  1. I was just trying to point out, that the logic you were using (don't take advice from people, who haven't embodied the very thing they preach about) is not necessarily always a good approach, when it comes to taking advice or learning from someone. You were specifically focusing on happiness, but essentially that was the logic,that you were using.
  2. natural language + a systemic understanding of the frameworks and how those overlap + a very good ability to understand and articulate problems. I think that even though there will much more programmers, the need for them will stay the same or will even grow (and the need is which mostly prices the salary). If a workplace can have such programmers that can utilize AI as a tool to be 100-1000 times more productive, that means that every programmer will be much more valuable, or at least thats what I would expect.
  3. If you don't have time or a way to do proper research on the ideas a person gives you in a field that he/she hasn't embodied, then yeah, you can use your rule to filter out people, however if you have time and if you have a good way to do research, then you shouldn't trash people just because they haven't fully embodied the things they are saying. I think the number 1 way you should judge a teacher or a coach is by looking at how successful their students . If most of his/her students are successful, then that says a lot about the coach/teacher, and that coach/teacher must have some level of system thinking and also a good amount of knowledge in the field he/she teaches. Also,there are a thousand things that can overlap, if you are good at something you can have some useful and good things to say about things that are related to the thing that you embodied. Also the other thing you need to understand that just because someone embodied something that won't guarantee that he /she will be good at teaching it. Being a good teacher is not exclusive to embodiedness. The easiest way to demonstrate why its not good to always rule out people who haven't embodied the things they preach and teach about is coaching, more specifically sport coaching. You can be a number 1 box or football or weightlifting coach without any need to do competition in any of those sports.
  4. Its hard to properly predict anything, because everything is changing at a really fast pace, but I think , first it will probably make developers 100-1000 times more productive. I think it won't replace programmers overall(at least not for now) ,because that will take a lot more time (thats my assumption, but I can be wrong), but maybe we will shift into natural language programming, where programmers will program by giving natural language prompts to the AI ,but these engineers and programmers will still need to understand when to and how to use certain frameworks and in what circumstances. It will be very interesting, because the best programmers will need to be super good at articulating problems to the AI, because that way they will be much more effective and AI will find the right answers much easier and faster(but of course to be very good at describing problems you need to have the background knowledge as well, so its not easily replaceable). The other thing that might happen is that AI might be able to automatically generate documentation for the code, and that would be insanely helpful. I think programming, but eventually AI will totally replace programmers as well, but I think that will take the longest time . If it can totally replace programmers, at that point AI will replace every job, because it will be able to do anything, so I think if you want to be safe focus on programming.
  5. It can be used with a debate template as well: replace {1} with one stance, replace {2} with an opposing stance and replace {3} with the debate topic. So it can look like this for example: After it gives the first round, tell it to "continue the debate" or to "continue with the next round" or with anything similar to that. It can go through several rounds. Here is a snippet from the first round:
  6. I told it to repharase it, but imagine if this is a live conversation with an AI it can correct the text any time and any way.
  7. It can be used as an infinite analogy generator. Analogies can be powerful to describe a complex concept and if you ask such analogies that you can relate to, then you can learn new things much faster, and if you struggle to describe certain things to other people who are very different to you and who have knowledge in different field(s) than you, then you can use it to generate analogies for them as well.
  8. Free market dynamics can't check on the greediest if the greediest is too big to hold accountable with anything. Some of these greediest companies can bleed out the smaller companies if they want to, and at that point we aren't talking about competition.
  9. This is what you can do, if you combine chatgpt with midjourney:
  10. You can specify in what style it should write it. The more specific details you give how to write that email, the better results you will get.
