Yes, you need some kind of other source of truth. I think the best way to get that is to do clean room development with a different agent, but ultimately if you give them the wrong idea they'll do the wrong thing. The other thing I do,

This is the fault of the distribution of the benefits, not of the technologies themselves, at least in so far as they don't actively accelerate the shift of value from labor to capital. Washing machines reduce drudgery no matter who ow

Other than that, Ms. Lincoln, how was the play?

I felt the same way at the time. Now, I believe we have better things to spend our collective time and energy on.

Far from the most frustrating thing they did, trust me. I could tell you stories for days and never run out of more frustrating anecdotes.

Instead of registering foo.com, and having bob.foo.com, they would register bobfoo.com - they had hundreds or thousands of certs, as a result, and had to renew them all annually or biannually. We didn't even manage all of the domains,

Exactly what they did in many instances.

Okay, nowhere did I say it would be before they learned language. I said we could use models that can trivially build notetaking systems to auto-improve themselves by taking, refining, and updating notes as a memory system to exceed the x t

I was working for a company that had hundreds and thousands of domains. It was a fortune 50 company, and they had a policy generally against wildcard domains.

They're poking at SOX and Dodd-Frank I think, but it's a bit of a specious argument, in my opinion the rise of massive private equity (plus the absurd market orientation around short term results) is more of the story, as you say.

Or, to put it as Groucho Marx did: "Please accept my resignation, I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJHUres_2xU&t=228s

I'm pretty sure firefox itself is a direct contradiction to this, but ok...

I guess I fundamentally disagree, because on general knowledge they beat any human, and on processing speed they beat any human, and on problem solving likewise. I just don't see a domain besides "retain change over time" tha

I also think it's moving the goalpost significantly. If you asked me what AGI looks like in 2024, I would have said "smarter on tasks that can be done via text than the average random human you'd meet in a NY bodega", an

I feel like making a human-proof benchmark is pretty clear evidence that they've exceeded even the highest human capacity in most respects, for things that you can do via text generation (and to a lesser extent image generation)

Yeah my experience in the past was that datacenter hardware (air cooled, at least, I've never dealt with water cooled) uses tiny fans at or about 15000RPM, so it matches basically what you're saying or worse. I always loved this v

It's been a while since I messed with serious hardware, what's the cooling noise level? I guess they have to be water cooled or the rack format 8u ones would be about 100db

Directionally I think social media is going to be regarded like tetraethyl lead and asbestos. (So is a lot of the ways we use plastic, though maybe not actual e.g. polyethlyene itself)

It's a bit like backtesting, in finance. Quite useful to establish whether your algorithm is sane and coherent, no use at all in determining if it is actually useful, to my understanding.

Seconded. No job is worth damaging yourself permanently like that, even if it's "just" a temporary burnout, pull the ejection handle. It's a life safety issue. Start looking before you leave, preferably, but at the very

This is exactly and precisely why open source exists, for both the "never upgrade frozen version" case, and the extension into "fork it and make your own" case

I had to come back and comment because your "misunderstood genius" really resonated with me. It's even beyond that, in my opinion. What if everyone had perfect health, physically and mentally, and had been educated to the abs

Like Matt Uelmen's work in Diablo and Diablo 2... I haven't played the original in probably 25 years and I can still hear the Tristram soundtrack

Honestly it's really gratifying to hear that people around the world are getting the help they deserve, thanks for sharing.

I think I would actually characterize it as a mutual change - obviously the model doesn't change as far as I can tell, but changing the harness and context changes its behavior so wildly that it might as well. Bit of a pas de deux - I

Down the pipe, I think it's medium likely we'll start destructively scanning humans. Wild stuff, honestly.
