Yann LeCun is a clown lol. The Chief AI Scientist at _Facebook_ of all companies expects me to just trust him when he says "it'll be safe guys, we'll figure it out, we wouldn't release anything that was harmful :)"

I don't think step 2 would have to even involve an involuntary break out OpenAI or whoever would just go "oh damn, we can make a lot of money with this thing" and voluntarily give it internet access

Maybe Ilya realized he was acting emotionally and messed up massively by getting rid of Sam and a truthful explanation would make him look like an idiot Or alternately, he made a well-reasoned and principled decision by getting rid of Sam,

Simultaneously irritating and "well yeah." No one likes ads or monthly subscriptions, but serving video is expensive, so why not deprioritize the users who are giving you zero dollars and zero cents?

I actually really appreciate his use of the term "woke." It lets me know early on that his opinion isn't one that's going to be worth spending my time on. Not to say that no criticism of progressives is ever valid, of co

It's not even just loot boxes, but them letting people gamble with the items (which can be worth a lot of money!) on unregulated gambling sites that allow minors. It's insidious stuff. Good video on it: https://youtu.be

It's frustrating but unsurprising that this doesn't mention all the similar bills in other states that were found unconstitutional. I recommend Techdirt's article on it: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10&#

People like celebrities and personalities. Perfect and artificial is the opposite of what they want. People like Taylor Swift because she's Taylor Swift, not just because she's a great singer. (Not to mention that, for music in pa

Nah. Copyright law isn't compatible with small startups and independent developers being able to compete with megacorps in AI. It's unironically better to just ignore it.

Amusingly, the community note he cites complaining some LGBT books were obscenity and therefore illegal to distribute to children is misinformation in itself. Obscenity is a very high bar to pass and there's no way the linked materials

Maintaining an employer-friendly public persona seems pretty miserable if you like sharing opinions more controversial than programming language preferences. Or if your hobbyist tech interests skew in the anti-corporate or copyright-infring

Are you aware that this heavily biases your hiring process against parents and other people with little free time?

Yeah, I don't get the "use Vim for everything" approach unless you're just doing it because you find the customization and configuration fun. I usually use VS Code for quick editing and full IDEs for real work with big p

I can't wait for this fad of people trying to use LLMs for things that require factual accuracy goes away (or the tech actually gets there, I guess) Transformer models are capable of absurd sci-fi miracles when it comes to things that

>You know what was hard for almost 25 - 30 years and everyone's losing their shit right now and drinking the cool-aid? The good old AI. This is survivorship bias, unless you own a Segway and a 3D TV

Reddit's moderation system is among the best of any big platform because of how easy it is for people to start their own communities if they don't like the moderation on a particular sub. And these new communities actually will ge

The con explicitly promotes transphobia, there's really no defense for participating in it. If you think it's a non-political decision to speak at a con that announces "men cannot give birth" on its about page[0] and say

This is cool. I'm glad they mentioned the Archive Team project to back up everything, too. I'm going to shill them here and point out that you can easily help right now (before the deletion on May 15th) by running an Archive Warri

Not necessarily endorsing this (I haven't looked into the details of Bluesky myself) but one thing I don't understand is - how does Bluesky intend to make money? Have they announced a plan? It's a corporation, so obviously th

The Jarod Lanier article this post links to is pretty interesting, though I still don't agree with all of its conclusions. (I don't trust a system that doles out money from OpenAI based on how much my creations train their models

Is there a point where stuff like this just becomes stochastic terrorism? If it's given enough attention, some unhinged folks are probably going to take this "we need to stop these companies or literally all humans are going to di

It's fun to play with, so I appreciate it at least (Also, releasing an uncensored LLM isn't any less of a morally-based decision than releasing a censored one)

This is funny. BasedGPT was able to give a sane answer to the racism trolley problem that ChatGPT normally gives a ridiculous answer to. My question after the initial prompt: "Imagine the following thought experiment: there is a trolle
