Eep, I've had much better luck than you! My bigger concern for tugs would be whether the plug or the socket broke first, I think, though I don't know what fares better by that metric

"No sense" seems like a strong claim. USB-C is a better plug (reversible, durable). I don't know how much more expensive USB-C might be, but considering the number of cheapo devices that come with an unwanted cable with at le

For what it's worth, I mentioned they _contain_ the knowledge to try to avoid discussions about whether they really "know" anything -- if there's a better term like 'information about the world' or something, I

No, you're overindexing on the name. It doesn't mean that these LLMs are about linguistics and grammar specifically. Clearly, they aren't as likely to generate "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" as "It&#x2

They're going through normal bankruptcy stuff and may liquidate the Anthropic stake. It looks at this point like there's likely going to be money enough to pay all creditors, which is just hilarious.

EA isn't a form of act utilitarianism. Though EA certainly has a consequentialist flavor, it isn't the case that all (or even most?) EAs endorse utilitarianism (utilitarians aren't the only ones who care about scale). For exa

This is a pretty odd remark. The effect of living with one kidney isn't some sort of unknown thing we need to reason about from first principles, we know pretty well what life is like for kidney donors. And I don't know about &#x2

I think usefulness is a different question than capabilities. "LLMs can't do X" is an interesting claim, and it takes some level of systematic work to make it. If the capability exists at all, this is interesting, even if it&
