Facing adversity when one is young is important. Elon Musk faced it a lot and so did Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both of them credit it for building resilience in them. But again it will back fire if there is too much adversity / trauma.
In fact in one of the interviews Elon talks about implementing structured adversity.
Reality #1: Universal Basic Income (UBI) will empower people to break free from the grind of work. They'll have the freedom to start innovative companies, create art, make music, learn to dance, and generally enjoy happier, less stressful lives.
Reality #2: Alternatively, many might find themselves stuck at home, glued to their screens. This could lead to boredom and depression, resulting in online trolling and petty arguments. Some may even resort to crime out of frustration.
The intuition is pretty spot on though. We don't need to get to AGI. Just making progress along the way to AGI can do plenty of damage.
1. AI-driven medical procedures: Healthcare Cost = $0.
2. Access to world class education: Cost of education = $0
3. Transportation: Cheap Autonomous vehicles powered by Solar.
4. Scientific research: AI will accelerate scientific progress by coming up with novel hypotheses and then testing them.
5. AI Law Enforcement: Will piece together all the evidence in a split second and come up with a fair judgement. Will prevent crime before it happens by analyzing body language, emotions etc.
Google is risk-averse. There is no real incentive for its management to be aggressive. Even with the Gemini AI, they only acted after being pushed around by OpenAI.
You need someone ruthless and aggressive at the top, like Travis Kalanick, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk or Steve Jobs who basically stop at nothing. Folks who act fast and can take big decisions. MBA business types often get caught up in endless meetings, prevaricating over inessential things.
For some reason I felt Claude was Yahoo to ChatGPT's Google in the initial days. It just felt like ChatGPT had an insurmountable moat.
I played with Claude and it is just insanely superior compared to ChatGpt as of now. Someone on HN commented the same thing a few months back but I did not take it very seriously. But, Claude is just superior to Chatgpt.
ChatGPT is like Google now. It is the default. Even if Claude becomes as good as ChatGPT or even slightly better it won't make me switch. It has to be like a lot better. Way better.
It feels like ChatGPT won the time to market war already.
Not really. AI overview is a natural progression. It is pretty accurate. The hallucinations have decreased significantly over the past year. Most people won't mind this.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it. ~ U. Sinclair
A significant problem is the subconscious defense mechanism or bias that compels us to conclude that AI has various shortcomings, asserting the ongoing need for status quo.
The capabilities of GPT-3.x in early 2023 pale in comparison to today's AI, and it will continue to evolve and improve.
It's challenging when dealing with millions of dollars. $5 million is a substantial amount, and a 37% capital gains tax would reduce it to approximately $3 million. Essentially, you would lose $2 million to taxes.
$5m is life changing.
Having said that it is stupid to commit tax fraud and live a life of perpetual fear.
If you park in the Mission District, chances are someone’s gonna smash your window and grab your stuff. Calling the cops? Eh, don’t expect much. They show up late or not at all, and even if they catch someone, they're out again fast. So, what’s the point?
Top rated answer:
>> Give criminals more hefty punishments because they are usually not put in jail for long and charges are often dropped. Usually when arrested the same offenders are smashing and grabbing again right after release.
