That was quick

Oh my god. 😂

GPT-4 uses the word “delve” so much because many of the RLHF’s (reinforcement learning human feedback) workers for GPT-4 were Nigerians who use the word “delve” a lot more relative to other countries.

So GPT-4 writes like an educated anglophone African.

Fascinating given that STEM achievement is such a focus. I'd expect verbal ability measures will better predict long term career success as well in general.

Mike Johnson really pointed at Trump when he was talking about 'hardened criminals' at their presser 🤣

The War on Drugs anti-narcotics ad, 1987.

People are often taken aback how anti-communist I am

~This is what happened to my family

Media is powerful. Chinese Americans are sharing this opening scene from 3 Body Problem on Netflix because it’s the first accurate depiction of the violence and horrors of the rise of communism that many have seen. It was even worse than this. It’s sparking a lot of dialogue.

Amazing book by some of the most brilliant thinkers in the field. It was an honor to spend time with Cass Sunstein and meet Danny Kahneman and Olivier Sibony while they were writing it.

Noise (such an honor to do this with the great Danny Kahneman; so loved working with Olivier Sibony as well).

'less than two in five (38%) are interested in becoming a people manager at their current organisation. The remainder would prefer to stay as ‘individual contributors’. 
“Business leaders might have a succession problem on their hands,” reads Visier’s report.' Ryan Wong

Not only this, but the US EEOC requires annual reporting on diversity. If employees don't self-identity to their employer, most HR departments make a best guess for the filing...relying on ID photos, names, schools attended, clubs and other 'signals'. It's kind of awful.

The socioeconomic ‘boots’ theory,’ as popularized by English author Sir Terry Pratchett. A great explanation of why being poor is so expensive.
