If I'm not mistaken he's working with Ezra Klein to push the Democrats to embrace racism instead of popular economic measures.
Edit: I expect that these guys will try to make a J.D. Vance style Republican pivot in the next 4-8 years.
Second Edit:
Ezra Klein's recent interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates is very specifically why I expect he will pivot to being a Republican in the near future.
Listen closely. Ezra Klein will not under any circumstances utter the words "Black People".
Again and again, Coates brings up issues that Black People face in America, and Klein diverts by pretending that Coates is talking about Marginalized Groups in general or Trans People in particular.
Klein's political movement is about eradicating discussion of racial discrimination from the Democratic party.
Third Edit:
@calmoo: I think you're not listening to the nuances of my opinion, and instead having an intense emotional reaction to my well-justified claims of racism.
We're very off topic, but if you're truly interested in Ezra Klein's worldview, I highly recommend his recent interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates. At minimum, I think you'll discover that Ezra's feelings are a lot more nuanced than you're making them out to be.
I don't really want to discuss politics off the bat of my purely 'for your information' comment, but I think you're grossly misrepresenting Ezra Klein's worldview and not listening to the nuances of his opinion, and instead having an intense emotional reaction to his words. Take a step back and try to think a bit more rationally here.
Also your prediction of them making a JD vance republican pivot is extremely misguided. I would happily bet my life savings against that prediction.
You seem to be making an implicit claim that LLMs can create an effective cancer drug "10% of the time".
Smells like complete and total bullshit to me.
Edit: @eucyclos: I don't assume that Chat GPT and LLM tools have saved cancer researchers any time at all.
On the contrary, I assume that these tools have only made these critical researchers less productive, and made their internal communications more verbose and less effective.
No, that's not the claim. The claim is that we will create a hypothetical LLM that, when tasked with a problem at the scientific frontier of molecular biology will, about 10% of the time, correctly reason about existing literature and reach conclusions that are valid or plausible to similar experts in the field.
Let's say you run that LLM one million times and get 100.000 valid reasoning chains. Let's say among them are variations on 1000 fundamentally new approaches and ideas, and out of those, you can actually synthesize in the laboratory 200 new candidate compounds, and out of those, 10 substance show strong in-vitro response, and then one of those completely cures some cancerous mice.
There you go, you have substantially automated the intellectual work of cancer research and you have one very promising compound you can start phase 1 trials that you didn't have before AI, and all without any AGI.
I don't catalog shows and episodes where any particular topic comes up, and I follow over 100 podcasts so I don't have a specific list you can fact check me on.
Personally I could care less if that means you choose not to believe that I hear the Taiwan risk come up often enough.
Charitably, perhaps they're simply asking for podcasts that they would be interested in listening to that cover these topics. Personally, I would like to listen to a podcast that talks about semiconductor development, but I've done approximately zero research to find them so I'm not pressed for an answer :)
Different kind of work for me st least. If I'm not at a desk coding I'm often out working on a farm. You have plenty of time for podcasts while cutting fields.
Yes. The "true" average software quality is far, far lower than the average person perceives it to be. ChatGPT and other LLM tools have contributed massively to lowering average software quality.
I don’t understand how your three sentences mesh with each other. In any case, making the development of average software more efficient doesn’t by itself change anything about its quality. You just get more of it faster. I do agree that average software quality isn’t great, though I wouldn’t attribute it to LLMs (yet).
It's hard for me to imagine anyone who didn't already rise to prominence in the mass media environment of yesteryear to engage voters in the way Trump has.
In other words, I think Trump was able to succeed politically because he was "the guy from TV".
I don't think the current media environment is making more "guys from TV" (at least not with anywhere close to the status they had ~25 years ago).
True! But I think in general, those were the exception, not the rule. Gingrich changed the party as a whole to grab power more than anything else, including respecting democracy or honesty.
Could you post the names of some influential books or articles from the Information Architecture scene?
I've never heard of it, but I'm impressed by OP's website and I'm interested in learning more.
edit: There's a whole list in the website.
edit (pt. 2): How would you compare the Information Architecture scene to the Effective Altruism scene? Are these scenes linked/overlapping in any particular way?
