>AI simply does all the jobs we currently have? Not really. It would be good at doing generic, well-defined tasks but bad at doing specialized, novel tasks. You would still need some humans in the loop to get to the bottom of niche probl

Were they the best of the best? or were they just at the right place and time to be exposed to a novel idea? I am skeptical of this claim that you need a 140IQ to make scientific breakthroughs, because you don't need a 140IQ to underst

Almost all of the work in making a new operating system or a gameboy emulator or something is in characterizing the problem space and defining the solution. How do you know what such and such instruction does? What is the ideal way to handl

In practice, I find the ability for this new wave of AI to extrapolate very limited.

Well that makes sense. Perhaps it is not a transfer of wealth to the poor, but a transfer of power to the middle class. I would say this: in the future I think we are gonna have all sorts of robotics that will be able to use LLMs and vision

So you just churn the outputs 10 times? You might as well have no protections at all

It's not just the cost, but the freedom to do what you want... With open weight models I can run them on my own hardware on the edge, work with data I am not cool with uploading, experiment with different interfaces, use them for thing

who wants to spend time consuming AI art? If the costs are low, then there is no moat to create movies or gaussian splat VR games, and therefore no reason to spend money on movies or VR splat games.

They do everything the closed weight models do, slightly less effectively, but for way cheaper. I'd buy that for a dollar! Just because people aren't spending money on them doesn't mean it won't eat your lunch.

rust has other advantages. I think cargo is better than cmake. I think the syntax is better, I think the way dependencies and modules are handled is better. It can be annoying to write "safe" code, but once it meets a certain stan

Seems like overly long copium about nothing in particular. The author makes some assertions, like that elizabeth warren is a viable candidate or that the republican party will weaken in coming years due to demographic changes, or that shale

The development of zcash is entirely controlled by Electric coin company, and they use this to control the zcash supply by taking a fraction of the coinbase outputs. Even if zcash is technologicially superior, why not just fork it exactly a

Bitcoin associated with criminal transactions are worth less than "clean" bitcoin. so they are not fungible. All bitcoin outputs are naturally NFTs, for example see Colored Coins or Ordinals.

Gulf of Mexico, Department of War. "Department of Defense" has always been a weird doublespeak term. I welcome the new old name. "Gulf of America" is a stupid way to antagonize the world and accomplish nothing. Even if w

it is the general lifestyle of self-expression which does. The kind of person who expresses themself through "be gay and do crime" stickers does not seriously threaten the system through crime. Totally individualistic self-express

I agree, I much prefer to just use stickers of random stuff I get

by beeflet 11mo ago
It does effect me. If it didn't effect anyone, no one would do it. Tattoos, stickers, etc. are a form of social signalling. Maybe they disagree with what's being signalled, or the act of signalling itself.

The network does not elect a leader. that is a mischaracterization of the PoW process. It's not like you are hashing based on your public key or something and then you get to sign a block afterwards. You have to commit to a block templ

I don't buy this in the first place. It is reasonable to expect consumers to do some background research into the products they buy. In fact, it is the only way capitalism can function as a meritocracy. Society should be more dangerous

The adults that are to stupid to stop themselves from installing malware are making an well-informed decision about computers? I think they are choosing one out of the two options that duopolize all smartphones, a device they need to do pre

I don't care about what the riff-raff think, it is morally wrong and defies human freedom and dignity to require everyone walk around with a locked-down surveilance device in their pocket in order to function in the economy. 60% of soc
