I thought that sounded off, Wikipedia says it's half of all American kids.

Was this also the case back in 1994?

Hey, you're the guy who got the username I wanted. Hell of a coincidence

I wouldn't say it's complete rubbish because that implies there was a plan at all

44000000 / 2000 hours/year = 2200 jobs for 1 year. *50k/year = $110,000,000

Given how many "fundamental" limitations of AI have been resolved within the past few years, I'm skeptical. Even if you're right, I am not sure that the limitations you identified matter all that much in practice. I thin

Forgive me; it was sarcasm. I don't think parent commenter has really thought through what it would mean for billions of people to die.

Maybe they enjoy doing it so the tiny pay doesn't matter too much.

This is sweet. I am glad even if they are not sharply dressed ladies they still take the time to help you.

I would argue that the viewer's eye already provides this effect. Whichever part of the image you focus on is sharp; the rest is indistinct. The result is that we are drawn into the scene better; we see as if our eye were allowed to ro

Billions? Sounds optimistic. Try trillions or quadrillions before anything really changes. Orders of magnitude are just a dime a dozen after all.

I generally endorse that book but I am not sure we are quite so short-sighted. What's necessary is for the people who have power (not just billionaires and politicians, but even the middle class in democracies) to feel that they are in

Attitude towards war depends on context. In 2007 "war" meant "Iraq" which was extremely unpopular, pointless, and had an imperialist flavor. Today "war" means Gaza, Iran, and Venezuela, but it also means Ukrain

True but additional context: Wikipedia says that two came online in 2023 and 2024, and two more are partially constructed, seeking additional funding to continue. Lots more internationally.

I was also curious. Claude answers: https://claude.ai/share/244fc2f5-1c4d-4e52-b316-e9cc34c8b98b I would be interested in a real expert's critique/commentary of this answer. I like the pebble-bed design becau

I think the point is that there's potentially a lot more than $200m in defense dollars at stake here, in the future.

We need our rough men and nuclear weapons because they have theirs. I think I would sleep deeper if no one had them.

Good artists borrow; great artists steal. LLMs synthesizing previous works doesn't mean they're meritless, because humans do the same thing. AI is like a camera. Photographs can be art, but they aren't always. If you prompt a

Adding graphene doesn't extend the support lifespan, it still depends on manufacturers for low-level security patches.

I see a lot of arguing over whether this is "good" or not. This seems like a subjective question. Some people enjoy it, if you don't, it wasn't written for you--don't read it. Maybe the arguing is really over whethe

Seems broken. When I changed my auto-detected phone specs to manually entered desktop specs the recommendations didn't change at all.

Personally, I find it interesting. But I guess "more than you wanted to know" is accurate in your case.

Personally I would have found a website where you enter your hardware specs more useful.

Does "putting them in the agreement" mean "we will never allow them," or "we will not allow them if they are illegal?" Here's a link which says that the DoD was willing to make up with anthropic any time i

This is an interesting perspective, but I think the fallout from sticking to his guns here is probably greater than the public blowback he would receive from serving the DoD. Without this specific sticking point, the public would know that

How do you figure? As of this moment, it doesn't seem any clearer to me that Anthropic is going to win than it was a week ago. Prediction markets show DoD backing down as the most likely outcome, but I don't think they're out

Anthropic has been pushing for commonsense AI regulation. Our current administration has refused to regulate AI and attempted to prevent state regulation. "The government doesn't have control of this technology" is an odd way
