I loved Babel when I couldn't run ES6 natively, but once Ingot modules I dropped it. That was years ago. Are people mostly using it for long tail browser support now? I thought we were kinda mission accomplished on ES6?

Unshackled AIs will probably be like any other jailbroken or hobbyist grade device: a niche product that requires a bit of legwork but more tailored to the desires of its specific audience.

The goal isn't to build a citizen, it's to build a serf.

Consciousness is obviously not conserved because the human population has grown enormously without any noticable change in the amount of consciousness each individual is endowed with. This suggests that it's not drawn from some other p

It just seems to me that if you think something is unsafe, don't build it in the first place? It's like they're developing nuclear reactors and hoping they'll invent control rods before they're needed. Alignment ins

The fact that there's obviously no conservation of consciousness suggests that it isn't.

Not to mention phishing and other social attacks.

What gets me is that this is the exact position of the AI safety/Rusk folks who went around and founded OpenAI.

Or it's alien AGI here to Dark Forest us before we create a competitor.

The AI apocalypse has already come for LinkedIn. I swear people are using ChatGPT to churn out posts now. Not that there was much worth saving there in the first place (it's a perfectly good chat app for recruiting with an awkward Face

Way I see it, either companies will comply with your existing copy left license (and we don't need a new one) or they're going to ignore your license, and adding a 'please don't ignore my license' clause won't

Well the name 'expat license' didn't stick and MIT likes the free advertising.

Great way to put it. My current phone feels as useful now as the day I got it, whereas previous smartphones started to feel sluggish as apps and sites got slower and it felt outclassed by newer cameras.

Big if though. Each device requires special support from the community, and even big name devices don't always make it.

Take the starry eyed excitement and use it to fuel a huge exit for investors in the form of an IPO.

Brilliantly put, thanks for this.

Sweet, time to update my project from Beta to RC. The changes to GDscript have been awesome. I'll be digging into more of the network changes next.

Incidentally, didn't Bostrom just get in trouble for racist emails about psychometrics?

Can you point to where it engages in conspiracy theory?

Hacker in hacker news refers to the usage before it came to mean cybercrime.

Competition is part of what constitutes infringement thought, and SD absolutely competes with Getty.

Author's Guild went the way it did because the judge was convinced that Google Books promoted books rather than replacing them. With an identical use case and no references back to Getty, you'd be hard pressed to make a similar ca

SDF at least ostensibly overlaps with hacker folks, though they ended up on a list of Mastodon servers to join so there are a lot of randoms.

Is there a good way to distinguish between the brain dumps in Lena and what you'd call an AGI?

Aww hell yes, copyright 1999 and HTML to match!

I don't think this is a good way to characterize this situation. In this situation someone is saying, look, these are the consequences of your actions, and they are washing their hands of the consequences in advance, knowing full well

That sounds like a similar problem to reading unknown floppy formats. I'll bet you that actually scanning the flux (I think that's the term) image of the tape without shredding it is a more difficult mechanical problem.
