The article states the decline began in the mid 2010s. Covid may have sped things along but it wasn't the cause.

I mean technically you never need to change the oil on any car if you're willing to just drive it into the ground.

Exactly, that incorrect statistic about the percentage of who perpetrates the shootings is among the things forming the foundation of your argument. Getting more literal with madeup numbers you imagined that present interpretations incompat

The observation you replied to is that 9/11 is not so different from the mass shootings as you erroneously thought was obvious. You've now been educated to understand differently. I never faulted you for your ignorance.

Right. I'm saying the unbounded takeoff scenario isn't realistic, but it doesn't matter. The rate of improvement is continuing to increase, and the gap between present day and autonomous rogue felony generators is not large.

Is this a serious response? Do you seriously believe that among the thousands of mass shootings to have taken place in America since 9/11, none were the work of sane people trying to make a statement? The shooting death toll of people

Would you not agree that, using existing AI tooling, making an LLM of arbitrary below-frontier capability is now easier than it would be without using LLM tooling? Given that, it seems obvious that the next generation of LLMs will arrive fa

This is America. We see constant mass murder of random citizens, often children, via mass shootings. So maybe the question is, why was 9/11 special among murder?

Traffic policing is generally an income source. You're right on licensing but I wonder how it compares to the cost of the TSA?

Better by what measure? Not by "get the best job after college" certainly.

by margalabargala 15d ago
Right, so we would expect the magnitude of the changes from 9/11 to be about 1/14th the magnitude of the changes we do to prevent car deaths.

Well, given a proof of something then a system can be built that relies upon the inviolability of that thing. Should the proof turn out to be bullshit, then that system will be revealed to be unreliable. Maybe.

You and the person you are replying to are talking about different things. Agents cannot be given a high level goal and then left unsupervised, for hours, without making some dumb decisions.

It's up 60% from a year ago, so adjusted for inflation, it's actually only up about 57% from a year ago.

I have not in fact, no, despite working 12 years as an SWE. Unlike you, probably, if we're slinging unfounded accusations.

In case you were unaware, if someone's defense against being called an asshole is to say "well nothing I said was false" they're almost certainly an asshole. No one accused you of dishonesty.

They both are characteristics of software that people consider when deciding whether to use it. Open source being by far the more important of the two, since it means the user is more insulated by terrible corporate decisions thus making it

That may be so, but I would expect the people who work there to be 1) interested in getting a species name for the unnamed species they had in captivity, and 2) certainly know who to reach out to to get a species description even if they we

You know what they mean. If it reads a certain way, maybe it is that way. This person is referring to having an abortion as "killing their unborn child", they clearly aren't interested in non-inflammatory language.

Sure, and in China some companies do exactly that. I can't find evidence of it working in the US. Gets hard to pay fall guys when all company assets have been seized in court judgements.

Why? It is easy. Anthropic has paid out an awful lot of money settling piracy suits. An example where no one attemped to hold anyone liable isn't a counterexample to what happens when we do.

Hold the manufacturer equally liable. Easy.

While I would like to see that just for the data, from a regulatory standpoint all we really need are the manufacturers being liable in a crash if their cars were driving. The insurance savings of their cars being safer will create the ince

If Russians pay a German to do sabotage, is it Russian sabotage, German sabotage, or both?

I've not seen anything calling her innocent. Even the defendent agrees she is guilty of killing her kids. Have you seen this personally? Or are you repeating it blindly? Or do you not understand the difference between NGRI and innocent

This is going to be really interesting. What does the future of new programming languages look like in the era of AI?
