But pro-education is an ideology. It always was.

To be fair, it likely will not be a dark age. The reality is that our companies will still be able to hire scientists from foreign universities. There's still Tsinghua. The Germans rolled deep at a Harvard get together I was at and nea

More accurate to say they should get access to drugs that contain the actual molecules they are advertised to have across markets. You shouldn't be able to sell what is basically sugar water in Somalia and call it cyclophosphamide. Tha

I understand the point you're trying to make. However, I wanted to point out that Wikipedia being one-third porn/obscene content is unlikely in the extreme.

I dont know why people seem to care so much about llm safety. That's kind of an odd question? To me it's obvious that people want to make money. And the corps that write the 9 figure advertising checks every year have expectatio

I don't think it's that surprising. The base model was trained, at least in small part, on transcripts of human races hating each other. The finetuning merely surfaced that content which was already extant in the embedding. ie - g

I believe the point HN User gchamonlive is making is that the mangled hands were already in the blender. The base model was trained, in part, on mangled hands. Adding rotten fruit merely changed the embedding enough to surface the mangled h

Because only the biologist knows what assays to ask the super human intelligence for. And how the results affect the biomolecular process you want to look at. If you can’t ask the right questions, like everyone without a phd in biology, you

I don't know man? Gonna have to disagree there. A lot of models are being used to reallocate cognitive burden. A phd level biologist with access to the models we can envision in the future will probably be exponentially more valuable t

We don't even need to go back that far. All these arguments could be made for, say, news media, or social media. AI being singled out is a bit disingenuous. If it is dehumanizing, it is because our collective labor, culture, and knowle

Well true. That's the fallacy in the given argument.

A lot of the current drop has decriminalization of drugs as a contributing factor. Same principle.

Rapidly declining numbers of youth are committing crimes, getting arrested, and being incarcerated Well also, the number one crime these youths were getting arrested for was drug possession. With drug trafficking being second. 15 years ag

closer to farms than DC Exactly why it shouldn't be there. No adversarial environment. Corruption flourishes where there is no adversarial environment.

It's a horrible place to move it to. If we make moves, Ok. How about this.. We move these agencies to get adversarial impulses going in service of cost control. We move the USDA to the middle of New York City. Urban Development to Toma

The political desire to prop up federal projects for the local jobs is exactly the reason they want to do the moves. It's corruption all the way down. The corruption isn't an unintended consequence of the moves. The ability to eng

Not familiar with how Norway works? But I am familiar with the US. We have so much corruption that it's a virtual certainty any moves of the kind you postulate would be precipitated by a desire for more and easier access to corruption.

Even the AI experts are the usual suspects. The techies making money are the AI experts. The real AI experts. Not the TF/PyTorch monkeys. There's actually a massive and underappreciated difference between the two groups of peopl

Well, companies, by and large, started and funded by.. incumbents. That said, I think that's just how reality works.

No one uses iMessage in Europe.

by bilbo0s 1y ago
Let's be honest about what they're targeting.. the problem is US tech dominance. So Europe sees a need to break that sooner or Later. So yes, the list of companies to rein in has as many companies as they need to affect the securi

This is the way. Boycotts are the one democratic practice that hits a company's bottom line. Just ask Target.

Sorry, what do you guys mean by "been there, done that"? Do you mean that you're slave descended black americans, and, in the case of HN User mistrial9, therefore speak for most of the slave descended black americans in coast

Easier to steal elections? Don't have to bother with gerrymandering, or slick legal ways to arrest people for voting with the wrong documents. Or just good old fashioned intimidation, like making the polling place the police station or

Why would anyone in Europe, know when the slaves in the US were freed? Or even when the slaves in Brazil were freed? Or Peru? Or Colombia? Or Cuba? I mean won't every nation have its own history and important days? And it seems to me t

Not to put too fine a point on it, but maybe that's why black Americans celebrate Juneteenth instead? Kind of makes sense to me.

Might kind of point to real life people having too much of what is now called, "rationality" , and very little of what used to be called "wisdom" ?

They won't be allowed to use it unless they serve the capitalists who own it. It's not social media. It's a model the capitalists train and own. Best the rest of us will have access to are open source ones. It's like t

Just checked. The problem is the railroads were purchased by the winners. Who turned out to be the existing winners. Who then went on to continue to win. On the one hand, I guess that's just life here in reality. On the other, man, rea
