You can also teach humans science and math and then they can be trained by a cult to not use any of that reasoning when emitting canned responses that they were rewarded by the cult for internalizing during their training. "Fake News!&

This can't be overstated! Libraries would never be allowed to come into existence today. I think we should all think long and hard about the society we have collectively created. It is not too late to make an effort to fight to reclaim

"Our society only works thanks to most people being slaves to these tremors." If everyone defects, the system breaks down. Morality is good and it is actually logical - it solves the prisoners dilemma and pushes cooperation instea

Heh, I think you meant to say math. Plenty of theoretical CS is study of things like algorithms, which looks more like math proofs than code. But we can all agree that vibe coding has little to do with Computer Science. And if you're n

This is what I'm seeing - for people who were slow and didn't posses a lot of depth or breadth, their blast radius and impact has skyrocketed. They can now work in unfamiliar domains quickly, without any knowledge of the nitty gri

"Poorer?" That implies they still rely on money. But money is just a form of fiat power. The billionaires/trillionaires will not much need fiat currency or fiat power, because they're building real power.. by extension,

Funny, didn't iOS have that like 15 years ago, before they probably removed it?

I had the same interpretation - Maduro was a bad guy, but when the approach taken is akin to the "Wild West," its hard to claim moral superiority - it devolves to different factions of goons with guns stealing from each other and

Try watching the videos instead of Fox News or OANN. Pretti tried to help a woman who was pushed down by masked agents, they then attacked and executed him. Good tried to turn AWAY from the man with the gun and get out of the situation and

This is such a bad decision - its infuriating. Incredible overreach of state power. This decision laughs at values such as liberty and freedom.

This has also been my experience - asking it to take the devil's advocate of the other side of the coin and assume the persona of 'X relevant highly rational type with deep knowledge in the field' both have a lot of utility.

Exactly all of this - I didn't have my popcorn out, I was genuinely curious about the nature of the risk being discussed. I find the post basically worthless without context - a wood stove is dangerous if you place your hand on top of

Its not that LLMs are stochastic parrots and humans are not. Its that many humans often sail through conversations stochastic parroting because they're mentally tired and "phoning it in" - so there are times when talking to t

Many other humans are .... Not very available - certainly many shut down when conversations reach a certain level of depth or require great focus or introspection..

+1, democracies really need to start establishing some serious red lines that are not to be crossed. Mass surveillance of citizens by any means (including purchasing it from corporations or obtaining it from other governments). Corporations

Seriously, and more than that, "by the people and for the people" are increasingly becoming hollow words contrasted with the reality of daily life. Corruption is increasingly rampant, and it's "rules for thee but not for

They are pretty docile so won't be as aggressive towards stinging, but certainly can sting. You might be thinking of honey bees - which also can and do sting, but which die if they sting, so they're heavily disincentivized to sti

How about pay the user whose data has been collected. It's their data. If we are the product, we should get paid for being used! And we should get paid a whole lot more (multiples) for the exposure of a leak.

That's not a bad idea, sending mail could simply be an authorization for a $1 or $10 charge. And if the receiver said the message was unwanted, then the charge would go through. There's just the pesky problem of incentives on the
