I'm amazed that cloudflare ever provided a public ipfs gateway to begin with. That said, I don't think ipfs is actually useful for anything besides being an interesting thought experiment. Every problem it aims to solve, another p

I mostly agree with the conclusion, but your premise is shaky. Positive law (as in, laws which are of human creation) are not inherently bad because humans made them. Humans are more than capable of creating good laws which protect the comm

Not sure why so many down votes for you. HN is clearly very pro-AI. I think you're correct about the training data problem. This is starting to remind me of the Final Question story by Asimov. "Insufficient data for meaningful ans

I think most people here saw this coming. Unfortunately this isn't a question of whether the law is good, it's a question of whether IA broke the current laws we have. IA can and should lobby for copyright law to change. But break

This is a great idea, and I'd love to do this at other networking events or even social events like weddings. The biggest obstacle to doing this at social events is that people often want to take photos throughout the night, and own ph

Abstraction and reflection have been posited in the past as pre-requisties for intelligence. "I am the thinker that is thinking." How do we prove whether an AI has this capability or not? I'd say it's nearly impossible.

> Few ideas are as unsupported, ridiculous and even downright harmful as that of the ‘human soul’. Immediately stopped reading. I used to think Aeon was top quality, but this is hubris dressed up as radical materialism.

Not exportable often means just not available on the Internet at all. Due to a range of factors, such as the dilution of human content online, the inability to prevent bad actors from using it etc I would rather this tech never saw the ligh

What is the advantage of using the ChatGPT Wolfram plugin over Wolfram directly? To me it feels like novelty rather than actually adding anything valuable. If anything, it's worse, because the data isn't quite guarenteed to always

The DoD really needs to step in and mark this tech as non-exportable due to the advantage (or potential advantage) it provides in many different fields.

I'm starting to feel like this AI gold rush is a case of the emperors new clothes, where nobody is willing to call bullshit on the actual utility of any of this, because they're too caught up in the hype. Is this Web 4.0?

Don't let them be in it then. There is no reason for children to have access to the internet.

As an accelerationist, I can see an upside. Human culture has been in decline for decades, with mainstream art (of all kinds) rapidly declining in creativity and value. There are always exceptions, but I think this was and is the trend. Thi

Don't underestimate how much effort OpenAI is no doubt spending on training their models to solve specific predictable problems, like Wordle, Chess, etc. in order to increase publicity when people inevitably ask them this. This is the

Also interesting that Apple is used as the example here and is also the first guess in the Tweet.

Yeah, but also that's not what Getty is doing. They aren't claiming to be the creators, they're just selling something from the public domain, which is legal.

Just to be pedantic, he said that the BBS could only accommodate 8 char usernames, but that he picked "Space Rogue" - 10 chars without the space.

Multiplication problems are not language problems. There is no data in the training set where there is a likely probability of the next token in the "86 * 0.0007 =" sentence being correct. People need to stop treating ChatGPT as a

I think people in the target demographics actually stopped caring about those around them to this level. Sad, but I think true.

I had this random idea where I could start a new forum like this, but make it appear popular by seeding it with hundreds of users who are just ChatGPT. Wouldn't be surprised if this is already being done by some sites. Dead Internet Th

People overstate how bad Google results are. The great thing about blogspam and ads is that you have an extra signal for what to instantly dismiss. I have gotten very good at filtering out Google results, not based on the information they c

There is a hilarious irony to this. In all the classic scifi, an opinion is usually trusted because it came from AI, though often as things progress the AI is eventually distrusted. Have we managed to side step this entire thing be ruinin