  11. If you are a writer this can be useful to you: Here is a template you can use: write a [length] [writing result] on in the style of [style] ----> for instance: write a 200 word essay on Indian food in the style of Hemingway. Regarding the “writing result” you can choose from these: poem, blog article, song, essay etc. For the style you can choose literally anything and anyone for reference. You can grab a big long text for instance an article or a wikipedia text and put it in “” and then ask chatgpt to rephrase it. So the template looks something like this: Rephrase “your inserted text” If you want to do quick research for your project you can also use the “Provide me with an outline of this [book/article/transcript]". If you want see one of the points that chatgpt provided in a more broad way, tell it to “elaborate on this x point”. Tell it to “act as a professional spelling and grammar corrector and improver” and it can help to improve your writing and to correct the mistakes. Additionally, it can write blog posts, emails, reports, songs, poems, essays, transcripts, novels etc.
  12. There won't be any phone bills , they most likely ask for a mobile number to avoid bots and to make your account safer (2 step verification process).
  13. I copied the video transcript and told chatgpt to generate a TL:DR from the given text.
  14. TL;DR generated by chatgpt:
  15. Here is a useful prompt to use if you want to use chatgpt to learn about a new field that you don't know anything about or just a little about: Change x to whatever you want to learn about and then as it finishes with the first round write "continue" and do this as many times you want and basically you can end up with a lot of questions answered, and there will be questions answered that you didn't know you should have asked about.
  16. There were and there are many individuals who has changed and who are changing the world right now, just by living up to their LP. But here is the thing: none of those people who significantly changed the world did it alone. They were living in a societal structure that provided them the necessary people and tools and circumstances so that they could excel at whatever they wanted to do. Every prior invention and inventor every prior scientific research and researcher contributed to everyone elses success in one way or another. You can't totally decouple people from their environment, from their parents, from their teachers, from their relationships, from their friends and from other past and present people. All of that have and had an impact on their persona and on their doom and or on their success. Thats why its important not to dismiss any impact that even a seemingly insignificant individual can cause. Even if you are not the person who will have the largest impact on the world, you need to realize that the world and our society is an infinitely interconnected web and everyone has an effect on everything and everyone else. If one node changes that has an effect on every other points and that can alone cause a significant change. Think about the butterfly effect and think about the fact that whether you want to do it intentionally or not you have an impact on the world that eventually riddles down everywhere. Having an LP doesn't necessarily mean you have to aim for an enormous goal, just be conscious and mindful of whatever you are doing, and be conscious of the causes how your presence and work contributes to society.
  17. Yeah, if you can properly use it - its like thinking on steroids. You are the driver, but your mind is extended.
  18. What is the alternative system you are suggesting?
  19. Agreeing on a paper doesn't mean never doing anything that goes against it, also I don't think that is comparable, because the incentive to be the first to own a superintelligence is just way too beneficial and outweighs every negative consequence of being caught developing it unethically (assuming that can make the development faster). That being said, how would you regulate it regarding to art? The training data can only contain images and art that was agreed upon beforehand for free usage - so basically using no copyright datasets?
  20. Here lies one of the most complex problem regarding this topic - which is that if a superintelligent AI (which will eventually be able to do everything [that is economically valuable] better and more cost efficiently and effectively than a human) is owned by a company or even by a country, then that company or country will eventually have all the power in the world and that power imbalance will cause a lot of problems. Thats a problem that needs to be solved first, because if you don't have any answer to that question, then you probably can't even properly regulate the development and the use of AI, because how will you be able to regulate an AI ,that is developed by China or Russia or by any group of people that we don't even know about? Also anyone on the surface can agree to 'lets regulate the development and usage of AI' and after that they can secretly develop it without any ethical standards to gain massive leverage in the market in the future. The incentive to ignore all the ethcial standards and to not give a fuck about the potential consequences is too big even if there is a chance of being caught. So basically the point is that if the superintelligence won't be collectively owned, then probably everything will be fucked, and the emergence of superintelligence is probably inevitable even if on the surface you can regulate some companies.
  21. What are those dangerous left wing ideas that are comparable to the dangerous ideas and conspiracies, that are on the right?
