These are cameras sold specifically to be available over the open internet, I guess.

Your logic is solid, but their usage kinda implies the opposite (that skylights would make summers worse, not winters). That seems possible given the obvious dynamics of increasing the amount of direct sunlight, but based on a quick Kagi

Heat is not a cost -- no one is physically cooking because they live within miles of a building with computers in it. Water usage is not a cost with this new technology -- that is what the article is about. Infrasound is terrifically unders

I’m kinda lost here… do y’all really have machines in your houses with hundreds of gigs of RAM?? Am I just behind the times? The page advertises the 8-bit quant as taking ~800GB, which seems like it would require at least 3 consumer mothe

What exactly did AI steal? The concept of clocks? AI is not involved in the actual copyrighted content at all.

Correction: some random tiny scam company copied a book without permission in blatant violation of copyright law, and AI was briefly and tangentially involved with the final product. In other words: AI stole someone’s soul with its own meta

For explicit comparison: kinetic and metamorphosis are ~10x as common as breviary , and 10,000x as common as hippo… . See NGRAMs: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Breviary%2CHip...

Not to bring up the topic de jure too early, but this seems like a very lazy usage of AI. Especially egregious when it’s to redo something that’s been done a thousand times…

The actual paper is linked above, and of course it’s bad. The gates are awesome ofc, but the paper’s philosophy is arrogant and uninformed (sorry Mr. Wynter!). And that’s what this is — including a video game example in your philosophy pa

Which is the nearterm future that we must demand: a stop to the amounts of capital flowing to ASI research. Join me, Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI’s-founding-charter in saying the obvious, y’all; Pause AI, now. It should be clear by now tha

Wow, I’ve joked about the prospect so frequently that realizing it has a real Twitter subculture hit me hard. Describing people like that… it’s akin to derisively referring to “the dysfunctional” part of society, to pick on my own disabil

They never claimed to be “so much ahead”, they just claimed to be honest.

This is for the people who uber to work every day. Yes, they somehow exist. It blew my mind to meet one — he was spending something like $40/day on transport, as a new grad SWE!

Very, very curious to see if HN's love of cute websites trumps our hatred of scroll capture (used here just as an initial hook).

Out of curiosity, which AI persona should I attribute this writing to? Is this Claude?

Yeah that title is absurd, tho it did make me read the whole thing out of pure incredulity. The “tearing itself apart” apparently refers to the fact that the CSU system spent $16M on AI tools during a $2B+ budget deficit, which… yeah. Doesn

You think they're intentionally being bad because they can't manage to pump $65B into a startup on a whim...?

How that took place may provide more useful info than philosophy. Data is always nice, but empirical results are literally useless without philosophy to understand and apply them. That is unless 'we all move to south korea 20

The humans are still there, scrolling, but the thing they’re scrolling through has become a performance staged by machines for an audience that hasn’t yet realized the show isn’t for them. That is a gross mischaracterization of the

Yeah that sure would be a crazy thing to say. I would hate if someone said that!

There’s a lot more ways automation can turn out than “permanent underclasses”. It’s kinda like how some people build planes without supporting crashing them into things

Fair, I should caveat that heavily! She linked to a thread on the Linux forums (?) where that accusation was leveled by a few people using their real names, but I didn't do that research myself. I've never heard of this person, so

I feel like it is a very great privilege to be able to post this to Hacker News, soliciting donations. Just curious -- are you implying that this is exempted from the rules because the poster is famous? I'm not familiar with an

Standing up for yourself and your peers is a virtue, not a weakness. Yes, it’s easy to crack down on individual dissent — but only if you stay quiet.

Oh of course -- the unusual part is that they apply it to basically everything. Gravity is caused by inertia drift, consciousness is coherence drift, the economy is governed by power drift, etc.

The EAGLE team traced this fragility to a phenomenon we call ‘attention drift’ Ok that’s downright fascinating. I am one of the world’s foremost experts on the AI psychosis sufferers posting grand theories on Reddit, and ‘drift’ is
