Even AP doesn't ban the use of LLMs, its standards prohibit direct publishing of AI-generated content. I'm sure its writers leverage LLMs in some ways in their workflow, though. They would probably continue to use these even if AP attempted to ban LLMs (human incentives).

Basically an equivalent of simple algorithmic questions. Not "real" because it's impossible to share enough context of a real problem in an interview to make it practical. Short, testing principles, but most importantly basic thinking and problem solving facilities.

There are two explanations: A. They lack self-reflection B. They know they know fact X, but avoid acknowledging for ... reasons?

I find the argument for A quite compelling

Perhaps building an AI vastly smarter than us will conflict with replicating this coupling. Perhaps we will prefer artwork from an AI with which we do feel this type of connection. Perhaps this will make us build an AI that is really close to us in terms of experiencing feelings an emotional states, even if it means it's less "smart". This wouldn't be a dull outcome...

On the other hand, in coming times of global depopulation, what will housing situation look like?

If you wrote down all the rules of Google app store, including all their sweetheart deals (I'm sure there are many), and accounted for all departments within Google that influence AppStore, it would be massively smaller and way simpler conceptually. The scale of bureaucracy, inconsistency, bad incentives and accumulated cruft is just not comparable.

Human: ...

Oh how the tables have turned.

Anywhere but least developed countries child mortality is low, such that fertility replacement level is estimated at 2.1 (vs 2.0 if everyone survived until reproductive age).

We used to have 5-6 kids, with one dying if you were a bit unlucky (statistically speaking). Now we have 2 or less.

You (incrementally) build up a large cycler in parts, each part accelerated to the orbit once.

Once the cycler is large, it seems infeasible to burn fuel to periodically adjust the orbit since it's massive. Unless propellant less stuff like light sails can be used over long periods.

A job where you cut and plane wood to make planks that are used to build houses has a straightforward connection to basic life.

A job where you are trying to influence a group of people - so that they organize themselves to efficiently - make a change to a software tool - that affects a process for measuring of a collective endeavour - of a bigger group of people who are trying to optimize the selling and buying - of complex derivative financial contracts that are used to - increase the efficiency of a market of another financial product - which is a virtualization of actual trading of real world goods - so that incredibly complex entities (corporations) can get various and hard to grasp benefits - so that ultimately planks are cheaper ... such a job is virtually impossible to appreciate.

We are transistors in a byzantine supercomputer of global economy.

From the perspective of an individual it is very hard to detect this level of climate change. I can't tell how much warmer any given month was compared to even 20 years ago. We're talking about 28 vs 28.5°C average for a month. (and July and August made news because of pronounced anomalies, other months were probably even murkier stories due to natural monthly variability). This is not perceptible. And no one has an experiential reference point of Average Global Temperature of the 20th Century.

How hot was May of 2003 compared to May of 2023? I could attempt a guess but have zero confidence in it. Do you remember the average temperature of your teenage years summers? "It was hot", "between 25-30..." is all I can give without looking at data.

This is something we should keep in mind when advocating for climate measures, otherwise sceptics have another easy attack - "it feels basically the same, what are you talking about"

- different type of CI may result in different adherence to CI (how much you eat in reality vs intention) and CO (how much activity you can even perform given limited willpower and how CI type affects your well being)

When a loan is made, a loan document exists; and accounting entries exist somewhat separately. A contract can be entered without writing, a contract can result in complex accounting treatment which may be investigated, rules clarified, decided, corrected when methodology errors were made.

Do you mean that the blockchain is supposed to help with the accounting side, or with the contract side, or both?
