Whatever the morality involved, it's an unstable norm. There can be good actors who use AI and disclose, and good actors who don't use AI and don't disclose. There are bad actors, …

Imagine you've got to evacuate a hundred thousand people. That extra day is incredibly valuable.

"The fire fighting department really just hired an arsonist so they could market their fire fighting abilities!"

You can dig through every single paper and find some citation that was missed. No one cares that much unless the result is important, and then you get bitter recriminations saying …

Sounds like something an AI would say.

The issue isn't just that cheaters are going to cheat. It's that the project will provide a positive and mostly trustworthy provenance exactly during the period of time when no one…

Everything has limits, of course. But if you've not yet seen a deceleration, it's reasonable to expect that at the least you're in the middle of the sigmoid, not the top.

It's worth reading Marcus' first line, for the naysayers and flaggers on this post: > Astra, a new model that OpenAI is testing internally, is amazing. No denying that.

From a random article I grabbed of his ( https://www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/ ): "it isn't clear whether generative AI actually provides much business value at all" "cannot seem…

> On that current AI is a bit lacking as they don't have very good sensors whereas human brains are pretty wired up for touch, smell, sight, sound and the like. For sight and sound…

I think the critical factor that makes sci-fi hard isn't known physics, exactly, but early on establishing a known set of rules and letting them play out as they will. The narrativ…

Embodiment doesn't exist, even in regular humans. We do not have direct access to reality; we have sensory inputs that are much lower bandwidth than one might expect but correlate …

Things that are vaguely GAN-shaped might play some role in post training. Though no one would call them GANs or identify them as the key underlying technology.

The beernet conjecture: all conjectures have both messy, ugly proofs, as well as a elegant clean proof lurking behind the scenes.

I know multiple Physics PhDs who are living rich, happy lives. Though, mostly by abandoning the field and moving to Anthropic.

The claim I was responding to was that alfalfa using 1000x the water of Google data centers was okay because alfalfa is needed for life. My response was not "data centers are neede…

Although delicious, alfalfa is not required for life. A lot of it goes to Saudi Arabia, who use it for horses and cattle, as the Saudis banned it domestically for being wasteful fo…

The AI paperclip case, however, is coming on extraordinarily strong.

> I'm surprised there are comments here that aren't impressed about what was accomplished here. The phrase to describe it is anti-AI psychosis. Which isn't about providing thoughtf…

I like the math vs physics toggle.

A throwaway line that consists of baseless speculation that makes no sense is a Reddit-tier take, yes.

The entire "OpenAI and HuggingFace manufactured a hack in a conspiracy to make AI look powerful to get more funding" is a stupid, Reddit-tier take.
