Twitter is not a public outlet of free speech and you'd have to be an absolutely batshit lunatic to claim it is after everything that's happened with Musk's acquisition.

It’s far more than reasonable, it might be Google’s saving grace. I wasn’t going to bother even testing Google’s AI products unless everyone started gushing about how much better they are than GPT4 but with 60 free queries per minute? That’

If some lab grown brain tissue were all that’s needed for sentience we wouldn’t have such a hard time understanding it to begin with.

TSMC doesn’t have a real monopoly, they’re just a few years ahead of everyone else in integrating ASML’s latest tech. Samsung and Intel aren’t very far behind. The more money TSMC charges the more incentive the others have to catch up but t

In reality cats are man's best friend. Dogs are a child surrogate, except they never reach an age where they're independent. Which is probably half the appeal: they never outgrow us, unlike our children (or our cats).

The best part is how it's marked as a tourist attraction on Google Maps with 14 5 star reviews, despite only one person ever visiting it. The article kind of glosses over how inaccessible this place is. Rob Mark got extraordinarily luc

We're not talking about a war on drugs that "didn't completely solve the problem", we're talking about one that made the problem ten times worse and fucked up society in the process. It doesn't matter if it had

Ironically those translations are some of the best datasets for AI. Those translations are very high quality.

Tigers eat grass and small animals like termites just like domesticated cats do so I don't think their diet has been selected for as much as you think. They more likely became popular as pets because of what they eat. Avoid evolution

It’s not a dead end per se because cockroaches are used as a model organism in neuroscience experiments. They’re just not very useful outside of academic research for the same reason that they’re useful in the lab: their brains are very s

Yes but scientists have only recently managed to use implants to study navigation in fish [1], so we don’t know how to control them. Fish brains are significantly more complex than cockroaches so it might not be feasible. [1] https:/&

In the US this is often the case at Brazilian steakhouses. They're usually higher end than regular buffets though because the meat is the main attraction and they're not stingy with it.
