Some reason this kind of argument always by default assumes the US will be the good guys.

Hoping everyone chooses to do the right thing is not an effective strategy for mitigating bad things.

This assumes that children's learning is solely about correctness and obtaining information. There is a whole universe of other considerations, like interacting with other people, with adults, with fallible authority figures. Having a

Is it actually that hard to make good models or is it just about the amount of resources you have to do training? (This is an actual question, I really don't know.) I'm sure it's not trivial but does it really take world clas

Maybe a really lightweight fast LLM could moderate messages in realtime. Not sure how pricey that would get though.

I guess I don't understand which are the features Messenger has that Signal doesn't that requires a billion dollars a year to maintain.

But a messaging program like Signal is fairly similar in scope, but only has like a couple dozen of devs, compared to Messenger's thousands(?).

The truth is that if you get in early enough on a hype train and cash out in time, you will make money. That's enough of a rational basis to participate. The ostensible purpose of it all is basically irrelevant, except as a signal to p

It takes away from real human artists who do their part to slowly advance human culture. Music will not develop without human artists. Maybe for this moment in time AI can fulfill some people's musical desires, but it's not going

I think this article is agreeing with you. It's saying that it's not an "intelligence" failure in the traditional "military intelligence" sense of the word we expect, but rather it's an "intelligence&

The whole industry is about robots telling robots what to do, why wouldn't they have expected automation?

That's still making assumptions based on our human understanding of the cosmos. Our "laws of physics" could be a localized understanding in our region of space, and much, much, much more powerful entities could operate outsid

"Timescales that makes sense" may be a human reasoning but not necessarily the reasoning of inconceivably advanced timeless civilizations. Sure, that planet of fish may be harmless now, but what about in a quick three billion year

What "content of character" do you ascribe to a web scraper?

I guess a good way to preview things would go a long way. Merging might be unrealistic to generalize, but being able to diff on images, game engine prefabs, audio, etc would help deciding which one to use.

My issue with git is handling non-text files, which is a common issue with game development. git-lfs is okay but it has some tricky quirks, and you end up with lots of bloat, and you can't merge. I don't really have an answer to h

But that's not what AGI is. Restructuring data the way they do is very impressive but it's fundamentally different from novel creativity.

As long as it's within the law? What if they politically control the law-making system? What if they've shown themselves to operate brazenly outside the law?

It's not because of one incident. And the fascist part of these incidents isn't just the killing, it's the official response to it. They immediately claim the victims are terrorists and assassins and suppress investigation of

Are we supposed to be treating LLMs like sentient beings with their own identity and rights? I must've missed this civilization altering milestone.

by lifeformed 7mo ago
You were anthropomorphizing software and assuming others are doing the same. If we are at the point where we are seriously taking a computer program's identity and rights into question, then that is a much bigger issue than a particula

Tedium in art is full of micro decisions. The sum of these decisions makes a subtle but big impact in the result. Skipping these means less expression.

You can say whatever you want, but pretentious sneering is annoying, don't be surprised if people push back.
