There should just be like 6 meme formats on arxiv, and when you upload your paper, the title is pasted on one of those as the thumbnail

I'm pretty shocked that he's seen One Piece. Like...what. Feels like totally wrong generation, and he'd have missed it during it's peak when he was knee-deep in paypal

His idea ain't it but your rule of thumb sould also lead to... never using AI tools for anything...

Gets even weirder when it's leaked that the demo was tele op'd

Maybe some latent factor: being so obsessed about your field that you're willing to move anywhere to do it, means you will also probably be pretty good at it

This is an insane finding. Excited to see what therapeutics come out of being able to do early drug screenings for psychosis using skin cells. Seems like something Recursion could also potentially explore at scale?

I don't think "without profit incentive" is accurate, else there wouldn't be so many artists complaining of fears about being put out of the job

Any technological or clinically relevant announcement that drove it?

I too would guess it's true that many currently on H1B wouldn't be able to get O1. But I think a very specific subpopulation of them would probably have a high success rate: specific field (for sure AI-related but maybe there are others), with high citation counts and from well-known PhD programs.

This a fantastic goal. You'll definitely be kept busy. Good luck!

I need to find more accounts on Bluesky in AI or Bio to follow. My 'Following' feed here is totally dead

Do you think people might start switching to different visa options, dampening the effect? For example, at least in machine learning, I don't think many PhD grads from top schools would have much difficulty getting an O1 visa, which I guess they could then use to do a postdoc in the US?

I do think the way we use the internet and discover truth online is already irreversibly changed

Everything they say about the future is mostly an extrapolation of the same failure modes models have now, which isn't necessarily going to happen, but also totally plausible to me.

This perspective on AI slop was pretty interesting. Their description of using current AI models to do creative tasks is roughly in line with my own experience.

Big fan of reading yearly reviews and especially enjoyed this one by @ftlsid.com . Think I'm inspired to (for the first time) write my own. cybermonk.substack.com/p/26

I think taxation also falls into a similar category to climate change, where really solving it requires international cooperation. As long as there is one place willing to undercut everyone else's tax rates, tax rates everywhere will get pulled down. Been a problem in Europe at least for a long time

algobaker @algobaker.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I agree we will likely hear some sad stories of legitimate benefits getting smashed in the name of efficiency. As an outsider (living outside the US) it will at least be interesting to follow along to see what we can learn from it

algobaker @algobaker.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I think a significant part of this problem is not just enforcement of taxes, but actually convincing people that their taxes are being spent effectively

Hyped about the work these guys are doing. Hopefully someone joins that can continue accelerating it. We need data!

Great idea- quite interested in what people end up doing with this

The thing to keep in mind is that the listing poster probably just slopped a bunch of requirements on there on autopilot without thinking too much. It probably isn't really that deep
