Wait a minute. I thought when we didn't like liberals we scolded them for spending $5 on coffee at Starbucks. When did we switch to them being too poor to afford it?

I agree, they should've just shared it immediately without contacting the owner

This. Based on the headline I was expecting a physical threat on the owner, instead we get a screenshot of them treating it as a learning opportunity and the owner responding in an incredibly condescending way.

If I got served food at a restaurant and realized that the pictures were from a different restaurant, I would be pissed off in exactly the same way and amount as if a menu used AI slop. The only difference is that with AI slop you can tell

The point is that it was the same business making the image and the actual food. Now basically every business will have the same abomination of a cheeseburger on their menu because they all prompted the same thing, and as a result customers

The NSA spying scandal happened under Obama even! IMO that was the defining moment for electronic privacy as a real political issue; before that we were very much in post-9/11 state of exception mode.

I think the spending commitments they have already signed close that door too. They don't presently have the revenue to make those commitments regardless of opex; the only way they will be able to hit them is a massive increase in adop

But they are trying very hard to become a public company as quickly as possible? Sure I guess it's literally true but people shouldn't treat it like it's normal. It's like a creepy 40-year-old announcing they're dat

Lol I'm a communist. I obviously wrote it for other people to vote on, but your original comment was actually so unpopular that no one gets to see any of it now

Well again, it shows that translation of existing logic is possible. It's impressive when compared to what came before, but it's categorically different to human intelligence, let alone "super(human)intelligence"

Massie is interesting, his whole identity as a politician seems to be challenging his own party on populist lines like this. It's one thing to use Epstein as a weapon against democrats when out of power, it's another to create hea

It's weird that you think you're in a position to scold people who don't vote for your preferred empty suit back into conformity. You can keep doing it by all means, but it's not working and there are less of you every y

I don't think you even need to get conspiratorial with it. All of the AI leaders and all of the Rationalist leaders are publicly and enthusiastically connected. They have been pushing stories about sentient AIs into the mainstream for

How can they exclude training costs?? How is that not fraud? At the exact same time they're literally saying they will never stop training unless the state bans all their competitors

Or if it were helping a major Chinese AI firm commit cyberattacks, they would be on the state sponsors of terrorism list tomorrow

Lol beat me to it

Lol I love the metaphor, but it's a bit limited because the fake and real "threat" categories aren't just unrelated, they are opposites. The fake ones are all the AI boosters talk about, the real ones they would never ta

You made a literally fake post and all replies to it are pointing that out. You haven't made a substantive reply to either.

"I was kind of leaning toward thinking all the talk of doom was a bunch of self-serving regulatory-capture hype" "Just because they see different threats from AI doesn't mean that AI isn't a threat" Why would y

Real threats that are happening to regular people already, vs marketing "threats" that the technology is too powerful / valuable. The fact that you are chiming in to say you don't understand the difference between these

It can build a C compiler or browser if you don't know or care that it's a buggy collage of the dozen or so existing open-source C compilers or browsers, with no bearing on its ability to solve novel problems for your business. In

Afaik LLMs still can't add numbers. They've just had their system prompts updated to make them use a tool call for any arithmetic.

Thank you so much for calling out the crypto comparison! > What I don't really understand with these posts is that they don't at any point contend with the "to the moon" argument. Like people get so caught in crypto b

Lol I don't think I've ever been thanked for a post before. Don't thank me, join me and the handful of others here who don't just retroactively justify every decision our tech billionaire overlords make.

We're saying the same thing. The ability of the system to iterate is dependent on the digitizability of its artifacts, and its familiarity with such artifacts through its training data.

I applaud the clearly AI-pilled author for starting to pull themselves out of their echo chamber, but clearly some more work needs to be done. This statement is not true: > Coxon's thread is genuinely anguished; he reports that exec

Uninformed speculation from the rationalist cult forum that wants to will science fiction into reality. If you actually look at the trajectory of post-LLM AI developments, the successes have all been in areas where the major labs have some
