My thought about the demise of OAI’s AGI safety team is that they outlived their usefulness. It was a marketing campaign. “We’re super cool. We’re super advanced. We hope don’t make the terminator! wink wink ” “Oh no! GPT-2 is too danger

So wild that this article got flagged. Wonder why people want to memory hole this. Even Bloomberg is reporting this. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/expedia-cto-senior-engineerin...

No. They are conscious. You see this whenever someone becomes unaccountable and surrounded by yes men. Did they have these views before? Probably. Could they express and act on them before? No. That’s the difference. There’s a reason why fa

To follow up that movie reference with the response in a different movie where that line is misquoted, “Where’d you hear that, a renaissance festival?” I haven’t seen that movie a lot, but that scene (and really the entire movie) has been s

Yeah, it’s an “issue date” someone just didn’t go across the room and get it. Also, the early employee numbers are famously semibogus. Jobs was 0 because he hated coming after Woz, who was 1.

Isn't the real problem here not Deviant Art, as much as people making low effort bot nets to trick Deviant Art into paying them? It's a spam problem, only worse, because they're actively paying the spammers. Even Spotify has

It was weird and cool when using firewire, I connected two powerbooks together, using one as a simple external disk. TBF though, you could always just set up a mesh network. Wait. Does mesh network functionality still exist?

Oh my god! A locally run one time purchase application! I'm so glad someone remembers how software is supposed to work. Thanks.

You want to know how the Overton window shifted from workers as humans, to workers as property? Look at laws around the telephone. If you have a telephone on your desk, it is illegal for your employer to secretly listen into those calls. Ho

We have the solution for decades. The rolling class just doesn’t want to use them because it would cost them money

Number 3 is literally an article of faith. And like all matters of faith, not only is there no evidence for it, the evidence that we do have runs counter to the belief. Let’s be honest here. Climate change was a completely predicable proble

It doesn't suck as hard as lack of imagination and using better tools.

But the kids these days think someone else's computer is their computer, and just whine and roll over instead of punking out and DIYing it.

I don’t understand why you think Google’s freedom of speech and association should be restricted. It’s not like you can’t just go someplace else, like you’re own computer.

Once again, never use someone else’s computer. Again, this means you SHOULD NOT BE USING CLOUD APPLICATIONS. Full stop. They’re convenient sure, but they’re also restrictive and all too often just a protection racket via subscriptions. Sorr

Yes, that’s exactly how you do it. That’s the exact process I everyone uses to find someone on facebook. Since you supposedly are in regular contact with these people, you can even ask them, “Is this you?” if for some reason you can’t ident

Not linking it to public FB was a decision because most people don't want their work and personal lives mixed.

I wonder if rotating each quadrant by 90 degrees was an effort to avoid trademark confusion. Also, I would have liked some Sun swag from Columbia.

Because I have never interacted with any of that type of content or creators on the platform, and then when I suddenly get 10 different creators recommended to me simultaneously from 10 different topics. That’s weird. I also explicitly said

I also think there’s something weird going on with YouTube recommendations. The thing that I’ve noticed is that people I follow on TikTok are showing up in my YouTube recommendations, and I’ve never interacted with their YouTube accounts. M

Have you ever seen the math for simulation theory? It’s stupid. It pretty much starts with, what has enough entropy to hold the simulation, and then figuring out what could have that many bits of entropy. Which gives you a result like, Sagi
