- Aug 24, 2023Twitter · reply@DefenderOfBasic if you *really* want to feel how money is a shared pool, become treasurer for your condo association/ hoa and wrestle with the budget vs dues increases

- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape I don't want Proof of Humanity to block automation & accessibility for synthetic intelligences; I want to embrace AI white magic for my own consumer benefit- while having stronger defenses against the black magic of adtech & psyops & spam, human or bot generated
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape I don't want to choose between blindly clicking Accept on GDPR pop ups vs. wasting precious hours of life opting-out & blocking data collection in fact I want to be able to opt IN to more personally beneficial, family & friends sharing, public good data collection use cases
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape I want assurances I can continue running atop the same model: that my existing embeddings won't become incompatible w new ones, that I won't lose the botsonality I've carefully prompted on a particular model, that I won't be rate-limited or constrained by nanny-state RLHF
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape I want to be able to backup & run my exocortex locally at home, not be dependent on an always on connection, and yet also have seamless ambient access via Cloud when out and about...
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape yeah, I'm actually more worried about bigtech incumbent platforms who have the integrations an actually useful AI assistant would need... like, the Apple / Android smartphone & app store duopoly is both frustratingly not interoperable and also not competitive enough imo
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · replyI agree w cynicism abt "just a GPT-wrapper" startups - it is precarious to depend on an external API to supply the magic brains for your wrapper UX... yet I think the work of designing the smile mask is as challenging & important as continued improvement of the shoggoth itself
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · replyI feel like many ppl are very hard at work on the models & the hardware to deliver us better and better capabilities, but we're not preparing to make the best use of them... like, the story of GPT as a nerdy toy vs ChatGPT becoming a huge super useful tool simply by putting a chat face on it- the UX delayed adoption & imo is still far from perfect
- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · postwe (techies / society) have some big problems to solve wrt - data privacy & adtech & psychological profiling - identity/auth vs anonymity, human vs bot - platform lock-in / ownership of tech & data - network effect incumbent wins vs competition for better algos & services - data collected by locations when you're simply *existing* in public spaces AI will…

- Aug 23, 2023Twitter · reply@ThatShawGuy @deepfates haha, I'm very open to (prefer?) the conclusion that I don't have autism, but ppl suggest / assume I do often enough to make me really ponder whether I'm oblivious to negative feedback
