This is essentially building an experiment designed for the LLM to fail. It's like saying if you light your clothes on fire they will burn you. Ya, of course they will! LLMs are not magic. If you set them up to be imaginary racists the

Wait, so both you fridge and your monitor self-connected to wifi? Or you installed monitor software that served as some kind of iot gateway? Every time you tell this story it gets weirder.

The world is absolutely packed with incredibly hard working people who make excellent decisions and die like a dog of a preventable disease in a slum somewhere. Yes, luck. Hard work is table stakes. It is necessary but wholely insufficient.

There is no argument from which this can be minimized. Even in an incredibly rich country like the US this is an enormous expense. You're looking at this from the top of a field that is already at the top of the economic pyramid which

What model of fridge?! How did you know the random device on your network was your non-smart fridge? This is a wild story. I want to believe but if it's true I think there's no sane solution other than exploratory surgery on every

All advertisement is psychological warfare. It's designed to reprogram you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do.

So the 'anti terrorist police" are monitoring porn transfer quantity specifically because they think messages might be hidden in multi-terabyte media transfers? What part of this story is even adjacent to reality.

Before the LLMs made the emdash the tool of the electronic oppressor I used it often enough and other people did too. I hate that it's basically become the little hitler moustache of punctuation. There was at least one guy who was real

This is a big leap. So far LLMs are really good at turning training data into accurate results. The more data, the better. LLMs are very, very bad at making intuitive leaps based on the 'shape' of sparse data- a technique that is,

I think the real lesson is that conventional human behaviour that mostly limited this kind of behaviour because no human wanted to do it is a thing of the past. If you have any kind of open service online you'll need some way to make s

The only important part of 'general' is the ability to learn from experiential data and update your own model. That's what leads to general capability. Humans can't oneshot any task natively, but we can practice for a wh

It beats it by mostly not using the turbines. The turbines are there for long range diversions which should happen rarely enough to not really matter in terms of carbon release.

I think the days of nation-corps openly initiating tolerated if not fully legal 'police actions' against people sufficiently disruptive to quarterly results is probably in our not too distant future. A couple generations, at most.
