If you want to be pedantic I’m pretty sure every single general purpose OS (and thus also the programs running under it) falls into the category of not provably correct so it’s a distinction without a difference in real life.

Google scholar and the vagaries of copy/paste errors has mangled bibitex ever since it became a thing, a single citation with these sorts of errors may not even be AI, just “normal” mistakes.

There are people who just want to punish academics for the sake of punishing academics. Look at all the people downthread salivating over blacklisting or even criminally charging people who make errors like this with felony fraud. Its the p

And I’d like a pony, but we can’t get what we want, only what we can take, and asymmetric encryption with western law enables hardware manufacturers to take control of your property away from you. I’m not holding my breath for that to chang

So I’m not proud to admit that for my recent work (which has been 90% data science stuff in Julia) I’ve been still just using Gemini via the webpage for coding and it’s pretty effective for me, what is the most user friendly way to get star

So many google queries I have are pretty simple and the AI overview is good enough to answer them, that is honestly one of the best outcomes of the AI bubble for the masses.

Fortunately for us the Germans were stupid. They chose to murder all of the relatives of those immigrants for ideological reasons instead of using their safety and life as leverage to influence the behavior of the emigres in important scien

It doesn't matter what your experience with ordinary Chinese are. China is not a democracy, they are a fascist dictatorship. Only the senior party officials' opinion matters and they clearly behave as though they see the US as an

They also wasted a ton of money suing a random Washington state woman who wasn’t even affiliated with AA this whole case has really been a shitshow especially considering from a purely legal perspective the publishers have a point. I almost

Obviously the particulars of each generation’s moral panic are different, but the fundamental nature of moral panics remain the same.

I’m still not convinced what is fundamentally different today about social media compared to violent video games which were the supposed evil my parents obsessed about when I was a kid. This is just the “sex drugs and rock & roll” for t

At least in the US the ads must be labeled as such by law, so at a bare minimum I expect the ad blocker devs will be able to remove them with some work.

The political economy equilibrium enabled by technology very much goes the other way though. Once politicians realize they can surveil everyone in real time for wrongthink and wrongspeak they have existential incentives to seize that power

I'm pretty sure it can do all of those except for the one which requires a physical body (in the kitchen) and the one that humans can't do reliably either (construct 10000 loc bug-free).

This is true for most things but not for CSAM which is a strict liability crime in most places.

“Better at preventing” \neq “can’t”. The hoopla you are seeing here is textbook selective enforcement. There’s also the kafkatrap of showing that a model can do this makes you technically criminally liable for possession of CSAM, which I’m

Somehow I'm not holding my breath for this gal to be prosecuted under the CFAA. And then people wonder why the global right is rejecting the idea of the rule of law...

They should just legalize shooting the deer and this problem will get figured out pretty quick.

I’m just pointing out how the world works in real life not saying that it is desirable. Thinking in terms of that distinction is very useful.

When the GP said “not possible” they were referring to the strict letter of the law that I was, not to your lower standard of “make a good effort to fix it”. Law is not code because that gives the lawgivers discretion to exercise power arbi

Somehow I doubt the prosecutor will apply the same standard to the other image generation models, which I bet (obviously without evidence given the nature of this discussion) can be convinced by a motivated adversary to do the same thing at

Should photoshop be outlawed? What about MS Paint? Both of them I’m pretty sure are capable of creating this stuff. Also, lets test your commitment to consistency on this matter. In most jurisdictions possession and creation of CSAM is a st

These models generate probably a billion images a day. If getting it wrong for even one of those images is enough to get the entire model banned then it probably isn't possible and this de facto outlaws all image models. That may preci

The various valuations you see for OpenAI are overwhelmingly based on the prices offered for shares in their employee tender offers so I’d say for OpenAI and SpaceX at a minimum (which has a similar setup for its employees) we have a pretty
