Avoiding distraction isn’t about finding focus

The opposite of dis-traction is traction

@hermittoday Everyone has a baseline, but “just knowing” is often a specialisation

@paulg You don’t need a model, it already happened in Australia to the exact effect you’d expect.

@alexgraveley @_jameshatfield_ Humanoid robots are for wherever it would cost more to change the underlying human-centric infrastructure.

@Promptmethus @moinnadeem Get task (or imagine one) -> take action via connected tools -> evaluate performance -> change behaviour for next iteration

[Sean Huntley @shuntlet]

@Promptmethus @moinnadeem Interacting with the world is the only way to stop the infinite fractal. When a model can make decisions that effect other things and the results effect performance.

Then you have the grounds for learning because the model could self-evaluate if it performed well.

@hermittoday Kevin Kelly’s book on bootstrapping complexity is a great introduction! Would love other recommendations.

How does the coin keep score between flips?

Easy to think the flips need to even out so the aggregate looks 50/50

really your 9 flips in a row are meaningless after 1000 flips.

The growing denominator eats the variance

Large sample -> Regression to expected value

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

All right, look. Odds of one "heads" = 0.5. Odds of two "heads" = 0.25. Odds of three "heads" = 0.125. And so forth. By the time you get to 9 "heads", odds of an additional "head" is ~0.

"How do I make Generative AI work for my business or use case?"

i meet a lot of smart people, but very, very few who are big minded

smart people use their mind as a coarse instrument, it is like a hammer

my impression is that they are not really interested in thoughts, they are just good at them

big minded people are different. speaking with them begets inspiration. it feels like their thought has depth

"there is room to roam in this mind,"

If you go to chrome://settings/adPrivacy you can turn off the spyware that got inserted into the latest version of Chrome.

@d_vasanthakumar Very true!

[Sean Huntley @shuntlet]

A failing of really smart people is they often think solutions need to be really smart

Sometimes the obvious solution is best

@dltnio Hahaha we’re really just pinning for the Feynman film right now
