I agree the effect is probably minimal but it is not likely to be zero. The jury is still out, but there is certainly evidence that a person’s spoken language influences at least memory. I don’t remember the details but there have been stud

I used to listen to Kerrang! Radio in the UK when it first launched and they did these super interesting deep dives through an artist's catalogue later on in the evening, where they'd play snippets from songs, interwoven with the

I believe this is a function of age. It is still very important for young people to have affirmation that the music they like is 'cool' or fits the in-group they are trying to be a member of. However, young people generally are no

Hypothetical stabbing, not a real case. > Also, the app they're talking about isn't a thing that records phone calls on your mobile, it's for accessing the call recorder system. That does not seem to be what the article is

My argument is that although robots.txt is a machine-readable way of asserting reservation of use, it's not the only machine-readable way, and the law does not seem to place a burden on the rights-holder to choose a particular '

Hm. That to me seems to be quite a badly written law. Is a copyright notice written in plain German in the website footer 'machine-readable'? Is there some definition of 'machine-readable' somewhere? It's also far f

Maybe the caller is not accusing anyone of anything. Imagine there's a stabbing. The police show up and immediately start questioning bystanders. No-one wants to talk. A detective hands out business cards, and says 'if you remembe

Yes. But if there's a stabbing, a detective comes round knocking on doors and handing out business cards with a mobile number on, I think it's reasonable to have the belief that the call to the mobile is not recorded.

It’s bad because it discourages “off the record” tips given to police officers. Not everyone who talks to a police officer is a criminal.

Maybe I'm a luddite, and I'm not really into technical jazz fusion death metal, but I do like some technical music and some metal music. At least part of the reason I like technical music is because it is challenging to play for t

Interesting that you describe making music that appeals to a wide audience as “trying to cash in”. Would you not say that using an AI to do essentially the same thing, just with the benefit that you don’t really need to pay anyone for creat

UTC is a hilarious acronym precisely because it is not correct in either French or English. In French it would be TUC, in English CUT. Both parties agreed on UTC because it doesn’t give either language primacy. https://en.m.wikip

I disagree to an extent with your example, I’m not sure a child would recognise all cats from a single photograph of a cat, and I’m not sure it would be possible to test this (what child first encounters an image of a cat at the age of thre

It would be impossible to look up anything in a dictionary of infinite length. Therefore, either the question is nonsensical, or there must exist a word (or words) of a maximum length.

Of course not. But ChatGPT is not thinking word by word. If we leave aside the word “thinking” for a second, ChatGPT selects what word, phrase, stanza, etc. comes next based on a broad vocabulary, the specific context of the interaction, in

When you have high levels of confidence that the background will be ocean water and the weather is likely to be decent (or at least, decent enough to be diving), then it may be the case that yellow is more visible. International Orange is d

My tone was flippant but I did mean what I said. I agree with you on this.

I am personally more worried by the concept that potentially humans believe that humans can think, and in reality, what we consider to be intelligence is not much more than a flesh-and-bones LLM.

As far as I understand it, the responsibility is on you to know the law and your rights. If you are required by law to answer a question, you must do so. If you are not required to, you do not have to. What the police tell you has nothing t

Yes. Interesting question. I’d say that in terms of the goriness of the writing, the island is particularly bad. Thematically though, in terms of the series overall, violence, oppression, genocide, torture, are all fairly common, although n
