You're framing this as Muslim vs. Christian. Civilization operates best when church and state are separate. That's certainly under threat, and not just from Muslims. However, the Earth's population is growing, and it's u

It might be a good product if they just got rid of the AI recommendations. I learned back in the hippie days, never take advice from somebody who hallucinates.

What's "hockey tape?" And why are you asking?
214.
by allears 11mo ago
Yeah, don't grease politicians' palms, and do a much slower, well-controlled rollout. Driving involves so many variables and edge cases that if self-driving screwed up as much as AI hallucinates, we'd all be in trouble. It&#x

Zuck is in the enviable position of having his net worth go up due to his failure.

That would be great if we actually had self-driving cars. What we've got now is a mess, using the public roads for a development environment.

Redactions for transparency. Truly we live in a era of newspeak.

So what you seem to be asking is, can the environment and lived experience affect the structure of the brain, or is it fixed at birth? My understanding is that brain structure is malleable, at least at the neuron level, and that there are l

"Hollywood," the short-hand reference to the concentration of entertainment companies in LA, is obsolete. It used to require physical proximity for the thousands involved in making a movie, and a lot of specialized and expensive s

Lemme see. Come up with a theory of scientific progress (no data, studies, or charts, just a theory), claim there's no logical explanation for it, and then immediately jump to "aliens." This article was obviously written by a

We're living in the "downside," if you want to call it that. I was just trying to point out that advertising is pervasive for a very good reason, because our society has created strong incentives and few barriers for it. And

Capitalism (at least our form of it) requires consumerism. Consumerism requires advertising. You may think it's just an annoyance, but it's the foundation of our economy. A dissatisfied consumer wants more; a satisfied consumer do

Totally. From power to cooling to bandwidth to expense, this is an embarrassingly stupid proposal from a supposedly high tech company. Is this some kind of PR move?

I totally agree. Even though the author states over and over that an LLM is just a pattern-matching machine, he still anthropomorphizes the responses. To say that an LLM "makes mistakes" is granting it a consciousness it doesn&#x2

As an interior finish it's kinda ugly. And the house isn't cheap. What exactly is the advantage of 3D printing here?

I neither "believe" nor "disbelieve" in UFOs. Some of the stories and evidence seem credible, but the "U" stands for Unknown. No reason to jump to "aliens." I don't like to form strong opinions a

Just goes to show that popularity has little to do with quality. It's never been a secret that writing a hit song has more to do with following a formula than creativity.

This study seems to make two assumptions: that we know what consciousness is (we don't) and that birds (or for that matter any animals) don't have it (how would we know?).

That's certainly true about me. I never watch ads anyway, so who or whatever made them is irrelevant.

Maybe 5 years from now if we're lucky and if we can afford them. Too many breathless articles like this one that end up saying "still in development."

It's good to know that someone is thinking about first principles, and acting on it.

Numbering the strings from 0-5 may make sense for a programmer, but not so much for a musician. I've been a player for over 60 years, and every method book I've seen uses 1-6. This could be confusing if this tool is part of a coll

As the article notes, this idea has been batted around for decades by conservative Californians who don't want to live in a liberal state. It's a fantasy with little chance of happening, but it always gets the politician who propo

Now that SCOTUS has gone so far off the rails, it's no longer possible to maintain a stiff upper lip and claim that everything's fine.
