People are more likely to like tweets that are already viral. Makes it hard for smaller accounts to gain traction.

.@elonmusk main fault is believing that humanity is smart enough to use first principles and think for themselves The vast majority of humanity (>75%) are complete luddites who will consume any pile of bullshit they are fed Most are lazy, ignorant, and downright stupid

wtf is consciousness. theoretically, if two people were to wire there brains identically, such that they were complete clones, shouldn’t they be the same person?

sometimes I like to think about how much we trust science even though we literally made it up. like one of these days, we could just randomly discover a new particle, or new state of alternate consciousness that could prove everything we know to be just straight-up wrong.

Are you really a programmer if you don't do this...🤦‍♂️
Programming tip: always use one-letter variable names; it saves space and makes your code more efficient.

Well-structured rundown. Very similar to how we try to optimize Big O time complexity when coding.
A Googler asked today (after a very good demo by Microsoft yesterday and a very bad one by Google today) why is it that we are entering the new paradigm of search? Aren't 99% of searches already satisfied by Google? Well here is why.. 1/many

We’re reaching a point in evolution/technology where we must realize that long-term with automation, employment will naturally decrease. 2023 feels different to me. Historically employment has naturally rebounded, but with the direction that ML has been going, I see this current job market continuing to worsen, year after year, until we realize that we need to restructure how our economy and society function. Capitalism can’t survive in an economy completely automated by AI; it relies on rich private investors exploiting the working class, but as the working class diminishes as we have seen, this entire structure becomes obsolete… Where do you think we’ll be in 5 years? 10 years? 50 years?

Slightly unethical but a super interesting use case. We have found that empathy can be faked in AI, and it for the most part can act as an incredible therapist. AI is designed to uncover complex patterns; isn't therapy just the practice of uncovering deeply rooted "patterns"?
We provided mental health support to about 4,000 people — using GPT-3. Here’s what happened 👇

TikTok should be banned. The addictive dopamine response that the brain emits when endlessly scrolling through short videos only causes the mind to stray further and further from reality, numbing your creativity and emotions. Look how much happier people were 10 years ago…
