If you're explaining to someone who is presumably a child or someone unfamiliar with programming and simulations, it's not that great because for them your simulation is a black box, and there's no intuition. Real world examples (easy in this case) are better to empirically convince someone.

There's a pretty good chance some of the people researching endometriosis and related stuff are using machine learning in one form or the other for their statistical analysis. Scientists have been using machine learning for stuff like that long before these chatbots.

What do you mean the evaluation map? I've never heard of that nomenclature again.

That embalming shit they did was weird. Ho Chi Minh actually specifically said he wanted a modest funeral and cremation, and a memorial which would be a hut on a hill where passer-bys could rest. But when he died the politburo was like nope, you become a mummy now.

By the way his wife was like wtf no but they did it anyways.
Also by the way, the son of the dude who embalmed him is Alexei Abrikosov, 2003 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Yeah, that's a good second step after you explain the rationale. For some reason thinking about many doors makes it psychologically easier to accept (probably because it is easier to grasp how hard it is to get it right the first time).

Btw, as horrible as what ICE is doing is, it's nothing compared to what they're doing in other countries. This is pure hypocrisy.

"I had no choice but to work for Palantir. If I didn't do that, I'd have to settle for a job like the ones 99% of the population is doing, and that just won't do. I was practically forced."

Yeah, it's also other stuff as well in this case, like communication skills and such things that are not always tested for. Sometimes it's just a personal thing, some therapists are fine for some people but not good for others. It's not really a precise science.

To be fair I think Kaplan was pretty legit as a physicist before Claude. But this claim reeks of bias.

By the way, I've found that the simplest way to explain it to someone is this: you will only get it right the first time 1 time in 3. That's your chances if you don't change, so changing gives you an advantage.

It's pretty odd to use a computer to simulate it as well... I remember when I first heard about it when I was little and I couldn't wrap my head around it so I tried it with my grandma's deck of cards. It's very easy to just do the thing in the real world, why would you code it lol

It is arguably better when the elites are morons. They can more easily be resisted.

This is well known and exploited by power. In Greece these days the ruling right wing party always credits the PM for positive things, while saying he didn't know for anything bad that happens. The Leader must be upheld because many people vote for the Leader, so his image has to be preserved.

To be fair, it is imo one of the hardest single digit multiplications (surpassed only maybe by 7*8).

When Gramsci said that (well he didn't say it like that, it's a loose translation but anyways) he at least had a positive picture for what the new world could be. But now all I see is shit.

Unfortunately I think this is true for a lot of what is being replaced by AI. We are at a low point culturally, and it's just the right time for AI to get a foothold.

Interesting, but we should be wondering why everyone else isn't fining tech giants way, way more. It seems to me that even this is tiny compared to the immense violations these corporations commit time and time again.

Ooooh I know what this is. He knows he is full of shit, but wants to attract attention to whatever stupid AI startup he wants to market.
