This is shockingly good, lots of fun. It does not really get the styles I ask for, and as observed elsewhere only really generates hip-hop style vocals, but man this is very cool.

Retracted in light of BoorishBear's comment, which is definitely true. I'm not a big hip hop guy, but I think that the "everyone sounds like T-Pain" comment is something like 10-15 years out of date. I have to say that I

Obligatory mention of T-Pain's Tiny Desk Concert, in which he demonstrates, without autotune, that he's a talented musician and vocalist who's using it stylistically. https://www.npr.org/2014/10/29&#

Ohh, nice. I recently took the dive to update a side project to the 1.7 preview release to try to wrap my head around some of the new stuff. So far it's been a lot of fun, I really like Phoenix. I could definitely use an updated copy o

Exactly, and my point is that we don't even need it to be Skynet for it to be harmful (although I agree that whenever we do get a true AGI, it's very likely that it will be _immediately_ let out of the box).

Disclaimer: This is something of a copy/paste job from a previous comment of mine. I was initially extremely bullish on AI in the early days of the ChatGPT release. As time has gone on though, I'm becoming more worried about where

I can pass drug tests (without cheating, I mean), what's this magical tech field you're referring to?

I'll be his scapegoat for a mere 10th of what he makes! You can blame me for anything you dislike that Google does. As a matter of fact, I think we could crowdfund this. Watch this space for a link to my Patreon, where you can pay a me

No kidding. I worked for a while at a startup focused on creating robots that can do a fairly difficult, human involved industrial task. The software in question used existing robotic arms and attempted to automate the work. The challenges

I'm really not convinced we're close to AGI, at least in the traditional sense of it that LessWrong / the rationalists seem to be so worried about. I'm not convinced that our current approaches will actually lead to AGI

I must admit I'd never heard about his anti-Semitism until today. I looked it up and, well, his statements pretty much leave nothing to the imagination on that front. Shitty, to be sure, no argument from me. Still, as a kid who read hi

I agree to a certain degree, the scope and fairly transparent agenda of the changes definitely make it more of a problem. I'm still put off by the project. I guess there's probably a small set of edits you could make that would be

Because the books came to be loved in their original form, and in that form were an expression of Dahl's creativity. Because the changes take place silently and impart a sense of moral value that wasn't originally present. Because

Wow. This is so gross. I was a bit put out by the Dr. Seuss controversy a few years back, but at least in those cases, they just stopped printing the books (and, to be fair, the caricatures of various ethnic groups in If I Ran The Zoo are p

Haha, right - as I was thinking about it I was feeling simultaneously sentimental and ghoulish. Like, "aww, what a sweet idea, to respectfully retire and preserve someone's well loved toy," and then at the same time "yes

I'm finding myself growing increasingly cynical on any politician's promises with regards to the "drug war" as we live through the painfully slow and stupid pullback of marijuana prohibition. How pot is still on schedule

Maybe you could send a nice box, something kind of evoking a coffin without being overly morbid, and present it as something like a funeral service. Maybe when you receive the "body" you could clean it up and take a nice photo to

It's funny, because I am not a religious person, but I still strongly believe in the power of symbols. Recently, at a concert my brother handed me a container of Tic tacs, which he told me were given to him by our mom. Mom always has g

Oh man, that's fun. It's also sorta comforting in a way, it reinforces the fact I'm not the only one out here who doesn't know what the hell they're doing. Good stuff.

I mean, I have no ability to check it for correctness, but ChatGPT is certainly capable of writing Cobol. Just asked it for an implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm and it looks reasonable enough to me. Why _wouldn't_ the program

Also, re: the amount of money - you're absolutely right. 5m at the 4% safe withdrawal rate is 200k a year which would be way more than enough. I'll start the bidding at 2.5m for those aformementioned tech billionaires (what a stea

Yeah, I'm a fan of the ethos, although pretty far behind on the implementation. One article I really like from that blog is this one: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/08/19/urban-tribe/ It&#x27

I was recently fantasizing about winning the lottery and had the somewhat funny realization that I really couldn't think of what _things_ I'd want to buy. I'd buy a nice but not extravagant house, on a nice but not huge piece

Good comment. What's the more realistic thing to be afraid of: * LLMs develop consciousness and maliciously disassemble humans into grey goo * Multinational megacorps slowly replace their already Kafkaesque bureaucracy with shitty, unc

It doesn't have to be a conscious AI god with malicious intent towards humanity to cause actual harm in the real world. That's the thought that concerns me, much more so than the idea that we accidentally end up with AM or SHODAN

Evolution seems to have done so without any intentionality. I'm less concerned about the idea that AI will become conscious. What concerns me is that we start hooking these things up to systems that allow them to do actual harm. While

Yeah, no real argument from me on most of that. I'm mostly hesitant due to my own understanding of my own desire to see naked women when I was a teenager and, to be crude about it, a pretty constant desire to jerk off. Obviously ideall

That's really cool, I don't know how I'd never heard about this before. And yes, just in case it wasn't clear, I'm not advocating blockchain here, I have no stake in that stuff or any real understanding of it. But I
