   The Cue tests may be unreliable, but at least they’re expensive! My company was providing Cue test cartridges for free. They always struck me as over engineered.

   I like to think that there are subversives working in ad agencies and that such gaffes are intentional. (I know it’s probably not true, it just makes the dystopia a bit more entertaining) In this case the subtext would be something like: AI

   I find merino wool tshirts can be worn for several days, whereas polyester tshirts marketed as “moisture wicking” will be stinky in a matter of hours. If I wear one of the latter for a workout, if I don’t take a shower immediately, then I a

   I just felt a jolt of anxiety reading this. I feel physically unwell when in a room lit by 6000K "daylight" bulbs, and even imagining being in such a room gives me a twinge. I don't know how I respond to these "blue pum

   Perhaps this will be true, for the types of insights that also require tremendous intuition for people to see. One difference is that it will be possible to examine the full state of the AI which lead to the insight, and perhaps learn from

   I was going to ask for a reference to support this (although please provide one if handy), but the search term “catastrophic forgetting” is a great entry into the literature. Thanks.

   This seems intentionally obtuse. What you say is true, but it is very obvious that this is much more of a pain than if you had the source code. On the other hand, fine tuning is just as easy, regardless of whether you have the original t

    The grandparent provided an argument why we might not want to use an algorithm, even if it provided a Pareto improvement. I suggested that the same argument could be used to say that we should actively degrade performance of the algorithm,

    I don't think it's a given that we shouldn't keep using that codec. For example, maybe the improvement is due to an open source hacker working in their spare time to make the world a better place. Do we tell them their cont

    Can you precisely define what you mean by "generating" and "pretends", in such a way that this neural network does both these things, but a conventional modern audio codec doesn't? "Pretends" is a problema

    This might be true for people in general, but people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease are definitely allergic to wheat.

    A big part of the comp is in equity, and since OpenAI has an uncommon equity structure it is unclear how that would translate to Microsoft stock.

    It is though. Trademark protection doesn’t mean that nobody can use the name for any purpose. Otherwise, “ABC Window Repairs” couldn’t use the name because Microsoft has trademarked “Windows”. In the GroupOn example you cite, it seem

    They’re not assuming that the Q refers to the Transformer’s “query”, they’re talking about the reward function in reinforcement learning, using chess as an example.
