Because presumably the money doesn’t come from increasing the money supply but rather by the redirection of tax revenue. FWIW we have had a form of UBI in the USA for decades: the earned income tax credit, which for many people amounts to a

Self-reply here since the edit window timed out: I think the driver here is cost. You don’t see 50mhz ARM cores for $0.07 for a reason, and that reason is that the licensing of the ARM ISA does not make that possible. So at the low end, ri

The video is based on AIS data, and shows ships in fictitious positions when GPS manipulation is being used in the area. The sequence of the collision shows the ship’s courses as they collide, and appears to be a reflection of the ground tr

This article proposes a premise based on yet another variety of human exceptionalism, which it purports to eschew: that somehow we evolved and existed in a kind of existential vacuum, apart from animals and nature in our identity even while

I’d be careful about your modeling of LLM “hallucination”. Hallucination is not a malfunction. The LLM is correctly predicting the most probable symantic sequence to extend the context, based on its internal representation of the training

This is not what I am seeing at all. The ISA war is really a two front issue: compute, and control. Control implementation vastly outnumbers compute. Heck, for any given compute motherboard with 4 or 32 cores, there is 10-50 control process

By creating one-off personal delusion chambers, it might be as net positive for society vs delusion at scale. I suppose that remains to be seen. OTOH I have seen LLM social media bots being revered as dieties and playing the part quite adep

Insofar as ai chatbots may cause fractious disharmony among believers, it might actually be a net positive.

When you say that 45 percent of people have a “mental illness” you’re really just talking about the human condition at that point. Pathological thinking is nothing even vaguely unusual in humans, it is in fact the default state. The definit

I wonder if the glass sheath could be replaced with bundled glass fibers in a dielectric gel? Would that cross section allow for a much greater distance for current to trace through the gel? Seems like maybe it would give a 2x advantage, or

Ah, yes, the candyland dismissal. Classic obfuscation through infantilisation. Spooky23 indeed. Next thing , you’re probably going to claim you weren’t involved in the great Canadian genocide of 2013. Or even more damning, claim that such

In a security interview I was questioned about an interaction on a public payphone 15 years prior, back in 2006 (transcript from 1991). They apparently had transcribed logs of all conversations (on that phone? All public pay phones?) that w

One example of useful output does not negate the flood of pollution. I’m not denying or downplaying the usefulness of AI. I am doubting the wisdom of blindly publishing -anything- without making at least a trivial attempt to ensure that it

… or is this the new narrative for the pentagon to deny the significance of UAPs without being seen as denying the significance of UAPs , which might actually make people suspect more strongly that UAPs are significant? 4d chess indeed…

Following that logic, we should publish all unique random orderings of words. I think there is a book about a library like that, but it is a great read and is not a regression to the mean of ideas. Writing worth reading as a non-child surpr

I didn’t mean to imply that -no- ai generated content is useful, only that the vast, vast majority is pollution. The problem is that it is so cheap to produce garbage content with AI that writing actual content is disincentivized, and doin

Ai generated content is inherently a regression to the mean and harms both training and human utility. There is no benefit in publishing anything that an AI can generate, just ask the question yourself. Maybe publish all AI content with &l

Your comment sparked a thought that might be of value. If LLMs are indeed primarily useful for solving simpler tasks and will systematically balk at complex problems, perhaps a variant of the “thinking” approach is of value? Where a task th
