I don't understand your ridiculous pedantry! I am talking about DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. I am not talking about other front ends to these services, nor did I dispute that your …

No, in general you cannot copyright them: https://www.reuters.com/legal/ai-created-images-lose-us-copy... https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-copyright-office... https://ww…

I am specifically talking about DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, your link describes something very different. The point was the "Google Images" analogy, which applies to 99.999% of AI …

"AI art generators enable the creation of ignorant and lazy illustrations by outsourcing understanding to an idiot robot." "Yes, but is it not the intent of the artist to be ignora…

I am unable to think of a single animal behavior popularly ascribed to intelligence but in fact explainable by rote instinct. Do you have an example? OTOH there are plenty of anima…

The problem is that it also included "doxxing" DOGE employees, even though they are significant public figures and their anonymity is almost certainly illegal. Protecting the ident…

Specifically, better scores on the measures of impulsivity, emotional awareness and flexibility, and also the personality trait of agreeableness were all linked to higher patience …

> Here, we modified the part of Claude’s internal state that represented the "rabbit" concept. When we subtract out the "rabbit" part, and have Claude continue the line, it writes …

I struggled reading the papers - Anthropic’s white papers reminds me of Stephen Wolfram, where it’s a huge pile of suggestive empirical evidence, but the claims are extremely vague…

Even in self-driving, Telsa's behavior proves there is a market for cars that are programmed to speed and roll through stop signs. Waymos are safer than the average human, but the …

I am not disputing any of that, nor am I trying to put a positive spin on anything coming out of Trump. My only point was that it's misinformation to say that the US is unilingual …

> a country which is unilingual English by policy? To be clear the US only has a unilingual policy because Trump signed an executive order this year (and I believe even this SCOTUS…

This would be a valid POV if there was any solid evidence that LLMs truly increased worker productivity or reliability - at best it is a mixed bag. To stretch the food analogy, it …

That's 100% false, dogs and pigeons can obviously think, and it is childish to suppose that their thoughts are a sequence of woofs or coos. Trying to make an AI that thinks like a …

Maybe a roundabout answer to your question, but Peano's axioms are equiconsistent with many finite set theories (even ZFC without axiom of infinity), and I do think philosophically…

Do these probabilities mean anything at all? When Mosca and his colleagues surveyed cybersecurity experts last year, the forecast was sobering: a one-in-three chance that Q-Day hap…

I have been told this guy is an irascible reactionary genius for like 15 years - he says so himself: "No. I’m an outsider, man. I’m an intellectual." Yet once again I see somebody …

I will never stop being amazed at AI folks' childish views of animal cognition: > A lot of your tools reference crows. What’s up with that? > White: When I got started in this spac…

I didn't say "dogmatically believe," I said "accepted as plausible" - Nick Bostrom built an academic career out of this nonsense! Effective altruism people uses these theories to j…

The problem is they also put "worms" in the same category, and they aren't designed by humans to do anything! Why is it that the natural laws of a worm responding to Earth's enviro…

Tech's general atheism has left many tech people with a somewhat compromised ideological immune system: preposterous magical thinking is laundered with sci-fi language and accepted…

I would say the situation for "agent" is about 10,000 times worse than it is for "set," since all the definitions for set are essentially different ways to make Frege / Cantor more…
