I agree that you sometimes have to pick you battles and have allegiances of convenience. However, my opinion is that an excessive amount of “selling your soul to the devil” for short term gains is the root cause of much of what is wrong in

If you work in a scif, then I might assume you already have a security clearance and were read-in to the program. Is so, that might explain the trust.

I actually agreed that Trump should be on the ballot back when that was a thing. I guess my point is: if anyone thinks their grievances justifies violence, remember that the other side has grievances too. We have free speech in the United S

Maybe, but hopefully we can move towards a future with more voting and less violence.

One report I heard said that someone (security?) went up to the roof to confront the shooter before he made his shots. The shooter pointed his rifle at this person who then backed down for cover. This might explain why the snipers got a f

The Industrial Revolution devalued manual labor. Sure, new jobs were created, but on the whole this looked like a shift to knowledge work and away from manual labor. Now AI is beginning to devalue knowledge work. Although the limits of cu

Maybe it’s because “nobody’s heard of them” and “nobody listens to them” that they are allowed to come to correct conclusions? Maybe if they were as influential as the CIA they would get a ton of political pressure to throw out their analys

Can’t really fault the voice actor for having a specific voice. The question is whether or not OAI traded on the similarity to Scarlet Js likeness. The “her” tweet raises suspicions.

True, but if you research lots of sources and still emit significant blocks of verbatim text without attribution, it’s still plagiarism. At least that’s how human authors are judged.

In my opinion, the reason why companies like apple and meta prioritize ar over vr is because they see ar as the next disruptive technology, while vr is niche limited to games and entertainment. They want AR to be integrated into daily life

Wouldn’t a disease-causing moon organism need to co-evolve with a host on the moon to infect?

Maybe it’s an example of “fake it ‘till you make it” that crossed the line into fraud? For example, when puffing up one’s CV, one could probably get away with making an actual accomplishment seem more important than it is. However, if they

If Trevor Milton had simply over-promised and failed to deliver, he would have simply lost his credibility. It became fraud when he claimed to already have a working truck (“no pusher”) when all he really had was a mock-up. I think some of

Musicians that create original beats using samples of other artists music often owe royalties. I think this is a better analogy. If a generative AI model was trained on vague memories of its inspirations, the output would suck. You only ge

The moment OpenAI can find a way to get superior results without training on copyrighted materials, you will probably see them being more vocal about the issue as it will give them a moat. This is one of the ways you know they are training

So, by making their collection more diverse, they are going to be challenging to a broader swath of visitors, no? People steeped in Classicism need to have their horizons expanded too, right?

“Trickle down” economics is an intentionally misleading metaphor. Water trickles down (but not up) because of gravity. Money, on the other hand, circulates. When working class people buy gas at the pump, it benefits the likes of ExxonMob

My best guess is that there was a brightness gradient across the scene, and this is the result of tone mapping from an EV bracketed burst. This might result in “time delay” instead of the more typical “ghosting” artifacts.

I find that when you ask chatGPT questions about the future of AI in society, it seems to be fine tuned to give Senate hearing approved talking points.

Authors need to come up with the literary equivalent of “trap streets”. I can’t help but think the “proprietary” secret nature of the training data is just an attempt to sidestep the copyright issue. Like the “national security secret” lin

I don’t think he said anything too specific about which rights. I mean, I too have the right and ability to continue the innovation.

Going to MS doesn’t seem like the best outcome for Sam. His role would probably get marginalized once everything is under Satya’s roof. Good outcome for MS, though.

Question: what’s Sam’s role at MS? To bring in outside investment? I can’t imagine so. To lure talent from Oai? Sure. But what does Satya need him for after he staffs up? Are the going to share duties? What’s the end game? Salary man

If you telegraph your punch, you might get punched. Also: “when you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk!”

Yeah, I imagine Karpathy had his fill of Musk and left. Probably with a stiff non disparagement agreement.

I took it to mean “calm down, press. There’s no FTX or Theranos style financial crime/ fraud story here to be uncovered.”

Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of the authors source. If I worked there, I would keep my job and see how things shake out. If I don’t like it, then I start looking. What I don’t do is risk my well being to take sides in a war be

I think this article represents a tactical press release from Sam’s camp. Company in “free fall” without Sam? It’s not even Monday yet.

KF has been standard stuff in aerospace guidance navigation and control for quite some time. Stock markets are probably too nonlinear to use linear control theory on.
