In high school math class our teacher swapped out all the symbols in the epsilon delta definition of limits, and asked us what this equation expresses, and many students struggled to interpret it. I don't think this test shows that an

The big one was definitely ChatGPT upon release in 2022 and specifically when people showed how it can role play as a Linux terminal and you can narrate events like "the data enter is now on fire" and "run" nvidia-smi, i

Thanks, that makes sense.

I think it's neither made up, nor actual health care. It's basically a replacement for having cultural and social guard rails, lots of community, lots of straightforward expectations of roles etc. Today, people are atomized and lo

That's rubber ducking. Or talking to yourself in the shower. Just feels less silly, because in theory you could have read the response.

I guess one can argue it's a novel form of (secular) divination, like tarot, except you have no idea what sort of intentions have shaped the AI during fine tuning, and by trusting it too much, you basically get puppeteered subtly by th

I once saw the livestream of jury selection in a big trial and read up on the whole thing and it seemed like such an obviously weak point of the whole process. The whole language around the concepts that underpin it seem totally ignorant of

It seems that the selection process optimizes for either liars or dumb people who are easiest to emotionally manipulate. If you appear very reflective and capable of complex thought, you're a risk. You could've said, you're o

I asked about your comment that I replied to. The "stories" you see in the camera positioning would need elaboration. To me the concept sounds quite mundane. It's pointed at something they want to see. Cash register: see if s

I thought jurors don't decide the sentence length, just the (not) guilty verdict. Are you implying they were testing whether you're willing to let the judge use the entire span of sentencing available in law? Otherwise I'm no

Then which kind? If you mean political resistance, that's easier to surveil from phones and chat apps and gps, not cameras.

Also the gorilla example from many years ago makes it seem like the author just superficially follows this stuff from the media. It was a single instance of misclassification in a widely deployed photo categorization model, not some reprodu

Do you mean trying to catch employee theft vs theft by externals? Why can't you write plainly instead of in riddles?

Elected lawmakers and courts.

I think it's clear what it means but indeed it's formulated in a critical theory framework (see also "male gaze" in feminist theory) that makes it seem more complicated. Yes, they take camera images and videos and there

Also the ads are not just classical ads for coca cola or a mattress sale, but people and organizations paying to boost their content in the feed, which can be all kinds of manipulation, political, but also more organic looking brand managem

Right. If you're spending your time among developers to whom the code part is second nature, the differentiating thing becomes domain knowledge. If you spend your time among people of that domain who have no coding skill, to them it wi

We already have enough good GTA games, 3, VC, SA. I'm fine without GTA6 ever getting released. It's unlikely to be as good as SA anyway, so whatever.

Bread, circus, strife, anger, hopelessness, antinatalist cultural products and it doesn't need anything aggressive or spectacular. People will just cease to reproduce seemingly of their own will. South Korea to the nth power.

by bonoboTP 5mo ago
It doesn't have to be all that dramatic. Just ensure that they don't reproduce at replacement level. In fact that's already happening. Crank it up a bit more, make things South Korea++ and it's just not a problem. If nob

I won't deny the comfort value of yachts and private jets, but I doubt that this material comfort is the main value proposition of these things. Instead, it's status symbols, status above slightly less rich people. The yachts are

The problem is worse than it seems when it's phrased like it's all about some evil far away up there billionaires. It's a bit like discovering when a corrupt country is not purely corrupt due to its leadership but the whole t

In math they often still skip those motivation, related work overview stuff and just do some math. But I actually do think it's good to force people to think about the "why" question a lot.

Well, the part you can control is the effort, so there's not much use in worrying about the other two. But it's mostly a feel-good white lie.

It's making stupid flowcharts in the web chat interface with boxes and arrows, embedded in the response. Annoying.

To me 4.5 was mindblow, 4.6 noticeable, 4.7 more like a style/personality change regarding how much it asks back, how much it assumes, how eager it is to jump to action etc but not really in terms of my perception of its smartness.

Somehow I find that interacting with AI doesn't make me feel the same way as diving through Wikipedia rabbit holes. With AI it feels more like, it starts saying how there is indeed an answer to some science question I was unsure about,

I can't comment on cleaning toilets as a job (luckily I don't have to do that), but cleaning at home does provide a sense of accomplishment similar to solving a coding task elegantly and cleanly, while uninvolved AI-assisted codin
