Although both continents are presently losing themselves to fascism, quantity still has a quality all its own.

Vice Media is in economic collapse so I wouldn't be surprised.

> Pretty obvious it was trained in copyrighted material and just vaguely recycling it back. You can just say "screenwriter" and yes this is a valid job. Not anyone's fault the kids want to hear the same story every night

Not what I was actually pointing to, but thanks; I'll pass the critique along to my old MA thesis advisor. ;)

I never expected a machine to be better at articulating complex thoughts with a spare number of semantic coordinates, but then I never expected to find out that my poetry was golfing in the latent space

Discovering that poetry was cognitive compression is alone one of the latent findings LLMs unlocked. You can so easily imagine this shit being read in a 90s slam poetry coffeehouse. Trust me I was there

It can imagine what yourself report that you cannot :)

Sort of. The referendum is unpopular and is non-binding, actually a question about whether to have a referendum. Its widely seen as a political maneuver by AB to extract pipeline concessions.

I can't get anyone outside of SV to take AI threats seriously. Even the HF attack seems to glaze the eyes. It's all just too sci-fi feeling. I just end up flapping my little arms and squawking. Besides, biologists are usually acut

Well, Ziz did happen, although I think you mean the other AI psychosis

You're conveniently ignoring the coordination problem. You'd have to take them all out more or less contemporaneously, and if climate change is anything to go by, good luck getting coordinated global action to avert a profitable r

The article seemed to fold in on itself; we aren't to worry because, ah, it turns out that taste was the most important thing in math all along (!?), and not ability or skill or outcome. Welcome to the humanities, I guess? Clicking ar

Satisfying to see Aaronson, who is usually downplaying some claimed advance, correctly panicking. It makes me feel better about my own. For there is always a time to panic, no matter how exhausting the requirement might seem. And that tim

The sensibilism in this piece is unhinged. This is the sort of position you gravitate to if you read the Economist uncritically and routinely view policy questions as technical matters; a dogged refusal to appreciate any situation, substitu

That was never the claim, firstly, so successful straw man there, and secondly, even if it was, would it really be that shocking? Population bottlenecks have happened for less. All habitat eventually shrinks. All species go extinct. By the

Agreement will be much easier with only a handful of survivors. Good news

Hopelessness is a technicality, like absolute darkness. It's still very, very dark, and you are not arguing in good faith if you keep somehow treating this as a successful consolation

Yes, that's an annoying predicament, but we come by it honestly. Limits of scientific method in the face of exponential takeoff, IMO, and kind of proves the opposite result (RSI appears to be here)

Ah yes, everyone knows that an AI that plugs itself in is impossible via like the CAP theorem or something
