Only if people want to be watching Harrison Ford movies for that long. You forget how much power people have as consumers. Studios keep making unoriginal movies with old actors because people keep going to see them. If Star Wars sequels did

An LLM can't, but StableDiffusion can. Deepfakes are very much automated for still images, and it's really just a matter of time until it's automated for video and 3D.

It'll be a revolution for indie filmmakers. $0 budget movies with top-notch visuals. When movies take $100 million each to make, you need execs and investors to make it happen, and they want safe returns. When they cost $0, anybody wit

It's not class warfare. The endgame here isn't "Hollywood execs fire all the actors and make billions for themselves", it's "an app on your phone makes whatever movie you want for free, and the Hollywood execs

I think this is a very close-minded view. "old school television" is also a very new invention, we went most of history without all watching the same thing. People will still share the things they find interesting with the people

I'm not on their side here. Imagine if we were still weaving our clothes by hand because the weavers union signed a contract in 1846. Anything that stops technology from replacing human workers is a bad thing.

If NVidia doesn't, somebody else will. Maybe AMD, maybe Apple, maybe Intel. Apple's neural engine is really interesting as a GPU alternative. It's still just a bunch of tensor cores, but the unified memory architecture allows

Abstraction. You don't need to know what's going on at the quantum level because higher-level simulations can capture all the properties you care about.

I'm interested in the more general problem; how can you compare expressive power between completely different models of computation? Are neural networks more or less expressive than other forms of computation like register machines? Wh

The point of punishment is to discourage you (and other people) from doing that action in the future. You don't need free will for that.

Maybe, but there's no data to support one interpretation over another. I believe that all quantum interpretations are incomplete and therefore wrong. Quantum mechanics is an abstraction over a deeper level of physics we can't meas

Locality may also be an abstraction. I find it very intriguing that a "speed of light" emerges automatically in Conway's Game of Life. It's not built into the system, but shows up from the convolutional update rule.

A concept is an abstraction. Abstractions are a way to characterize the behavior of complex systems. It's not feasible to directly compute their behavior, but they still have predictable properties. Concepts let you handle emergence; y

Not necessarily. Everything is deterministic above the quantum level, and it's possible that quantum non-determinism is the result of deterministic processes we can't see. Lots of deterministic processes (like PRNGs) look random f

It's a game-changer in that it shows computers being able to climb levels of abstraction on their own. In the past, if you wanted programs to work with a high-level idea, you had to explicitly hand it to them. Humans had to do the work

Also reddit users hate ads and widely promote adblock.

Social media sites can and do die. Myspace and Friendster died. Digg and StumbleUpon died. Tumblr is looking pretty ghostly. If it's true that reddit isn't profitable, that itself could spell the end of the site. That's a bad

Transformers - and all other ML models - are ways to represent computer programs. You can think of them as a programming language designed to be easy for optimization instead of for human understanding. It's not clear to anybody exactl
