Re:The Case Against Social Media Is Stronger Than You Think
on Saturday September 13, 2025 @09:28PM (#45236671)
I don't think reasoning needs to be that complex. Addictive things are harmful, social media is design to be addictive (and is increasing). There is a correlation of higher addictiveness with harm. Children in particular are vulnerable for addictive things. So given the above, the expectation for social media which is highly addictive is that it would be highly harmful, unless there are clear reasons that it's not harmful.

The driver is probably more benign, openAI probably optimizes for longer conversations, i.e. engagement and what could be more engaging than thinking you've unlocked a hidden power with another being.
It's like the ultimate form of entertainment, personalized, participatory fiction that feels indistinguishable from reality. Whoever controls AI - controls the population.

The concept is kind of analogous in many ways on if one should have solar power to hedge against power outages. I.e definitely can be worth it but will take up time and investment with long payback period.
Re:I got OpenAI o1 to play the boardgame Codenames and it's super good
on Saturday January 25, 2025 @08:05AM (#42821407)
Yeah not sure what’s impressive about this. Having the model be both the guesser and clue giver will of course have good results as it’s simply a reflections of o1’s weighting of tokens.
Interestingly this could be a way to potentially reverse engineer o1’s weightings

Many many Japanese websites do not work. They have idiosyncratic navigation and dense and convoluted signup processes. Japanese user are used to this friction but websits do not succeed because of this complexity, they pass because of tolerant user base.

Nvidia has a de facto monopoly on AI hardware and software. The gross margins are clear telltale sign. The real question is are they doing anything anti competitive to unjustly create/maintain their monopoly which on the surface there does not seem to be any evidence of.

Re:Some Colleges Will Soon Charge $100k a Year. How Did This Happen?

This happens in the USA. The regulation is pushed by private companies to increase cost of market entry ( I.e. decrease competition) Japan has none of the crazy inflation in these categories. The other key variable is these are core essential needs hence people will continue to pay.
