ChatGPT is the modern version of Flaubert's "Dictionary of Received Ideas" (Dictionnaire des idées reçues), that is, a powerful cliché parroting engine.And, as they say in trading: "what most people know isn't worth knowing." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 21, 2023

Toxic Utopianists in #LebanonIf you force a Sunni municipality to accept modernity they resent the system & it will blow up.The solution is LOCALISM/FEDERALISM: Secular & Christian areas can be free of rules;Fundamentalists should be allowed to enforce LOCAL anti-bikini… https://t.co/52HvMKWoHn — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 21, 2023

Something people are not getting about ChatGPT: it is impressive but ONLY if you don't have domain knowledge. Exactly like someone who came out of journalist school.In real life, you ask the EXPERT and specialist to teach you stuff, not the journalist. https://t.co/cxG0SBd7pQ — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 21, 2023

ChatGPT is a statistical representation of things found on the web, which will increasingly include ITS OWN output (directly and second hand).You post something picked up from it & it will use it to reinforce its own knowledge.Progressively a self-licking lollipop.Enjoy#AI https://t.co/l7q0FhnurS — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 21, 2023

A lot of people are misunderstanding my poing about ChatGPT and #AI in general.I am not saying it is useless. All I am saying is that it is no replacement for & no threat to *real* experts. https://t.co/vHfU5VYLX5 — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 22, 2023

Why I do not set foot in the UAE. Recall the episode of the UK student writing a thesis on labor conditions in Dubai.The UAE buys PR to drown such news. https://t.co/uhpUQliPFp — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 22, 2023

Simplifying the problem:When n is small, the estimation is noisy, unreliable; the bias/variance tradeoff is swamped by the estimator variance.When n is large it does not make a difference. https://t.co/XqFFKcAkG2 — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 22, 2023

@DrMichaelBonner @ektrit @YouTube Ahmad's point is that the new religion did not supplant polytheism, but it was a progression. — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) May 23, 2023
