But you can just give computers to each of those millions of people and propagate the information, instead of having less reliable humans doing it? That's kind of what's already happening.

Unpopular to say, but the government is just better at deciding what's good for most children than their parents when it comes to matters of health. Unfortunately most parents are just very uneducated or lacking in discipline, and no c

This is a tricky one, but it actually gives control to the government, not corporations. The government now has rules which let them define what social media is and how big its market can be. The government is, frankly, just better at decid

Please do not think of LLMs like human helpers, that is a recipe for long term sociopathy.

It's just not comparable though is it? You need cloud services because it's physically impossible to use your single home computer as a server, CDN, load balancer, mass storage, security service, and distributed system. But AI is

Putting aside that PG does not engage with AOC's point, he also doesn't engage with the much stronger argument against them: Billionaires are clearly a national security risk.

Well, no, no country on earth has an expectancy in the mid 80s, I was being generous with your wording. 40-50 countries have expectancy between 80-84, which is early 80s. Most countries are sub-80.

Yeah, sure, but only like, 10-100 fewer housing units per 100k people.

So they're losing out on a few dozen new units, but it is made up for by renters across the board having to pay less rent and thus having more money to put into the economy? Seems like a good trade to me?

How do you quantify "incentive"? Is a landlord really looking at 5% lower property value and deciding it's not worth investing? Is this even true in aggregate?

by dreambuffer 3mo ago
That doesn't seem to be true, the global expectancy is 73 and only a dozen of the wealthiest countries are mid 80s. I wouldn't be worried about dying at 70, but maybe I'm built of tougher stuff.

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but don't most people die around age 70-80?

Rome had the "frumentarii", which was essentially a proto intelligence agency to do spywork for emperors.

The distrust is not even ideological anymore, we just want our services to keep working without some guy deciding to nuke everything the next day for literally no reason.

I never said I was better than them, but I can acknowledge that some people are. Even then, only in the domain of software, not in terms of human value.

This post resonates with my situation very much, although I have not made even a tiny fraction of the contributions this person has. I think if a person like this is struggling to find work, but the donkeys who code my government's dys

There was no implication of anything you're suggesting. It's a question of correctness (bias vs facts, predicting the sun will rise vs predicting the end of the world), whether you think it's important to be correct as a matt

He co-authored a report, which is something more than an opinion. It may be used to inspire policy. There should be greater reputational consequences for publishing something you spent a few months studying and writing about along with seve

FYI: The author has predicted that "AGI" will be here in 1-2 years and has staked his public reputation on it. He is personally invested in trendlines being lindy rather than sigmoid. I don't think you can use lindy on trends

This assumes: - that you spend no amount of time looking things up, reorganising, or otherwise getting stuck - that you have a solution to the problem ready to go at all times - that your solution is better than the LLM's solution I hi

Depends, some systems are dynamic. There is also a gray area where obscurity can be computationally infeasible to attack, but not bound by traditional polynomial assumptions in cryptography. As is always the case in these semantic discussio

I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean here. If something is obscured, by definition it is less visible. Being 'less typical' is a form of security because most attacks rely on some form of pattern recognition, an

It's not an environmental issue, data centers are overleveraged in the US due to a belief that they need to win the "AI race". The government is putting their hand into the market to try and shift this balance, when they shou

The silent ones have also gone insane though. You don't get to see it as much, but they're the people promoting bad policies and funding delusional projects behind the scenes. Every so often one of them will make a public statemen

If it is that easy for foreign governments to influence the very thoughts people have day-to-day, then something is extremely broken in your system and nearly all the blame is on your government for allowing that to happen.
