Please link some of the mathematical research which concludes takeover of Earth’s resources by a superintelligent agent is “very likely.”

This is a very token-brained take. The length of a work has no bearing whatsoever on its comprehensibility.

I truly don't get why people have so much reverence for Pluto. And, unlike something like "fruit," which has a botanical and culinary definition which serve different purposes, I really don't get why anyone would care ab

As a second factor of authentication, a one-time passcode is supposed to be “something you have,” which is still satisfied when stored in a password manager. It no longer serves as a preventative in the event your password manager is comp

They can provide text which contains thoughts, reasoning, and empathy, but is that evidence of them having thoughts, reasoning, or empathy? To paraphrase the Chinese room argument: Put me in a room with infinite time, paper, pencils, fil

> The law is currently forcing these companies to destroy the books after scanning them. No, the law is stopping them from digitally sharing their scans. They are perfectly capable of reselling or donating or storing the books they buy.

Sorry, is your stance seriously that authors and publishers should digitize and freely distribute their work, at their own expense? Also, who’s forcing AI companies to “ingest” books in such a destructive way? Also also, if there’s one thin

I find it very interesting that, from what I understand, the LLM use isn’t actually what’s at issue. It’s really just that he worked backwards, beginning with a conclusion and attempting to find evidence towards that end. The LLM chat logs

It's not the most elegant thing ever, but I've been using (self-hosted) WoodpeckerCI and it's been dead simple. It doesn't have many bells and whistles, but honestly I think that's good. Forced me to put complex beh

Am I crazy to think this title is just incorrect? They say AI reports are welcome, not fixes.

I don't think the "would not exist if I hadn't created it" argument really works. If I delegate a project to someone else, and they do the project, does that mean I did it? In my mind, I could comfortably say I managed

Hot tip: if you disable JS on the site, then nothing but the title loads and you can disregard it without wasting all those CPU cycles.

Does that change anything? We're still relying on OpenAI's account of where the LLM was running, what sandboxing restrictions were in place, the task it was given, etc. Even assuming they're telling the truth about what this

I mean yes, you never “owned” the IP, but this doesn’t change anything. You also never owned any movie on a DVD, song on a vinyl, or text in a book. Software is a strange beast in the world of copyright law, but, at least in my lay understa

Maybe not in the millions, but Meta is certainly not free from bloodshed. For example, in efforts to promote "engagement," they left the rollout of Facebook in Myanmar dangerously unmoderated, and (at least according to claims by

First, I agree it's cool that Atari, with all its ability to completely screw small projects over, didn't do that in this case. But, at the same time, I find it interesting that "emulations and clones" are considered ent

I can kinda see your point, especially if the meaning is still obvious and the tone is inviting you to participate, but I think you're misunderstanding what "privilege" means here. It isn't a superior "flexing their

Other way around. To quote the article: > To conduct the literature review, the sugar industry paid the Harvard scientists the equivalent of $50,000 in 2016 dollars [...] So it was actually about ~$5,000 in 1965 dollars.

This is honestly very disappointing. Not using LLMs, but the complete lack of transparency about their usage. You can already see in the repository issues related to hallucinations[^1]. This is _fine_, but not if you seem to obscure the fac
