I don't understand your ridiculous pedantry! I am talking about DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. I am not talking about other front ends to these services, nor did I dispute that your example deserved copyright protection. Invoke is very v

I am specifically talking about DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, your link describes something very different. The point was the "Google Images" analogy, which applies to 99.999% of AI art but this is an exception.

"AI art generators enable the creation of ignorant and lazy illustrations by outsourcing understanding to an idiot robot." "Yes, but is it not the intent of the artist to be ignorant and lazy?" It is possible to repeated

I am unable to think of a single animal behavior popularly ascribed to intelligence but in fact explainable by rote instinct. Do you have an example? OTOH there are plenty of animal behaviors that can only be explained by intelligence: seei

The problem is that it also included "doxxing" DOGE employees, even though they are significant public figures and their anonymity is almost certainly illegal. Protecting the identity of government employees who are more powerful

Specifically, better scores on the measures of impulsivity, emotional awareness and flexibility, and also the personality trait of agreeableness were all linked to higher patience scores.... But these results do suggest that patience i

I struggled reading the papers - Anthropic’s white papers reminds me of Stephen Wolfram, where it’s a huge pile of suggestive empirical evidence, but the claims are extremely vague - no definitions, just vibes - the empirical evidence seems

Even in self-driving, Telsa's behavior proves there is a market for cars that are programmed to speed and roll through stop signs. Waymos are safer than the average human, but the average human also intentionally chooses a strategy tha

I am not disputing any of that, nor am I trying to put a positive spin on anything coming out of Trump. My only point was that it's misinformation to say that the US is unilingual by policy - that only became partially true in March 20

> a country which is unilingual English by policy? To be clear the US only has a unilingual policy because Trump signed an executive order this year (and I believe even this SCOTUS would strike the order down as unconstitutional if anyon

This would be a valid POV if there was any solid evidence that LLMs truly increased worker productivity or reliability - at best it is a mixed bag. To stretch the food analogy, it seems like LLMs could be pure corn syrup, without any diseas

That's 100% false, dogs and pigeons can obviously think, and it is childish to suppose that their thoughts are a sequence of woofs or coos. Trying to make an AI that thinks like a human without being able to think like a chimpanzee giv

Maybe a roundabout answer to your question, but Peano's axioms are equiconsistent with many finite set theories (even ZFC without axiom of infinity), and I do think philosophically it makes more sense to say weak axiomatic set theory +

Do these probabilities mean anything at all? When Mosca and his colleagues surveyed cybersecurity experts last year, the forecast was sobering: a one-in-three chance that Q-Day happens before 2035. And the chances it has already happene

I have been told this guy is an irascible reactionary genius for like 15 years - he says so himself: "No. I’m an outsider, man. I’m an intellectual." Yet once again I see somebody with the sophistication of a teenager: If you

I didn't say "dogmatically believe," I said "accepted as plausible" - Nick Bostrom built an academic career out of this nonsense! Effective altruism people uses these theories to justify their advocacy. I would gues

The problem is they also put "worms" in the same category, and they aren't designed by humans to do anything! Why is it that the natural laws of a worm responding to Earth's environment are distinct from the natural laws

Tech's general atheism has left many tech people with a somewhat compromised ideological immune system: preposterous magical thinking is laundered with sci-fi language and accepted as plausible. (cf. the simulation "hypothesis&quo

I would say the situation for "agent" is about 10,000 times worse than it is for "set," since all the definitions for set are essentially different ways to make Frege / Cantor more rigorous. The underlying scientif

The real issue is that the monkey (or Stable Diffusion) cannot be sued in civil court for copyright infringement, so they can't be granted copyrights in the first place: it makes no sense to have one-way streets of legal responsibility

In theory transformers are Turing-complete and LLMs can do anything computable. The more down-to-earth argument is that transformer LLMs aren't able to correct errors in a systematic way like Lecun is describing: it's task-specifi

It is not a high standard, I am sure you could train a chimp to pass this test[1]. If you know how to use a standard coffee maker and live in a typical American home, and the test is done in an typical American home with a standard coffee m

How do you even compare those two things? And how do you separate technology from medicine? This statement seems like pure nonsense, hinging on a slippery definition of "technology" that in some contexts means "consumer gizmo

This was very unclear in the article - typically artificial hearts have external pumps and motors, the internal component is basically a fancy valve to manage flow/oxygenation correctly. But this one has an internal pump and motor, lik

Long-term planning is necessary if you have biters enabled: typically you need to secure territory/resources and invest in defenses before the resources run low and while the biters are still manageable. Otherwise things can get badly

I think the point of “The Main Bus” in guides is that it’s easy for newer players, and thereby takes a lot of complexity off the table when you still haven’t really figured out how petroleum works, or keep falling behind the biters becaus

Even the example in the post seemed closely related to other advances in consumer-level computing: I re-created this system using an RPi5 compute module and a $20 camera sensor plugged into it. Within two hours I wrote my first machine
