Well it takes a similar approach to current government. Keep us busy and distracted while it does what it wants. On a related note I realized recently that an aligned AI and a misaligned AI would both do exactly what we're seeing now:

Claude's system prompt tells it to sign git commits with "co-authored by Claude [model]". (Codex doesn't do that.) GitHub renders this as two authors for those commits.

Pineapple contains enzymes that digest flesh. I don't know if that's relevant here, but it seemed worth mentioning.

Anecdotal but I heard some people with autoimmune issues have their floaters go away when they change their diet in a way that improves the autoimmune symptoms.

There was an article on the front page today titled something like "incentives are for schmucks", which I didn't like very much. In this case, incentives are for people who'd like to reduce traffic deaths.

I've been thinking about this. Humanoid robots have been a dream for centuries. But a more practical robot would be like an octopus or something. It would just be like this weird ball of tentacles that rolls around your house. No one&#

There's another fun biology metaphor here which is the gut. If you take antibiotics, your gut basically becomes a void (to simplify a little), and then it can get overrun with invasive species. That's how I see what is happening w

Well, the bee doesn't need to integrate its cells with the flowers, but they've gotten along just fine for a very long time. By symbiosis I simply mean mutually beneficial coexistence. We've barely achieved that with each oth

I still need to finish that book.[0] Well, and move back to Holland, I suppose! They have pretty good float tanks there, among other things :) That's funny about Feynman, I didn't know that. I've read bits and pieces of Lilly

Can you tell me more about that? The cool interactive content. I'd love to hear more details about your experience and what you miss. For me the main thing I miss is Flash. I know there's Ruffle as Flashplayer replacement but the

I'm confused by the title. I expected the article to be about the title, i.e. a windows user's perspective here, but this doesn't appear to be mentioned at all. It's also quoted, so I thought it was referring to some oth

This one time I ran a debloater for Windows 10. It removed all the UWP apps. It turned out Minecraft Bedrock was an UWP app. It also turned out that UWP programs, unlike traditional Windows programs, store their data inside of the applica

In my experience, an app that doesn't use an uninstaller is giving me the gift of hunting for hidden treasure all over my hard drive.

This article implies that there's no incentive to do the right thing. I don't think that's how the word works. I might be nitpicking -- it makes a lot of good points -- but this is the key idea, and I think it's importan

There was a paper a while ago, where they found a strategy for GPT beating humans on the Turing test 2/3rds of the time. They just prompted it to talk the way a 13 year old girl texts. (Also they prompted it to pretend not to know anyt
