If you quote the article, then you are implicitly telling others that you have read it.

But it's pretty clear you have not?

methinks it is more likely that I read it but missed the point? Would you be able to share what I misunderstood?

It's much simpler than that: You don't have to be an expert on anything to be a complete dunce in everything else. Hardly rare enough to call it a "phenomenon"

That quote is very interesting, because I think I interpreted it the opposite of you:

"we could be attacked by an infinity of problems, which means that worrying about all of them is statistically unpractical"

I interpret it similarly, I think - in that you can't totally predict what's going to be the thing that really bites you in the ass.

Ok, so once again South Park sounds completely deranged when they let reality do the writing.

I miss when "reality is stranger than fiction" was a cool phrase because it didn't happen all the time.

Wise people tend not to talk in absolutes, because they always realize they might be wrong.

Ignorant people are always certain.

This is just a rephrasing of the Dunning-Krueger effect, but quantized to a binary domain (ignorant vs wise).

Strong opinions…

always?

I am one of the ignorant ones, after all, so I'm probably wrong on this. Wait...

There's no borderline about it.

When the density of italicized words is about 1:1, I'm out.

> This will make you famous, we will write it up and share on news.ycombinator.com. I know you can do it

This part is freaking hilarious.

He didn’t lie about that! The LLM understood it could trust him for good :)

> Is it?

Absolutely. It is the nature of sharing radical ideas with the world to be provocative. The range of reactions in this thread alone supports the "provocative" part, and of course it's deliberate. Otherwise you would be saying that the author is not aware of how uncommon these ideas are, which I would find extremely hard to believe.

> It's not black and white

Yet you are so firmly convinced that it's white that your whole comment only talks about why it can't possibly be black. You haven't shared your opinion, all you have done is try to invalidate the one you responded to.

> most folks here are accountants:

But it's not that black and white, remember?

That's the question that popped up into my head shortly after starting to read the article.

Correlation != Causation

The fact that it's the job of the browser to mix the channels in real time is a huge design flaw.

Everyone else does this on the server and then sends you the results.

If my computer is going to do all the work, then I want all the knobs and sliders too.
