From my perspective it felt like understanding that the machine has no desires helped refine my usage. I can ask it to be curious, and it will reply with what people think curiosity should look like, but it’s a simulation of an emotion it w

The general public isn’t that relentlessly amoral.

The "western world" has a fairly strict moral compass in the sense that you can't uncross certain lines. There isn't nuance to this situation.

A lot of people are working on the same thing because nobody's come up with a definition of "thing" that people agree on yet. Your project would be valuable just for adding another point of view to the conversaion.

In my mind one of the problems is that I'm using the term 'router' to describe something more akin to a train schedule. A list of abilities, cost, and timeframe to be used by a model capable of deconstructing its own process

It's a service-oriented job that attracts people who like to control other people. There are only so many upsides to a situation like that. Here's my favorite take on the subject: > "Police business is a hell of a proble

> Help me understand this viewpoint that AGI being possible in the near-ish future is a myth, I see it repeated quite a lot. Nobody will buy an AI with enough context to develop critiques of their own organizational structure.

"Willing to put forth the work" is where we differ. The collapse of the fourth estate alone meant the end of the broadly informed citizen. I've been professionally trained to monitor my own thought process and review my note

In my mind it’s a question of knowing what you want to build and how to divide the project into tasks your local setup can handle. If you don’t need the machine to respond instantly (or explain your own business model to you) everything can

I don’t know, it wasn’t until the pandemic and a layoff that I had time to actually sit and think. There’s a reason that most of the voters (and protesters in my area) are retired, and it isn’t apathy. I don’t have time to educate myself o

I'm of the mind that Rupert Murdoch just found the right way to shout at people who grew up in a certain environment.

We already handle all of that, comrade. Every corner case floating around your brain was floating around someone else's brain a long time ago. Most of this is covered in high school in the US, and it's all enforced by voluntee

“How can you tell I’m 13?” from username H|t13r Interesting to think about the cost of training a LLM to understand that it’s operating within an unknown number of larger contexts versus sending that quote to an edgy intern.
