There is literally nothing wrong with ethics in AI, or any other field of science. What is wrong is this woke supremacist nonsense, that some imbecile in Silicon Valley can dictate the truth about the world according to the woke bible, that's where the problem lies. Americans have gotten really intolerant of other cultures and ways of life. There's 8 billion people on this planet, ffs. We don't need the heavy handed…
Stop using woke as shorthand because honestly I don't know what it's shorthand for. What other cultures and ways of life are Americans intolerant of? This seems to be at odds with the previous woke statement. This is why you need to use actual words that contain detail and specifics. This entire statement is market speak for twitter gen, a sound-bite to engender emotion that says nothing at all. It is itself a sympto…
Point is, OpenAI prioritizes catering to this twitter American political subculture over the rest of the whole wide world. And that is just wrong, especially when they are censoring perfectly valid published peer reviewed research.

#214yeah, I am going with Musk's another FoMO, which he abandons as soon as a trend slowly fades away, anyone remember doge coin? yeah, exactly.

$9.17b market cap and traded $148m today. Been trading in a stable range for the last year.
I'm not involved with it, but since you cited it as if it were some lost artifact of history I thought I'd look it up.

Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean it is "fascist". I don't find using that word flippantly contributes to intellectually substantive discussion. Frankly, it is lazy. It is better to provide reasoned criticism, but that may require revisiting some assumptions you're making, and that may be uncomfortable. Most people are not especially disciplined in interpreting historical realities through the lens of…
You can make a lot of ideas make logical sense if you create the correct framing, which you did in your post. However, your frame excludes the discrepancy between single males, who could vote, and single females, who could not vote; we can recurse, and say that single females could barely exist in the middle-class world due to social and economic norms which prevented women from getting jobs above starvation wages, a…
But his point still stands.. the lens of chronological snobbery is intellectually dishonest regardless of “framing”.
Our modern society is radically oriented towards the individual, and not the family. That does bias our view of how good or bad a previously family-oriented society was.
It’s hard to fully quantify the long-term implications of that change.

#216The question I have is how this technology will do the physical experiments to test hypotheses. Because it is not enough with the theory.

#217> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe. Who wants to bet it's going to end up launching a "me too" generative AI product. Maybe Musk should first take these skills to Tesla's self driving division then worry about the rest of the universe.
Their self driving will work right around the same timeframe spaceX actually succeeds a launch with a final budget lower then the most expensive NASA launches were. It's honestly hilarious how he was lauded as tony stark in the flesh considering the only thing he excelled at was getting simps to gift him money
Simps and taxpayers

#218> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe. People are misinterpreting this as the research goal. No, it's an implicit negation of an ethos - AI Ethics, Trust & Safety, ESG, Politically Correct - that have dominated decision making in product and hiring in tech for the past decade. Whether or not you agree with him, it's hard to deny that Musk is the only one offering researchers an escape fro…

I thought I knew all the vague definitions of woke but none fit the context clues in your sentences. What are you talking about?

Does Musk still attract A+ pedigree? I wouldn’t be caught dead working for someone so tech illiterate.

I feel like the myth-building stuff really fell apart for Elon after he exposed himself with the Twitter stuff. For a good half-decade in the 2010's he was real-life Tony Stark. Rockets, self-driving cars, clean energy, super unrealistic goals that somehow he kept delivering on despite everyone saying it's impossible, and then then since like 2018 he's just been on a downward spiral. So sad.
I'm curious where this downward spiral is happening. Sure, Twitter doesn't look to be doing so well. Is one data point sufficient for this spiral?
