@GaryMarcus @GoogleDeepMind @OpenAI It really bothers me how there's this false dichotomy, like Republican or Democrat, Christian or Atheist, AGI or doomer. Nuance is dead.

@Leegaul @GoogleDeepMind @OpenAI i find the insecurity remarkable given how many times i have personally and publicly called their work impressive and it is never enough for them or their fans.

@GaryMarcus @GoogleDeepMind @OpenAI Exactly. Even if OpenAI was truly innovative, it's hard to root for a bunch of jealous, insecure trolls who just want to win at all costs.

Personal observation: The level of intellectual discussion with @GoogleDeepMind vs @OpenAI that I am able to have is literally night and day.

DeepMind knows my work, can raise serious objections, propose and develop alternatives, etc.

OpenAI speaks to me with insulting memes

The statement by @Leegaul addresses the issue of false dichotomies in public discourse, suggesting a lack of nuance in discussions about political, religious, and technological topics. This constitutes public discourse as it engages with societal issues and the nature of public debate.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but could be seen as indirectly critical of those who engage in binary thinking.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by highlighting the need for nuance in discussions, which can foster empathy and compassion.聽[+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism of the current state of discourse, without resorting to personal attacks.聽[+1]
