Not everything needs to be a single giant neural network. You could have a bunch of weakly coupled specialized networks sending data back and forth over a normal api.

People focusing on the use of this in video games baffles me. The point isn't that it can regenerate a videogame world, the point is that it can simulate the _real world_. They're using video game footage to train it because it&

You do the same thing at a larger scale, and instead of video game footage you use a few million hours of remote controlled drone input in the real world.

AI companies are already paying humans to produce new data to train on and will continue to do that. There's also additional modalities -- they've already added text, video, and audio, and there's probably more possible. Ri

IMO we should have had more draconian lockdowns much sooner, when it would have slowed the spread more effectively, and we should have opened up much more quickly once the initial wave went through and it was clear that it had already sprea

Computers have been able to do mathematical calculation and logical deduction cheaply and perfectly for decades, and it's not really required for generative AIs to be able to do it for them to be useful. It's good enough if they

It turns out that "The remedy for bad speech is more speech" doesn't actually scale globally. You can blame this on Russian and/or Chinese disinformation ops and tik-tok, etc, but the problem is more general than that.

"The novel" is a relatively recent invention and a large part of its popularity had to do with the economics of book printing. Most people do not consume text (or information in general) through printed books any more, and it mak

This is silly. If there's a lot of investment in something, there's going to be a lot of fraud. That doesn't mean it's all fraud or it's mostly fraud, or that there's even a significant amount of fraud.

This test does not require theory of mind or test for "theory of mind" because there are many people who have a well formed theory of mind who cannot solve this problem, and well formulated, it can be solved by a simple logic prog

Spend a few minutes with the multi-modal models and you can figure it out. It'll probably be closer to the humane AI pin, but with a better design (no stupid projector) and a better version of the model backing it.

They definitely did think English was not a language worth engaging with. Even literate people in England barely thought of English as a language worth studying -- they wrote everything in Latin. Certainly the Norman conquerers only bothe

It's not a very interesting concept if it's limited to one place and time. I think you can abstract a lot of the features of the languages originally classified as creoles and apply them where-ever they make sense. Personally I w

That's just the low hanging fruit. People are going to be moving further up the "intelligence" stack as systems integrating AI get more sophisticated.

Inference costs many many times less than training. I think we may end up with one more round of training a larger foundational model, and then it's going to have to wait for new, cheaper, more efficient hardware. It's quite pos

I generally like it, but anytime I bump up against the guidelines, which you do if you want to do basically anything fun at all (singing!) is the most obnoxious experience, because it feels 10x worse coming from a fake smiling personality t

I wonder if this is something generally true for all BB's and if Collatz-like functions represent some kind of of limit of decidability.

> By the way Conway proved [0] that any computer program can be rewritten in the form of these collatz like functions. So they are pretty prowerful. I don't think that article supports that claim, but maybe I'm misunderstanding

It's arguable that every major conflict of the 20th century was over resources required by the combustion engine -- fossil fuels and rubber, in particular.

The collapse of Russia would also be the result of normalization of deviance. Russia is operating way outside of it's "normal" geopolitical parameters. But seems to be going on as if nothing is going wrong.

One place that I see this happening is the Ukraine/Russia conflict where just because there hasn't been a nuclear exchange yet, people assume that there won't be, and keep pushing the line on acceptable escalation (on both si

You can't take Lebanon's report on who the injured were at face value. I've not doubt that innocent people were injured by this, but it's not _thousands_ of innocent people.

This tool makes it relatively easy to find cost savings, and also to do chargebacks. Most kubernetes clusters waste tons of compute for no reason at all.

The ancient greeks when listening to Homer, would be quite familiar with the story already, having heard the stories over and over since they were children, and very few of them probably ever experienced the story from "the beginning&#
