I think surveillance is very, very advanced. But the active meddling thing is old tricks. One should consider this combination. You can't lie to some systems, the better strategy is to be honest. You can lie to some systems, but these

I decided to look at it more closely. It is massive, lots of papers analyzed, but just the Abstract part of each. One way you could look at it is: some authors used an LLM to create the abstract from the paper contents. "Hey, there&#

Pop culture is a narrow subset of culture, not interchangeable with mythology. Stargate is a work of fiction, while ancient aliens presents itself as truth (hiring pseudo-specialists, pretending to be a documentary, etc). You need to seriou

I stand by my claim. I pretended to be less knowledgeable than I currently am about the egyptologists vs. ancient aliens public debate. Then I reported my results, together with the opinion of specialists from trusted sources (what actual e

I honestly don't know. I just noticed a lot of CVEs related to JS JIT in different browsers.

Fair point. It would have made sense from a python perspective also.

Why are you trying to pick up a fight in a post about mourning?

Just being honest, mostly. I'll say things I know will get me downvoted. I'll criticize things that could benefit me if I think they're manipulative. I won't do alt accounts even if everyone does it. I think most surveil

I don't consider Thanksgiving a starving myth because it has coalesced in a ritual that celebrates abundance. There's something about a simple dish made with simple cheap ingredients that makes it require no Wikipedia to pass on m

Maybe the endgame is honesty. Not pretending you're several people, or other convoluted ways of misdirection and disguise. Just honestly acknowledge that profiling exists, and explicitly work against it. That should be enough to make a

A lot of cultures have some sort of starving relic. Maybe a simple national dish made with very cheap ingredients, or an old story around a very important staple crop. Some deep, deep memory that persists for a long time. These are the oppo

It's an unholy chimera. As militant as GNU, as greedy as Microsoft, as viral as fidget spinners. The worst aspects of each of those communities. Actual promising AI tech doesn't even get the center stage, it doesn't get a cha

The major issue with AI technology is the people. The enthusiasts that pretend issues don't exist, the cheap startups trying to sell snake oil. The AI community treats potential customers as invaders. If you report a problem, the entir

> it's not worth the mental energy to fight over what amounts to pennies Maybe it's not about the money. Maybe I see it challenging profiling algorithms as entertainment.

I think it's more difficult than it seems. If I were an algorithm-profiling company I would try to anchor my profilings in the real world (what kinds of people I talk to, about what, what kinds of places I visit, what are the opinions

Waymo was founded in 2004. That's a very slow growth rate. So far, the prediction made in 2018 stands. Self-driving car companies lose money, and are a fiasco. Maybe that will change in the future, but that's the future. We'l

An LLM that offends people and entire nations is what many would classify as _misaligned_. Let's say I have a company, and my company needs to comply to government policy regarding communication. I cannot trust LLMs then, they will eit

Remember, the claim I challenged is that LLMs know culture and can handle talking about them. You need to focus. Most people are not prepared to handle talking about culture. So, LLMs also aren't. They are not any better than asking an

You're full of shit. Let's see what LLMs say when I correct them: https://imgur.com/a/R7DXCRx So, either way you're wrong. If ancient aliens were innofensive, the LLM should have not accepted the correct

Suriname, because it is the smallest country in South America. I know it's unlikely for size to be determinant, but that's a vague hypothetical answer for a vague hypothetical question.
