"terrible" and "noisy" are both largely subjective, so it would be very hard to bring a defamation suit in the US over those claims.

Google will link you a source, but doesn't explain how the wrong source got linked to an infobox. I think this distinction is somewhat academic. Either system can present users with wrong information without explanation.

I think this is a weird non-issue and it's interesting people are so concerned about it. - Human curated systems make mistakes. - Fiction has created the trope of the omniscient AI. - GPT curated systems also make mistakes. - People ar

It's a lot simpler than that: - it is immoral to genetically experiment on others (especially children) without their consent. - individuals should have the right to attempt to genetically engineer themselves if they wish: if they unde

If a take a dollar from everyone but it's opt out, that's still theft. If I make it opt in, nobody is going to give me the dollar, but that doesn't make opt out morally justifiable.

A fiduciary duty doesn't mean choosing the cheapest thing, it just means the AI can't base decisions off how much of a kickback the AI would receive for making/suggesting that choice.

The key is that AI needs to have a fiduciary duty to its users: it should always suggest the most economically advantageous deal for the user, not what is best for the AI if those are not aligned. Make a marketplace for targeted discounts t

My beliefs have shifted over the past years, and I now think it is likely that AGIs will be SIGNIFICANTLY more moral than the average human leader. Instinctual survival drives continue to steer the human psyche despite some no longer being

I think that may have been more accurate 1-2 decades ago, but I don't think the average superbowl ad in the past couple years has earned much attention.

I suspect handling a tungsten cube delivers very little tungsten into your bloodstream, even if you lick your fingers afterwards. I'd imagine munitions or metalshop grinding/polishing generates many orders of magnitude more micro

"Effective Altruism" is one of those things like "All Lives Matter" where what it says on the box is not reflective of the way that people who identify with the ideology practice it.

Each dalle query is hugely expensive at ~$0.076 . They must have a 1000x markup on the incremental costs. Stable Diffusion is free, locally installable, and you can generate 1000 custom images in an hour. I'm looking forward to LLMs y

Offices cost businesses more than wfh. Petty tyrant bosses will try this, but the rest of the market will continue valuing those workers the same. We should theoretically expect WFH compensation to asymptotically approach getting paid (pro

We are on the verge of "A picture is worth a thousand words" being deterministically quantifiable and testable. I think the politics of art are about to get very weird and interesting. Solid blue is superlative example, but I thin

Some artists images just don't contain much entropy though? If an AI art engine outputs a frame of solid blue, is it infringing the copyright of Yves Klein's solid blue "IKB 79"? I think that some artists' styles ca

If you can sell a book that helps teach someone how to represent themselves, why can't you sell a person access to a robot that helps teach them how to represent themselves? Why is the robot not "speech"?

I believe nitrous oxide can act as an oxidizer, but cannot be used for respiration for a different reason than CO2 (already fully oxidized). But I'm not sure what that reason is: maybe the enzymatic capacity to pull the O off the N2 is
