Stop saying AI? >But they are not intelligence and anyone who spends time with them quickly realizes they are just a very superpowered suggestion engine How about: stop moving goalposts. These models are obviously capable of acts of inte

Now that you mention it, I, uh, also add umms when my speech pathways experience high latency.

Easily impressed? These are difficult tasks! Even being able to grip the apple without crushing it is impressive. Not sure anything here is state of the art, but that doesn’t make it easy.

Are real world physics really that much more complicated than video game physics? Sure, if you’re talking about E&M, relativity, or QFT, the real world is more complicated, but for every day mechanics, they seem pretty comparable? Video

Millions of people being put out of work might change the political landscape quite a bit. We’re talking about a technological revolution, so I don’t think it’s too crazy to consider an economic or political revolution to go with it.

Like, due to lack of political willpower? Or do you see some fundamental limitation of, say, an automation tax?

How many coders do you know that can make AI improvements? That ability is already reserved for the top humans. AI doesn’t even need to reach this bar to be better than the average coder.

If an AI was truly capable of replacing engineers en mass, the upside would hugely outweigh the downside. Engineering muscle will be limited by chips instead of brains. Injecting millions of AI “engineers” into any economy would be a massiv

They’ve put a lot of research into making their mobile website unusable. These kinds of innovations aren’t cheap.

>I wouldn’t even be surprised that this could be viable economically. Do you imagine there's a large market for physically-based time locked encryption? Hard to imagine there's a ton of paying customers lol

Anyone opposed to this should start a company and see how they like paying someone six figures to waste their time.

Cognitive decline is scary, because if it happens gradually enough, you wouldn’t even realize it’s happening. Was I sharper a few years ago? Maybe, I really couldn’t tell you, and it’s not like I’ve been taking cognitive evaluations to chec

Let it be known: this is what moving the goalposts sounds like! The AI is proposing novel quantum algorithms using terminology most of us here don’t understand, and it’s apparently not “that impressive”! We truly live in interesting times

They used a lot of words to tell a story about their experience. You used a lot of words to reduce their experience and make yourself sound smart.

Neural nets do not model human biology, they are models which are inspired by human biology.

Google sells their index?? (Microsoft famously sells theirs to DuckDuckGo, right?)

Is video game security an entire subfield of its own? I imagine there are categories of exploits in video games which simply don’t exist in other areas of software

Cars are extremely cheap compared to their drivers.

Here in the U.S. we have our own zero-value currency called the “penny”. Strangely, our own government mints these things - no NGO required.

This is not correct in general. My job uses SSO and I can change my Slack name.

Yeah, I wish this was emphasized more in driving school. I wonder how much traffic could be reduced just by making people conscious of their traffic-causing behaviors. (for example, using your brakes to slow down when there is nothing in fr

I’ve been dying for someone to make a Civilization AI. It might not be too crazy of an idea - would love to see a model fine-tuned on sequences of moves. The biggest limitation of video game AI currently is not theory, but hardware. Once ho

uhhh… i would respond differently to your rhetorical question… there’s never been greater distrust of legacy media, and the fact that you can’t trust everything you read on the internet has been a trope for decades

I’m sure there are plenty of useful things to be learned from a certification program, but beyond a certain skill level, they are meaningless on a resume. Actually, at a high level role I’d view it as a negative - it reads like a lack of de

YouTube is a lot less luck and a lot more skill than people realize. If you make good content regularly, your audience will find you. The algorithm is very good at rewarding good content. (It’s also good at rewarding other things, but that

Do you have any examples? I find this hard to believe.
