Not the OP, but I wouldn’t say an ability to pay $10 per month classifies someone as an ‘elite’. The old checkmark was much, much harder to get.

Not a dumbo, but such a massive waste of talent. Nobody would care to remember Newton's name if that wasn't for his work in physics. T. Acquinas is a another example - an extremely intelligent person who wasted his life on a word

I wouldn't loose sleep over this if I was working for Midjourney. Copyright lobby is powerful, and when bad actors like Microsoft, Disney etc. jump onto the AI bandwagon and put their legal weight on their side of the lever, everything

This isn't a guessing game, really. You have some prior knowledge of the expected effect size - that allows you to calculate the sample size required for your statistical test to have a certain power. That is an essential and very simp

I am not a US citizen, but, regardless, I'm not sure you're right: as long as I don't consider something to be immoral, I don't particularly care if it's legal or not. Given how easy it is to obtain untraceable cryp

Sure, and that's exactly why sovereign states don't like monero and mixers - but that is their problem, not mine. Also, in many cases transferring crypto is not illegal - for instance, it is legal to transfer money to non-sanction

People say this, and I want to believe that - but the costs of training these models are prohibitively high. I've seen different estimates for training GPT4, but it is certainly higher than $100M. Training a model analogous to GPT4 fro

To simplify, this means: if you have a following setup Cage 1: male1-control, male2-control, male3-treatment, male4-treatment Cage 2: female1-control, female2-control, female3-treatment, female4-treatment and you see females responding to t

The issue is rather complicated. Yes, you want to have a diverse sample, no questions here. However, there might be issues with the statistical design. Mice are territorial animals, and male mice get especially aggressive in a presence of a

Manager here. Did not fire anyone (and hope not to), but I am starting to look into implementing GPT-4 as a part of our development practice and, potentially, reduce future hiring. This might have a positive impact on our engineering budget
