Julia is basically this, i.e. compiled typed python. The nesting for type declarations gets gnarly though, which answers your general question - the really nice language ergonomics…

I mean just from the above quote it’s clear he doesn’t trust them for “mission-critical” tasks. And I doubt LLms have evolved significantly from their stochastic parrot nature over…

Accessibility, saving time, personal preference. Any number of reasonable things that don’t put undue stress on the host

You’re conflating being ghosted with ghost jobs, which are positions that are posted but are never intended to be filled (usually cited as for data collection purposes). These wast…

I love how the basic expectation of having a job and the life altering circumstance of not having one factors into this not even a little bit

This is what bugs me about the whole AI fanaticism thing coming from the top down, because what evidence is there that the AI labs aren’t going to try and eat everyone’s lunch afte…

Jesus the terminology is so fucked… compare the contents of this blog post with any RL paper containing the words “long term planning”…

It all makes sense when you realize QAnon basically runs the white house now. There’s a very insulated type of American who lives in their own world, that unfortunately lots of vot…

It’s a band aid solution because the model can get stuck in a refutation loop, where it argues a point by pulling up a contradicting source ad infinitum. The holy grail, which has …

All of these advanced death machines need equally advanced supply lines and staging grounds, both of which would run through civilian populations. Look at Afghanistan as an example…

The attitudes aren’t 1-1 comparable. China is on a winning streak in terms of socioeconomic development, and AI is likely seen as merely a new technology in the context of the soci…

I doubt we’d build anything IRL without understanding how it works first. And we’re pretty good at putting 2+2 together once we have the pieces, for a lot of these things we don’t …

So what, we shouldn’t even try? What is the point of this argument?

Financial incentives

It’s also a set of credentials, which might be immediately useful for one reason or other. All those other things you can do outside of a program, especially if you’ve already got …

> it suffered in the face of competition from cheaper, online brands such as Shein and Temu And, you know. Being laid off seems part of the culture nowdays

OP says there are two futures, digital prostitution or slavery. If we truly believe that it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the other hand we could have Star Trek.

I find the insinuation that mental illness is a fundamental part of the human experience to be deeply revolting. There is no excuse for hoarders and rapists.

We could also literally have Star Trek. Think of all the scientific discoveries we could make if we had armies of scientists the size of our labor force. But we will have to (painf…

This viewpoint is basically that there is no international community at all, and that’s a broader argument

You confuse nation state and people in this question. Yes the international community has an obligation to prevent genocide, and the destruction of a nation state if that coincides…

Nation states generally do not have rights.

Solutions to more actual problems are more expensive. It’s easier to ask millions of people for $0.01 than it is to ask thousands for $100. Things that are easy to sell to millions…
