In my eyes even finding life is semi a non-story. Or like obviously there's going to be life even intelligent life since it spawned here. Any idea that we're unique is silly we're just emergent phenomena of initial conditions

As a non american: America can get away with a lot more than this and still be an attractive place to try to move to. SF and many other places offer job opportunities the EU can't, and despite this and much more pain of trying to work

"LeCun has been on about it for a while and it's less controversial these days." Funny how that sentence could have been used 15 years ago too when he was right about persevering through neural network scepticism.

JD vance seems to be quite aware of OpenAIs meta strategy so I wouldn't be surprised if this is declined (ie semi specifically aimed at something they want to force them to comply with).

Greg Egan is a master of this (making compelling hard scifi stories where the characters aren't the great american novel quality, still fine though).

I appreciate the warning and if it's not by claude I apologize, but I do think we should be allowed to express scepticism if things posted are just AI slop (and if we have to fear getting banned or what-have-you as a consequence I genu

One thing I'd love to short is the idea that we're going to have a second AI winter. Lots of people predict it but I believe this time is actually a real step function innovation (and last time was caused by it being a very distan

Bothers me generally that journalists anthropomorphize companies ("company X worried by...", "will regret..."). Companies are totally emotionless entities only living to maximize profit.

One perspective is that we already have a number of long since normalized 'genetic fitness' obfuscators in the shape of makeup and surgery. It's an arms race but both sides are smart enough to be aware of the fakery and start

"Electronic music aren't real songs there's no real instruments involved". Let's be a bit creative with these tools. Sure the pure output isn't always plesant or listenable but there's probably an interest

That can probably be a style in itself (if we kept exploring in these directions)

It's always been a combination of data and scale (garbage data on massive scale gives garbage still). Data is continually getting better though so we'll still be able to squeeze a lot out of transformers yet

People who work out a lot eat way way more than $5 in eggs per month; maybe $5 per day is more accurate (it's not only the rich who want to work out).

Chatgpt is really good at small throwaway scripts to accomplish some task that could have taken a good portion of the day to write up otherwise (almost always gets the code right on first try)
