Will Trump Ban TikTok? | EP 113

[@Kayleebear444]

Got me here for that caricature 😂 but even more weirded out by having your floating voices out of my head and on the screen 😱 love y’all and appreciate your journalism 💙

It seems to happen every time you've heard voices on a podcast for hours upon hours. When you finally get real faces along with the voices it is always so jarring as no-one looks as you think they should based on the potent mixture of their voice and your imagination. I think there's also some conditioning at a more abstract level in that you are so used to not having a visual element when hearing those voices that the introduction of any visual at all also feels strange?

[@SagePo]

Same!

[@Musamecanica]

your podcast has the best sound mixing, a treat to listen to on headphones. Compliments to the sound engineer!

[@lordie5625]

Great episode. I loved the Willow talk. Longer podcasts, please lol

[@martinpercy5908]

I use Claude constantly for work - it just understands what I'm doing so much better - huge problem: hitting usage limits. Easy revenue win for Claude: let me pay $20 to keep going now, don't force me to wait two hours.

You can use the developer console /workbench. Just sign up for an API account and put 20 bucks on. It lasts a long time if you're using 3.5 Sonnet.

Is it just me or did you miss the obvious question about quantum computing-which seems to me to be this: what are the implications of the advances in Quantum computing in relation to rapidly developing AI? Wihat happens when God-like intelligence meets God-like computing?

[@martinpercy5908]

totally agree!

[@EdSurridge]

The God analogy makes the religious look less than intelligent? The Pope is reportedly worried along with clergy who find their flock checking any advice or questions on the Chatbots

[@oldbuddyhouse]

You told me to come here from podcast land to see the caricatures. I’d never seen y’all though the years. In my head… Kevin looked like a late thirties Matthew Modine with comfortable shoes. And Casey was the hottest, youngest version of Bill Nye but will great hair. I’m going back to Spotify and let reality slowly fade away. 😂 Adore the show.

Love the sweaters

[@Nessvnessa]

Hi guys! Luv the sweaters and caricatures- been listening to you guys forever, but this is the first time checking you guys out on KZbin; just as handsome in person as the drawing😊Happy Holidays🕎🎄

[@ScottBaietti]

Never felt a need to watch you on KZbin until you mentioned the caricature. I will be listening to the rest on Podcast still, but you have successfully gotten me to come here and comment!

[@ScottBaietti]

What will you be doing with the drawing? I feel like it should be raffled off for charity.

[@cichlisuite2]

I suspect it was very much designed to boost KZbin traffic to the channel and let us all know there's more than just the podcast.

[@ronatibu]

I feel like ChatGPT voice mode is impressive technically (I mean, it seems ridiculous to criticize it at all considering the lightning pace of development of this technology) but actually not impressive at all from a product standpoint. The only cue it uses to determine that I'm done talking is length of the pause, which is a terrible one, and if it interrupts me, it doesn't recognize that, even though it's underlying text model should be able to figure out that it cut me off and allow me to continue. If Claude managed a normal human conversational style, that would be huge.

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

Thank You Guys Hope you have a Beautiful Christmas.💯✌️🎄

[@CircleworkTV]

This episode is such a fine morsel! Forehead kisses to all involved.

57:00 The idea of sycophancy you mention, technology acting as a “Yes Man” rather than challenging users or holding them accountable in any way, is incredibly relevant for AI development in general and could be a major unforeseen problem for our future. Even our machine learning algorithms that have become ubiquitous across the internet have the major learning goal of giving users content that affirms their perspective and engages attention rather than maximizing truth or new perspectives.

[@avi3681]

I'm not sure why the hosts undersold Claude's capabilities. It's still the best model for general purpose problem solving and coding. ChatGPT's o1 is better on specialized reasoning tasks, but I still prefer Claude for most general purpose work tasks.

[@penultimatepress7471]

What is the computer Julian mentions at 36:55 as a long term goal? I can't decipher that with my human ears.

[@carolinekelly6056]

"error-corrected computer" is what he says

[@human_shaped]

Claude is more sycophantic and people have crazy big egos they like stroked.

[@hardfork]

Who will buy TikTok??

[@SteveDondley]

What are you asking me for?

[@olothandomasiza6690]

Why would byteDance sell? They serve other markets

[@Nerdle777]

Ke$ha

[@NateBear]

I personally think Trump is trying to use his leverage to b extort some favor out of Byte Dance

[@jasonc5239]

You two look nothing like your voices!

[@thedarksage328]

The Quantum discussion wasn't that interesting. Maybe I just don't understand enough about it.

[@winkletter]

We've made so much progress. Journalists used to report what's trending on Twitter. Now they report how their AI chatbot explained a thing, lol. 😜

[@AnnaSowinski]

Claude ai advising as a trend? These people are Sheep.
