Won't the human engagement be replaced by AI engagement too? if it isn't already being replaced?

This constant redefinition of what AGI means is really tiring. Until an AI has agency, it is nothing but a fancy search engine/auto completer.

I asked Gemini today to replace the background of a very simple logo and it refused. ChatGPT did it no problem (though it did take a long time because apparently lots of people were doing image generation). I guess Gemini just refused becau

So let me get this straight... he's not happy with the UK because of VAT (value added tax) and he's also not happy with the UK because of tax breaks? Amazing.

Speaking of Gibraltar, it's interesting that its electricity grid isn't connected to Spain/EU's grid. So they are completely unaffected.

A social network where each participant is guaranteed to be a human. It's a tricky problem but I think I've got a pretty good first prototype[1]. 1 - https://onlyhumanhub.com

It's depressing that most startups fail whereas some rich kid can just scam people into giving him money to make his startup "successful".

Well, I built the site. I agree that trust is a problem. I try to be as transparent as possible around how your passport data is used and what is stored in the database. Far more than what ordinary banks/trading apps say when they ask

I agree. That’s why onlyhumanhub doesn’t expect you to share your name. The passport verification is there to ensure you are a unique human, but the name of that human is not stored. I’m perfectly happy talking to someone without knowing th

1 passport = one human Yes, this does mean that dual nationals can have two separate human accounts. But it’s still better than an infinite number of accounts, which is the case for social networks right now.

Why would AI be any better at filtering out spam than developers have so far been with ML? The only way to avoid spam is to actually make a social network for humans, and the only way to do so is to verify each account belongs to a single h

I find it odd how many people continue to try and give this man the benefit of the doubt. Is it just hope? Hope that there is some grander plan and not just Trump doing stupid things that will in fact make everything worse because he's

I read this and it offers no lessons at all. Just seems to be a retelling of the history. So the title of this article seems like click bait, unless I missed something.

There is a freaking video. There is no "exaggeration" or possibility of it being false. The video shows he clearly did a Nazi salute.

The sad thing is that this really does solve a problem that GenAI is creating. Sam Altman is selling the poison as well as the cure. I think we will eventually all need to join social networks that are guaranteed to be composed of real huma

Yeah, and this is why we capture the country that issued the passport we verified. Worst case we can add a feature that allows users to share which passport country they used. And yes, this will mean that Russian users will be screwed unfor

Hmm, I'm not using verifiable signatures though. Surely there will continue to be a way for a third party to verify that a passport's NFC is authentic and can be trusted. That and the ability to pull some data off it is all I need

No solution is perfect unfortunately. Even biometric login is easily duped, you can just hire a bunch of workers to pass the biometric check. Certainly much cheaper than bribing poor people to scan passports, eventually you'll run out

How often does something like this happen? In that scenario there are a number of options though, one of which is just putting a banner on accounts that are impacted.

I don't really think being resistant to evil governments is within scope here. Using passports isn't perfect, but practically speaking it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now which is a free for all.
