Update: I've joined @AnthropicAI and taken leave from the university. Excited to work with many talented, mission-driven people on the defining technology of our time.
Estic al tren sentint la conversa d'un grup de noies de 18-19 anys, es brutal com tenen tota la gent de la seva edat perfectament situada en una jerarquia social
j ai appris à mon ex à utiliser des baguettes et aujourd hui elle est en lune de miel au japon parfois on plante un arbre sans penser qu un autre va manger les fruits

It's honestly surprising how far web development has come.
Dejar a los niños jugar solos al aire libre exponiéndose a riesgos controlados (escalar árboles, jugar con agua o fuego, luchar de broma, explorar zonas donde hay riesgo de perderse, correr a gran velocidad, saltar desde cierta altura...) es necesario para su correcto desarrollo.
Aumenta significativamente su autoconfianza y su sentimiento de competencia, mejora el bienestar psicológico, fortalece la resiliencia emocional y les ayuda a regular el miedo de forma saludable (efecto anti-fóbico). Además, favorece el desarrollo físico (fuerza, coordinación, equilibrio y habilidades motoras), incrementa la actividad física y reduce el sedentarismo. A nivel social, mejora sus habilidades de interacción con otros niños, la resolución de conflictos, la cooperación y el liderazgo. También estimula la creatividad, la resolución de problemas y la capacidad de evaluar y gestionar riesgos reales por sí mismos.
Por el contrario, apartarlos de cualquier peligro y sobreprotegerlos aumenta notablemente el riesgo de desarrollar fobias y ansiedad, reduce su resiliencia, disminuye su autoestima y su capacidad para manejar el estrés y los desafíos de la vida. También favorece el sedentarismo, la obesidad, un menor desarrollo de habilidades motoras y peores competencias sociales, dejando a los niños menos preparados para enfrentarse al mundo real.
@TARSRel0aded Let him know that all of us adults can feel like kids at our core. It’s just a matter of not letting the world tear you down. There will be social pressure to not be whimsical, but if you be who you want to be you’ll attract the right people who can be with you for your life.
Mathematician Terence Tao offers a counterintuitive take: AI doesn't look intelligent because our definition of intelligence was wrong all along.
He argues that the entire history of AI has followed a predictable pattern:
"The history of AI has been here's a task that only humans can do, like maybe it is read natural language or win at chess or solve a math problem, and then one by one someone finds some AI algorithm that also does that."
But every time a machine cracks one of these "uniquely human" tasks, we move the goalposts.
The solution never feels like real thinking:
"You look at how it's done and it doesn't feel like intelligence. It's, oh, it was some trick. You just cobbled together these neural networks and you ran some algorithm, and we were looking for some elusive intelligent way of thinking, and we don't see it in the tools that actually solve our goals."
Tao then flips the problem on its head.
What if the issue isn't with the machines, but with us?
"But maybe it's actually because intelligence is not what we think it is."
He points to large language models as the clearest case. What they do sounds almost embarrassingly simple:
"Large language models in particular become very successful, and a lot of what they're doing is just predicting the next token, clicking the next word in a sentence. And that doesn't sound like something which is intelligent."
To show why this feels wrong, Tao draws a comparison to how we'd judge a human doing the same thing:
"If you ask someone to improvise a speech and they have no preparation, and at every moment they're just saying the next word that comes to their mind, you don't think that this could actually work."
And yet it works for LLMs. Which forces an uncomfortable possibility:
"Maybe that's actually a lot of what humans do as well."
