    I think the biggest thing that people refuse to accept is that the optimal number of accidental deaths is non zero And this carries on for all the other sources of injury and other…

    I'll add an expansion here. It's more useful to you locally, as you have excess compute that's generally wasted. If you're serving multiple user and trying to max output, you might…

    I do think that this is natural. When you use LLM coding tools, you're becoming a lot more like an architect/staff/manager, rather than the direct coder. You're setting out the spe…

    My impression is that, seeing the rising AI use rates everywhere, that you are in a bubble. Could be me too, but seeing China's general societal infatuation with AI outpace the US …

    Sure, then they can go demand said standards for social media platforms including expected amount per N post, just as car companies are not expected to have car fatality rates be 0…

    We're talking about CSAM right? Which all platforms remove proactively, build models to remove and essentially always respond to when informed. Demanding some perfect immediate mag…

    If car manufacturers cannot bring car related deaths to zero, they too should no longer be legitimate companies.

    For a community full of engineers, I'm always surprised that people always take absolutionist views on minor technical decisions, rather than thinking of the tradeoffs made that go…

    Not the OP, but my interpretation here is that if you model the replies as some point in a vector space, assuming points from a given domain cluster close to each other, replies th…

    I think what my ideal is basically DnD, but with an AI DM. This is something that I'm hoping the current LLM and future AI work eventually get us to. If we can get persistent conte…

    I'd say that the internet has also strongly lowered the barriers to external propaganda and influence, which is another major factor here. When you've got a huge swarm of "people" …

    You mean like the countless western "safety", copyright and "PC" changes that've come through? I'm no fan of the CCP, but it's not as though the US isn't hamstringing it's own AI t…

    Just a note, chatGPT does retain a persistent memory of conversations. In the settings menu, there's a section that allows you to tweak/clear this persistent memory

    I don't really think Nintendo is particularly concerned about Casette Beasts. And BF6 using it for their map builder is IMO a bit of a stretch. Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommanda…

    I deliberately chose the FDA here specifically because of this. The problem here is that on a societal level, we have to be willing to tolerate some risk. If a drug could have save…

    Feels like this is the fundamental flaw with a lot of things not just in the private sector, but the public one too. Look at the FDA, where it's notoriously bogged down in red tape…

    I think you're going to realize that as time passes and this becomes more normalized, your opinion is going to become the minority. That might be a good thing, or maybe not.

    Sure, it's been done before, but looking at the end result though, I'm not sure if that's a strong argument for whether it should be done again. Look at the end state of the US aut…

    The big difference is that chess is a game/sport, and those are about competition between humans. It's a deliberately restricted ruleset to encourage such, thus the (imperfect) ban…

    For the people that make them, they're largely making them for money.

    I think you, and a lot of other people really overestimate the number of people for whom the technical challenge is why they cheat. Seeing that the cheating industry is relatively …

    Conversely, everything involving Musk also gets spammed by his hatedom.

    Except famously Japan, even Tokyo, where housing costs have consistently stayed low.

    While from a materials standpoint, its more of a "what fits the needs", from a printing point of view it's definitely a level up going from PLA to PETG / ABS. Both in terms of skil…

    It's probably expected that the cost goes down with time. Also, what VC money? Copilot is Microsoft.
