That's entirely fair, but illustrates one of the problems I and others in the thread are having. Code or otherwise, I can't tell if a discontinuity is human or machine generated. Only one of those two things learn from feedback ri

Things AI is "excellent" at, includes "explaining concepts (kinda hit or miss)". Did you use an AI assistant while making that list?

If they could get the budget to build a few extra multi million dollar spacecraft and throw them in the sand they absolutely would. Unfortunately all management gave us were these cardboard boxes with a lander drawn on them in sharpie so we

Thanks to thinking like that, many a system has been hacked. I can't think of any statistical methods that would recover this information, therefore they don't exist.

I don't think your evidence supports your argument at all. Pick any consistently governed region, even one with regime changes. Compared to the UN, which is unable to affect some of the worst genocides in recorded history. As well as t

Unfortunately, having an ideological agenda against climate change and trying to effectively manage and mitigate climate change are completely orthogonal.

Why stop with messages? We have so much more information on people these days than chat history. Why not feed all of it into some kind of opaque classifier that can give us "grades" of human being. Then we could shadowban people b

Neat idea, I'm not sure how much force those jets produce, maybe it could be enough? It might be risky to fire up jets after a botched landing though. If the nozzle has any material in it I'd be worried about blowing a hole in the

Mechanisms weigh a significant amount, long mechanisms like arms even more so. The more mass you spend on contingencies the less science you bring and the less valuable the mission is, even with a flawless touchdown.

I definitely get it. My girlfriend drives an SUV and I'd be lying if I said I never felt glad about that the way drivers and roads are out here. She's also been in an accident (with minimal injuries miraculously) where an SUV wrec

When you become the parked traffic, how does anyone see over you? Guess they need an even taller vehicle.

How do you measure if the clocks agree or not after you move them? You can try and synchronize all the moved ones at point B, but how do you measure their relative timing to A clocks without relying on the speed of light between A and B.

Are we seriously suggesting that the password was intentionally leaked? The crackback against twitter and Musk with even a shred of evidence would be devastating. The idea that anyone's creds would be intentionally leaked is unbelievab

I read it as: for any given planet, if that planet has a magnetic field, how does that magnetic field exist.

Feels pretty apt honestly. This is about how secure I feel using modern technology. The only thing that makes me ok using a bank is knowing I can go ask a human being to chase my money down when it vanishes suddenly. There's even a non

Yes this makes perfect sense. As we know, businesses definitely do not treat data as a commodity and engage in selling/buying data sets on the open market as a "genuine business tactic". Therefore, since the company in questi

I definitely like this perspective as a personal take, AI should not stop anyone from pursuing their own artistic goals. The problem comes from a societal scale. Peter Doig would get a very different response if he showed off someone else&#

Ok I understand your confusion. It isn't explicitly stated, it's just implied. "Speak a non-English language at home" implies some families still speaking English at home as well because that's the most general case

What do you mean it "doesn't hint at that"? You're discussing the words that convey exactly that information? It's verbatim from the first paragraph in the article. > Nearly half of all Californians speak a langu

I understand where you're coming from and I think that's reasonable in general. My perspective would be: you can definitely iterate on the technology to come up with safer versions. But with this strategy you have to make an unsaf

Everything is vaporware until it gets made. If you wait until a new technology definitively exists to start caring about safety, you have guaranteed it will be unsafe. Lucky for us this fiasco has nothing to do with AGI safety, only AI tech

Sigh... Every man knows the mechanisms of the mind are yet unlike the cogs and pinions of clockwork. It remains the machinery, the relation of spring and escapement, that is most relevant. Hitherto in human history, I think, such structure

If you believe this is a possibility, what makes you believe laws restricting the technology to certain corporate or government entities will prevent that scenario? The exact same scenario is very possible still, only many additional (and m

The article focuses on cocoa content as the source of heavy metals. KitKat is mostly milk chocolate and wafer, you should be good on that front.
