None of which is authoritative, per my initial comment.

It was actual work output I generated a few weeks back with Sonnet 5. Not posting here for obvious reasons, but it was nothing special or engineered for Pangram deception.

Yes, quite a bit actually. It's directly analogous to e.g. "Red sky at night, sailors' delight", i.e. a pseudo-scientific approach that probably has a better-than-random success rate.

UBI is not a solution because it will drive up land rents and be eaten by landowners.

It may well be, but also Pangram is ridiculously transparent pseudoscience. Let's not play pretend that it's authoritative, please. Edit: Just for fun I just defeated it with AI-generated text that it reported as 100% human-writte

As a Georgist I'm naturally very sympathetic to anything in this vein, but as you say: dense! What do you believe are the most important contributions here over standard Georgism or Ricardo's theory of rents?

Yes, skills that are actually used count toward token consumption. The question is whether the number of tokens required to achieve a certain behavior/intelligence/quality is equal between you manually providing those tokens via s

What are you confused by? You're saying the same thing they said. They added the additional claim that writing the skills down (apparently) prevents the models from having to self-prompt on the fly and therefore reduces token consumpti

The article describes political implications, and also implies political causes. So it's useful to identify this as not something a journalist or credible outlet would actually put their name to.

Uhhh... the mechanism by which they'd do that is via government regulation. Most of the frontier labs have been openly requesting regulation: "the structure of this competition is not suitable for the development of this particula

The entire problem with arms races is that any individual entity cannot avoid participating. sama and his cadre are uniquely evil captains in this race, but they're completely replaceable and the dynamic would remain the same.

"Free speech absolutists" demonstrably don't even care about free speech for Americans on American soil. "Free speech absolutism" is, in 99.9999% of cases, a euphemism for 1) holding abhorrent views and 2) being a g

Has she tried GLPs? They pretty directly attack the desire to have junk food. Absolutely incredible drugs.

You just listed "inventions" that emerged across a 6,000 year timeframe.

> There are more people now, and all else being equal, there would likely be more stupid people as well, in absolute numbers. That might give someone the impression that things are going downhill. Can you point to a specific observation

If there were stupid people back then and there are still stupid people now, wouldn't the interesting thing be to look at what's different?

Oh, yeah, I was mostly curious why GP said this was the only allowable use of capital punishment.

It was a question. I'll rephrase it: do you consider yourself socialist or communist?

You sound like a disgruntled tankie, no? Is that what's happening here?

But is that the only way to produce harm of that scale?

"Assume humans are different; therefore humans are different" is not a very compelling argument. There is literally zero (zilch, nada, zip) evidence for free will, which is the actual distinction I believe you're trying to ma

What's the argument for that? That seems rather arbitrary.

The vast majority of "civilian crimes" are crimes of passion, desperation, or being actually mentally incapable of reasoning about consequences. That is not what these crimes are nor who commits them. These people actually tend to

No, I don't believe that is their stated purpose. It's to share stories from across the spectrum and then emphasize how differently they're reported or not-reported. That does not necessarily imply giving equal airtime or equ

Have you considered Googling? Or is this the type of curiosity that one just offloads to others? https://fieldreport.caes.uga.edu/publications/TP121/how-data...

Huh... I'm super liberal (not so progressive necessarily) and I enjoy Ground News a lot. I don't feel like it gives an impression of both-sideism at all, and that's something I'm quite sensitive to?
