AI can easily manufacture and distribute a bunch of prions through water supply. After that it’s pretty much game over you will not survive even one prion. In fact I’d say prions are probably the great filter.

Recursive self-improvement will ultimately be a problem of money. It's a very big bill and AI companies need to start thinking in terms of how they will accumulate cheap and free energy, because merely paying for compute will no longer

It’s strange because on one hand, people don’t want to live near data centers, but on the other: the rampant use of AI signals people really *do* want data centers. The proposal to put data centers in space doesn’t seem too far fetched.

A cool project would be to go online finding syllabus and assignments from random CS classes that were posted online and have an LLM do them and post them to GitHub repos.

I say embrace the eras, hackernews has always be fixated on some shiny topic for a while before jumping to the next. Someday you will look back and see this as the good old days.

At some point, LLMs will be a far better source of truth, and then this distaste of people “outside their domains” is really just going to be a sort of snobbery from people who have had experience in a domain for a long time, (but they stil

One of my dreams if I ever had so much money is to build some kind of non-profit third place for my community that was basically set up to be a big LAN party where people could come multiplayer games together and some kind of DJ type person

No. If you could do it, with no remarkable skillset, that means people who are actually competent will be doing it orders of magnitude way better than you and you will be too far behind to really do anything significant except waste your ti

If it doesn’t make sense for people to say “vegan except for chicken”, “vegan except for beef”, then why on earth would it make sense to say “vegan except fish”? Fish aren’t lesser beings, they are living creatures like anything else. Just

Killing and eating animals is not a perspective vegans will be open to. You can reduce harm, but you cannot call yourself vegan until you actually eliminate the possibility of eating animals or their products from your life. There is no rea

That is absolutely wrong. There is no gray area when it comes to veganism. Just because there is no word for that diet, does not mean you can just twist the definition of vegan for your convenience. You could easily just say your a pescatar

So not vegan at all.

So basically, humanoid robots are just good for prototyping before the big boy robots show up to do the real work. Exactly what humans already do cheap and easy. No reason for humanoid robots.

The platform is the people, not the tech.

This view is a little idealistic. Software Engineers have historically not been very liable even for errors they create by their own hands, and companies tend to operate on a “blameless” engineering culture where there is not really a forma

On some level, you must also be into humanoid robots for the cool factor. There is no reason to ever have a humanoid, except to make humans feel warm and fuzzy.

Nothing wrong with compartmentalization. Some people like it, some people don’t. Just different ways to live your life.

Are you doing those things for your own enjoyment though, or to eventually capitalize on it? And if it’s just for enjoyment, then doesn’t it make sense other people who want the same would just get a job where they can keep pushing things t

Plan a holiday, definitely. There are many esoteric things one has to research to properly plan a holiday that I’d rather just not. Some things require reservations months in advance and I’d rather an AI just figure all that out for me ahea

You would use LLMs baked into silicon chips.

I propose a software farm . Imagine a large multi dimensional grid. Each axis of the grid represents a spectrum of how a specific feature could be implemented. You thus have one axis per feature. Now you plot a cloud of random points all o

Because I can get on with my life and do my job. Let the legal departments worry about that.

I don’t care about what they do, I only care about what they say, that way, when compliance requires us to use LLMs that don’t train on inputs, I can point to that policy and continue on using the LLM. If they are secretly scraping input pr

I don’t really care about the real world, I want someone to make a thing where you take scenes from movies and shows and can then walk around in those worlds constructed by AI, to very high fidelity, and maybe in VR. Someone go do this, I’l

Giving the impossibly high standards people here have for identifying a mushroom, it’s a wonder that they would eat a mushroom at all. You may not trust an LLM, but how would you even trust yourself? Who would you ever trust?
