There's basically zero content to your reply so I'm ignoring it.

I don't know what everyone else is doing but I've certainly been writing a lot more often because of my interactions with AI. Maybe some people used to write more but have been leaning on AI so they can write less but I don't

I'm not even in the US. I just think it's absurd that minor variations on this news keeps ranking so high and a lot of the comments are basically "Good", "Great", "I support this".

Is this some kind of astroturf campaign? It's like the 4th time this topic sourcing a BBC article has appeared on the first page in about as many days and the comments on it are all the same drab, short and repetitive expressions of su

The title is the one used by the author, how is that misleading?

Something being judgemental is not a reason to dismiss it.

Yes and indulging this appetite is much like any other, a good comparison being the other fundamental one: hunger. I think that also frames it in a way that makes it more concrete as to what the negative aspects are as well as showing that

I guess the EA and rationalist cult members are out in force since this got flagged. Not a good look guys, you're just confirming what everyone thinks.

Only partly, they also live in extremely remote areas that don't have a lot to offer. It's not like all the other indigenous populations were pacifists, they fought wars, murdered, raided, etc. but they were living in areas that w

This seems like an odd take. I remember when a large portion of the people I'd speak with online were very pro 2a while also being countercultural. There was a strong individual liberties/responsibilities, anti-government, pro-dec

What use is this when you can just prompt the LLM to insert those or use any other style of writing that looks human?

I almost died from cringe when I hovered over the link and realized what he was talking about.

I think it's very important to distinguish procedural generation as only one component required for emergent, unpredictable gameplay. If you lean on it too heavily then yes, you will just have 10,000 variations on plain oatmeal. The ot

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" applies to running a business as well as trading. There is no certainty when you're dealing with the individual whims of millions of people.

If all the earnings are in the tail then what the heck is in the head? or are you talking about the case where sales are flat and it's all tail?

This is actually a fairly well studied area and surprisingly even a term as short as two years would likely be enough to ensure that a profit was returned on the investment. Most media including books, movies, music and video games earns th

You must have your units really messed up because there's no way that's right. A GPU drawing 700W for 10s would be 1.9444 Wh or 0.0019444 kWh and that's if the GPU was only serving your image gen for the whole 10s which is un

For some roles, I agree but I also think that there will be many new-ish roles that will have lower requirements right down to being a warm body capable of walking and talking. The lower requirements will be possible because these roles wil

You're right, I should have clarified that they are still slowly integrating it and it isn't the thing running all models. I meant moreso that since they are planning on moving more usage over to Cerebras wafers, they're able

Reading this as someone who switched over to ChatGPT after (and largely because of the changes made in) the Fable release, it reads a bit naive. Not only do I find Sol to be as good, if not better than, Fable it is also faster, better behav

I think you're stuck on the word "paid", I meant it as "receive a salary" or be in the employ of someone else rather than operating your own business.

There are still plenty of the old guard left so it hasn't been entirely overwhelmed yet. I guess AI arrived just in time to nuke it on the way out.

Farmers aren't really paid, they sell goods at market prices. Modern farms are more similar to operating a manufacturing business than they are to a salaried position or profession. They don't earn high incomes compared to white c

I don't disagree. You can add medical doctors to the list as well, lots of nerds but also a lot of clout chasers and money-grubbers who couldn't care less about the profession. I don't want to see programming take the same pa

An incredibly boring and unimaginative rehash of naysaying draped over a thinly disguised ideological agenda. Why is this on the front page? Edit: it's from a student newspaper from back in 2020, that explains a bit about the content b

Maybe I'm just old but people talking about being in programming for "status" or to be "highly regarded" really irks me. I'd rather see the entire field burnt to the ground and replaced by robots than to have i
