It’s grueling work, not fun, and you’ll have to live with your parents, but I swear to you, RIGHT THIS SECOND is the right time to start working on your dream. It will take years before it gets to the really fun part, but our economy will start having lots of room in about 7-8 years

It’s amazing how much life sucks right now and when you dig down into it is because people are lazy and have no sense of pride in their craft
Kind of amazing that outlets are still saying the student cited the Bible in her essay - she didn't! The essay is incredibly short! You could just read it!
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Zoiks. That’s real bad.
A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

It’s one of the things I find terrifying about the current very weird shit some of these people believe. Like, no wonder they don’t care if a million people die of something. They’re talking themselves into not believing in other people in a very real, actionable sense.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

In the 80s and 90s, every family sitcom did a Christmas special.
The most insane of which was the 1990s family sitcom Dinosaurs (basically a combination of Roseanne and Growing Pains but everyone is a dinosaur) which, for obvious reasons, didn't have Christmas, so they celebrated Refrigerator Day

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?
You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Having an ambiguous carrot and stick is far more effective than making explicit demands. It result in people self-censoring far beyond what legislation alone could ever hope to achieve. Be it out of fear of crackdowns, or to curry favor with the ruling party. The outcome is still the same.

Tonight Ketkrókur (Meat Hook), the 12th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He loves meat and uses a long metal hook to steal mutton hanged up in rafters for smoking.
Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

Anil is spot on here! The usefulness of LLMs is not how they are being sold currently by the CEO’s and it will inevitably backfire,sure
BUT they are still going to end up being very helpful down the line in some more niche ways with data synthesis tasks etc
This is a simple baby bathwater scenario

The key thing here: they shouldn’t use them for that! Trying to apply LLMs to all kinds of areas where they’re not appropriate is a tactic that the Big AI companies are advocating as part of their agenda, for obvious reasons. The most important part is not accepting the framing that they’re pushing.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

I ruined someone’s attempt to happily surprise me when we were awkward tweens and watched her slowly and sadly drift away. Neither of us handled it well, but I did learn a valuable lesson that goes right along with how sometimes it’s not important for everyone to know that you were right
