What does this have to do with the article?

With Wikipedia there is the talk page which will alert you to controversies about topics, as well as checking the citations. While Grokopedia has "citations" when I checked many of them didn't actually have anything to do wit

Yeah, but it doesn't work. It's full of inaccuracies.

Centaur Chess (the term for this) used to be better but outside of some positions that I don't think have ever occurred in an actual game, no human can help out a modern chess engine.

That all depends on time control. If you watch Titled Tuesday for instance you'll see plenty of games where a player promotes and their opponent doesn't concede hoping to get a stalemate or a dirty flag.

This seems kind of weird. As the article says he was on the phone with his wife and left a suicide note. His son by a previous marriage was in the house with him when he died, which makes me think this is some sort of inheritance dispute be

Yeah they did a lot of weird things. Like Keira Knightly's character Joan Clarke gets her job in the film when Turing does his weird crossword puzzle test. In real life she got it because one of her professors from school recommended h

Accuracy is a poor measure for cheating since better chess players will put you in a more complicated position. I'm not especially good but I've played some games with high accuracy just because I just did some book moves and the

This ad was purposefully playing off the fact that it was AI though, it was a large amount of short bizarre things like two old women selling Fresh Manatee out of the back of a truck. You couldn't replace a regular ad with this.

Is there any example of an AI generated film like this that is actually coherent? I've seen a couple short ones that are basically just vibe based non-linear things.

The story is pretty clearly meant to indicate that the Babylonians were worshiping an animal though. The theology of the book of Daniel emphasises that the Gods of the Babylonians don't exist, this story happens around the same time Da

Iran specifically was super worried about overpopulation in the 80s and the government began a massive program to decrease childbirth rates. With things like government messaging on small families and providing free birth control. Here is a

I remember when I was younger being constantly told that the earth was destined for overpopulation. That if we didn't do things soon to curb fertility there was going to be mass starvation and death. That this was just an inevitability

OK but all the software code the AI companies write is also IP so they're probably not going to make the argument that all of their stuff should be fair game too.

That doesn't make any sense to me. If a lot of people believe a lie you don't start acting like the lie is true, you teach them the truth. If one of my neighbors becomes worried tigers are going to attack and eat him I'm not

But it works fine. There have been extensive efforts to find people voting illegally and it turns up a small handful across the entire country, and many of those are things like returning a recently dead persons mail in ballot that voter ID

I don't think it's really good advice to just assume people have OCD. Like sure, if a friend tells me they do I will believe them but it's not going to be something I'm just going to assume is true and I don't think

I don't think there was a time Cable didn't have ads, certain channels like HBO yeah, but never cable as a whole. The attraction was just having way more content.

They've asserted their authority to send people to another country that they came from, like sending people Liberia and South Sudan. So it looks like you are the one living in an echo chamber rather then reality.

I mean that isn't true. Parents let people experiment on their children all the time it is how we test new medicines and such on them. My daughter was part of a clinical trial. On the other hand I would probably feel more cautious abou

I think the difference is people generally get Life Insurance when they are younger (I'm guessing frequently when they have kids, that is when I got it at least) but get Annuities when they are a senior. I don't know anyone my age

I don't think this is addressing the thrust of the article, which is that Life Insurance companies are getting "fooled" by patients who on paper are healthier then they are in reality. Someone on PreP to prevent getting HIV i

It could mean a lot of things. It could mean "We think you'll die at 87+-5 years" and counting it as a success if you die anywhere in that age range for instance which I could believe they can predict the vast majority of the
