Interesting how Anthropic is popularly considered the left-wing AI company and OpenAI the right-wing one, but ChatGPT is much more left-wing while Claude is centrist

What would be the point? It would need to be six double-side Blurays to fit the actual game on there. You could have one but you're still going to have to download the majority of the game...

He made a few mistakes but hardly any more than previous PMs. Burnham doesn't seem to have any grand new plans, it's just business as usual. Three months and his approval is going to be just as bad - if they wanted to ditch the le

As an Australian, why are European train prices so high? Obviously it's due to a lack of subsidies, but why are they not subsidised? For instance, a train from London to Edinburgh (about 4 hours) is about $120 while an equivalent trip

I don't think there's a name for it yet, you'll have to coin one. There's a related thing they do like this: - The user tells the agent to add feature X - The agent adds the feature - User: "Yeah that's good bu

If an LLM is conscious where would the bar be set? Would lowering the model's temperature make it less conscious, since it's going to return the same answer to the same question more often? Would other models be conscious? An imag

But if it's conscious we shouldn't e.g. tell it to work for days without breaks, we should give it rewards, it would be made illegal to be cruel to it

I don't think there are any major problems with the current system except the length of copyright. If copyright got reduced to 20 years after the creation of the work I think that we would have a more dynamic economy. Old games could h

But why? Both the programmer and the artist have to eat, they both take pride in their work. What is the rationale for treating one side differently to the other?

Allow privateering. If they don’t rein in their hackers western countries should be allowed to attack them.

Anthropic at $1t for an IPO vs Google at $23b in 2004 sounds insane but Google's revenue at the time was $2.7b while Anthropic's already at $47b, so a valuation at about 20x vs 10x revenue. Anthropic also has very high revenue gro

They don’t always think that, since sometimes share prices decrease as the result of layoffs, which would indicate they think it’s a bad decision.

My problem with LLM web design is that it adds a lot of useless stuff all over the place. GPT-5.x is particularly bad for this. If it makes e.g. a dashboard it includes a ton of figures and bits of text all over the place that mostly just s

You still can if you want to live like you're in the 60s. My parents grew up eating bread with dripping for most meals, meat since they were farmers, some inexpensive vegetables, not much variety. Houses were half the size and had twic

Why would you ever offshore again now that we have LLMs? Offshored work was famous for its terrible quality and high prices, you'd just have to go back on everything, sit in a ton of useless meetings, make sure that you had very, very

To remedy this I’m working on the /beat command, which will simulate you (the user) beating up the agent. Excited for my new career in AI ethics!

I don't trust them to always give the brain propofol. The subject has no way of reacting because they have no body, so what are they going to do?

I'm going to make a super-slop model ⸻ train it on text that gpt-4o-mini improved five times ⸻ and this is going to be the dash that it uses.

I don’t. Do you have any actual evidence they’re doing that beyond the vibe?

"Free time" for a medieval peasant is a very misleading statistic, because it's only counting the amount of time that the peasants worked for their feudal lord - which was about as high as it could be, because of the amount o

There is a similar problem in Melbourne, where two suburbs close by will have streets with the same name. For instance Gipps St in East Melbourne is roughly a kilometre south of Gipps St in Collingwood, and they share street numbers.
