Are there any plans for an update? One year on, do the ideas discussed still apply?

I also started doing something similar. I’ve thought about rolling over every 6 months in case a black swan flash crashes the value of the options at the time of exercising/selling. Any thoughts on this?

Has Lecun explained anywhere how does he intend to be able to keep the guardrails on open source systems?

I modified part of my portfolio to resemble the summarized takeaway. I'm up 30(!?!) % in less than 4 months.

Could a basic version of this that could help many people with their reasoning easily be set up as a GPT?

I tried it:

But still unhappy with what I am getting. If you have a good prompt to find inconsistencies in your reasoning, please share it!

I used to visit every day since 2018 and find one or two interesting articles to read on all kinds of topics.

For the past few months I just read zvi’s stuff and any AI related not too technical articles.

Some Reddit forums have dedicated days to topics. I don’t know if having AI stuff only a few days a week would help restore the balance haha.

I asked ChatGPT to explain the image, and it pulled a Westworld "Doesn't look like anything to me" reply on the "language model hallucinations are lies" box:

This image is a play on the concept of "alignment charts," which are often used in role-playing games to define character behavior. Here, it classifies different types of lies based on two axes: content (what is being said) and structure (the nature of the lie).

1. **Content purist** vs. **Content rebel**: This axis distinguishes lies based on whether the statement itself is denotatively false (purist) or if any kind of untruthfulness, including misleading but technically true statements, is considered a lie (rebel).

2. **Structure purist** vs. **Structure rebel**: This axis is about the intent and form of the lie. A structure purist requires a conscious intent to deceive, while a structure rebel includes any form of falsehood, whether intentional or not.

The chart then gives examples of lies for each quadrant:
- **Content purist / Structure purist**: A classic, intentional lie about a specific fact ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman").
- **Content purist / Structure neutral**: A fantastical lie without a clear intent to deceive ("The Jews are lizard people").
- **Content purist / Structure rebel**: This category is left blank in the image but would include any intentional lie that is factually incorrect.
- **Content neutral / Structure purist**: A polite lie with intent to deceive but not about a factual matter ("Oh, thank you so much; you shouldn't have").
- **Content neutral / Structure neutral**: A procrastinating lie ("I'll get to it tomorrow").
- **Content neutral / Structure rebel**: Lies that occur due to language misunderstandings or miscommunications ("false cognates are lying").
- **Content rebel / Structure purist**: This category is left blank in the image but would include lies that are misleading in any way with intent to deceive.
- **Content rebel / Structure neutral**: Lies that result from errors in reasoning or belief, not language ("Batesian mimicry is lying").
- **Content rebel / Structure rebel**: Lies that are not due to intentional deceit or language issues, but other causes, like a broken clock being incorrect about the time.

The chart is a humorous attempt to categorize lies in a way that mirrors the alignment charts used in gaming, highlighting the complexity and variety of what we consider to be "lies."

Did you count calories? Did you try to keep the same amount of calories of the replaced meals, but with potatoes?

There’s an app called garden where you enter the name of the people you care about and how often you want to talk to them: once a week, a month etc.

I started using it and being open to people about it. A few mentioned it sounded a bit weird but otherwise I’ve gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback and I’m staying in touch regularly with the people I care about!

The “what I get/what they get from me” columns from this Dunbar exercise are a bit too much for me though.
