It should be an improvement for people to get a career in something they enjoy, instead of what pays the most money.

"Sure it might produce convincing examples of human speech, but it fundamentally lacks an internal point of view that it can express..."

Sounds just like the chess experts from 30 years ago. Their belief at the time was that computers were good at tactical chess, but had no idea how to make a plan. And Go would be impossible for computers, due to the branching factor. Humans would always be better, because they could plan.

GPT (or a future successor) might not be able to have "an internal point of view". But it might not matter.

Three months ago, FTX was offering 8% interest APY. FTX knew they were in trouble, and needed new deposits to stay afloat. This makes it a ponzi.

Curious how you do this? The Obsidian Sync option is $96/year.

Agreed. AI art will continue to improve.

This reminds of of the chess computers from 30 years ago. Experts were convinced computers would never beat GM humans, based on the state-of-the-art of the time. They never took into account all the future advancements in hardware and software.

> Can anyone describe how/where this actually fits into Meta's businesses?

AI can predict the behavior of the users, feeding them as many relevant ads as possible, while keeping them engaged.

How will Bitcoin fix it? If I buy a video card with bitcoin, but get sent a brick instead, how does "Blockchain as Arbiter" get my bitcoins back?

The company has not yet provided any real numbers. I want to know how much electricity is generated at a specific wind speed. The lack of this most basic number leads me to believe this isn't as good as it sounds.

Some places have geographic features that make the cardinals easy. Like in Denver, the mountains are always west.

picking 1 would still dominate over any other strategy, in a head-to-head.

However, if you are trying to maximize your H2H score against a pool of contestants, a cooperation strategy, where you both alternated taking the lower number would be close to optimal.

I believe this strategy will work against any other strategy, not just mirror strategy. Of course, against mirror strat, 1/N is correct.
