Assuming that's true.

I think a few years ago we were, but not anymore. I hope, at least, that European politicians have learned.

Most beautiful pelican so far.

We're having so many moments! Every day a new moment.

Time to short them, you say?

But will they? How greatly are they leveraged? Even if the economics don't work out anymore, they'll be able to sell capacity, pivot, etc. without causing an implosion.

I agree, having learned something with flashcards is like you have a repertoire to choose from. Instead of having to sort everything A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3 you get to sort A, B, C. It has built in chunking. And what I noticed is that with memorizing comes understanding. Your flashcard says A on the front and A1, A2, A3 on the back. After reading it a few times you will understand what A means. But it will also help you put together the overall topic of A, B, C. It is wonderful compression.

Breaking news: TikTok is bad for you

I know a technology like that was used ~20 years ago for ADHD. EEG feedback, as soon as the kid looks away or zones out, the movie stops playing.

It's a joke

Just because he fails publicly sometimes does not mean he only makes bad decisions. Facebook is still incredibly successful. The market may apply a Zuckerberg discount compared to other tech companies, but that is not the same thing as saying he has been a bad operator.

Does that take anything away from the argument?

I have been getting a lot more into DIY and that's my experience myself. I keep running back to the store because there is some detail I haven't considered. Iteration time is so much slower than software... kinda bugs me how much you have to plan upfront and think through instead of just YAGNI and agile-ing your way through it.

In the end they treat a podcast like this as PR. "We're great". Elaborate rationalizations of their decisions.

I agree history shows that decentralization is generally superior to centralization, in a way thats a core tenet our free and open societies are built on.

But yeah it's much more nuanced than just a black and white dichotomy or even a continuum, a body needs a head with one brain, the brain has many parts, each part has many nerve cells which are autonomous, ...

In the light of the current landscape, it seems important to me to funnel resources to capturing of the some new value which will be created. Indecisiveness, misinformation and regulation instead of opening up opportunities are some issues I see today that could be and are solved by centralization. Maybe I am just FOMOing as Europoor, though, and will be happy in 20 years to live in stability and not anarcho-capitalism. Who knows.

That is exactly the point, though. Centralization starts to offer real advantages because the cost of complexity has increased significantly in decentralized Western societies. Yes, centralization can be inefficient, but it also makes decision-making much easier.

Public opinion in Western societies has become far more fragmented and heterogeneous, largely because of the internet. There is much more internal disagreement and constant contestation. I think that is a strong example of a factor that significantly increases the cost of complexity.

In a way, that is why we are now trying to emulate certain aspects of centralization. The United States does a relatively good job at this, and I am not making a judgment on whether that is positive or negative. But here in the European Union, we are so decentralized that we often struggle to reach agreement on major issues.

Not sure if it's suited for that. If you read the article it's stated that it is basically a research project to see how far they can push it with small models.

Without clear hypotheses you will have a lot of false positives. Which are quite costly in healthcare.

Feels like the people who want to do it spend their time here arguing about it, and the people who will do it are the ones in the trenches epxerimenting and trying to make it work. The OP is just insight porn at this point.

Doesn't feel fake at all...

And honestly, you're brave to point that out.

Like endymi0n said, for me it was just about the amazement of how qualitatively different this technology was than anything we had before. Not in a functional sense of how it provides an output to anything. That was probably when I used it to spin up an app via Terraform in days despite having not much prior knowledge of infrastructure. Digging through Stackoverflow would have took at least 10 times more time.

Kind of peculiar and memorable story for me.

I was on the couch on my Nintendo Switch, playing around with ChatGPT 3 and asked it where to find a specific item in Zelda Breath of the Wild. When it provided a coherent answer I was just dumbfounded. To be fair, the answer was semi-hallucinated but partly true. But it made me realize what kind of breakthrough it must be for some program to provide an answer to this without searching external sources (which it couldn't do yet). Such a small data point, like a drop in the vast sea of human knowledge space.

Prompted me to do some back on the envelope calculation. The weights of this model were a few hundred GBs. I just realized what kind of quantum leap it was to compress this seemingly infinite knowledge space into a few GB of weights.

Dodged a bullet... seems like they still have integrity.

It's our collective God complex playing out and eating us up

I feel like one mental model here is that the attention is limited and under capitalism capital aggregates in the hands of few. Their attention is limited to things that immediately better their position, the most capital-efficient thing to do is to gather more capital.

Cheaper prices, affordable housing, affordable healthcare are less capital-efficient. If you're Walmart, sure, you would like to lower prices as much as possible. But your leverage really isn't as big as finance or tech. If you're a politician, you might also pursue those goals, but your attention and leverage really isn't as focused as that of the money machine.

How is that the smart move? It's exactly what OP stated as undesirable for index fund investors. The price discovery of the public markets hasn't taken place yet.

And honestly? That's brave.
