! Give it multiple tries with different seeds. Treat it like an intern & calibrate your expectations accordingly. Some interns don’t get asked back.
I suspect most people don’t have good intuition about falling from the sky… but yes, I was once called a hero for fixing a physics engine and all I did was double the gravity constant and recompile
I always wondered why games almost never use realistic gravity.
Turns out realistic gravity just seems way too floaty.
Does anyone know why? Maybe we're just not used to actually falling such distances?
Yeah but like ignore them? Like the Greek system in colleges, it has its own internal politics and leaderboard but no bearing on actual success. Just build your thing and make it great. Half the people who go to events in SF are strivers who can’t build anything.
"this incentivizes morally flexible behavior, trapping these previously untainted ambitious people into a caricature of aggressively self-serving justifiers of material success."
I love SF but this is also my biggest annoyance.
competitive daydreamers gathered in Tokyo today for the “2024 Space-out Competition”
Heart rates were checked and anyone who laughs, talks or dozes off was eliminated during the 90 min competition.
