It's fun watching the right wing try to square this circle. Especially in the UK where we import most of our fossil fuels. We could have sovereign control over our energy supply with renewables and electrification. Yay, we become a gre

As long as they are the ones on the Sev 1 bridge when shit is down 6 months later I'm happy for them.

What can the Kremlin do that is worse than the tech bros? Leverage data to deliver people additive divisive content until it all boils over into the "real world" and splits society? Oh wait...

Some (well, two of them obviously) major world powers have forgotten that "winning" wars is a lot harder than starting them. Especially with drones and AI narrowing the technology gap.

Fair enough. But SBF chose to associate with "effective altruism". Did Holmes create the "I'm an amazing FEMALE entrepreneur" persona? Or was she focused on the scam and the narrative was created around her?

I wish i could forget the last 6 years as well (to be clear, post COVID nonsense).

Maybe the depth of a game is related to whether it will scale. Go is played on different board sizes and still works. If you make a Backgammon board bigger it would just be a slog and no real increase in tactical challenge. Chess rules dict

OK thanks, so the neural net (that no one can explain fully) generates a "stop" signal at a certain point.

I thought it was Cmdr Data from Star Trek, but Sam's version is the certainly the one the c-suite think they want.

Or know when to shut up. A tangent, but can anyone ELI5 how models "know" when to stop generating tokens? Or what the method to stop them at the right point is?

Come on, don't provide the smoking gun that shows how to draw a pelican riding a bicycle. If it's on the public internet it will end up in training data and invalidate this important LLM capability benchmark.

The official Spotify app has some skin in the game. Random dudes self promotion project, not so much.

Fair enough, the "advisory" nature of referendum in the UK does have clear reasoning that i wasn't fully aware of. However the idea of it being "advisory" was itself exploited, and used to make people think that Bre

It has more of a following outside the UK. We know what he is like.

The safe distance is anonymity. A few of the bold ones that are all in on the grift or just genuine assholes will own their opinions and behaviour. All the little followers have a different tune when confronted with a real social situation,

Yup, Farage did more for the great replacement than any other UK politician.

It wasn't binding so the normal procedure and checks around a referendum could be ignored. Like disenfranchising the British citizens living in the EU. Democratic indeed...

Sounds like the way a certain referendum to do the opposite should have been run.

Yes, it is fun to play with different turns of phrase, even in a stale work environment. I do it to combat the banality, but not so much to sound pretentious hopefully ;) The problem is once a fun phrase is, uh, coloured by "Claude&quo

In London you can use a contactless (UK) bank card, and it works just like the "Osyter Card". I think that started around 2016. For journeys on the TFL network you should get billed the lowest fare, as long as you touch at the rig

Maybe the test/task itself wasn't intended as a marketing stunt. But the response to fallout with "going rouge" certainly was. The joke was the other western "AI labs" had to quickly follow up with their own ma

In the UK there are fairly strong rules against advertising junk food to kids. Of course these are all being subverted on social media because of Meta et al. being uncooperative and pretending they can't identify kids (they know the re

The question is, if social media isn't regulated or banned for children. Why are all the other thing we don't let children do still regulated/banned. If a 6 year old can scroll TikTok surely they should be allowed to get a co

Haha, that is like the wall of nonsense text that used to be hidden on link-farm pages for SEO. The "final word" is delusional.

Sounds plausable. There is a video somewhere of a Finnish university professor from around the time the war started (maybe a bit before), explaining the Russian attitude to sportsmanship, or whatever you want to call it. Basically he sugges

I guess they are laughing it off because it was another Allianz sponsored stadium depicted, and they got the OK from Allianz to make the joke as it is free attention. If the AI design had chosen a non-Allianz branded location I bet the resp

Less connected is good. Also making the other person feel more awkward or uncomfortable with the interaction. I suspect most people desperately trying to hang on to it, except with those they are good friends with. Unless they want out of a
