I agree of course, but I dont think that merely stating ones dislike on an internet forum will be an effective way to effect change. So I pose the question: What actions may we take in order to help ensure a future of non-implementation of

i believe it would be quite difficult. if you actually look at the structure of the human brain (eg the homonculus model of the cortex) you will note that a very large portion of the brain is dedicated to just the hands/manual dexteri

personal anecdote time: I was recently playing Hollow Knight on the PS4 console. Mostly it was ok, but some portions of boss battles just felt downright unfair. My original setup was to route the HDMI from the console to my AV receiver, th

no. and in fact i'd propose that models like gpt-3 can potentially exhibit catastrophically self-defeating effects. consider that nlp models are trained on a corpus of text, much of which is found online. but in the early stages, it

ah yes. I personally like to refer to this as a stargate theory. for example, if the gov actually had a piece of alien technology capable of opening a wormhole to other planets, perhaps the best way to cover it up would indeed be to creat

wait, but doesn't typical qm operate off of integrating over every possible quantum trajectory, including relativity-prohibited ones where particles take superluminal velocities? so if qtt is valid and otherwise compatible with vanill

Except this is an actual known "evil capitalist" scenario, where pharma execs literally bribed doctors to over-prescribe opioids. RICO conspiracy charges are generally reserved for the likes of the mafia, and even then are rare d

So, my question is - just how reliable is this? black-hat hackers are one concern of course, but given the revelations of snowden/prism/vault7, is it actually just the case that we are, for all intensive purposes, living in a pos
