There seems to be no limit to the size of this bubble.
i really only started hearing about AI bubble this year. with the housing bubble, people were talking about it in 2005 and it took years for it to finally break. maybe AI bubble is the same

I use many LLM tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, etc), I have never ever gotten any version of MS Copilot to do anything useful for me. I've been stunned at how they can use the same models that ChatGPT does, copy their use cases, and still deliver a turd.
The Github Copilot (in VS Code especially) is the only application of LLMs that I've found useful from Microsoft. I would have loved amazing Copilot support in Word for working on a large complex document, but I haven't found that to work well.

What stopped them from doing exactly this 20 years ago? Turns out the differentiating factor isn't salary but talent. They pay you $$$$ because they can't find equivalent talent in India. And the talent that does exist in India isn't going to work for peanuts.
The talent abroad is also moving here for higher quality of life.

Where else could language really come from besides appearing more or less spontaneously in the mind? All thought is like this.
Is there a level of consciousness prior to language that willfully assembles the next word out of more subtle mind stuff? There would be an infinite regress here.
Exactly. In order to say a thought *wasn’t spontaneous* would mean that you thought something BEFORE you thought it.

Writing is an interesting process, it seems different for everyone. There are lots of tools and techniques so that is not a surprise.
For me sometimes it's putting together LEGOs, other times it's crafting a puzzle or panning for gold.
And a rare few times its felt like hooking into the great creative currents of the universe to bring something to fruition.
Well said
This is a bullshit study. It is entirely based on trying to confirm a priori assumptions about ”lonely” people, who are seen by authors as pathologically abnormal.
> Chronic loneliness is linked to mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as physical health problems, including weakened immunity, cardiovascular disease, and an increased risk of mortality. Lonely individuals tend to experience lower self-esteem, heightened sensitivity to social rejection, and difficulty forming or maintaining relationships. They may also perceive social interactions more negatively, creating a cycle that reinforces their isolation. In older adults, loneliness is particularly concerning, as it is strongly associated with cognitive decline and dementia. In children and adolescents, it can hinder social development and academic performance.
I think they are trying to learn more about it to see if there is something that can be done in cases where there are negative outcomes. Not where someone is alone and happy.
i'm a big fan of twitch. the communities built around games and people contain so much value which don't currently translate to revenue, but I think it will over time. I think twitch has to increase cost of advertising once people realize what kind of social capital that exists over there.
just my opinion.
At my job it’s assisting new out-of-the box tools that require configuration. Good example of productivity increase and not replacing work, but instead creating new work.

We'll just fine tune our existing models with data scraped from the whale internet. Surely that will work.
Nice. Probably just start with whale twitter and go from there
