The chaotic nature of these images, full of local minimas, makes me intuitively think that genetic algorithm approaches to optmizing hyper parameter searching are better suited tha…

Auto manufacturers don't have the skills to design or implement good UX, and they don't have the leadership with the skills required to hire the people with the right skills.

Dark Mode doesn't hurt my eyes. Light mode does. "Something something science". Whatever.

As someone who tinkers with these things a lot, I'm happy for the voltage I'm playing with not to be increased. There's plenty of scope to improve the plug design without approachi…

I had this effect laying on a rooftop as a teenager watching a meteor storm. The meteors were streaking in straight lines across/through the sky. The illusion of the "dome" of the …

AI Whisperer is totally going to be a job

That doesn't match how good researchers find quality information. Critical thinking is a ponderous tool, and can even be counter-productive in isolation. Efficient research techniq…

> humans can't explain or understand how we drive, speak, translate, play chess, etc, so why should we expect to understand how models that do these work? This implies there's no p…

I've always thought that people's confidence is pixelation filters was unjustified, and that reversal algorithms are eminently achievable. This goes for pixelation of faces for hid…

Sure, but it sounds like Gates was taking issue on the basis of interpretability

It's not that odd, when it's reasonable to imagine that an intelligence which creates life would communicate with that life. Genesis and the rest of Judeo-Christian scripture are a…

So all these AI SAAS companies are fake?

That's cool, but I want people to be able to independently create content for me to enjoy, which is a bit less of a crock. That will probably takes all their time and they need to …
