Do you have any good sources on that? I have seen things to suggest that not all of the hype is true, but so far I have not encountered anyone claiming all of the hype is untrue. Which is what I interpret "its all hype" (sic) t

If people attend university for certification instead of education I think the battle is already lost. AI is an easy, but possibly high risk approach to gaining the certification without work, but the tried and tested approach is doing the

I'm prepared to buy a laptop that utilises AI to improve things and generally makes things better. I see no evidence so far to suggest that this is it. Google should totally be experimenting with what can be done, but it seems to be

I think the converse of this is also true. People who do something good are derided for being unprofessional for not adhering to some cosmetic standard. You can hardly blame people who make fancy websites for projects which look cool but y

There were a few cool display modes you could make with VGA if you punched the CRTC the right way. I liked using 400x300 256 colors at 87Hz. You needed a decent monitor to handle it. If you swapped pixels of similar luminosity every

>I think it is like for a programmer to ask "How can one contribute to computer science?", while thinking about people like, Dijkstra, Knuth, or maybe even Carmack. I had a conversation a day ago with a couple of high-school

I often find him a bit much myself, but don't doubt his passion, and even if I did, I would only express that opinion publicly accompanied by supporting evidence, because using phrases like "people fall for his shtick" is es

Jeffery Epstein was a very prominent financier, but if you pointed to him as an example of a financier I would suspect you are doing so due to properties that are not intrinsic to being a financier. I think you are doing this with Yarvin,

Perhaps I should rephase then. I think Curtis Yarvin(And indeed Davis) are not a representative example of any particular idea. Pathologies perhaps, but while the symptoms of such things have enough similarities to identify them, they do n

Making a 74 series CPU is on my infinite to-do list. Last time I tried I ended up getting sidetracked by making a tool to help me. https://fingswotidun.com/PerfBoard/ But at least that's made the job of building a

I feel like using Curtis Yarvin as an argument against tech solutions is like using Terry Davis as an argument against Christianity.

I think this article touches upon something quite apparent in this modern age. Talking to people with different opinions is considered tantamount to joining them. It is much better to point the finger of blame rather than suggest a way fo

AI is particularly bad at this, and regimes that employ tactics generally are not short of labour to have humans to do it. If AI is being used in these areas it is less as an attempt to manipulate as it is to just create noise and engender

My experience is similar, but I remain more motivated to give away what I make than to ask people to pay for it.

I'm not sure why so many seem to think anthropomorphism is so mad in this specic instance, if it is because people think that anthropomorphism creates a belief that the imagined features are real, they are simply wrong. The abundance

I guess it depends on who gets paid for the movie being shown, and who gets paid when a ticket is sold. If it is free to show the movie then there is no penalty to running extra sessions. If it isn't free, someone is being paid. If tha

It's hard to tell if that's what's going on here, but it seems pretty clear this ability and more like it will be quite apparent in the future. I have seen some poorly considered projections of what the world might look like

Can you confirm that the title is correct and that it encrypts rather than hashes? Both are concerns, but sending interpretable data is a more serious concern. I scanned through the article and did not see an example of the header it added.

It can be quite expensive to get the models and machines to do this. That's what the money pays for when the Comment above mentions 'that you might have to eventually pay an AI company a large amount of money to ask ChatGPT such

I don't perceive an AI as impersonating a human if it uses first person pronouns. Emulating is not impersonating. One is behaving similarly, the other is asserting that the similarity implies equivalence. I have not personally encoun

I'm with you on this. There's a difference between exposing wrongdoing and being antagonistic. Doing them both together increases the amplitude of the signal at the cost of reducing the integrity of the signal. If you wonder why

Perhaps this is a matter of who is being referred to by 'we'. Obviously someone can do it because it got done. If the 'we' is referring to some team handling issues it would make more sense. In that case they should hav
