The first things I think of with "fake it til you make it" are Tesla FSD[0] and Reddit[1]. To this day, if you visit Reddit while logged out it makes the claim that it's a place for "empathy"[2]. Reddit is a hotbed

"Nonviolent" does have a pretty straightforward definition that I think you can differentiate from your examples if you were inclined to judge impartially. When you're predisposed to an opinion, it's easy to come up with

It's odd how vilified Holmes has become, and how gleeful people--even in these comments--are at her lengthy prison sentence for a nonviolent crime. She faked it until she (didn't) make it--a strategy praised in other startup narra

The original tweet author eventually realized this didn't decrease tokens. In most cases it actually increases them compared to just asking GPT to summarize while retaining all functional data. If a word == 1 token, a related emoji wil

This is a low quality article that would lead people to believe incorrect information. The headline is incorrect, as they won't be "fixing" the problem. The latest news that I believe accompanied the statement quoted is that

It's naive to think the danger is in self-aware evil AI. AI is a tool, and can be used as a weapon. There's a functional power difference between a knife, an assault rifle, and a nuke. Everyone owns knives--they're in your ki

It's a lot easier and faster to destroy than to defend. To defend, you need to know what you're defending against, develop the defense, and then roll it out, all reactively post facto. If a computer has the ability to quickly make

I read that as well, and either it's unclear or I lack the technical understandings to apply that to my question. What does "at the baseband level" mean in terms of remote attack vector? Do they need to be physically nearby w

Four things of note: 1. I've not seen anyone explain whether this could be exploited by anyone with access to phone lines (i.e. Twilio users) or not and if it would be trivial to try the vuln with every phone number you could find in a

Since I don't think anybody's linked it yet, there was a lot of press about the anti-fire foam the airforce uses in drills (and actual fires) being toxic and leaking into the water systems in every base.[0] They said they'll

Related to Listerine: I have a memory of reading a study that had people use mouthwash (possibly Listerine) the night before taking a cognitive test. The mouthwash group did worse than the control group for some reason. I'd really love

I can't say if it's right or wrong, but in relation to your specific example, there are "adverse possession" laws that grant legal rights to the occupier of land in the US.[1] [1] https://www.nolo.com/leg

I didn't see the commenter arguing on behalf of outdoor dining, so that's a bit of a straw man argument. Additionally, there's a difference between people opting to participate in mutually risky behavior (eating maskless in a

Reading your comment, it's unclear how far you're keeping from others. The only information is that other people don't feel safe given your distance and lack of mask. It's analogous to you feeling like you're a safe

Speaking of misleading cybersecurity language, note how you used the term "nation-state", which is a word that indicates a specific subset of countries and is not just a fancy synonym for "country".

This is some pretty terrible journalism. They start out with a personal story in the lede that I assume is not related to the study and whose subject was probably not informed that he'd be called "less educated" without any s

The problem with the benevolent AI idea is that it's not in the interest of anyone with power/money/production to create it. That's why I agree with your second point of rethinking "work". Instituting a Univers
