Are OpenAI or Anthropic et al seriously building towards “world models”? I haven’t seen any real evidence of that. It seems more like they are all in on milking LLMs for all they are worth.

It’s become clear that some form of top down total technocratic control like China has implemented is essential for pushing humanity forward.

It is quite literally losing money at an unsustainable rate. They need a path to profitability otherwise this is a massive boondoggle for all of the investors

Okay let’s calm down a bit. “Extremely important” is hyperbolic. This is novel, sure, but practically jailbreaking an LLM to say naughty things is basically worthless. LLMs are not good for anything of worth to society other than writing co

Please put two and two together for the rest of us clowns who can’t quite figure it out. State your beliefs plainly so we can come up with some solutions.

I can’t remember the exact date. It’s all part of a “tradition” since at least the 90s. First things were PC, then there were SJWs, then woke, then DEI. Who knows what they will call it next. It’s always complaining about the same thing, ju

The inconvenient truth that the vast majority of adults refuse to acknowledge is that there is no safe level of alcohol. Any drink is going to damage you, marginal though it may be. Unfortunately the healthiest thing you can do is simply ne

Why are westerners so single mindedly obsessed about this decades old event?

Kind of an odd move to pepper the HN thread on Dick Cheney’s death with non-sequitur comments about “the left”

As in, did they use cameras? Image recognition? Manual record keeping? Thought it was pretty obvious that I was asking for more detail. Perhaps OP meant they ran an online casino and not an actual casino.

Seems like a moment of moral clarity for someone who had an opportunity to do the right thing. I suppose the organization in question here needs to screen more aggressively for individuals with zero moral compass.

Reports suggest there was an interaction that occurred between HR and some 13,000 staff, ultimately resulting in job losses. The staff were noted to be “behaving suspiciously “. Investigations are underway.

I do think a lot of these people who claim reverse racism just have no idea what the word “equity” even means.

How do you fix racism?

This is called a strawman argument and is functionally worthless for this discusson

Do you have any suggestions for how the PSF could fulfill its mission of being more inclusive in a non-immoral way?

Pretty bold statement with no evidence.

I find the nature of AGI discussion to be so narrow and tedious. Intelligence is incomprehensibly more than being able to generate text that looks convincingly like a human wrote it. The coordination of a physical body, the formation of nov

Because the amount of people stating that AGI is just around the corner is staggering. These people have no conception of what they are talking about.

You know that really powerful computer you have with a fancy graphics card and next-generation processor and all that RAM? You know that really fast Internet connection you have? Yeah we’re not really going to use any of that. Instead, we’r

Not sure what your twitter comment is about, I use it and I’ve just never heard of this product. Looks cool, I will give it a test.

Really such an annoying genre of comment. Yes I’m sure your groundbreaking bespoke code cannot be written by LLMs, however for the rest of us that build and maintain 99% of the software people actually use, they are quite useful.
