No, it has knowledge of what it is and how it is used. I'm guessing you and the other guy are taking issue with the words "aware of" when I'm just saying it has knowledge of these things. Awareness doesn't have to i

I didn't mean to imply that it was. But when you reply to it, if you just say "no" then it's aware that you could've just not responded, and that normally you would never respond to it unless you were asking for som

The whole idea of just sending "no" to an LLM without additional context is kind of silly. It's smart enough to know that if you just didn't want it to proceed, you would just not respond to it. The fact that you respond

Yes, because current unemployment comes as the result of complex factors that intersect with various groups and ideologies in complex ways. Also, raising employment is a complex task. When AI takes the jobs, it will be dead simple to the ma

Y'all gotta stop looking at politics this way. You know why they don't share the fruits of capital with us now? Because Americans hate getting taxed to pay for welfare, and so they've been voting against taxes for 50 years. T

Dario said this in a podcast somewhere. The models themselves have so far been profitable if you look at their lifetime costs and revenue. Annual profitability just isn't a very good lens for AI companies because costs all land in one

There are companies working on this, but my understanding is that the training data is more challenging to get because it involves reinforcement learning in physical space. In the forecast of the AI-2027 guys, robotics come after they'

Robotics will come in the next few years. If you believe the AI2027 guys, though, the majority of work will be automated in the next 10 years, which seems more and more plausible to me every day.

Most of that 9 billion was spent on training new models and on staff. If they stopped spending money on R&D, they would already be profitable.

I switched to Floorp last month and it's amazing. It's a Firefox fork with tab rows. Tab rows are the real MVP. None of the annoying weirdness of Tree Style Tabs, where you have to keep track of a hierarchy of tabs that are hidden

You are absolutely right that AGI will probably barely resemble LLMs, but this is kind of beside the point. An LLM just has to get good enough to automate sufficiently complicated coding tasks, like those of coding new AI experiments. From

I fell into Rand in high school and it took me a few years to climb out. The problem with believing in the primacy of reason is that it's incredibly distortionary. In reality, we all think and reason with respect to our ego and our emo

My advice, which you might not see here, is to write about every game you play. And ideally every movie you watch and book you read, too. To develop a sense of your own taste and what makes a game good to you, you have to write your ideas d

It's the paradox of tolerance. If you tolerate the intolerant (e.g. right-wing assholes) they will push out other groups through their intolerant behavior. The only solution is to rabidly ban hate speech and similar behavior.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the changes won't impact anyone's lifestyle. Moving to renewable energy and phasing out ICE cars allow for the exact same lifestyle. The only things that might have to change are things that require car

I think that people can accept a universal program, but legislators and the think tanks that govern their policy cannot. The point of Dorsey's funding is to provide high quality data to bolster the policy, and this might have that effe

Sure, I wasn't trying to argue against a green new deal or anything, just to give a justification for a UBI in a way others haven't. Clearly they aren't mutually exclusive, unless you're the sort of person who thinks a U

Renters markets suck but it's not like markets just cease to function as soon as consumers get more income. I'm sure there would be some rent seeking, but I doubt most renters markets are so uncompetitive that they could gobble up

Other people have offered practical reasons why they aren't really the same programs with the same goals, but in case you're up for getting utopian, some people see UBI as a necessary step as we enter a later stage of capitalism.

Hot take: 95% of major releases are bad. So if we get up to 20 video game movies and there still isn't a good one, then maybe we can let ourselves think there's a problem.

This isn't a completely sufficient argument, though. Surely, any person into an artform will at some point be able to recognize the difference between what is good because it is good and what is good because it is different. A good cri
