Do these models really lie or do they only do what they are supposed to do - produce text that is statistically similar to the training set, but not in the training set (and thus can include false/made up statements)? Now they add anot

Yeah, I get it, but I still hear the argument a lot, including in this article, that even if our needs are covered, we still need jobs for MEANING. Not sure where all those people work, I should probably envy this guy for finding work at an

People do get imprisoned for "terrorist speech" to my best knowledge. Up to 15 years prison time if I understand the law correctly

I dunno, I might be getting old, but I think the idea that people absolutely need a job to stay sane betrays lack of imagination. Of course getting paid just enough for survival is pretty depressing, but if I can have healthy food, a spacio

Your email is your identity. If they allow you to change your email, what they should refer you by, your passport number? Was kind of easier in the times of usernames, but these are long gone

By the headline I thought they were talking about allowing one to contribute to OS instead of the newly introduced military service, that would be too good of a deal to be true.

Yes, that's a tiny bit of fun in all that. The performance you can get on consumer hardware is not making them too useful though.

AI doesn't help you do higher quality work. It helps you do (or imitate) mediocre work faster. But thing is, it is hard to learn how to do excellent work without learning to do mediocre work first.

What's so special about military research or AI that the two can't be done together even though the organization is not in principle opposed to either?

But the vendor in this case is Atmel and the hard way has existed before Arduino was created. The contribution of Arduino was that they made the simplified path - it doesn't make sense to accuse them of lock in for that.

The point is ease of use. It was designed for artists and other non-programmers originally. I've seen people who would never figure out how to use a crosscompiler do pretty cool things with Arduino.

There is no lock in, you can use avr-gcc with Arduino boards. Arduino is a portable SDK with HAL, you can add support for your own devices to it pretty easily
