This comment is full of both a lot of hyperbole and theoretical outcomes that Idk even where to begin. There for one is no guarantee that Anthropic will remain around long enough for them to get to Opus 9 let alone a better model for one. T

No, I don't find it ridiculous: 1. You are not entitled to a website hosting your content. A website refusing to host you is not censorship in any form whatsoever. 2. I'm pretty positive they did this because of infrastructure rea

This is a pretty great strawman of what their actual terms of service and blog post says. You might want to read both quite thoroughly.

Pretty much. Which is why I'm far more concerned about that. So many of the AI doomers are terrified of some super-intelligent autonomous AI doing something on it's own that wipes us out (and, mind you, they have no evidence that

I'm a bit confused about this. As in: how is what cut and paste does right now exactly problematic? And: how does this perform with assistive technologies? Text that is faded out or even invisible visually more often than not is still

Fully agree here. I love MUDs. The shear level of creativity that you can have in an MUD is practically infinite, and MUDs are just so fun to play in general. Especially when you start adding in triggers and sound packs and all that

Either this or you have to do special tricks like pairwise tree reductions and hand-unroll certain portions of loops.

Maybe? I'm not too familiar with Pandoc's internals so I couldn't say. (I do know it supports templates so maybe you could pull it off like that?) Although I'm wondering if you could just have the JSON as input and then

This is so cool! When I initially saw the title I was wondering how this is different from SlideJS or similar, but this is really cool and now I'm wondering if this could (at least in theory) be integrated into something like Pandoc as

I also thought this was hilarious. The very "safety" measures these models have prevented them from doing... Something that is designed to increase safety?

This is nonsense. By this logic some random corporation should have total control over your computer and the inputs you feed it and the outputs it produces to ensure nobody who isn't "verified crazy" uses it. That's esse

I had to read this twice because at first I thought it said that you replaced a $120 bowling system with $1600 in ESP32s and I was like "So you replaced a good-cost system with something more expensive why again?" :D

What places would you suggest where I can get digital copies of that? I don't have a physical CD/DVD reader so... :)

I suffered this same problem with Anthropic, ironically. Mainly with reverse engineering things. That would usually end up requiring a ton of context it had to remember, and then compaction would kick in and it would just forget half of it

Because the youtube video essentially says what the studies do (and it's a developmental psychologist who's giving that talk too). I felt it would be a bit easier to digest than more than 6 separate studies that you'd have to

Because the point applies to the subject of this thread too, that's why. People think that all of this is super easy to just ban by fiat (law) but the problem is that the "simple" solutions oftentimes have harmful downstream

I'm pretty sure the point being made is that things like this are very difficult to actually encode into law in such a way that it doesn't cause significant damage downstream. Like, take the age verification/estimation laws t

The fundamental problem with even the kind of mitigation you suggest is that it just doesn't work. You would need to build some kind of completely dynamic authorization system that could figure out the context of user-provided instruct

Starlink is already over-congested and physics says that it is not possible to scale it up to serve 100000000 subscribers let alone 5-6 billion or more. We would need some kind of physics breakthrough for that to scale properly, and I'

Problem with Scaleway (for me) is physics. I get 200ms (at minimum) roundtrip latency to any of their EU servers (and for their dedicated offerings that can boot custom Linux distros that's pretty much all I have access to).

Given that even Wikipedia effectively restates what he says, I'm pretty sure he's correct here: > Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout "fire" in a theater depends on the circumstances
