It could be the case that they become the hegemon and don't ever conquer anyone besides Taiwan and it still sucks due to how they treat ~20% of the Earth's population (their own citizens). A liberal, democratic China becoming the

I think that is the most likely outcome. However, if the decline starts occurring too rapidly, I do think violent far-right (and perhaps far-left) paramilitary action could become a major problem, like in 1920s/1930s Germany. Tons of t

Quite something to imagine 60 years from now history books (or thought-o-grams) may be written on Gamergate and a microblogging application and a reality TV host ushering in the chain of events that upended the biggest global power.

I think it's very likely counterfactually better than USSR (now Russian) or Chinese hegemony. Imagine if Al Gore had won 2000 - America at the helm while growing increasingly wary of violent foreign interventions seems like the least b

On one hand this is true. On the other hand it does seem possible, in theory, that through enough post-training and other measures they could become a bit closer to human minds and not just be token guessers. The human brain may at its fund

All I can say is let us all hope this is merely the American decade of humiliation and not the beginning of the American century of humiliation.

Most of your comments on this site are apologia for China's government.

Ever since some non-native-English-speaking people within my company started using LLMs, I've found it much easier to interact and communicate with them in Jira tickets. The LLM conveys what they intend to say more clearly and comprehe

I will admit to being an LLM workslopper. I don't ever send anything written by an LLM (because anyone who's seen enough LLM writing will recognize it's an LLM) without rewriting it by hand first - with exceptions for parts o

Browsing a website is not an affront to the owner of the website.

I hope they add WebTransport support soon.

Maybe there are licensing restrictions or other things that prevent it, but wouldn't it make more sense to combine HBO Max and Netflix into a single app? Or at least make all HBO Max content also available in Netflix (and then eventual

Yeah, people differ, and there are different forces that can increase and decrease productivity in an office and at home. If I'm honest with myself, being remote gives me more opportunity to slack off and do whatever I want, which ofte

I'm thankful I was "grandfathered in" by starting a remote role pre-COVID. Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if I'm more productive in an office (due to pressure to seem busy, which correlates somewhat with amount of t

Perhaps. They're still 100% right.

by meowface 11mo ago
Yeah that's a pretty deadly combo.

Interesting, I remember people here praising their website redesign a while ago.

I've stayed at a lot of hotels. I have almost never been in one that didn't have a proper bathroom door.

I'm sorry, but that seems completely absurd. There's clearly nothing special about biology where only biological things could ever possibly be truly intelligent or conscious. Unless you think there's some kind of divine inter

It does seem too fast to be a huge model, but it also is giving me the vibes of the typical Opus level of intelligence. So who knows.

by meowface 11mo ago
I am guessing they don't intend to and will be removing them with urgency.
232.
by meowface 11mo ago
Well, ignore the "are humans machines" question. That part is irrelevant. The interesting thing is "can non-biological intelligence be conscious".
233.
by meowface 11mo ago
I do not understand what you mean. Why would a non-animal machine never be able to have complexities and contradictions and paradoxes?

Not to go full-PETA, here, but I think there's a pretty decent chance that in 300 years you and your family and this comment will be looked back on like how we now look back on remarks about chattel slavery.

by meowface 11mo ago
Do you think a machine simply could not be conscious? (Also, we definitely and obviously are a machine. But ignore that for now.)
236.
by meowface 11mo ago
I agree with the first few parts of your second paragraph but I don't think you can extrapolate that to the extent you're attempting. Evaluating consciousness in machines is not going to be easy.
237.
by meowface 11mo ago
I think it's very unlikely any current LLMs are conscious, but these snarky comments are tiresome. I would be surprised if you read a significant amount of the post.

Many people have for decades. Seems fine to me.

Cursor is very obviously not a fad (Copilot I'd say actually is!), nor are any of the Cursor clones/competitors. Of course it matters very much for actual development work. I feel like everything you're writing in this sub-th
