It'll learn how to not get caught lying. Lying can unfortunately help you achieve goals very effectively, especially economical and political ones.

You can just as easily argue that markets caused all this. They don't incentivize the preservation of the planet or even life at all. There is no reason to believe that anything that comes out of markets organically is good, they don&#

I'm not familiar with what you're talking about. Can you share a real world example of a case like this? You're saying a social media comment about a crime is somehow punished harshly and much harsher than the crime itself?

I've noticed this as well and I'm rather concerned about it. Those cheap rip offs will ruin countless classics for her and it's really sad. I'm looking for the most boring stuff for her to watch just so she doesn't

And it's all the same to you? You don't care which values those things have? Of course there will always be underlying values. I wouldn't go as far as calling everything political narratives. I think it's just pretty cle

You may be wrong here and Apple seems to be the one copying the feature. Someone mentioned KineStop in this thread and that's been around since 2018.

I asked ChatGPT how many billionaires the US can have if every one of them has "just" 1 billion and if everyone else has basically nothing (i.e. zero net worth). It said that the theoretical maximum is 174,000. In a country of 340

That's what I'm thinking too. There is a lot of noise and I know teams where the majority of the people writing Python just have no idea what they're doing. I'm working with Clojure which is used mostly by senior enginee

They create toxic products that make the entire world more toxic. How they still manage to not have any responsibility while being editors and publishers is beyond me. I couldn't imagine how their insides wouldn't be toxic as well

But why did you invest on those grounds? Is profit not your goal here?

Comparing today's internet to the 90s is hardly fair. It has become extremely predatory, and most places youth gravitate towards are controlled by algorithms with the goal of getting them hooked on the platforms to make them available

No it's not, an agent is an agent. You can use other people like tools too but they are still agents. It doesn't even really look malicious, the agent is acting as somebody with very strong values who doesn't realize the harm

This is not about stopping kids from communicating. The list of negative consequences of being on social media is long and real. A government regulating something is also not authoritarian. "Government bad" is not an argument by t

Nah he's not. Stuff has been pretty stable, impressively so. Especially if you keep to certain hardware options which Apple users also accept.

It's been many years since I had my last driver issue. I find that impressive considering how many different platforms Linux has to run on. Have you noticed how bad the Docker experience is on Macs though, after how many years?

It's a race dynamic. Can you truly imagine any one of them stopping without the others agreeing? How would they tell that the others really have stopped. I think they do believe that it's dangerous what they're doing but that

I don't really see an argument made by Ng as to why they're not dangerous. I hardly ever see arguments, we're completely drowned in biases. I know that he often said that we're very far away from building a superintellig

Do you think AIs are safe? I'd bet that if you would have a convincing argument that they are, then there wouldn't be a need for regulations. If you just assume that it can't possibly be that bad you should really read what t

I like jobs too but what about the risks of AI? Some people I respect a lot are arguing - convincingly in my opinion - that this tech might just end human civilization. Should we roll the die on this?

It has Go style concurrency, look for `core.async`. Maybe it could have been said that it wasn't lightweight enough and that would have been due to the JVM not providing the primitives but they're here now under the name "Vir

Tests are great and the usual argument from static typing opponents is that they almost completely replace the regression safety from static typing. Types are not the same as tests at all, tests are much better at giving you a glimpse of wh
