That's just it, governments won't "look ahead", they'll just panic when AGI is happening. If you're wondering how they'll know it's happening, the USA has had DARPA monitoring stuff like this since be

I think you're reading way too much into OpenAI bungling its 15-month product lead, but also the whole "1 AGI company will take off" prediction is bad anyway, because it assumes governments would just let that happen. Which

I like how this sounds exactly like a selectable videogame hero: Undeterred by even the most dangerous and threatening of obstacles, Teemo scouts the world with boundless enthusiasm and a cheerful spirit. A yordle with an unwavering sense o

It's going to be even more brutal than when Bitcoin popped.

I don't doubt your comment is legitimate, your account predates OpenAI and there's no way an OpenAI corporate account is writing about colonoscopies.

What are the odds this was upvoted to the top by OpenAI? 5 minutes of Hacker News clicks is pretty low-cost PR, and it reads exactly like PR. Any normal post "applauding a company" for trying to not get its employees poached woul

AI just reveals how lazy/cheap/low-standards they were already trying to be. And if AI keeps progressing at current speeds, those are the people who are going to be most easily replaced by AI-tutors within a few years. The actua

People are thinking "how are video games going to use this?" That's not the point, video games are worth chump-change compared to robotics. Training AIs on real-world robotic arms scaled poorly, so they're looking for p

No it's good, you're ahead of the curve, most people aren't there yet. The next step is to realize that, if life is a cheap simulation, not everyone might have... uh... fully simulated minds. Player Characters vs NPCs is wha

I don't know how on Earth people can think like this. Most people can find "value" in a slice of pizza. It doesn't even have to be a good pizza. Or kittens and puppies. Do you think there won't be kittens and pup

Sounds like aliens might crash the holidays. Traffic would be brutal.

Your phone is probably an Android or iPhone, it's funding AI research with your hard-earned money! Better smash it with a rock and eat the pieces.

Would they be ordering pizzas during a real emergency though? Sounds like a code-yellow kind of thing.

Title: "The Washington Post is dying." Then the post is about a bunch of enshittification things instead. I'm sure it will die right after Bitcoin and Google Search and Adam Sandler movies.

Looks like generic "here's the horrible things rich people are thinking!" from a person who's never been around rich people and doesn't know any more about what they're thinking than anyone else.

Stockholders can buy their own Bitcoin whenever they feel like it, relying on a corporation to do it for them just triggers Corporate Income Tax before the normal Capital Gains Tax. But I doubt the stockholders care about basic stuff like t

No shit, people just use a different credit card, instead of the site pulling a game or shuttering, because these groups have no power beyond pestering Visa. Not that anyone saying "sweet summer child" ever had anything smart to s

All the real hentai trash is on DLsite anyway. These people probably have no idea, and even if they did, they're powerless to change Japan. They'd definitely give up after encountering Kanji.

I feel like Altman is taking Elon's path. ChatGPT was his Tesla Model 3. Now he's in the overpromise/underdeliver phase, he's probably going to get himself into a "funding secured" moment soon enough, but he

This is the smart take. The version numbers were useful going from GPT-3 to GPT-3.5 and then GPT-4, but after that OpenAI butchered the usefulness of the naming scheme, with stuff like o4 and 4-o. Version numbers now tell you almost nothi

"My theory is that LLMs will get commoditized within the next year." Incredibly bad theory, it's like you're saying every LLM is the same because they can all talk, even though the newer ones continue to smash through be

No one is ever going to say "gpt it", regardless of OpenAI's future.

Considering they both lie shamelessly, it means jack shit, as much as a 1000% tariff threat.

Games used to be fun through their gameplay mechanics and physics, rather than through their progression mechanics (legendary gear, maxed levels). Giving yourself max-stats would ruin most modern games, because the game world stops being i

You know what's funny, I almost never see people turn-around and go backwards in real life. I do it all the time when I change my mind, but other people just don't do it. It's one of those things that makes this world feel

It's just the prices. Normies here are never going to spend more to get an inferior-tasting thing. If it saves money though? Suddenly it's on their radar.
