God I hate these pages-long twitter threads.

"This is not an unreasonable thing to do, given that they have a global audience"

Clearly that was not their motivation. In fact I'd argue that it's the global audience that were most annoyed by this.

Thin, frenzel-free VR goggles in the future then?

More like highly criminal behaviour like fraud and extortion.

That's not very sound logic.

I have exactly the same thing. Most tinnitus is caused damage to the hair cells in the cochlea from loud noises for extended periods of time (as is mine). My theory is that the brain basically turns up the gain to compensate for the poor performance of the sensor. I think tinnitus is basically interference, or cross-talk from other nervous processes that normally are low level background.

Last time I went for a hearing test the doctor asked me if I had been in an explosion (not to my knowledge).

"according to a person familiar with the situation."

They'd bring to the table having been CEO and CTO of OpenAI. That's a lot of relevant knowledge and experience (the latter being the more important in this case).

Sounds perverse somehow.

Sherpa?

If the CFCs were not in the atmosphere, the natural occurrences would not have had this effect.

Are there examples of YC investments that have become successful after a pivot?

Ditto.

Please don't blame Microservices insanity on JavaScript and Node.

That's true for any product.

Perhaps the dream is just pressing the buttons that make you think you are looking at a fully realised magazine article.

But it's a process, and one that presumably consumes quite large amounts of energy. Doesn't sound like a simple byproduct to me.

I'm not seriously proposing this, but what if the "subconscious" (whatever came up with your obstetrician names without you perceiving it) is actually another consciousness, "locked in". Perhaps there is another story here, where a dream was had about a party, and the observer felt they were coming up with humorous names for an obstetrician.

Perhaps another "Paul M. Out"

I have experienced this too.

In a similar vein, I find trying to explain something to someone gives you a good feel for how well you understand it. Often I find that I don't understand things as well as I thought after such an exercise.

Tapes gave us the mix-tape - a beautiful thing for sharing.

I think Von Neumann suggested what might be needed to engineer a complex self-replicating system. He didn't suggest a process that might incrementally lead to that though (abiogenesis in the case of biological life), which might be able to rely on simple chemical behaviors to start accumulating complexity.

The letter X, brought to you today by Mr X (Elon Musk).

That's a very short sighted business strategy if true. Simply liquidating their reputation. Those junk AI results have certainly led to me using Google less.

Thanks, I needed a laugh with my morning coffee.

Those answers are >50% total junk though.

I'm not sure that really explained much.

Looks like that plotter is quite pricey. Can anyone recommend something cheaper to experiment with?

Personally I don't see most synth content creators as reviewers, but more like demonstrators who have taken the time to understand the device a bit and can show you around it. There are some examples where they are quite candid with criticism though (e.g. loopop).

> But youtube videos of this genre, they grind it down to a dozen. It's impressive.

True. Diluted in memes, bad jokes, and stock video imagery.
