The Economist estimates that AI has created about 1 million US jobs so far, against roughly 200,000 AI-attributed layoffs since mid-2023. The new roles pay more. Data-center installation and maintenance ads run about 40% above comparable work. Workers with AI skills earn a wage premium of over 60% (PwC). Companies most exposed to AI grew their headcount faster than the least exposed. Aging societies are running out of workers. Median age is already over 40 in Canada and much of Europe. Output per worker has to rise or living standards fall. We need a technology that makes each remaining worke… Europe economists Related

It is important to distinguish between rational arguments and moral arguments. If one says 'A super intelligent will kill us all'. They are making a moral statement, not a rational one. It is the same type of statements as in 'if you don't put plastic walls in the grocery stores, the elderly will die'. Or 'if you drive a gasoline car, you are destroying the planet'. All of these statements have a rational basis. But the rational basis is secondary in practice. The person making the statement does not have to provide rational evidence, and providing contrary rational evidence will not affect t… Quoting @cmuratori I don't follow this explanation.

LLM Knowledge Bases Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as markdown and images). The latest LLMs are quite good at it. So: Data ingest: I index source documents (articles, papers, repos, datasets, images, etc.) into a raw/ directory, then I use an LLM to incrementally "compile" a wiki, which is just a collection of .md files in a directory structure.

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.
Got it
