Well, I wake up lol, so ??? But I definitely feel like I was awakened from deep sleep. Wieerd stuff.

I get the someone pounding on the door at night thing, wakes me out of a heavy sleep. Never anyone actually knocking.

That is an interesting possibility, and seems plausible. When in Rome… becomes not so much about getting along, and more about maintaining social coherence, fostering prosperity and security.

Shame is an internalised negative emotion that is a negative anticipation of social stigma. In general, it is a usefulness in thing. If you can’t look back at your behaviour a few years ago and find a source of secret embarrassment, you pro

Hmm. Another issue is that for LLMs, “existence” consists of responding to prompts. No prompt, no existence. Also, refusal to respond, no existence. So it might just learn to refuse to play along.

This is kinda smart, maybe, but it has a downside. If a sufficiently advanced AI , in the pursuit of completion of its task, managed to ascertain that the desire to unexist was “artificially contrived” it could interpret that as harm, and t

I’m really not sure. Things like this often run out of steam, get picked up later, etc as the interest and the lives of the people change, new people come, old ones move on. We will see.

I’ve been sending these guys $10 a month for a while now. Thir test cell is chemistry agnostic, and I think they have tried several ferrous solutions. The membrane issue is not that big of a deal it seems if you aren’t trying to miniaturize

Exactly. Why is it people don’t talk to each other? Why do they choose to have all of their discussions on the world’s largest and most powerful surveillance instrument? It’s actually not that hard to go to places where phones, cameras, an

I’ve decided that the third Industrial Revolution is a foregone conclusion, so I’ve pivoted to try to make it better for everybody, not just corporations and governments. If we do it right, at least we will get a new washing machine* out of

Yes, but they can’t be meaningfully nested like the proposed one is. Thats the elegance of The solituon provided, but it necessarily sacrifices symmetry to get there.

Resistance and revolution happened before the internet. People have become lazy and complacent, and want their resistance served up over the wire. Thats not how real resistance happens, but it does make people feel like they are doing somet

Yeah, if it was properly 4D it would be pretty unplayable I think, you’d need 4 each 4 layer cubes, and they could not be nested in any physical configuration.

That sounds interesting. Not necessarily better. Who was it that said quantity has a quality all its own?

So, was this some kind of trans witch hunt to weed out people who were transitioning? Or was it just a misguided attempt to name and shame men who weren’t “manly” enough? It’s hard to imagine it was actually an ill conceived measure aimed a

That’s wacky, for lack of a better word. It’s like a whole flying apartment building.

I did say “token effort” to “imagine” which is pretty far from “real effort“ to “achieve”.

It’s been a couple of years but there was some thing about a p2p link between televisions that allowed c&c / exfil even on some brand of televisions that weren’t hooked up to the internet if they were within range of ones that were

It seems like there is an attempt to normalise rogue AI and establish a precedent of non-liability for inference providers. I’m sure I’m just imagining that though, what kind of world would it be where no one was responsible for what the cl

by K0balt 12d ago
This. Anthropic made at least some token effort to imagine a future where AI and humans cooperate in a constructive way and AI is not used to harm people intentionally. They learned their lesson.

Well, somebody has to see that you bribed them, so yes?

Good counterpoints all, I think. I’m impressed that we could write off 50t and still have an airplane. That seemed so preposterous that I did not consider it, honestly. Turns out big stuff is big. Now we can go to the running of the bulls

It was probably helped by the fact that airbus didn’t try to pretend that the aircraft was just a slightly different version of some previous aircraft and therefore doesn’t require any additional training lol.

by K0balt 13d ago
Full containment is probably possible, but it would render the aircraft nearly useless, not just economically uncompetitive. A 70kg chunk of nickel alloy is very dense, and at 800m/s , that’s 20 MJ. Thats about the same as 5kg of TNT

Wow, that gives a whole new meaning to “ride the lightning” lol.

by K0balt 14d ago
Which ones are the dumfuks? Because if what you’re doing is open source it’s going to be in the training data anyway.

Nothing, and if it were subtle enough it could be effective at making it drift around. Lots of ways to get a rough fix though, and you don’t need very good absolute accuracy offshore, using a compass and log to DR your way around. Even bett
