Every time you hear that they developed a drug that selectively kills cancer cells in vitro, that’s an incremental step. When you hear that someone successfully cured a specific type of cancer in rats, that’s an incremental step.

The other potential explanation is that it’s because the speed task increases in difficulty as you get better at it. I’m hoping that’s the real reason.

How does this compare to other types of cognitive work? There are much more interesting things I’d rather spend my time on. It’d be nice to know if they have similar benefits.

Play your cards right and one of them might pay you to pull on it.

The main problem with X as a platform name is that it creates a lot of ambiguity that takes multiple reads to figure out. Twitter is unambiguous.

With no additional context, if you said that “the balls in this glass are generally blue”, I would interpret that meaning every ball falls within the range of hues that can still be called blue by most people but may be questioned by a few.

You could open the file manager, enter a URL instead of a local path, and suddenly it’s a web browser. I just thought it was a neat trick back then. It’s only in retrospect that I realise how dumb it is.

Not malicious in the sense that the intent isn’t to cause harm to us regular people. If buying those properties raised our prices and didn’t help them keep their money, they wouldn’t do it. If it didn’t raise our prices and helped them keep their money, they would still do it.

We already had subreddit simulator for ages. This isn’t anything new.

The poll didn’t even ask a real question. “Yes AI or no AI?” No context.
