  1. Although not everyone agrees about the risks, safety is a huge issue in the AI community. It is talked about constantly. People also constantly complain about how much companies censor their models for safety (and mainstream appeal). It feels like you are assuming every billionaire or adjacent is evil now. What makes you so confident?
  2. David Shapiro gives me conman vibes. He quit his job and now needs to hype up AI as much as possible if he is relying on his youtube channel now. I hope I'm wrong and I hope David is correct about his AGI predictions.
  3. You misunderstand that not all difficulty is good...
  4. Your best bet with free math education is to find and join a mathematics discord server then ask them for book recommendations. You can also ask for help on problems you get stuck on and to check your work.
  5. There is a lot of impractical advice on creativity out there. Here is a simple process I find effective: 1) Collect a diverse set of ideas (think 'requisite variety'). 2) Choose a main idea, either your favorite or a random one. 3) Select another idea and combine it with your main idea. That's it! Repeat this process multiple times, avoiding harsh judgment before putting ideas into practice. Intuition can be helpful here, but beware of being overly judgmental. The finer details of this process vary depending on your creative medium. Whether you have the mental energy to be creative is a whole other thing. If you find yourself feeling down after a meal or stressed and overwhelmed, taking a short nap can often be helpful. Assuming it aligns with your schedule, try setting a 30-minute timer and simply lay down. Remember, you don't have to fall asleep for this to work.
  6. I feel like the biggest question, whether they are real or not, is that if they are real, then why hide?
  7. How can liberals be more developed than conservatives when studies have shown that liberals are more mentally ill and less happy than conservatives? This seems to contradict the videos Leo recently made on these topics. How can one reconcile this?
  8. A man that feels no fear. Check out the documentary "Free Solo". https://nautil.us/the-strange-brain-of-the-worlds-greatest-solo-climber-236051/
  9. Imagine if you wanted to juggle but instead of using your own hands you tell a robot to do it for you.
  10. Imagine if you wanted to go on a hike but instead of using your own legs you tell a robot to do it for you.
  11. @Thought Art Try this one. It sounds very natural. Voice Actors are in trouble. https://beta.elevenlabs.io/s https://www.whyp.it/tracks/67397/copypasta?token=7gByh
  12. @Carl-Richard "make a program distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information for performing a task" This is what transformers do.
  13. Large Language Models like chatGPT are good at intuitive thinking (continuous) and bad at logical thinking (discrete) because of the way they are trained. I think need both to be creative and have truly original ideas.
  14. One of my favorite instances so far is where someone told ChatGPT to imagine a virtual machine.
  15. I personally feel like the quality of this forum has decreased in recent years.
  16. I thought this would be a good share. I believe this is material that Leo has never covered and would be greatly beneficial to people. In the video Dr. K explains how to do something that your mind has you resisting by essentially pausing and staying paused until your mind lets you do what you need to do. I personally have coined it the "Hostage Technique" since you are sort of taking your mind hostage. edit: To be clear I know that Leo has made videos about resistance. This is simply another technique.
  17. Google "Deep Processing"
  18. I am looking for some advice on how to balance creativity and learning. What proportion of my time should be spent on original thinking (creativity) vs learning? I know the more I learn the greater my requisite variety will be and the more creative insight there will be but that also has to be balanced with the time that I spend doing the actual original thinking. Any thoughts?
  19. Please tell me this Raptor guy is trolling
  20. If a computer can do everything you do then are you being creative?
  21. @Danioover9000 That video you linked poisons the rest of your message there buddy. Awful cherry-picked sampling it makes me cringe. ?
  22. Here is one of my favorite AIs Simulating a game within a neural network... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udPY5rQVoW0
