If I'm not hallucinating like GPT, I think the etymology of troll as in internet actually stems from trolling as in fishing. I have a hazy recollection of folks in the early days of 4chan describing 'trolling for idiots' - as

All is this doomer-ing feels to be like it's missing a key piece of reflection - it operates under the assumption that we're not on track to destroy ourselves with or without AGI. We have proliferated a cache capable of wiping out

I've got a weird, probably untrue conspiracy theory about this. Hugging face releases stable diffusion. It goes viral and vastly outpaces the competition in the blink of an eye. Then they get sued. Meta sees both of these things go dow

can you recommend any papers on this?

I would contribute to this Kickstarter.

obvious gpt is obvious. I think you meant Charles Schwab there, Mr GPT.

To add; "corrupt" and "legal" are frequently the same thing. Corruption is often about misbehaving within the confines of laws you wrote specifically to take advantage of. I've started to wonder if we have any other

Gee, it's almost like limiting the liability of these c-suite types let's them do whatever they want and get away with it. Weird.

Fun fact: the Volcker rule, which was like the diet glass steagall from 2008, was declawed a couple years ago. This is what happens when you limit liability and bail these people out.

This is a discussion in the art world that you'd hear a lot, before stable diffusion came out. The whole idea of "steal like an artist". It's one of those questions about the nature of us that's on the level of &quo

there's no for dummies, this stuff is too new. there's a bunch of white papers to read; _attention is all you need_ is a good place to start, kinda. if you troll HN for AI related stuff and just read read read, progressively goog

This is a dangerous take, and I would recommend you do the reading to upgrade that feeling to a thought, with all the relevant context. The idea that someone should be a certain way, and that they shouldn't need a pill, is making some

This is true, we could definitely do with less "compulsory participatory theatre" at airports. That said, the FAA != TSA. We like the FAA. They solve actual problems.

there was also a very uncommon event in '01, '08, '22.. .. at some point, we're gonna have to step back and take a look at how we're doing business. Something about our whole way of organizing society is busted.

they're gonna. I've seen a lot of material on wiring these models together to have them do more interesting cross-functional work. Microsoft is about to put out a model you can talk to that makes and recognizes images - and there&

it's already happening. Stable diffusion forums regularly get brigaded, and there are lawsuits in the works against stability ai and midjourney. Those lawsuits are nominally about copyright, but one gets the sense that it's reall

what's the bill intending to do that it's got folks so riled up? the article linked doesn't provide a lot of context

I'll admit, there isn't actually a good solution to this. It's one of the core failures of the way we organize society and its resources. I find this kind of fascinating, really. Because of the way we sort work and create i

it's a little annoying that the "AI Impacts" paper seems to be three MIRIs in a trenchcoat, considering that this article is about EA's AI agenda and by extension Singularity/MIRI. There is a slight conflict of i

| If you disagree then why is OpenAI's safety committee talking about how you should need a government contract to buy an A100. Fuck, really? I hadn't heard about this. If true, it's the godfather of all ladder pulls. Not t

Thanks for the link! It adds some context I didn't have. It does seem fairly obvious that the primary driver of homelessness is the cost of a home. So obvious that it almost doesn't even seem like there's a point in brin

fairly certain the weather has a bit to do with point 3. as for point 1, it's kinda not the case. My area is > 70% new construction (5 years or younger). There are whole neighborhoods here that look totally finished up until a certa

Well, we're past the asteroids, at least. [1] The AIpocalypse seems incredibly unlikely. I'm a lot more worried about the nukes, and even if we end up with robotic overlords, I'd bet they'll be a whole lot better at admi

alright, I'm back. couldn't help myself. Just having multi-agent GPT is way too fun. notably, I've come across this pattern whereby you can get them to behave how you want for like, a couple of statements, but there's an

this is fantastic, and gives me some ideas. It's always hard to find enough people willing to commit to a party...
