What connection to morality is there from taking action and earning less money? I can think of many morally positive situations that would match this odd vague phrasing you're presenting.

Paid to engage is a reference to the creator revenue sharing that encourages mass-appeal and ragebait content. X is not a meritocracy of ideas, either.

You can structure your context window to minimize the amount of editing you do further back. You usually only need to edit and correct the most recent response. It's little different from forking the conversation at an earlier point, a

Local models benefit disproportionately from this kind of pruning and have no such footgun.

It's not positive or negative infinity. It is simply undefined. Math has many conventions, and you can define your own convention that it does equal some flavor of infinity, but that is only a convention, and not a universal one.

I think a single monolithic mascot for all AI has even worse chances than a Clippy ripoff. People will be as cold towards it as ever, and companies won't want to contaminate their image with something that isn't theirs and that

A few have been attempted. Mostly by Microsoft and subsidiaries, from GitHub to Mojang. None have caught on. Closest is GitHub's logo which is getting increasingly animated. But dedicated mascots a la Microsoft's Mico have gone ab

Even modern frontier models benefit so hugely from careful context pruning, maintenance, and rewriting to erase mistakes that it's astonishing to me that there are no tools centered around it. The one tool that used to have such a feat

Let us also not think that management is any smarter than any of us and is playing 5D chess games we couldn't comprehend. Notably, games that they also could not articulate when they were making these decisions.

Did they see productivity gains that they're now calibrating for? Why have these productivity gains not been reflected externally in any measurable way?

Man, if there was anyone that could weather the storm with their thick memory margins (at least on upgrades), it should have been Apple.

I'm quite perplexed by this comment. If I'm understanding you correctly, sure, what you describe is possible through significantly more effort, orchestration, and source photos. Or we can grab one still image and throw an inpainti

This does not appear creatively useful beyond mass producing ridiculous content. The examples on the page are typical of slop that either says nothing in the hopes of appearing mysterious rather than hollow, or grotesquely overexaggerated a

If such people exist, they are far, far fewer in numbers than they were in the past. I also don't accept that nothing can be done about this situation. Inevitability and helplessness are beloved tools of AI hypesters (and others) but t

What about the large contingent of resident wet rags? Can we still shit on the CEOs for not seeing through the BS and guiding their companies effectively?

"X but for Y" has been around for a good long time, it long predates (and I would say is significantly distinct from) "not X, but Y"

Agreed that it's exaggeration. Adblockers are possible, they're just severely kneecapped. It will still remove most ads, but it opens the door for more ads that can't be blocked by the present means. Ad providers and blockers

They do not. They operate at a reduced level of functionality that does not match previous capabilities. uBlock Origin would never have a separate Lite version if that was not the case. Nobody would care about a new version of the WebExtens

An expansion rather than just a contradiction would be welcome. In what way is it not true?

JavaScript really isn't that slow. JIT compilation can wind up faster than AOT compilation. And much of the APIs called by JavaScript is natively-implemented browser code. JavaScript is faster than C# yet people implement games in C# (
