Regulations can often be bad for progress so a CBA is probably best. Doesn't matter about the framing.


What do you mean framing doesn't matter? You just called the other post 'acidic' The idea that a CBA is somehow useful outside of any moral context is facially ridiculous anyway. You're just spewing word-mumbo-jumbo. The entire point of the law is to uphold the basic moral values of society in its function.


I suppose you would need to weigh the utility points lost from people no longer enjoying their jobs with the positive utility points gained by the consumers of products and services.

My intuition is that with the law of leverage in mind, the former would be relatively low and the latter would be relatively high.

It is of course up to the government and culture to minimize the former and maximize the latter.


for fear of being overly utilitarian here its not really an issue that people are manipulatable but that they are manipulated into doing the wrong things (consumerism, political divide-and-conquer strategies)

and rejecting manipulation from a deontological stance reduces agency and output for doing good in the real world

manipulation = campaigns = advertisements = psyops (all the same, different connotations)


I would recommend talking out loud to it with speech to text software, it has been pretty helpful for me. Like around 60s of talking.


Irrelevant but I like this pattern of using Gemini (or AI outputs in general) as sources. Please continue to do so and I encourage any readers to also adopt this pattern. I will also try to implement this pattern.


The sources are in the report. Gemini provides actual references for all the claims made. You'd know that if you actually looked but lack of intellectual rigor is expected when people are afraid of actually scrutinizing their beliefs of non-constructive inevitability.


maybe you misread the post you‘re answering to here or are you suspecting sarcasm? the poster commended your usage of the footnote with the gemini convo as far as i can tell?


Laid it on a little too thick to be sincere & more generally I don't comment on internet forums to be complimented on my response style. Address the substance of my arguments or just save yourself the keystrokes.


It was a compliment and I was hoping to nudge the behavior of other HN comments.


If you really can't see the irony of using AI to make up your thoughts on AI then perhaps there's keystrokes to be saved on your end as well.


I recommend you address the content & substance of the argument in any further responses to my posts or if you can't do that then figure out a more productive way to spend your time. I'm sure there is lots of work to be done in automated theorem proving.


Right. I think ai on the user's side is going to be necessary soon. Then they can negotiate with the advertiser's AI to determine what to show. This will need to be on the platform level or the hardware level.

This solves the problem of seeing ads that are not best for the user.


You are talking about running ads auctions locally. This is never going to happen because if the company was inclined to rank ads by relevance they could already do so at their end. Just use an ad blocker.


Right, what I am saying is an AI powered ad blocker essentially. Because some ads are good and mutually beneficial.


I just find it interesting how any new data added to this past the year 2023 is probably unusable


Creator here - yeah, proving photo provenance has gotten more challenging. When I started this in 2019, if you found a photo of Alice Cooper with Colonel Sanders on an old blog, you could safely apply Occam’s razor: “Would anyone bother meticulously photoshopping this?” Since relaunching this year, I have to scrutinize sources much more closely, and adding richer metadata/context has become essential. Maybe in the future, new photos only work if this lives inside something like World App.


The solution is for our government to onboard us onto the internet economy like China is doing. Rather than slow down tech advancement.


I often like to just talk out out. Stream of thought. Gives it full context of your mental model. Talk through an excalidraw diagram


I do that as well, with Wispr Flow. But I still forget details that the questions make obvious.


Hi. Thanks for this. What is your goal of doing so? From a business standpoint. Or is it purely altruistic?


Haha-classic!

It’s simple: hackability and recruiting!

The open-source community hacking around it and playing with it PLUS talented engineers who may be interested in working with us already makes this release worth it. A single talented distributed systems engineer has a lot of impact here.

Also, the company ethos is around AI hackability/controllability, high-bar for talent, and AI for creatives - so this aligns perfectly.

The fact that Krea serves both in-house and 3rd-Party models tells you that we are not that bullish on models being a moat.


I can say that it's definitely working on me! I hadn't heard of Krea before, and this is a great introduction to your work. Thanks for sharing it.


People underestimate how much goodwill companies gain from pushing opensource stuff out, not just from word of mouth but even picking up users for their commercial offerings too, while i could run opensource and appreciate it in a lot of cases using API's from the companies that i like (mostly ones that do opensource stuff) tends to be easier for bigger stuff...


(unless the code repository and history is embarrassingly bad, which is most repositories)
