CEO's exist as a sink for liability. When something goes wrong, they are the fall guys, that's ultimately their job. That's why CEO compensation is generally correlated strongly to earnings and they usually have golden parach

If you want something that displaces adenosine from your neurons you are in luck, because it already exists and is very easy to get; It's called methamphetamine

You're overthinking it. LLM's are massive scale regressors. Rhetorical techniques, cliches and memes (in the original Dawkins definition) spike the dataset and skew the data such that certain phrasings or rhetorical techniques wil

There is already a mathematically secure algorithm for securing a message: One Time Pad. The problem is that OTP requires that the length of the key and the length of message must be the same, which is inconvenient for large amounts of data

an LLM would likely just converge on something like a shared prime GCD attack; basically finding private keys somewhere in their training set and then hoping that whatever keygen algo was setup incorrectly and used a shared seed.

You can create art with everything from sticks and mud to glass and air. Of course you can make art with AI. Now if the question is, can a machine make art, well ultimately someone needed to turn the machine on and design the machine to mak

I'm not saying you can't compare them, I'm saying it's pointless. LLM's are extremely large scale multivariate regression machines, evaluating it's output within it's own training domain is as pointless as

In that scenario, AI would have to be a public utility, which it is not. Private corporations have no intention to provide services for public good. If they displace a billion jobs, they'll just throw up their hands and go "we&#x2

Man, this comment made me think of a Kafkaesque future where two AI lawyers and an AI Judge are stuck in an infinite loop arguing over a case, meanwhile the defendant is running around trying to get anyone in the legal system to recognize t

More than that, the entire structure of the study is pointless. They set up as a question/response and then had humans rate the response. That's literally what LLM's are trained to do, which ultimately is convincing a human

The thing is, LLM's produce better quality one-shots than any of the products that get returned from overseas ultra-budget contractors in India or SEA. I don't know what that means for Western devs, but I can tell you that the for

Interestingly that sort of research is actually what I've used Claude/Chatgpt deep research and openclaw for. If I have an idea, I get an agent to go and do some product research for me and see if there is a market, if anyone has

Why are you wondering? Any law that limits the ability of capital owners to extract wealth will be overturned, and not just from AI, that's global in every industry everywhere there are humans.

It's not any different from the launch of the FSF. There's a simple solution. If you don't want your lunch eaten by a private equity firm, make sure whatever tool you use is GPL licensed.

You buy them from a supplier. but to answer your question honestly the supplier keeps stock of them by growing them and storing them. The original cells came from donations. You could always extract some cells from a biopsy as well, but the

It's hardly a subset. Most devs that use it have no idea how it works under the hood. If a large portion of them did, then maybe they'd cut out the "It REALLY IS THINKING!!!" posting

Up until last week I was running a 960 on mint and had absolutely no problems, nor did I even have to think about drivers. I also have a server running Tesla M10s and they're great too, little more fiddly getting the right driver, but
