"open source" as a verb is doing too much work here. are you proposing to release the human readable code or the object/machine code? if it's the latter, it's not the source. it's free as in beer. not freedom.

Thinking/intelligence is like magic, to use Dennett's analogy. Any time a machine can do it, it becomes engineering. It's just a bag of tricks. The circle of true thinking/intelligence is an ever shrinking bag of tricks

it's very easy to achieve great things without coordination if you can just do what's best for yourself and help your peers achieve their collective goals. but they do meet at davos every now and again, without the democratic shac

Could the big names make a ton of money here by selling AI detectors? they would need to store everything they generate, and then provide a % match to something they produced.

it bothers me when this kind of thing needs spelling out in such detail. the initial claim of scapegoating showed an incredibly childish world view and then when it was pointed out what this role was, they doubled down. do people really hol

I moved to the countryside in the last year. it's night and day as compared to the nearby town that I lived in, when it comes to insects and spiders. I constantly find corpses of insects on the window sill and the spiders are chunky, g
