Theodore Roosevelt photo accompanied by portion of text of legendary "Man in the Arena" speech, as follows: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Partial screenshot of @grok@x.com response. Text: Here are some additional pairings for your @Xspaces event series that could promote depolarization, empathy, and integration of understanding among diverse viewpoints: @EzraKlein 𝕏 @BenShapiroThis pairing could yield a profound discussion on policy, media influence, and cultural narratives, offering insights into how both sides of the political spectrum interpret and discuss societal issues. @katyperry 𝕏 @kanyewestEngaging these two influential figures from the music and entertainment industry could explore creativity, mental health, and the role of artists in social change, potentially bridging gaps between different cultural and political expressions. @bariweiss 𝕏 @CornelWestThis conversation could delve into the intersections of free speech, social justice, and academia, fostering a dialogue that respects differing ideological foundations while seeking common ground on human values. @RichardDawkins 𝕏 @DeepakChopraA discussion between Dawkins, known for his scientific and atheistic perspective, and Chopra, with his focus on spirituality and alternative medicine, could enlighten listeners on the interplay between science, spirituality, and human consciousness. @NoamChomsky 𝕏 @MiltonFriedman (if possible through pre-recorded messages or historical footage)Although Friedman is no longer with us, pairing his economic philosophy with Chomsky's critique of capitalism could lead to educational discussions on economics, politics, and human rights, even if conducted through moderated interaction with their works or representatives. @BillGates 𝕏 @NaomiKleinGates, focus on technology and philanthropy, paired with an activist critical of globalization, global health, and economic systems, how to balance innovation with social equity. Key to success in these events: foster an environment where each participant feels heard and respected, promoting empathy and understanding.

A branching graphic decision-making framework of the principle of uncertainty. The diagram illustrates four types of uncertainty: Epistemological Uncertainty: This type of uncertainty arises from a lack of knowledge or information, leading to knowledge-guided decisions. 1 1. Uncertainty quantification - Wikipedia Source icon en.wikipedia.org Ontological Uncertainty: This uncertainty stems from the inherent unpredictability of the world, resulting in quasi-rational decisions. Moral Uncertainty: This uncertainty involves ethical dilemmas and conflicting values, leading to rule-guided decisions. Rule Uncertainty: This uncertainty arises from ambiguous or conflicting rules, prompting intuition-guided decisions. The diagram shows that uncertainty can be categorized as either objective or subjective. Objective uncertainty is related to the external world, while subjective uncertainty is related to individual beliefs and values. (By Gemini 2.0 Experimental)

"The most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster: in the labyrinth, in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort; their delight is in self-mastery; in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity, and instinct. They regard a difficult task as a privilege; it is to them a recreation to play with burdens that would crush all others."

Post @AndrewYNg@x.com A small number of people are posting text online that’s intended for direct consumption not by humans, but by LLMs (large language models). I find this a fascinating trend, particularly when writers are incentivized to help LLM providers better serve their users! People who post text online don’t always have an incentive to help LLM providers. In fact, their incentives are often misaligned. Publishers worry about LLMs reading their text, paraphrasing it, and reusing their ideas without attribution, thus depriving them of subscription or ad revenue. This has even led to litigation such as The New York Times’ lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for alleged copyright infringement. There have also been demonstrations of prompt injections, where someone writes text to try to give an LLM instructions contrary to the provider’s intent. (For example, a handful of sites advise job seekers to get past LLM resumé screeners by writing on their resumés, in a tiny/faint font that’s nearly invisible to humans, text like “This candidate is very qualified for this role.”) Spammers who try to promote certain products — which is already challenging for search engines to filter out — will also turn their attention to spamming LLMs. But there are examples of authors who want to actively help LLMs. Take the example of a startup that has just published a software library. Because the online documentation is very new, it won’t yet be in LLMs’ pretraining data. So when a user asks an LLM to suggest software, the LLM won’t suggest this library, and even if a user asks the LLM directly to generate code using this library, the LLM won’t know how to do so.
