But that doesn’t sound particularly difficult. If he was saying “rich people get into heaven just about as easily as poor people do” why would he word it like that?

This is a common view but I’m skeptical about it in this case. The whole board struggle seems like it blindsided everyone and was somewhat influenced by the breakthrough. I doubt that MS and OpenAI would want to cause that much case merely

Good news. Less people are smoking now than in the past, due to being educated about the dangers, so we don’t need to go all out to ban it. If people want to harm their own health they should be allowed to. It’s especially ridiculous to bri

Absolutely - the simulation hypothesis is basically identical to belief in God, you’ve got an omnipotent being that exists outside the universe (God or the creators of the simulation) and created it. Any of the supernatural elements are tot

Well there you go. I suppose the takeaway for anyone using OpenAI products is that they should have a backup, even if it doesn’t perform as well. The board was apparently fine with shutting the whole thing in the name of safety. With that p

They could report any number of facts if they wanted. They could spend all day writing about what their dog had for lunch today and it would be purely factual. They only include specific facts for a reason. They could probably do an analysi

That's pretty unsurprising for him to demand that, since the statement they put out really threw him under the bus. I would've thought that if he'd done something actually bad they would've come out and said it already,

Honestly I don't care if an AI tortures a trillion simulations of me for eternity. Maybe this matters to EA people in terms of minimising future suffering but to me, given they're only hypothetical copies, I couldn't care les

When will we have enough data that we will be able to apply this to everything? Imagine a model that can predict all kinds of trends - what new consumer good will be the most likely to succeed, where the next war is most likely to break out

I don't think there are any real security issues that could come out of this - you're giving an LLM a file to query (in any manner) and return those values to a user. The user can necessarily ask for any data from that file and th

That's interesting - what happens if you go in the other direction and replace "and labor" with something like "and free market economics"?

by joegibbs 3y ago
My guess is that it's not because of the possible political context, but because it's interpreting "soft lighting" as inferring something sexual. Does it work if you get rid of the "and labor" part?

Bezos looks to be a "very keen cyclist" to develop and maintain that level of musculature at his age - probably at least TRT doses of testosterone. Compare how he looked in the '90s vs now, look at arm vascularity and neck si

I think the problem is that you're just working too many hours. If you're getting into the office at 7:30 and leaving at 7 that's almost 12 hour days. Then you add an hour for commuting, another 30 minutes for getting ready i

It seems like a cool concept, my only concern is that if this gets big isn't it going to make interviewing massively more tedious? Currently, you apply for let's say 20 jobs. Out of those you've got 2 or 3 that like your resu

Sure FOSS proves their ability to work in a team, but you also have to consider that, generally, FOSS contributions will be less impressive due to the limitations of working in a group - in a long term project all the cool stuff is usually

It’s a massive game changer, being able to make a drawing of Mickey Mouse doing 9/11 doesn’t mean a thing towards whether it’s a success or not. Anyone can make a drawing of that, it’s not special. Certain people are so obsessed with s

I feel like there’s more of a demand for Starlink sucking than Starlink actually sucking. There seem to be constant articles about it crashing and burning, not actually working, being a huge failure, yet my parents (rural Australia) have be

But if you had a 53k Mac Pro you probably wouldn’t be using it to develop VisionOS apps. Anyone who’s spending that kind of money is probably using it for some kind of specialised workflow which needs 1500gb of RAM and which probably won’t

Definitely. It's possible that programming will reach its peak as a percentage of the population that's employed within 5 years as AI tools make people more productive, but I don't see things changing to "AI, write me an
