ah, they never responded to me... while it is possible that they were busy , or that they also struggle with executive dysfunction & keeping up with correspondence, I think I'll play it safe & assume they hate me & want nothing to do with me. I should respect that & never reach out to them again

Substantial portions of conventional charity and philanthropy are extremely adverse to any kind of effort to impose rigor or ask in any way “is this working at all”. It’s not a strawman that they’re critiquing, at least in my personal experience.

Very Greek tragedy thing about LLMs is that they simulataneously provide clear evidence that writing is extremely important to cognition while they also cause people to stop doing it.

California has the most democratically legitimate dialysis regulation on earth.
Love the California ballot system. Does it produce good law? No. Does it reduce the power of special interests? Think again. But is it better for outcomes? Shut the fuck up it’s time to talk dialysis.

I remember being staggered by the vastness of GPT-3. I had been doing "Deep Learning" with 64 Mparam vision models that suddenly seemed like those 12 neuron networks they studied in the 80s.

Fine, I condemn Bong Bong the Clown. I find his japes perfunctory. His balloon animals strike me as vulgar. The bursts of laughter he evokes from children ring hollow to my ears. Now can we please get this city council meeting back on track

Some real Baudrillard going on with the hole at the top, solely there to ensure that you know that this is not a sculpture of nuts, but rather a sculpture of a sculpture of nuts. If it were only one level removed from nuts it might be obscene.
