Yeah, it would be way better if they just released it right away, so that political campaigns can use AI generated videos of their opponents doing horrible/stupid things right before an election and before any of the general public has

Yes, but the point is that in a few years, there won't be a difference. Those clickbait accounts already exist for AI generated images. How many impressionable or young people have been fooled into believing history that never happened

My guess is that offenders abuse relatives because they are easier to access and manipulate, not because there is a true preference there. More a crime of opportunity than a pursued goal.

I think you're making the same point, but just to make it more obvious - all of that is more an indictment of modern neoliberal business practices than it is of Bob's Red Mill. Sustainability, efficiency (in terms of doing things

I think people are being incredibly disingenuous when they imagine that the government won't abuse this power to censor and harm marginalized communities. Many states are trying to remove LGBT books from school libraries for being &qu

Is talking to other people online really so bad that we need the government to step in and tell us who we can and can't talk to? How quickly will that power expand to what we can and can't talk about? I agree that neither solution

The biggest problem with this is how we would define "porn". Some states are currently redefining the existence of a transgender person in public as an inherently lewd act equivalent to indecent exposure. I have no doubt that if

"Tolerate" is a funny word, as though consumers actually have a choice about what price they pay and/or can forego buying groceries until prices fall, if ever. I can't simply choose not to eat for an undetermined period

I would compare the AI in the "inventor" question to a set of dice. Suppose you have a set of dice that when rolled generates an idea for an invention. If an idea is rolled that is unique enough to secure a patent, who is the &quo

I remember it sometimes being in the options menu and sometimes not (and sometimes showing up but disabled). Maybe there were a different combination of versions or graphics cards that produced those different results. Perhaps earlier versi

If the self driving system were worth it's salt, it wouldn't matter if the drivers weren't paying attention. Ergo, the system sucks, or is at the very least not nearly as good as Tesla likes to tout.

I understand where you're coming from, but the effect of rules like that is to essentially create a system where spying on people with towelhook cameras is totally legal and easily doable unless you happen to get caught. Most laws coul

Depends on the coworker. I would say that I trust ChatGPT code much less than the average coworker, because coworkers usually don't do something like use imaginary variables or check-in code that doesn't compile.

As a software engineer and artist, Krita feels more focused on drawing/painting with a pen, while GIMP has always felt to me as more focused on photography/editing. Obviously they both manipulate images so there's lots of ove

The idea of my agent and Google's customer service agent babbling at each other in endless futility and failing to solve a problem that two humans could solve together in 15 minutes is a dystopian hell. But it will be celebrated as a

A coincidence. Like, it's a bit sarcastic, sure, but until factuality is explicitly built into the model, I don't think we should use any terminology that implies that the outputs are trustworthy in any way. Until then, every out

It is still a hallucination even if the words it hallucinates happen to line up with a factual sentence, in the same way that a broken clock happens to correctly display the time twice a day. The function of the clock does not suddenly beg

Completely agreed, and honestly, sometimes we need to have frank conversations about true horrors and abhorrent behaviors that exist in the world. I hate to pull the Orwell card, but I fear that the normalization of this technology would

How could you possibly call the largest encyclopedia in human history, freely accessible to all, and correct nearly all of the time irrelevant ? There are imperfections to Wikipedia and the Foundation of course, but, what more can you reas

I'm not really sure how these are related at all. Technical innovations for electric vehicles are totally different than the technical innovations required for fighting climate change. We can be poised to make progress in one sector

A slightly different reframing of this idea makes it even more clear to me: When you make a choice, you divide the doors into two sets: the set containing your choice, and the set containing the other doors. Obviously your set has a 1&#x2F

I agree that it feels weird at first, but thinking about it this way fixed that for me: The whole reason for the apparent paradox is having the "50/50" choice at the end. You either keep the door you picked, or swap with the

Victimhood can be passed through generations if the parents' harm was not remedied. Merely ending harm does not remedy it. If someone is prevented from getting a home loan, job, raise, education, etc. because of racist policies, that a

I think you have a bad media diet if you think any of those are actual problems in the real world and not just straw men made by provocateurs stirring the pot. Honestly though, I would prefer an AI that was strictly neutral about anything o

by diputsmonro 3y ago
Yes, thank you. AI is dangerous, but not for the sci-fi reasons, just for completely cynical and greedy ones. Entire industries stand to be gutted, and people's careers destroyed. Even if an AI is only 80% as good, it has <1% of t

Yeah, it's an arms race, and OpenAI does stand to lose. But this is a prisoner's dilemma situation. OpenAI can shut themselves down, but that doesn't fix the problem of someone creating a dangerous situation, as everyone els

I mean, yeah, that sounds good. It wouldn't affect your ability to think for yourself and spread your ideas, it would just put boundaries on AI. I've seen a lot of people completely misunderstand what chat GPT is doing and is capa

Precisely! I'm much less concerned about super-intelligent AIs and much more concerned with shortsighted, greedy humans using pretty-good AIs (like those we have now) to squeeze out every ounce of profit from our already misaligned sys
