Every time we see this argument “this frees humanity to focus on higher things”

and then we see what actually humans are spending more time on,

- not books - not people - but mobile - senseless entertainment (2-3 hours daily on mobile ) - social media

If we stop using a part of brain, and that function (say memory or calculation) donwe actually use it ever again ?

Or we are becoming more and more zombies ?

So much so that most people are incapable of reading a book,

Or even watching a 3 hour movie.

Say what you may, but this extra time is not being used for meaningfup stuff.

Devices are becoming smart and our brains & bodies are becoming dumber.

Simple way to know if a high school student can stand against high school student of 90s ?

Or even researchers or programmers ?

In depth of thinking and agency.

I want this to happen but real world evidence is not saying this.

If they simply take Chatgpt profiles, a button to share with others, and add a follow button for every qa pair.

- They have a quick social network with feed of qna with AI (like stackoverflow) immediately.

Modern authors should publish on their own websites,

And spend 6-12 months time before launch in marketing and talking on social media.

We need more empowered authors.

Jessica is my hero. Paul is a guiding force.

Every effort has some defect but it’s intention and effort which matters.

World would be a very different place without YC.

Thank you all !

Strange to see people supporting Zelensky here.

He has lots of history proving he is no innocent man.

He comes from theatre background, so he loves doing theatrics.

He is cause of this public infighting.

Look at full interview please.

- He is president of one of most corrupt countries, don’t think him as a saint.

- Look at reactions of his own ambassador, you will understand why she is disgusted.

- Trump is a straightforward man. Zelensky very well knew terms of deal before he flew to Washington.

But he came because this drama is what he wanted, for his selfish and sponsored agenda.

This will not end well for him.

Ukrainians need a different leadership.

Curious if AI models have already ingested this data.

Or this is just to avoid them scraping and being up to date.

Then only AWS AI can be monetized to help with their super complex platform.

What a genius idea !

- make platform super complex -> write disastrous documentation -> put it behind paywall

They don’t care if their customers keep getting hacked due to this complexity and unclear documentation.

Seeing the discussions, I would point out that a startup needs stability in leadership to grow that fast.

Look at Google, Meta, etc.

They were super stable in leadership when they took off.

Can’t say the same for OpenAI.

Also, being an AI researcher, them converting to profit org after accepting donations in name of humanity and non-profit is honestly shameful and will not attract most talented researchers.

Similar to what happened to Microsoft once they got labelled as “evil”.

So not refuting any of Matt’s points !

WPEngine literally exists on Matt’s product but they are neither ready to contribute dev hours or money (which can be used for development) to platform.

I don’t think this makes WPEngine looks good.

That’s what Matt said.

Now they are trying to legally block him for perfectly genuine points.

Would have been great if they clarified any of those points.

Matt’s points still hold true.
