I don't know why everyone assumes RSI will be quadratic or exponential growth. It might well be sublinear, but just faster than humans. Most problems in science face severe diminishing returns.

The study was done by one of the most respected and independent groups out there (insurance companies have a very high incentive to know what's real here). Waymo provided the data and probably helped pay for it.

Point of fact: we do not treat vehicular homicide seriously in the American legal system.

As Stephen Miller loves to remind us, we had the first net emigration in decades this year. They're rounding up legal immigrants and putting them in concentration camps where they're dying because they're being denied medical

The US government is labeling anyone who says they're "anti fascist" as terrorists, and shut down a major Italian private email provider using that rationale.

That's nonsense. It's imparted us with incredible prosperity and peace. The US is a much poorer and worse nation due to you and your kind destroying what we built.

To my understanding gemma is shipped with waymo, in a highly modified fashion. I'm skeptical, tho. Cost will push for right sizing, much like we have right sized a lot of things about modern cars.

Is there a local makerspace? They often will have free nights where you can pick up some knowledge with direct supervision. Having someone else watch you is incredibly helpful.

I really can't find any other possible interpretation of their wall to wall decisions on anything election related. They are a knowing and enthusiastic participant in the coup.

Are you saying that senior military leadership has earned the right to a little light graft?

Psychology is so much more complex and varied in its manifestations and etiologies than you're suggesting here. I'm glad that you found a framework that helped you with your experiences, but it's very important that you under

I'm skeptical that the federal government can be saved. I suspect we will experience a process of balkanization.

The goal is to encourage users to move to the next generation. The fewer models they serve, the less excess capacity they need to provision. Serving more models also adds a significant ops burden on the SREs and trust& safety teams.

A month is not enough time for any meaningful change in an organization the size of Deepmind/Google. These models were surely the result of work streams and teams that started under Demis. I think Demis can safely feel proud Deepmind i

Like "price fixing". Landlords illegally colluding to artificially inflate the price of housing.

Have you considered that people actually have ethical beliefs and you're the one that is weird?

I really don't want to support a man who has killed so many people and advocates so aggressively for white supremacy and the elimination of trans people.

Conviction rate only measures cases brought to trial. The overwhelming fraction of cases do not go to trial.

I'm skeptical that we will have an exchange of power in the next 40 years. The USSR is a great example: it took 65 years to fall, and the collapse didn't bring it to anything particularly good.

Linear scaling doesn't make sense, no. There are three ways it's wrong: * better to measure relative reduction in error, which gives you a 30% improvement * improvement tends to become significantly more difficult the closer you c

The big tobacco lawsuits hinges on the same things these will: (1) Did they know they were hurting users? (2) Can the harm be shown. The big tobacco companies intentionally suppressed studies that showed harm, and promoted their product whi

US military standard for "did we kill civilians" with drone attacks is "do these appear to be combat aged males, based on satellite photos". It's monstrous.

These people are all already making 9 figure compensation packages, I think if they thought they could do the work they wanted at Google, they would.

Idk, they never struck me as being into eugenics. What the fuck man? I really don't want some tech startup trying to "fix" my neurodivergence.
