Any paths for regulation under capitalism will end in either regulatory capture, or in complete noncompetitiveness like seen in the EU. Either one or more corporations buy out the regulation, stack the ranks with their people and decide on

This is a call to end capitalism. Its completely impossible to do what you suggest with the incentives of capitalism.

No-one cares anymore, OpenAI does not care about the prize either or whatever the Clay institute has to say for that matter. It's about attention, capital and compute. If you can use the result to increase shareholder or company value,

Sure, and it will explain it to you from the same embedding space that yielded the solution that LRU cache is unbeatable.

Accountability is not possible when progress moves faster than law. It was noticed around 2023 when it was clear that legal is outpaced by technology that this is a runaway process with no turning back and no accountability. There was a blo

What I feel a bit annoyed by, and what I feel obviously LLM-run ablations like this fail to capture, is any kind of reflection around previous research or any kind of proof that this is the best you can do. You don't know, you pulled t

Most songs on digital platforms are upsampled to higher waveform qualities using AI, do you only listen to physical media?

What if it was an author punching that in, and then refining it to make it sound less like AI? Or an author structuring their chapters with the help of AI? Or an author fixing their spelling using AI? Or rewording sentences using AI? Or an

Income loss is a different question, it's not about your identity, which is what the post is about.

This points to the bigger issue of people tying their value and identity to their livelihood. There is way too much clout, ego and identity chasing going on in all informational fields. If you instead identified as a parent, as a hobbyist p

We are still human and have human biases and desires, many humans can be good use to for example let rich people express power, experience sexual pleasures, and other emotions that are pre-wired in us. An AI cant be a good proxy for emotion

> It becomes harder to find and therefore listen to music you like when every avenue of discovering music is drowned out with 1000 AI-generated songs for every 1 human-made song. Creative expression and consumption of media are different

Survivorship bias. You can't tell at some point. You probably already are listening to AI songs, and looking at AI images. You can only tell what you know. Given the amount generated daily its more probable than improbable.

You are free to perform create expression, I love writing blogs, my friends like reading and talking about the blogs with me, I dont care if Claude or GPT can write much better blogs. In the same way if it was just about creative expression

Southern states have more republicans so it's easier to sell public land or draw this kind of contracts without a massive community backlash

Clearly the LLM was more than capable to satisfy him, and his conviction was based on pure bias against the technology rather than being grounded in reality. The only result is that we both have more time. If he didn't like slop, he wo

This is an incredibly boring task. Nothing new, just rewrite everything to just see it all rewritten again in 1 year. Perfect for LLMs and something humans shouldn't do.

You won't be able to choose at some point, and you probably already read plenty of AI generated stuff, it's a survivorship bias. I have a SKILL that emulates how my supervisor prefers his answers and papers, he used to get trigger

I think the idea is really cathartic for many, there kind of is no more supreme resolution than this. You(and humanity) are freed from our flesh prisons of cognition and also get to experience/feel what the next evolution of informatio

I totally understand and agree, I just feel like with the progress that we have in automating informational work, you are going to have an exponential amount of these "deaths" as new fields where humans can provide any kind of val

Well maybe its time to pivot from mathematics, and science as whole from personal attribution to being about progress of the field? Maybe your contribution to humanity as a mathematician is to find the right meaningful question to ask, and

This assumes completely techo-rational actors that continuously monitor cost-benefit analysis, other alternatives and switch products when one outweights the others. This is even further away from the reality where people have breakdowns be

There are 3 billion users of FB/WhatsApp/Instagram combined, most people don't give a shit and are just trying to minimize cognitive effort. My elderly parents would absolutely love if someone would just tell them what to do

That's the whole goal with the pricing model. Its not predatory because the customer is still paying for it. There is a choice to not pay and use a different service. If there are reasons to not do so, we are not at the predatory level
