There's a lot of automation, but it's the same situation with "self driving" cars. Until you get to nearly 100% trustworthy full automation, you need people actively making decisions constantly, so automation is mostly

Everything is heavily automated right now up to and including autopilot landings. The people are in the loop to cover the gaps where automation doesn't exist or when it fails. Everything is so tightly scheduled at airports now that a

The fundamental problem with rationalism and just using pure reason and logic in general is that logic has no (necessary) connection to reality. It's a game played with symbols, and how you choose to map concepts and things in reality

The thing is that AIs are also good at mimicking informal/off-the-cuff speech, too. And people are lazy, so they'll fall back on "casual" cliches, which AIs (and consultant-driven politicians) will be just as good at mi

AIs actually are very good at this. They wouldn't be able to write code at all otherwise. If you're careful in your prompting, they'll make fewer assumptions and ask clarifying questions before going ahead and writing code.

I think you're putting way too much thought into what is basically a comedy bit.

It used to be the case that speaking in that register was a strong signal of a social pedigree and an expensive education. Now it's a signal of people being brainless and easily replaceable. You're also seeing it in politics wher

I think he's right that there's a place for a more structured AI programming UI, but chat and autocomplete are also good for a lot of use cases.

Something that may not be clear when reading this is the distinction between complex numbers and the ring of integers adjoined with i . "Complex numbers" are of the form a+bi where a and b can be any real number -- 1, 5, pi, the

The way the market reacted is completely illogical. If Nvidia announced a new chip that was 10x more effective at the same price, the market would be like WOW they're going to sell so many of those! But a software advance that achieves

Weird framing for this story, it's not an ancient find -- it was from the modern era, and not really part of the silk road, which A) probably never really existed in the way people imagine it and B) definitely didn't exist at the

I've been tremendously disappointed by how chickenshit corporations have been this time.

Asking LLMs about spelling is like asking people to echolocate or navigate using the earth's magnetic field. They can't see it. It's a sense about the world that they don't have.

Just keep in mind that Plato and (especially) Socrates made a living by going against commonly held wisdom at the time, so this probably wasn't an especially widely held belief in ancient greece.

And they can actually trace the development of writing in Mesopotamia all the way back to impressions of tokens on clay balls used for keeping track of IOUs.

You can still install the app on your phone. Tik Tok just can't do business in the US any more.

EU governments also spy in the US. Any government that isn't spying on their enemies and allies both is incompetent. The reason that the EU "adheres to US directives" is mostly just a legacy of WWII and the Cold War, you don

That something is allowed doesn't mean that it's guaranteed in the constitution. In that particular case, it was a result of an agreement with the Soviet government that allowed us to publish Amerika magazine in the USSR. https:&

RedNote falls afoul of the exact same law and will probably be banned soon after TikTok.

An EU controlled app would be allowed in the US as none of them are foreign adversaries.

Try doing this while you're driving with the gpt4o advanced audio mode. It's a nice way to kill 40 minutes or so without having to look at a screen. Just tell it you want to play an RPG with it, give it a setting, describe your

The old gpt2 engine that used to drive AI Dungeon had the opposite problem, it was obviously trained on a ton of really bad fan fiction and would frequently either shift into filthy erotica or some kind of hyper violent serial killer story,

The main problem with doing this on chatgpt is that it is _relentlessly_ cheerful and it's almost impossible for it to produce any kind of interpersonal drama or threat or danger. I tried to get it to run space opera about a diplomatic

This is true, but that was a one or two year phenomenon, driven by BLM protests, and at the end of it, ended with white people still having a disproportionate share of senior and management positions.

Some of them think that. The problem with trying to "explain" this is that fundamentally, flat-earthers, to the extent that they could be said to have a coherent world view at all, are usually a kind of occasionalist[1]. They don

Somewhat hilariously, I just asked chatgpt 4o with web access, and it found this blog post, and then authoritatively repeated verbatim the same wrong answer he was given from ChatGPT on reddit. https://chatgpt.com/share&#x2F
