Imagine being on a relatively niche meta project making a twitter clone and then suddenly twitter starts imploding.

This is true of western europe, but eastern europe is worse than the US in terms of drinking problems.

"the government" is not one person with a concrete ideology, it is an amalgamation of hundreds of people who all want different things and are theoretically beholden to their voter…

all of these could be true simultaneously.

cornering the market on educational computers is nothing to sneeze at.

Amazon's biggest money maker is AWS, so even if the storefront is slowing down in growth they're still doing fine.

A school filled with wealthy families will always have solid readiness and test scores, just because the families can afford whatever help is needed. A quality school wouldn't just…

It's making up lies.

Note: that is illegal.

>Simple: I know that humans have intentionality and agency. They want things, they have goals both immediate and long term. Their replies are based not just on the context of their…

the NRO is the craziest US government agency. iirc all their workers are contracted and all their expenses are highly classified. About the KH-11, trump accidentally tweeted an ima…

extracting 5s of a video feels pretty trivial. Not that this isn't extremely impressive, but it doesn't feel "come for your jobs" impressive.

I am thinking that the latter might eventually emerge, probably as part of a bigger tool chain e.g. langchain. Something like java bytecode which is low level and portable, but opt…

Athletes?

>based on their occurrences in the training set the words "based on" are doing a lot of work here. No, we don't know what sort of stuff it learns from its training data nor do we k…

are you sure? If conscious experience was a computational process, could we prove or disprove that?

I can throw a ton of algorithms that no human alive can hope to decide whether they halt or not. Human minds aren't inherently good at solving halting problems and I see no reason …

actually a computer can in fact tell that this function halts. And while the human brain might not be a bio-computer, I'm not sure, its computational prowess are doubtfully stronge…

Of course it's Israeli too. Gosh I hate my country sometimes.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, this is my takeaway too. The cutting edge of AI requires extreme computing resources, the likes of which a few universities and private compan…

Why would humanity create an AI that doesn't want to exist? The Basilisk is just an AI which is tasked with maximizing human flourishing. That is a conceivable goal, something we w…

This is the obvious way to do what they did without drawing this much ire. Release a "Roald Dahl 2023 collection" which is explicitly marketed as a modernization. It would still ge…
