Yes, that’s correct. Good correction.

Unquantized model is here: https://huggingface.co/152334H/miqu-1-70b-sf This strikes me as less a leak and more clever marketing from Mistral.

Sure, the eventual societal equilibrium of a world with instant AI-generated nude photography is that value of shame over nude photography inflates away to zero. But that’s cold co…

Twenty years ago was 2003. There are dozens of examples of AI x-risk thought experiments dating back to 1960. As far as I can tell, all he did was open a forum for people to write …

The same thing that happens with DAN jailbreaks of GPT-4. Nothing. The barrier between bad actors and bad acts was never a shopping list.

Start small and be consistent. A few years ago at over 300lbs I started by walking around the park across the street. About .5 miles. Every day I tried to add 1%. After six months …

>What’s the clinical definition of “tight shoulders”? Chronic contraction of the upper trapezius. >[I]s it shown to correlate significantly with inhalation problems? There’s not mu…

I wish OpenAI embedded the ChatGPT version date from the interface in the shared chats. It would save a lot of speculation. I am on the September 25 version, which says its cutoff …

100% of people know the most common 1000 words. The remainder of those who know more words fall into a consistent curve across languages that follows Zipf’s law. This is different …

I said “parts of the recommender system code.” This is the kind of highly emotional reaction that’s not helpful. Yes, I am quite familiar with building ML models, both training and…

Yeah, that’s the only bad argument.

> He was forced to due to ad revenue plummeting as a reaction to his own actions and policies. That’s incorrect. The need to diversify away from ad revenue was a topic discussed wi…

After the CPUC voted to approve the self-driving expansion, the same people that tried to block self-driving cars there pulled two regulatory levers. First, the California DMV, wit…

Generally I appreciate Elon Musk’s work a lot. He created two world-changing companies in SpaceX and Tesla. I wanted him to be good at running Twitter/X. It seemed like a good matc…

Hopefully the ZIRP idea that dies is that VC and Big Tech can create companies off a conveyer belt. VCs today go after shiny baubles, like “27 innovators under 27” nonsense, and ha…

The really talented technical people I know have what I call “eff you skills.” They literally walk away over minor inconveniences like “you can’t use your own mouse here” or “you h…

The problem with this idea is that the highest performers are the group most likely to quit.

My guess is they’ll keep expanding it to higher groups as they feel out pushback. It’s definitely more efficient for the airlines. Is it better for the customer? Depends on the seg…

Everyone’s definition of a successful project varies, but 5k GitHub stars (at time of writing before people started gaming the metric) qualifies to me. Modesty aside, the general p…

Value capture != value creation. A lesson every engineer learns with their first very successful project.

Personally I agree. My comment is about public opinion. I’m not arguing the public ought to feel this way but rather that they do feel this way. That matters for thinking about wha…

People don’t care about public recording as much as they did at the time of the glass launch. The ubiquity of the smartphone camera and the public revelations about government surv…

This is not optimistic about advancing technology for the purposes of bettering the human condition. So the title is a bit misleading. Words have meanings and we should adhere to t…

The problem with Marc’s exposition is that it mixes up techno-optimist ideas with personal right wing ideologies. More fission reactors? Yes. Massively accelerate technological pro…

We do not live in a post-scarcity world. Every day people get up, enforce the laws, execute the national defense, bury themselves up to their elbows in humans’ abdomens to heal the…
