  • Yes but that’s not the biggest problem. Selfishness is the biggest problem as far as relationships are concerned. Every Republican I’ve ever known has this attitude that their view of things, which is invariably biased in their interests, is the only possible correct one and that anyone who disagrees is both extremely dumb and morally inferior. With friends this is not the biggest problem because you don’t have to share stuff with them. In a relationship though, it becomes really problematic fast.




  • As I use copilot to write software, I have a hard time seeing how it’ll get better than it already is. The fundamental problem of all machine learning is that the training data has to be good enough to solve the problem. So the problems I run into make sense, like:

    1. Copilot can’t read my mind and figure out what I’m trying to do.
    2. I’m working on an uncommon problem where the typical solutions don’t work
    3. Copilot is unable to tell when it doesn’t “know” the answer, because of course it’s just simulating communication and doesn’t really know anything.

    2 and 3 could be alleviated, but probably not solved completely with more and better data or engineering changes - but obviously AI developers started by training the models on the most useful data and strategies that they think work best. 1 seems fundamentally unsolvable.

    I think there could be some more advances in finding more and better use cases, but I’m a pessimist when it comes to any serious advances in the underlying technology.

    That’s not actually related to my point though. This is more like:

    First they tweeted offensive things about women, and I made sure that thing they tweeted is now the only thing we talk about.

    Then we couldn’t talk about all the women dying of not getting abortions on time because we’re too busy talking about tweets.

    How about we stop focusing on reacting in kind to things the biggest nazi assholes say (possibly to evoke this sort of reaction and get more attention for themselves) and maybe just ignore them instead so they don’t bring down the conversation to some bullshit fascist online troll level.
