Getting really annoying to have to keep track of macro events affecting my life year after year instead of just being able to live a normal peaceful life.
Another interesting take is that a lot of human made art isn't art either. Art is supposed to be questioning or critiquing social convention, not be "pretty pictures" which the large majority of output have been for the last few decades.
I used to be like this. I solved it by making my default activity reading (anything, stop if you don't enjoy it, novels are great) and working out. Just getting a week or month break is sometimes enough to break the habit (but best to do it in a way doesn't feel like an endurance challenge - that replaces it with something else fun or stimulating).
These lectures are fantastic after you've mastered the basics of linear algebra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McLq1hEq3UY (convex optimization, by a very experienced and often funny lecturer)
I think the name is the main reason it's gotten as much attention as it has. It's really a basic technique and idea but I'm seeing people all over the place overhype it.
If you're not gonna release the data, then don't do the project in the first place (especially not under the implication that it'll be shared with everyone). Saying in hindsight "oh we can't release all the data due to sensitivity issues" is just weaseling your way to keeping the most valuable data to yourselves as if the stated issues couldn't have been predicted.
I'm not gonna engage with AIs as if they're humans. Being biologically human matters to me. First of all you know they'll all be serving some master intent on extracting profit from me (the most sociopathic patient manipulative salesman you could ever imagine). Far from trustworthy any of them.
Yeah, most of the 'Google Research Datasets' github account has super boring datasets. There's no way they'll help out with the actually interesting datasets (this is just PR).
Btw what do those 'data cards' actually do? Can you get sued for going against it? Does it conflict with the permissive license or does that take precedence?
The moment that happens I wouldn't trust anything I read online (or even videos) to be human made (and not by one actor or corporation engaging in mass manipulation) and would limit or cut off internet usage preferably completely.
This was the case for me too! :) I really hated running at the start because it triggered anxiety. In the end it turned out to be a blessing because it provided me with basically a safe (not socially connected etc) way to activate it at my own comfort and degree I was comfortable with and basically feel like my twisted up brain connections got smoothed out by doing it for a while. (Basically exposure therapy as you mention.) Lions mane may have been part of helping too but idk.
Sounds awful. My cause was definitely more caused by developmental period weird wiring, so definitely different. Hope you find some way to resolve it one day somehow.
I recommend working out, it helped me a ton with anxiety. It basically cured it (I don't work out much anymore but a short intense few months of hard workouts seems to have almost removed it from my system years afterwards).
On the other hand, just being able to rest whenever you need and get enough sleep and have time for exersize and great food (which rich people have) is already a huge competitive advantage. So a similar effect as this would produce is definitely already happening.
I think tech in general is kinda stagnating at this point. We've plucked all the low hanging fruit, to get new revolutionary things will be much more slow going from here.
I doubt Thiel is some kind of central master mind behind all this. Musk seems quite independently driven and probably found this a necessary move with only minor chats with thiel (if any). I'm not sure Thiel has any more or less influence than Sam Altman or Paul Graham.
Yeah and make sure to check out their patreon if you want to incentivize and support people living alternative lifestyles and creating things with love like this:
I love this. It's weird that we don't consider the fact that computers becoming more powerful and home internet becoming faster as having an effect on personally managed servers being a more feasible option. How few of todays servers could replace the servers spotify used when they started up a decaded ago?
