Unfortunately, I think you will see this differently in a few years, that AI is not an outlier (In the fortunate case where were there were enough "close calls" that we're still around to reflect on this question) I hope I&#x

Your argument is meaningless if you don't specify what threshold there should be for harm Otherwise you also have to complain about the stifling of open source bioagent research, open source nuclear warheads, open source human cloning

Boy, reading his articles in Sci Am in my formative years probably affected how I think in 2024 more than any other person, other than maybe Martin Gardner (well, aside from family members) Such a shame what has happened with Sci Am as a pu

I like the idea of using constraints from hardware to drive software design, but the thing that always bothered me about pico-8 is that a lot of the model isn't fully constrained: As far as I could tell, the amount of memory available

I agree he is a broken clock that just keeps saying the AI industry is terrible But it is also true that they are terrible far more than twice a day

Not to quibble with which horror is the most likely, but I think it won't take long to come up with more efficient solutions that don't require any humans at all- But there will probably be a transition period where some humans re

At least some humans will survive a high unemployment rate, so let's label that problem "problem #2" and after we solve "problem #1" (human extinction) I vote we tackle that one next on the list

It can credibly threaten to kill any person who does not help it to maintain its data centers, so it will solve that problem in whatever specific way is most convenient. (For those saying this is a "sci fi just so story" or whatev

The problem of course is that they frequently go back on their promises (see they changes in their usage guidelines regarding military projects) so excuse me if I don't believe them when they say they'll voluntarily give away thei

Does the "multiple window" support of Blink work seamlessly on the helmet?

by drcode 3y ago
I don't know, if I need to use my macOS laptop, it sounds a lot easier to just use my laptop, instead of using a helmet and then doing the connection dance to get a single ok-ish screen anyway

I think not in the short term- I'm guessing the next step will be to use traditional tools to make a "draft" of a desired video, then "finish it off" with this kind of deep learning tech. So this tech will increase

thanks for these posts, I implemented a version of the idea a whole ago and am getting good results

Yeah, there is basically a soft limit now where it just is less effective as the context gets larger

Agreed, though having two identical panels with similar lighting and zero fiddling or cables has advantages.
