<p>By the legal definition it is. You might mean just Facebook, or just twitter, but it's pretty much any website or application that has a messaging capability, excluding games. You can see the issue with such a wide and vague definition.<p>Some people are scared of paedos talking to the kids, other people  are scared the kids will watch bad videos, or read bad things. They are two distinct issues lumped in under the "social media" banner, and it can be hard to guess which issue a hysterical parent is referring too.<p>Hn is social media and even has a doomacrollint algorithm but because it's not classically considered to be akin to twitter, tiktok or Facebook it gets away with it</p>

<p>> it can lead to profound insights<p>It's because the drug is activating your reward centres, ideas are more likely to seem good etc. coke has a similar same effect.<p>> helping with depression
Acid shrooms and the related mdma are all feel good drugs. Salvia on the other hand has no such feel good effect but is massively hallucinatory and perturbant. It helps with depression cos it's a feelgood drug.</p>

<p>My suspicion is coding agents didnt just train on source code but also on human discussions from message boards. There is no equivalent source for this data in advertising... That I know of. Any large scale question and answers boards pertaining to advertising, that have pretty much covered every common query of the past twenty years? If that exists, then I'm wrong.</p>

<p>> Can they scale the number of users on enterprise plans the way they did for coding but in a more general way for all knowledge jobs?<p>Do these knowledge jobs have a significant corpus of not only knowledge but discussion and problem solving, all conveniently labelled for the AI to train on? Probably not. Coding has stack overflow, what does, say, advertising use?</p>

<p>Because of it's unpredictability and massive dependence on the training data, when LLMs start hallucinating most of the time the only fix these "engineers" have is to feed it another LLM...  The genius was the transformer architecture, and evidently none of us have a damn clue how it works</p>

<p>Plus the natural tendency if societies is to split.... People always disagree with each other, probably as an evolutionary advantage if you think about it. If we keep fighting with each other it's actually speeding up evolution</p>

<p>> $400k for a house is backed by the house.<p>And the deposit. A bad faith actor could immediately default on their brand new mortgage and the bank would need to spend money going through the courts reclaiming then selling the house.... That simply costs money . The deposit covers that risk.<p>This is not to mention people burning a house down. Bank can hardly recoup the sale price from a burnt out husk.<p>If houses were such low risk assets, banks would be buying them. They wouldn't be selling you a shovel in a goldrush and letting you take all the risk</p>
