- I asked the AI for the least inspiring inspirational poster and I weirdly like it
- Interesting. The AI totally fails the cognitive reflection test. It gives the intuitive but incorrect answer every time.
- Regarding the current vax & free speech debate; it’s a complex and nuanced topic. But a key point, we should keep foremost in our minds, is that Joe Rogan, RFK Jnr, and Elon Musk are fkn idiots.
- This is pretty big. The Australian government has moved to remove all fee support from humanities degrees across the board, steering students towards STEM and health-related degrees
- I think I speak for the whole Twitter community when I say I’ve been quite surprised at how just plain stupid Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk have proven themselves to be
- This is so embarrassing for you America, I’m so sorryThey came after the wrong man.
- Replying to @ArthurCDentThis is despite doing fine with similar word math problems. It is theoretically satisfying, since the neural network is most certainly non-reflective. It’s an association machine, which is basically how intuitive reasoning works.
- Still kinda stunned about Noam Chomsky describing LLMs as totally uninteresting. I mean, regardless of your opinion on them, for a linguist, they’ve got to be one of the most interesting things that have ever happened 🤷♂️ Can’t fathom that take.
- There is this thing where you frame your petty middle-class gripes: a waitress handing you a salad, a student not calling you ‘doctor’, or someone mispronouncing your name, in very a particular way
- Few people choosing the correct answer which is to sell your button press to someone worth $100m+ for $10mMathematics. You only have one button press to receive a potentially nice monetary award. Which do you press?
- Replying to @ArthurCDentSo this is even more interesting. With a little bit of help, it eventually worked its way to the correct answer, even if the reasoning is a little odd!
