Yeah, I'm not sure which way is supposed to be "sloppified". The default looks stylistically less slop-like, but obviously has the same filler content issue.

Driving is more complicated than Doom, and it doesn't look that great at Doom to me.

Right, I forgot that they also read and parse text in images well.

That's a niche inside a niche. It's a step up from existing solutions, but not an enormous one.

For anything visual, they are still effectively blind, right? Still just working off the image embedding, sometimes using scripts to actually inspect individual pixels.

One way you could do it would be to find something that 1. would sound like a bug to a human and an LLM, 2. would be "confirmed" as a bug by a LLM, and 3. would be consistently solved in the same exploitable but reasonable way b

Well no, Minecraft was already wildly popular while it was in beta. Luanti was explicitly inspired by Minecraft, as stated in the article it was named Minetest up until a few years ago.

I think at some point you just have to try to read the technical content then see what you don't understand and figure that out.

Sure, more spoilers ahead. For every episode except the last 1-2 the characters are not textually aware that they're simulated humans made from a brain scan, and the conflict and plot are largely interpersonal conflict and being forced

It really does not "explore" the concept, it just features it as a plot element.

Yeah, the filtering process probably wasn't particularly robust. The Schrodinger's cat example ("It's a cat that has been misbehavin'!") sounds like... a joke? Looking at the paper, it looks like they started w

I prefer to just stay in the Following feed unless I'm specifically looking for new people to follow. It feels like an easier way to get see the kind of posts I want to see.

I think it's a useful distinction, there are lots of companies doing bad things that also happen to have "better comms".

If I swung at someone at my job I'd be fired. If a security guard swung at someone who was not an active threat they'd probably be fired too. We still do our jobs.

As of about a month ago there’s https://github.com/soapantelope/mindcraft . You can give it a prompt like “A Minecraft world of beautiful flower-filled meadows abruptly changing into swamps.” and get that. As far as I c

There's a couple "AI forecaster" companies now, Preseen and FutureSearch. My understanding is you give them a query and they research every possible relevant factor and give an estimate of the likelihood of your query, and su

It’s entirely possible that Mojang has a blog somewhere with more detail, or maybe a dev tweeted something, that would be the type of useful info that could exist that someone more familiar with Mojang might know.

To clarify, I object that any of these things matter much for general outcomes. If the article had immediately supported these claims, maybe I'd be more accepting, but as is it appears I'm supposed to have taken it as a given.

That is a point that could be made in the essay! I don't think it's a given, but it's treated as one. My experience is that children who are ESL assimilate pretty heavily.

It's trying not to be that, but it still reads like that to me. The deliberate non-naming of heresies but specific callout that "heretic-hunting" is coming mostly from the left naturally leads to that conclusion.

Sure, it's just such an odd bundle of claims that were not fully interrogated in the essay. 1. That these things have changed from "small minority" to "significant minority" in public school populations, 2. they hav

But LLMs go through post-training that gives them a style distinctive from most human writing. It's certainly detectable. This reads as heavily LLM generated/edited to me.

The slime art is nice. I watched it for a long time. It's neat how you can open any frame up as an image. The controls in the description didn't work though.

I don't hear anything from the examples in Firefox or Chrome, on Windows 10.

What is bad about "effective charities"? It's probably mostly for malaria nets!

I read his contention as “the people who wrote AI 2040 are nerds who are so ungrounded from physical reality they wouldn’t even know how to change a bike tire if given instructions”. Which I think is also wrong but has a genuine criticism i
