What are you doing with them you need so many? It sounds like a Gas Town situation, that you invented an exponential token burning machine.

The guy said medium/high regular speed so that's why I'm very puzzled! Ultra + Fast will absolutely slurp up your whole usage quickly but I've never found it gives substantially better results so I stick to extra high.

How?? I'm using sol Extra High 24/7 and it eats up about 1% per hour reliably, so it lasts about 4 days for me.

Yes, it turns out that using these machines is a littler harder than "make me the thing I want, make no mistakes, do it the way I want you to do it". This isn't "prompt better" advice, it's just to say that you

I for one welcome our new AI overlords.

I'm monitoring a process started in codex so maybe already in-flight things are still going / are about to hit a wall.

chat.com is down for me but the models seem to still be working. But actually i noticed instability last night at 3am eastern when thinking kept repeatedly failing.

Moreover none of the proposed measures would have prevented that, as you said it was in fact an error. The reason why this issue is so intractable is because the level of disruption must be measured against the risk of disenfranchisement. P

We just spent a year hearing from some asshole about how the government was spending too much money and couldn't afford frivolities, yet we're supposed to spend money on security theatre to fix a problem that doesn't actually

As if people of the future will be able to read. Maybe some future AI anthropologists will read it though.

Notably this was after he waged a violent attempt to overthrow the US government. I thought that would have been it for everyone but apparently I guess soccer is the thing.

That won't work because he already believes he owns everything from hemisphere from Greenland to Venezuela.

This came across my feed today so you can see where they are going with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1w51b0a/yoga_robo...

Yes, I do a thing where I ask the machine to generate responses in the form of a lizard talking to a cat. The lizard is always a green gecko and the cat is always orange, which I never specify.

I said backbone internet technologies on purpose. I don’t think those things qualify.

Yes, I think when the language leaves the lab is the perfect time to start thinking about branding and I do like MCL that one is apparently also a language from 30 years ago but nothing like abc. It would be pronounced “muscle”. https:&#x2

Sexbots. That's it, that's the whole thing. And slaves in general but yeah.

Very much this. There are so many good names out there left for the taking, there's no reason to choose one that's already associated strongly with another language.

Maybe, but it does make the analogy poor. Also what was said was they need AI to continue to grow, not that they will die without it. Some big companies just hit a ceiling and do consulting or become a bank. Look at GM or IBM. Apple is alre

How much did Disney invest in backbone Internet technologies in the 1990s?

So question then, why is it so hard to make an ai that doesn’t do these things? And why do Claude and ChatGPT have the same -isms? They’re both doing the same a/b post training with the same decisions?

No worries, Windows 11, browser I just tested in Opera and Edge. Shared Intel GPU runs at 70% in either, guessing due to the lovely clouds drifting by.

I always thought it could be because volume-wise, most English prose is probably marketing copy and actual clickbait; so when you train on the entire Internet, you get a troll adept at writing ads. Then people ask AdBot2000 to write a novel

Most students (90%+) in the CS program I teach at have used scratch as their first language and went on to have a good career. Whenever I ask they have great things to say about Scratch and how it fueled their love for programming.

No, they're saying there are upsides, even if you think they are small, or think they don't outweigh the downsides, you at least have to be honest about where the utility is.

Fund it. Unfortunately there's hardly any money for regular studies, let alone replication studies. If you want better science there has to be tax dollars behind it. Otherwise corporations choose what gets funded, and they only fund na

I largely agree with this piece but the author isn't really giving the AI development process a fair shot. It's not a matter of "prompt better" but of establishing processes that account for and correct agent shortcoming
