This is such a thoughtful way to split the subject I agree with it completely.

From my 15 years being involved in startups, I would agree with this. Especially in marketing teams, which has been my area. There is no right answer which can be confirmed easily so you just have to really really care.

I will also say this is not the same as hard work. Hours and intensity is not the same. I would be considered a very successful person by most, but I have never "worked" more than 30 hours a week. But I've cared very very intensely about the results of the work that I'm doing.

You also can't expect it of employees unless you're paying them a fuck ton/have incentives.

To me this exposes the extreme limitations Wikipedia has given itself. My location could have 10 times as many Wikipedia articles nearby about things that are interesting, unique, or historically relevant. But those articles would all get denied.

This information is available in the annual reports of all these companies. It's the advertising revenue per user per year. For Meta it's like $100 a year for U.S. users.

This will be successfully appealed. It is an outrageous verdict for something with zero actual harms.

Documentaries and video in general are just dramatically, intensely worse mediums for communicating factual learnings compared to books and text in general.

Fielder has said that setting the tone with music in documentaries is among the most important things he does. I also find that unsettling.

Its basically how all the ad platforms fundamentally work: they use conversion events to train their ad algorithms.

Like a meeseeks

Logistics and shipping cost a lot. Amazon is one of the cheapest warehouses that you can use for this purpose.

Comparing a dissafected american programmer to a real slave is just not the right take

This is the kind of person for whom AI is making the most negative change. I feel sad for them. For me, I love this new world. I never took pleasure in craftsmanship or perfectionism, I just want things to work and then iterate on it with as little effort as possible.

I love this comment. It is extremely accurate to my experience.

Not putting signatures in art unless otherwise requested should become a default in AI instances.

It is more or less trivial to find someone's home address now if you try at all. Thats my point on duplicated data in hacks.

I am going to be very curious to see if there are any downsides or negatives at all to this hacking happening. In theory this information could be used to scam a lot of Danes. In practice these major hacks end up fizzling out, in my experience - the data being less useful or more duplicated than people thought.

Just copy and paste my original post into ai and have it explain what I mean and what the evidence suggests. It will say it is true the correlation is massive like cm2012 says but he is being too sure with his reasoning. You can evaluate from there.

MB extraversion correlates basically the same as Big 5. They are more similar than different

Just keep looking up high quality surveys on different loneliness related topics until you are convinced. There are a lot of different ways to ask it. They all point in the same direction.

Big 5 traits like extraversion are pretty conclusively genetic and meaningful. Twin studies show strong heritability, and personality studies show meaningful lifetime outcome differences (extraverts earn more, etc).

Here are some good high quality surveys:

https://ourworldindata.org/lonely-not-alone

But frankly I wasn't kidding when I said every quality survey shows this.

If you have ever seen an article suggesting that loneliness is higher in the West or in capitalist economies or whatever, you have been 100% misled. That is essentially just a made up narrative that plays well in articles

Humanity's revealed preferences are really, really strong here.

As basically every country on Earth gets richer, two things happen in survey results.

One is that as people get richer they spend more time apart. Household sizes get smaller, the number of social interactions per week goes down, etc.

You'll also see that as countries get richer people say that they report feeling less lonely. Loneliness is less of an issue for the rich countries who live more apart. The correlation between this and GDP is comical. As you get to poorer countries, like clockwork, people report being lonelier in surveys.

The evidence suggests that as people get more choice they decide to see people less and they also feel happier for it and less lonely. So I don't think there's a problem here.

By this measure you will exclude almost all subject matter experts from having an opinion.

Yes I have seen their quizzes and examples of how they work and and how it's supposed to feed into ad targeting in theory

There were actual crimes but it was essentially the Russian government hacking email campaigns related to Hillary Clinton and drip-feeding them to the press. On the ad side there's none that I'm aware of.

Yes and I thought it was very unfair that I was flagged for taking a lot of time and effort to make an accurate comment.

Anything remotely related to data portability was verboten?

Here is Facebook's own CTO in 2010 on HN itself saying “First, we genuinely support data portability: we want users to be able to use their data in other applications without restriction.”

Yes they had a high engagement rate (due to how the platforms were structured at the time and how hyper-shareable it was) and you could make some money serving ads on quizzes because they had a high engagement rate. They were absolutely terrible as an ad targeting methodology.

Nothing in that Wikipedia link disagrees with me at all.

Yes but the founders and related people are still very happy not to disabuse the notion of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
