@erikphoel Works now? Maybe it was a glitch. Or part of a game to acquire Substack ;)

Elon Musk has blocked all Substack links on Twitter from being RTed or liked. This gives huge advantage to the MSM he claims is bad, but ok. Canceled my Twitter blue, and likely won't be on this godforsaken platform for much longer. Please follow me on Substack (link below)

The Ottoman Empire limited the dissemination of printed books, fearing religious & political upheaval. Consequently, it missed out on the Enlightenment & lost its dominant status in science, technology, & ultimately lost its economic and military influence.

@TheMindScourge YouTube is one of humanity’s gems

Sounds exaggerated to say this, but it isn’t: EVERYONE underestimates YouTube

@ollieglass Yes! It is a very interesting forcing function. Perhaps the single most interesting one in this development. Finally we might be forced to define what true creativity is.

The more AI can do that people can do, the more we can clarify what only people can do

@LifespanDevelop @MasterTimBlais Yes, they get curious and want to do stuff themselves. But they also want a huge amount of intimacy, depending on personality.

@fuddenfeldt @MasterTimBlais Yeah it makes a lot of sense. Do the kids naturally want some space as they get to walking age? Like is their sense of autonomy a gradual process? In your exp?

that babies cry so much implies that either ancestral humans had no predators homing the sound of infant, or we're doing something wrong now

@SubsetTopology Let me try: training is learning a model. Skill is how well you carry out your model (how little error). Intelligence is how quickly you can correct those errors, but also more broadly to evaluate and challenge the very model itself.

@hansbrattberg Kristallklart ju!

Sådär, nu har jag koll på bibeln!

@LifespanDevelop @MasterTimBlais Mostly from observing my own kids and a some anthropology book I read on the differences between ‘modern’ parenting and hunter-gathering societies. For example it’s pretty insane that we insist on kids learning to sleep along from age 0, which is clearly not what they want.

@fuddenfeldt @MasterTimBlais Did you catch that from Gabor Mate?

@nickfloats That it looks … weirdly glossy and glowy…?

To all the AI photo forensics out there, can you *actually* tell that this photo was made by AI? What's the giveaway here? This is straight from Midjourney v5, no edits. Full prompt in ALT tag

Technology is an ever cresting wave. Fight it or ride it.

In 2033 it will seem utterly baffling how a bunch of tech folks lost their minds over text generators in 2023 -- like reading about Eliza or Minsky's 1970 quote about achieving human-level general intelligence by 1975

@SahilBloom Quitting news is the best thing I’ve done.

Negativity in media headlines has steadily increased since 2010. On the rise: • Anger • Disgust • Fear • Sadness On the decline: • Joy • Neutrality This is fascinating…

Now imagine this but with an AGI. If anything it will be good fun! youtu.be/PgT8tPChbqc

Useful but never beautiful.

AI-generated text is like elevator music.

@stoneyybaloneyy Because without them there is no future worth fighting for. And I trust that life on this plant can be good, even wonderful, well into the future UNLESS we give up.

@LinusEkenstam @hturan Beautiful!

AI ❤️ Humans This is brainstorming on absolute steroids, almost cheating 🔥 This is a force-directed knowledge graph interface for GPT4 made by @hturan It prompts new questions to ask based on its own generated responses.

@spakhm It’s incredible that anything gets built given how hard it is.
