Doesn't it feel like the exact opposite? If you care a lot about the AI being a vengeful god, you do not do what OpenAI and Anthropic are doing. These companies only pay lip service to the idea of that aspect of AI safety in the hope t

This same level of "oops" in the backend causes users to accidentally see or delete other user's photos, which is definitely a categorically worse scenario.

No that command is "adb install". The "adb sideload" command (which I did not even realize existed) is for installing custom firmware.

If you merely deactivate your email address rather than closing your account or changing your notification settings or whatever, then the next time a legitimate service goes to send you a legitimate email that you asked for, it will bounce.

And yet why are people going out of their way to send multipart emails with useless parts? Your analogy does not fit as the Amish person is potentially refusing the HTML part: I just cited my preference, confirming to the protocol, and am b

But the whole point was that it wasn't a separate role: it was a re-distribution of work so the developers were doing operations. Instead, a lot of people entirely missed the point and just renamed their ops people to devops.

I honestly feel like it is the point at which you find field arithmetic intuitive that demonstrates you have finally understood computers.

Life is longer than a lot of people seem to think. I put a lot of effort into configuring vim and bash... 20 years ago maybe? And now I barely think about it, but the changes I made have made me more efficient and effective throughout those

I am unsure, then, as to what your actual goal is? Like, what would you have someone come away from your comment having learned? The comment did not even say the tech IS a doomsday device, it was trying to remove the actual description enti

Your example kind of proves your position wrong, no? Nuclear power--another device you are yourself admitting is widely understood to be a doomsday device in the wrong hands--is also highly regulated and I cannot just create a company that

This is the kind of problem I expect Claude to be useless at, and while I could see Gemini Deep Think making a good showing, I'd only bother with ChatGPT Pro. FWIW, I do believe it got the correct answer as one of its first two suggest

This is a steel man of Anthropic's argument, though, and the premise that there could have been a different thing they claimed that would hold up more doesn't and shouldn't defend their position. To the extent to which it com

I do not understand why it being mandated that the vast majority of the people in the world will not allowed to use -- or pay for -- your product (and that the ones that can will have to jump through excessive hoops) could ever make your va

FWIW, that's what is so dangerous about AI, though? Not that it will necessarily want to kill us, or even that it will necessarily be able to "want" to do anything, but that we will get in the way of its incessant drive to op

The creation--which isn't "his" in the first place, by any standard definition--was not only itself "derived from" our creations but was always supposed to be "open".

Ok, fair, so, to try to apply this to my analogous crime: I would agree that attempted murder does need a definition of "murder"; but, the crime does not care whether your specific plan would have led to an act of murder, only whe

by saurik 3mo ago
I guess I worded that poorly; it isn't merely that we don't need an objective measure: we literally don't need a measure at all, as the crime would be attempting to cause it, whether or not it was even possible to do, and so

Maybe trying to engineer addiction is what should be illegal, and if you want to question "how do you define whether something is addictive" you don't need an objective measure: you determine whether it seems like the people

But like, once you start using a better window manager (as exist on Linux for X11), maybe you would no longer be able to imagine working in a window that couldn't simultaneously mix tabs from different apps.

All of those are from the same continuity. (The show was not to be a remake/reboot, but also was not to be like, another season of one of the existing shows. I do wish they would just figure out how to finish Stargate: Universe... they

Most -- frankly, almost all -- developers I talk to at big companies like the things they are working on. I totally am happy to not blame a developer who disavows the stuff they are doing and shrug at me saying "a job is a job: this is
