Not only the users of ChatGPT are affected, also the users of other hosted LLMs, most of which can get the same kind of orders from the jurisdictions they belong to.

Right now, between 200 and 100000 species go extinct each year. Those are the unintentional ones, and the rate is probably growing a we climb the ladder of global warming. Even if we eradicate all mosquitoes species (around 3500) in absolut

I can't imagine how the feedback loop between LLMs optimizing content so it will be picked by LLMs based search engines will end. But it won't be good.

In a globalized internet, your health institutions websites may run through, or depend on (i.e. 3rd party sites, js dependencies, etc) going through Cloudflare. Or emergency services, or whatever. With enough players you go from a side poss

Oh, but there are "surviving" games, as they are still popular, and remixed, and emulated, and things like that. You have a Doom, a Tetris, Pacmans, Marios, even you have new editions of the series of the Monkey Island. That is on

I would put focus in the survivorship bias too. He is looking and the survivors, and trying to figure out why they survived, and not the ones that didn't make it and could had some the same strengths, but still are not around anymore (

I wonder about the cultural effects at large getting the O(n²) most of the funding. That expansive, aggressive and not always safe behavior is promoted, while the slow but solid approach is not. That shapes the ecosystem and the people in i

Consolidate? All in a single place? Information comes from a lot of sources, in a lot of ways to be accessed, and a lot of ways to be shared and with who. A lot are notes or links collections in obsidian. Others may be canvas on slack chann

I loved Pratchett's Hogfather story about little lies. If you as child believe in little lies like tooth fairies and Santa as grown up you will believe in big ones like justice, mercy or duty.

Implementing proper monitoring in a toy system doesn't prepare you to do it in a massive critical system, but at least you may had learn something in the process, and notice things that in big scale may not be as evident. In any case,

I don't think the meaning that you give to that word is the same as the one used in the rest of the world. Democracy is about elections (presidents, referendums, whatever), where every citizen is able to participate and vote freely. An

He is misplacing his concerns. He and the ones like him, to fulfill the "we" there. Oh, in US, for US citizens, intelligence agencies can't do dragnet surveillance. But it seem to be perfectly OK that it does that for the res

The difference between science fiction and fantasy is feeling that it might become possible somewhat, or that it is consistent. In present world our culture has advanced enough to rule out or at least make it too complex things like FTL or

When you realize all that must work (not in the physical world, but in the human one) perfectly for that problem to be solved it becomes very pessimistic. The human part of that book is fantasy, and not a great one. At some point the suspen

The article points out that the 2004 earthquake slowed down Earth's rotation by 2.68 microseconds, vs 0.06 that may slow down when the reservoir is filled at capacity, 50 times less. And the 2004 quake wasn't the only one in this

We are in a climate system with plenty of positive feedback loops. Bringing the system closer to the edge with our emissions, that we might control may trigger massive emissions from the rest of the system, that we may not be able to contro

As a tool, it can be misused. It gives you more power, so your misuses can do more damage. But forcing training wheels on everyone, no matter how expert the user may be, just because a few can misuse it stops also the good/responsible

That brings me memories of Cosmos 1999. The moon left Earth's orbit to outer space because explosions, but being slingshoted away because a nearby massive enough object passing by looks like a more possible scenario, not explored enoug

Maybe not shifting, but adding. Alternative energy sources are being adopted in increasing ways, but in absolute numbers traditional sources keep increasing too.

The problem of RSS feeds on browsers is keeping track of what you already have read in other devices. It can be done, anyway, if you use the same browser everywhere (i.e. Firefox on mobile, tablets, whatever) and it supports that feature. B

Stopping climate change should be the only goal. And by the means of reducing our impact and probably reverse it in the most reverse way without potentially disastrous side effects. Assuming that we will be able to "control" the c

I thought that April's Fools Day was the 1st. Or at least, it looks a lot like the typical announces of that day (i.e. the one by ElevenLabs of this very year). I don't know what to expect from that. I'm not sure if even a co
