I don't think people think they're responsible, exactly, it's just a very convenient way to justify what they're doing.

There's no upper limit to government spending when they can just add some numbers to a database, it's just how much inflation the country can tolerate and whether anyone will accept a wheelbarrow of toilet paper currency in exchan

Yeah, I think in the general case there's going to be a significant amount of selection and arrangement of the works from the AI, though I guess that even then none of the underlying images (or such) of the AI get protection. I wonder

Renewables require storage because they're not always running, the sun isn't always shining, the wind isn't always blowing, but people are always using power. Nuclear only shuts down when someone shuts off the plant, so it p

I thought the proper word for things like this was "privilege"?

That's a fair clarification and that is what happened, but to be clear, when I said they asked it to be thrown out, I was referring to the prosecutor asking the judge for an acquittal. That's... not normal. And the judge praises

Dunno about insiders, but some old tweets called out trouble well before the fact: https://twitter.com/ByrneHobart/status/1628779894183272452 https://twitter.com/RagingVentures/status/161

I mean, you're right that there's a good case that they should have known if they'd done things more thoroughly, but the fact that they simply did fold tells me they probably didn't actually know (even if they really sho

I've heard people getting stuck with them after their mortgages were bought out, but I imagine not everyone has heard the horror stories, either. Someone else mentioned a 2% cash back card, but I have one of those from elsewhere, so i

That's actually addressed in the article if you read deep enough. The judge praises the prosecutor for cutting the case off halfway and asking it thrown out after they heard from the defendant. They did have a video of a guy giving bo

Can we really conclude that just because he films his neighbors and tries to run down their kids in the street by never slowing for small children playing and keeps a diary about them and tells the judge the neighbor is out to murder them?

In this case, they apparently ignored several prior complaints until the guy videotaped this guy giving the man (who tried to run over his kids on several occasions) the finger and making a gesture (wrongly) described as "throat slashi

If you map 'pull all your money' as defect and 'leave your deposits in the bank' as cooperate, you can make a case for it being a prisoner's dilemma, though I don't claim to know if everything would be okay if

Lucky. I haven't been seeing anything for a long time and due to old habits from studying entomology, I habitually identify any butterfly I see. I can tell a Monarch from a Viceroy at a distance just because the latter flies differen

Hmm, I got a color laser printer over 10 years ago. I think I replaced the toner once in that time.

Yeah and even here we hear stats like 33% have serious mental illness, 20-40% have drug issues, etc. I'd bet those figures are even more skewed if we look at the long term homeless populations. But it's true, we really do have to

Cogito ergo sum. You only need one sample to prove existence of a thing. As for the rest, communication. I can share information with other people and debate this. That's not possible with a river. Animals are in between, they can c

Do you have to know what free will is to experience the feeling of causing your own body to do things after thinking? Heck, do you even have to know what the sun is to see that it glows in a way the average rock does not? And yes, I know of

If it wasn't polarizing, they wouldn't have made the tweaks to the AI that caused this to begin with.

Should we not be concerned that this is what the AI is aligned to? I mean, it's great that nobody agrees with it, but it's kinda exposing a real problem with this particular AI's alignment. This is giving results that appare

There aren't that many insects that live longer than a year because they're sensitive to cold and most overwinter as eggs or pupae of some kind. This one in particular would've been dead in a few days. Anyhow, if you study t
