I can't imagine the hell it must be to be stuck this way at X. Can you imagine being the engineer that gets the email "Elon wants Séamas O’Reilly suspended because he said some rude things about X" and you happen to be Irish?

If I ran their large multi-page website I could search over it for every occurence of "bereavement fare" to find out exactly what we are telling people and check it for accuracy. I can't do that with a LLM afaik. I can't

I had a fake Yann LeCun (Meta's AI chief) follow me. It looked and read like the real thing. I was happy about it for a couple of days until I realized it was fake. It fooled a lot of people. I didn't report it because obviously M

Can confirm. I don't have cable so I relied on the "latest" tab in X. Almost all the traffic was for sites purporting to be showing it live, but weren't because they were some sort of scam.

This implementation is similar to something Ilya Sutskever said a few months ago but I think I am misunderstanding both: I think they are saying robots could learn how to move and what facial expressions to use by watching millions of hours

I get that. I hope you're wrong. I'm not giving up without a fight.

Free speech for Vladimir Putin and censorship for Séamas O’Reilly is all you need to know about Elon Musk's intentions. I get those who support Musk, as I do in some part, but please let's cut the b.s. that he's a noble fight

I'm not as optimistic as you about the speed of AI advancement. I believe it will be slow enough for someone to stay ahead of it for awhile. I believe AGI is quite hard and will take decades.

If I could give young people one bit of advice I'd say "develop your thinking skills." The only way to beat AI is to stay one step ahead of it. It's shocking to me as an old person how many young people can barely think.

George Carlin always credited his older brother Patrick for being the genius of the family, so if I were them I would have presented "George Carlin's Genius Brother For the First Time!" or something like that, but of course t

I had a similar experience many years ago and learned my lesson and stopped engaging this way with people I didn't know. Later I learned just how easy it is to dox people using stylometry (see: how Ted Kaczynski was caught) or by findi

It used to take real skill to make a convincing fake but now anyone can upload a photo and push a button to "remove clothing" so it takes no skill at all (I'm guessing) so the barrier to entry has been lowered to nothing. Thi

I was restricting my comment to the issue of nudes. I haven't yet thought about other implictations, but this is interesting.

Contrary opinion: deep fakes are actually good for any person who has had nudes leaked because anyone can credibly claim they are faked

The non-mentally ill homeless aren't shitting on the sidewalk requiring 1.7 million dollar toilets. You should give functional homeless, which I've been, more credit than that.

What would be an interesting show from Stewart or Maddow is if they hooked up with a cult deprogrammer and attempted to pull out some die hard MAGA members before they drank the Kool Aid in Novemeber. That would be convincing.

Rachel Maddow is also only on Monday. Her and Stewart are very focused on how bad a Trump second term would be, but they're preaching to the choir with me. I don't need to keep being convinced so I have no reason to watch them. Wh

That's probaby it. I don't resonate with Taylor Swift's emotional landscape so I never notice her songs when they're playing.

I'm a big fan of SwiftOnSecurity, the place previously that I heard anything about Taylor until she started dating a sports guy.

That's a fine piece of manic writing. I enjoyed it so thanks for sharing. The other weird thing for me is that I'm a huge fan of female artists starting at a young age with Joni Mitchell (I kept this to myself so the fellows didn&
