> "A good writer doesn't just think, and then write down what they thought, as a sort of transcript. A good writer will almost always discover new things in the process of writing. And there is, as far as I know, no substitute for this kind of discovery." -Paul Graham

What is it about writing that makes it different than thinking?

It's amazing how many researchers underestimate the importance of UX and design.

Personally, seeing non-technical people using prompts for the first time -- and getting results that make sense -- is so incredible. Their eyes light up, they are surprised, and they want to keep playing with it. Amazing!

A sizeable part of the population just got access to an incredibly complex AI model and can play with it. What a collective experience.

And/or underestimate the importance of shipping.

The article correctly identifies that lack of intimacy and relationships are serious problems, with sexual loneliness being a related comorbidity (if you will). The comments, so far, predictably drift toward "how do we get everyone laid?"

Giving everyone access to sex will not solve sexual loneliness. And, solving (a lot of) sexual loneliness can be achieved without giving everyone access to sex.

Anecdotally, I spent several years as part of the 5% mentioned in this article (lots of regular sex with several different women, most of whom I had very little in common with). After that, I spent several years having very little sex because my wife and I were living on opposite coasts. My experience of sexual loneliness during those two periods of my life were inversely correlated with the amount of sex I was actually having.

Intimacy and relationship matters. Proposals like prostitution or nonmonogamy fundamentally misunderstand the problem.

Even a simple compliment is rare. We could start there.

Does the following meme resonate?

That's huge. What takes up most of that 40Gb+?

Open AI's CEO Sam Altman's take is that they will only ever allow API access to their models to avoid misuse.

I don't get HN's take with wanting everything open sourced. Some things are expensive to create and dangerous in the wrong hands. Not everything can and should be open sourced.

Isn't an open source ChatGPT inevitable? There's already open source AI art.
