Had a session with very senior folks on how they build with AI and can’t help thinking there’s no better time to learn, clarify, brainstorm, write, debate, plan, design, code, debug, review, analyze, delegate, play, and in general do more more while doing less with AI—so psyched!

occurs to me that plastic surgeons are probably going to see an increase in requests to alter faces to meet AI image standards. Both because people use the tools to brainstorm the surgeries they want, and also because AI images are proliferating in public consciousness Related

The stories humans most enjoy usually begin with hope, descend into catastrophe, and end in triumph. Joseph Campbell wrote about the Hero’s Journey in the 1940s. Since then, advances in big data and machine learning have given researchers new ways to analyze stories. In one study, researchers used sentiment analysis to track the emotional trajectories of 112,000 plots from books, movies, video games, and even commercials. Their main conclusion was striking. If we had to summarize the average story humans tell, it would go something like this: “Things get worse and worse until, at the last min… Related

College in 2015, meeting after class to brainstorm for a campus humor magazine. Theme: unusual ways to get a haircut. I offered “get captured by ISIS” (a beheading video had just leaked). Audible groans around the table. Very bad of me! Related

I think that AI is helping us in ways that will only become clear in several years, as it is helping clarify knowledge, science and philosophy. In other words, I believe that it may usher in a new intellectual golden age, but not necessarily directly (by what “it” finds). Rather, it may force a reshaping of the current social hierarchies. Many people who have reigned over academia for decades are finding themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, other models are slowly being valorized. If I am correct, we are in for quite a fight. It will get vicious. What I find interesting with OpenAI breakin… OpenAI Related

A friend turned me on to asking Fable to wireframe different options when I have a tricky UI problem with a lot of requirements and too many possible paths. Game changing. Gives me flashbacks to what @bmoesta taught me about using orthogonal arrays when an engineering problem has too many variables. It's not about one-shotting the answer. It's about getting enough contrast between options to clarify which variables (aka "factors") are most important. Not which solution is best -- which variables matter more. THEN I can use that knowledge to decide to fix certain variables and narrow the space… Related

Education teaches you to analyze. Entrepreneurship teaches you to create. The educated mindset is great at dissecting and criticizing. What did Shakespeare mean here? What were the major forces of this historical period? What is the limiting reagent in this chemical reaction? The entrepreneurial mindset is great at building and improving. Design a better product. Craft a new marketing plan. Stop talking about what's wrong and make something better. The trick is to keep learning, but to never lose your ability to build. Related

but but if you have good locality where you you clearly stating what you're importing and whatever and and you can analyze just a single source file and from that extract its protocol to the outside world without having to to know anything deeper. Do you do you know what I mean? I think those are important aspects just simply to reduce the size of the of the of the context window and also make it easier to summarize each module in a program, right?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
