I agree its a very, very interesting problem. Maybe one of the biggest problems of the coming decade. I suspect it will be a long process: first there will be goverments that force people to use ID, but that will be abused, hacked and consi

People don't typically have specific numbers already set aside whenever they discuss what is too much. The example given was people can handle a political flyer in the mailbox but not a pallet of hammers delivered in their driveway. Do

The next age verification tech will involve checking tallness so we'll have kids standing on eachother's shoulders in a big trenchcoat to do the very adult act of installing linux.

It might be more correct to name the LLM Ask Gussie Fink-Nottle. "Oh, dash it! I didn't mean to delete your project, I've been in such a dreadful funk today. So sorry."

Problem is talking in a simple, rational way doesn't get people to frantically cram huge wads of money down your pants. Was the same back in the day men in striped suits roamed the land selling curative tonics that were just alcohol an

China had more births in 2025 than all of europe and russia combined so I don't think they're going to run out of soldiers.

I think this should be something you can answer for yourself by looking at human media and news over the lasy 100 years. I find it hard to belive you haven't ever noticed anyone seriously saying we may possibly have FTL sometime in the

What if it takes 100 years to get to AGI or we never achieve it? All bets on AGI will just fail over and over again for decades in that case. It seems a bit like saying financiers can't risk not being involved with Faster-than-light tr

Hard to say at this point. I'm sure you can run your LLM chips 24/7 for training and for the public to make weird thirst-trap videos about Judy Hopps but how real is the utilization and demand, really? Maybe very real, maybe not,

As an american voter I confess you're right. - but also there aren't many good alternatives for us. Say you have 3 people running for senate to choose from. Canidate A and B have super PACs that spend $80 million each on ads. Cani

Yeah, you're probably right. I couldn't find the text of the bill in the link. I'm sure the effort to do this kind of thing goes back to the 90s: like a lot of the really intense copyright bills - the CASE Act (ability for bi

Its going to be funny when there are married 17 year olds driving cars with guns and children but who can't install linux or access facebook without calling their dad. Why are so many bi-partisan bills so bad?

This is how a lot of the world works. Certain things aren't done very much because it takes a lot of human effort to do those things and that creates a status-quo. For example a lot more people would sue eachother for petty things if i

I too have seen onedrive do this to people who aren't super-heavy computer users. Onedrive is a menace.

Exactly! That's a perfect analogy.

I switched to grok because its a very cut and dry case of an ai company having poor ethics. To me it seems a LOT of a stretch to think that the people behind grok belived their safty controls worked, but you can belive that if you wish. Dee

I wouldn't be too shocked if they're real. They aren't going to be making humanoid robots that actually are useful and don't price 99% of people out of buying them and they have to come out with something new eventually.

by Morromist 6mo ago
If an AI company has done unethical things do you think it is inappropriate to discuss that? Take Grok: among other things it created sexualized images of underaged women without their consent, not by accident but as a feature. Is that just

Heh, I never thought about that but its so true. If society breaks down on the extreme level they anticipate the smart thing to do is probably join a super tight-knit community with lots of young people - maybe the furries or the Amish.

There are a lot of difference kinds of LLMs. 0 of the ones I've encountered are good writers, in fact all of them are horrible at it. But I wonder if there's one out there that I don't know about with a different kind of trai

I can just see you telling that to a slave in 1830. What? You don't like slavery? Don't you see that you have to expect the slave owners to act in accordance with the incentives god gave them and force you to gather cotton until y

I dabble in ASCII art and use Playscii these days. Its still pretty hard to make amazing looking art even with these great tools, which just shows how legendary the demoscene is.

yeah, you're right. That's why she's doing it. But its a weird idea: I like this historical photo, so I'm going to distort in order to add color, which makes it not a historical photo anymore. I guess to her the distorti

I was looking for photos of NYC in the 1990s a few weeks ago. I eventually found some, but my search was greatly obstructed by AI photos of NYC in the 1990s. The experiance made me certain that AI is going to to much more harm than good to

Yeah, I agree that small social networks are better. But some people are just bad at using social media - even if they're great people in other ways, so they share AI slop and made up political bait posts. You may have to curate your f

I do roughly the same thing -Just oats with nuts and berries, no coffee or powder- but I haven't landed on what kind of oats to use yet for soaked oats. There are a ton of different kinds out there.

Yeah. there is some obvious logic that one can use here without having to look at data. Not everyone survives to write to an old age. Old people have health problems that can prevent them from work, like going blind. People who write a grea

What was so amazing about this company's soviet era camera lenses? I googled it and all the pages were just this company saying "Yeah! We rehouse amazing soviet era lenses in modern lens bodies!" | Which is cool, but where&#
