I would settle for it being aligned to anybody . Even to a billionaire's wacky values. But we don't even know how to do that yet.

Nuclear war would not kill us all. Bad ASI would pretend to be good until it could execute a plan to kill everyone all at once, or at least everyone capable of cutting the power. Superintelligent means smarter than everyone put together. If

if somebody feels purposeless, why not do something useful or productive or creative? Such as a "high iq activity" like reading or learning or volunteering or art.

You are misinformed. Chain of thought is essential. It's true it's programmed in, but for good reason. LLMs aren't strong enough to one-shot questions without "chewing on them". You can verify this yourself: ask a s

That is a predictable consequence of their decision to launch before the game was ready. The game as it is now may not deserve that kind of contempt, but it's the price they chose to pay forever at launch.

I imagine that, corpus aside, it uses personal pronouns for much the same reason that humans do. It's useful for it to have a self-referential vector embedding, and this lets it solve problems faster and more efficiently.

out of curiosity, how long would 2048-bit RSA take to factor?

> if humans are economically useless, the state does not need them. Why pay out UBI to people who have neither economic nor political power? Forgive me if I'm naïve. But wouldn't people just vote for UBI in this case?

For those with low IQ like me, there's video games, movies, piracy, parties, and hiking.

The thought experiment also assumed that the researchers inventing superintelligence would keep it airgapped. I think we now know that is a naïve assumption.

They should have scaled the probability curve by the derivative of log(time).

I hacked my old kindle from a decade ago, highly recommended to anyone who wants to unlock it. There are guides online.

The province Ontario was named after the lake, not vice versa. It's kind of absurd to rename this lake in particular just because it seems the least American-sounding.

Sadly this kind of thing is not possible anymore on modern consoles, due to the highly locked-down protocols they use.

this is true until you look at different trophic levels. Single-celled mirror life bacteria would be deadly to larger creatures.

My understanding of the watermark process is that it only kicks in when it's not the case that one particular token is overwhelmingly likely. In the case where many tokens are plausible, we already choose with PRNG -- the "waterma

The problem is that Remote Attestation allows apps to reliably detect running in an emulator. Otherwise, it's already possible with waydroid.

So, the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar[1] refers to what you'd get if you extended the current Gregorian Calendar back in time before its introduction. (It agrees with the Julian calendar only during the 3rd century AD.) Most date librar

It should be by default, rather than relying on the parent proactively.

I'd love to be able to specify containers on bookmarks. That's the biggest missing feature for me still.

Why would you think the advance is the problem? The problem is the low cut of sales if anything. The advance is exclusively beneficial.

I dislike passkeys because they support remote attestation. It's my key -- why does the website care what app I'm using to host it or if I'm allowed to copy it? Or what operating system I'm using, for that matter. Becaus
