He was petarded quite hoistily.

Pelicans, maybe, but the point is to measure how good the "internal visualization" abilities are. Throw curveballs, like a unicorn with a duck bill serving coffee at a basketball c…

The anti-Musk stuff would qualify as brigading in nearly any other community. It shocks me that people have such a visceral, irrational engagement with anything in Musk's orbit. I …

The potential conversational dynamics of people telling each other "quiet!" after they pick up the habit from talking with AI will be interesting. It could lead to people being mor…

The thing they have zero tolerance for is the embarrassment, not the corruption, pollution, crime, or other abuse. You can do whatever you can get away with so long as you don't ca…

In principle - if you're able to scale appropriately, using technology to augment capacity, then in principle, there's no abstraction for which we lack the capacity to comprehend, …

This is a serious misconception of human cognitive abilities. We have the ability to abstract generally - there is no abstraction for which we lack the capacity to comprehend. We r…

They have other, arguably more important, yaks to shave.

I mean, if they're dumb enough to try to game the system blatantly - and there are plenty of execs that are - they're dumb enough to write down their super secret criminal collusio…

Why wouldn't they? There are probbaly significant downsides if they fail an audit requirement, and they're probably mandated to retain records for some period, with no consequences…

We're in the Model A and Model T era of AI; everything's going to be clunky and have obvious defects when we look back 20 years from now, with our sleek sports cars and mustangs an…

At one of the top tier 1 ISPs in the world, there was a bastion host that allowed 2 teams of network engineers unfettered access to everything; once your permissions allowed you ac…

As of now, you can tell the difference for most AI generated music. There's some where you cannot. There is no Turing Test for taste, and the specific constellation of features tha…

That deserves some pushback. It's commonly, and more frequently, the case that information is available online; people streaming on the ground right where you want video. It's poss…

It's like some random lottery winner criticizing Apple - there's no special insight or perspective there. He is a fundamentally uninteresting, and pridefully smug person.

In the sense that you can get similarity scores for individual characters referenced against a known database of characters written by various individuals. You can get stylometry s…

I don't think you're honestly accounting for the engineering behind the progress models are making. If it was just a matter of compute on hand and iterating, Meta would be neck and…

Sometimes you might sit and stare at the same text, grappling with it in silence. For technical problems, I find the act of writing out a request for help, even just into a text ed…

All money is meme driven. Money is fundamentally a meme itself. Seeing lots of people who seem to be making some sort of implicit distinction between bitcoin and USD and so on, but…

There are all sorts of tell-tales, but the last paragraph is the most overt. I'd grant that it could be a mix, but at the very least it's heavily AI rewritten. The whole thing has …

I've heard of people around my parts sneaking around at night with black masks, taking baseball bats to specific headlights on trucks late at night. Apocryphal or no, stories like …

They plan pretty deeply - if you think about things like plastic lid snowboarding, or cup sorting games (fit the smaller cups inside the larger) and those types of puzzles, there's…
