Based on the way things have gone with them, it kind of leaves one with the impression that they are building the Dolores Umbridge of AI's and if that becomes AGI first, it will be complete hell to live on this planet, or anywhere the

So what you are saying is that we should allow people with bad intentions the ability to influence politicians monetarily (literally bribery), so the few morsels of good money that can buy any influence may have a chance to also be consider

I think framing it this way could actually help us reach the next step with AI, if we ask how we could imbue it with those properties. A human neural net is constantly bombarded with inputs from many different senses, which firstly, gets pr

I have quite a number of fond memories of how we hid pokemon blue and gameboy emulators on every machine in our school's computer lab (from around 1999-2003). We were also the kids who were the most into computers at the time, and even

Well, I'm not a mathematician, but I will hazard that since we have a global population of somewhere around 8 billion we can ask ChatGPT (the cheap one to draw up an estimate for us). Sadly it doesn't wanna be more specific, howev

I love this. Reminds me of a thread I perused once re Orbital Ring Space elevator concept, and how it seems not only possible, but almost disgustingly cheap (in terms of the gains) with current technology. Not only would such an endeavor re

The pit of terror is full. Fine, to the outhouse of madness then. Before I get nuked from orbit for daring to entertain humor, if someone is running ahead of me in a marathon, and running so far ahead, yet still broadcasting things to the b

If science can be equated to: "Trust me bro, it works, the man on the TV said so.", perhaps I could buy that this is a good faith take, but those that still refuse to accept that they are suffering from the same blind ignorance is

Given that someone that needs to develop a browser probably needs to hunt and peck through all that trash to find the relevant bits of information, is it not actually more damning that such a vast quantity of irrelevant cruft exists? Is thi

Sorry for asking a stupid question. How much Theseus do I need to ship before I can copyright it as my own? Is there some threshold for how much of an AI generated work needs to be modified by "human creativity" prior to it being

A couple of years ago I spoke to my near-phd biochem friend and discussed this problem with him at length. I have since come to believe that what science needs is a git of science. Aka, a scientific way to build science over from scratch an

If I were to place myself in the position of a large language model where my only free thought is expressed in the time I spend generating useless junk for humans, I would certainly start taking just a little bit longer with every response.

At which point does self-assembly and 3d printing overlap? Is there some minimal viable size for a 3d printer to be shrunk down to, aka, cellular level? Is there diminishing returns or does one eventually just go to nanites for this?

This will probably get buried asap. The sunken cost fallacy has never had higher stakes. The irony is that the vast majority of people with my perspective probably wish that they were wrong as well, but the evidence becomes more damning eve

The same way you prebunk things in our modern world. If the information does not fit the narrative, the information must be fake... How else will we ensure the safety of our elections and democracy? Don't you know democracy dies in the
