Think of it as an individual and instead of social property real property. If a person is stealing retail goods every day, no one asks "what should he do?" what he "should do" is f…

Remember when we thought the Turing test would be some mind blowing pinnacle of computer science? I do because I was in college in the early 2000's. We flew right by that and now w…

Maybe it's incoherent commands, or maybe it's guessing at what kind of names for commands the admins would use for custom scripts that they wrote, which could themselves bypass sec…

How do you hide the fact that they are honeypots from a super intelligence?

I'm so bored with the "are machines conscious" debate. The only thing it has proven is how desperately humans will continue to move the goalposts to the point of ontological collap…

The US government is the one who routinely spends trillions with no plans to recover money. And SpaceX has become their favorite place to put money over the last 5 years.

$8.7B in losses over the last 5 quarters sounds bad, but that is also with $20.4B capital expenditure in the period and double digit percent increases per quarter in user metrics. …

I'm gonna choose to believe they all involved AI in the design process and AI has a cheeky fetish for humiliating humans.

The decline you're talking about is roughly 168 to 145, or about 2.2% per year over 5 years. That's hardly a death sentence. More likely just the gradual adoption of higher level f…

Maybe I'm optimistic or not typical but in my experience people submit random PR to open source projects because they really want the project to do xyz for their own project/reason…

Here's an idea... How about we put constructive and intelligent people in charge instead of the most compelling narcissists. I have no doubt the waterfall of bad news could be good…

You also have to factor in that your connection can drop to 10% far more often because of connection pooling. Each of your neighbors has a gigabit of bandwidth to use too. Like in …

Nah literally crushing plates would feel so good. Worth the effort to melt it again every few sessions

In equally compelling results, my lawn mower does not cut grass to a uniformly random set of heights.

the argument that prediction models are sports betting is not much different than the argument that stocks are sports betting. Who's to say that capitalism isn't a competitive spor…

I would say his post has the tone of earnest discourse while yours devolves into ad hominem laden reflexive sensitivity. Which is the pathological take?

AI psychosis is real, but at worst is only premature. AI-denial psychosis is far more pervasive, and will bite far more people in the long run.

I doubt the amount of generators running constitute some sunstantial fossil fuel use, at least not more than 70,000 people sitting at home in air conditioning doing "nothing". I wo…

Trashing the planet is mainstream. Taking care of it is counterculture.

LLMs are a distillation of human.

They even banned the term "soy milk" It's now called "non dairy soy beverage" on every carton.

It is moral to throw your toddler into the pool so that later in life they are less likely to drown.

The engineering was done in the 70's and 80's. This rocket is built out of leftover shuttle hardware. The exploration in this mission was done 50 years ago. I fail to see how this …

They aren't a database company. They are a full spectrum B2B SaaS contract company. They make far more by up selling services than they do from databases total. Half of their stack…
