It's irresponsible to say the model is simulating physics from video training data.

Yeah it is political lol. What do you think political means? Why is it important to society that we know more about old people in the old age homes? Do they need more or less support? Social security and supporting older people past retirem

Sounds pretty awful to me bud. If an AI art model generates some images in a latent space, and no one is around to see it, does it make a sound? I'd prefer we not rely on horrifically inefficient, expensive, and statistically boring co

Sorry if this sounds harsh but I find it kind of funny that you're lamenting a loss of uniqueness and meaning in human art while operating a system that is basically designed to create derivative work while stripping all context and me

Well I'm glad you're enjoying the philosophical equivalent of junk food I guess.

It bothers us because most of us have basic empathy. Also to train on the work of every artist then lament how human art resembles art generated by a machine trained to reproduce that art strikes me as a bit tone deaf.

I'm not sure I agree with that and I'm one of the biggest ai pessimists here. The gpus getting created to do this shit aren't just gonna get thrown out (maybe sold in a fire sale), and they're pretty general purpose. Ton

Yeah I do mean the same Jack Welch who looted GE and permanently sent American business culture into a seemingly unrecoverable decline. Maybe GE was just way too unfocused of a company to exist, but if you squint enough, you can see the tra

I think you're right, but I don't think "AI" as we see it today is really the thing we should be looking at when we come out of this bubble. What's really exciting is that we're building an enormous parallel co

You're right, there was absolutely nothing to be pessimistic about vis a vis crypto. Nothing bad ever happened there.

Using smart children who have degrees from reputable institutions like Stanford is a value signal that VC uses to get more people involved with their plays. It's borrowing legitimacy and adding to the Jobsian mythology of the company,

That and Welchism are two big reasons why the business culture in the valley sucks.

P=NP is more than likely a physical problem with our current computational architectures more than anything else. I would imagine cracking that would require new physics, and for that, the infrastructure these things run on is likely far mo

Don't really feel the need to prove anything to someone who thinks a chatbot has empathy. You're free to make yourself feel as smart as you like talking to a program that is designed to be an unchallenging conversation partner.

I feel like you shouldn't take jabs at the people you know if you feel you're having profound conversations with a chatbot.

There's another big aspect which is performance. I do believe that if you buy software and hardware, you should be able to do whatever you want with it including dumping the rom and/or bios, but obviously it's very easy to di

I think it was also that they were taking donations so there was a monetary aspect to the take down.
