For better or worse there will definitely be services that AIs will use to get bodies (human or otherwise), for a fee. This already exists, just not in the mainstream. At the risk of sounding dystopian: in a world where humans don't ha

Look at how many times the current government has tried to shut down reporting that didn't tow the current party line. Selective access, prosecutions, lawsuits, threats to block mergers, comedians being cancelled while the administrati

Parroting seems like the same thing ("out-of-context clickbait eye-catching headline snippet"), except without any checks or oversight.

What's procedural? The meshes? Textures? I'm impressed that I wasn't able to drive into a void, a lot of times I see things like this and it's a single generation pass that ends after 2 minutes of walking. Is it infinite

The people regulating this are the people profiting from it. Championing change isn't too different from prostrating in front of the King. Your advice might work in a different world.

When I interview someone and they are scared of `git rebase -i` it's a huge red flag. Git rebase has such foundational data structures and concepts that you couldn't pass a serious college programming course without grokking it. T

This is a more reasoned take than most reactions to AI. But nobody wants to consider the possibility that maybe we won't actually need what was traditionally called lawyers in the mid/near term future; certainly before the new gra

You can thank everyone who thumbs up this response along the training pipeline. Modern LLMs are not too different from Reddit/Twitter in that regard, I'm sure the AI labs learned (lol) a lot from them re: how to do "engagemen

The trend (and what TFA is arguing) is literally the opposite: be more implicit, don't waste time on details, and encode the high level concepts only. Because the rest has a billion examples in the model. You can argue against LLM&#x27

What's "Top U.S. Models"? Even if we know what the set is, it's not clear what the numbers actually mean. Is it min, max, average, weighted, median of the models? Prerelease or public, with or without safeguards? A bit f

All three could be true. Industry pressures -> lack of safeguards -> fake it till you make it -> let's spin this. Which, by the way, would be an Orwellian reversal from what the company was supposedly founded to do, but there&

It's not surprising; anyone who thinks share price is something other than what investors are willing to pay has become someone's sucker. And the industry could not exist without a strong foundation of suckers.

Besides serving no purpose other than an attempt to enforce software by fiat (which would hurt legitimate business, make US AI companies noncompetitive, and do nothing to stop illegitimate use)... it's literally impossible to enforce.

What "begins"? There's been several Unity AI companies come and gone already, including some mergers and acquisitions. [1] comes to mind. Epic jumped on the AI bandwagon a while ago. Unity has been the laggard in terms of AI

I agree in spirit, but most serious cases of this class of problem have moved to accelerated kernels (e.g. GPU). Which has some commonality but is different enough that a lot of these learnings don't translate. There might be a narrow

Exactly. It's not so much that there are rules, it's that the rules are decided by random popularity vibes. It's not clear what vibes they will be smoking tomorrow. The least they could do as a nonprofit is make users aware t

Google/Microsoft offer services in exchange for money. They are not tax exempt charities purporting to do beneficial work for society to earn that status. And they don't block your usage based on your perceived ideology.

by avaer 3mo ago
That's fair. They should probably put their political doctrines and ideologies on the home page so people can know if their projects fall into the category of undesirables before they make an account, since the list seems to be expandi

I don't think that's the point. This is clearly a demo for PocketJS.

You're right, it's not a good comparison; PSP is a device and Node is an application that runs JS. Though I wouldn't say it's "backwards". Anyway, the article is saying there is some native host bindings for ea

For a hundred years software was inscrutable enough to normies that you could be an artisan. But most professions haven't had that luxury for a long, long time. Try making and selling pretty much anything else you built by hand. Now it

That's correct but a bit nitpicky. We could talk about punchcards too, but I'm not old enough to credibly make that reference :)
