What psychological mechanisms allow us to pour hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence while 600 million people will live in extreme poverty by 2030?

Bari Weiss gushed about the popularity of El Salvador’s president,
who describes himself as the “world’s coolest dictator,”
and how safe he’s made the Central American nation
– without noting he’s suspended basic civil liberties,
has been accused of making deals with gang leaders,
and has thrown thousands of innocent people in jail without giving them a fair trial.
Months later, on Sunday night, Weiss squashed a CBS News story on the treatment of immigran…

one of my hottest takes is that shared laundry machines in an apartment building is better than in-unit. it's a good example of how individual solutions can be worse than collective ones.
with shared machines you can use two machines at once at a less-busy time. a single in-unit machine would take twice as long. in-unit means the noise the machine generates is inside your apartment, so you can't have guests over or take a meeting while it's running

In-Context Clustering with Large Language Models
We propose In-Context Clustering (ICC), a flexible LLM-based procedure for clustering data from diverse distributions. Unlike traditional clustering algorithms constrained by predefined similarity measures, ICC flexibly captures complex relationships among inputs through an attention mechanism. We show that pretrained LLMs exhibit impressive zero-shot clustering capabilities on text-encoded numeric data, with attention matrices showing salient cluster patterns. Spectral clustering using attenti…
