Many people don’t vote because it is difficult for them, they don’t see a difference in their lives because they get screwed one way or the other no matter who is in power, and if you’ll recall the last administration was complicit in genoc

Some differences with the human source for those kinds of tools: (1) the resultant generated code was deterministic (2) it was usually possible to get access to the exact version of the tool that generated it Since AI tools are constantly o

I don’t know if this prediction is wrong, it might well be right, but the basis for this prediction is “market forces” without (a) an analysis showing the advantage for sets of market participants or (b) fundamental scientific reasoning why

How is this that different from a mixture of experts in a single model? There are some differences in training etc but it’s not that different at a fundamental level. You need to solve the issue with a single model. The multiple model conce

I don't buy this but even if it were true, you could say the same if America was winning.

It would be fine if "defense" is what was meant, but they recently changed it back to a far more honest "department of war".

So just run a new study this year. I do think the tools have improved, but it should show up empirically. The only people for whom the urgency of "right now" is present is for the C-suite and investor class who are fighting to mak

Newspapers used to have copyeditors for this kind of thing. I thought NYT still did.

That's a possible hypothesis, but there was also a rising trend prior, it wasn't stable.

Maybe it's because I've read a few pieces on JPEG before so I have some prior knowledge, but I was looking to review this and this presentation was one of the clearest I've seen. Good job!

it’s postmodernism. they have core interests around making money and opposing worker power but everything else is about the appearance of strength and appearance alone. sometimes referred to in the literature as spectacle

This is the malthusian argument, and in a vacuum it sounds right but didn’t account for decreasing family size with wealth and the ability of the economy to just barely eke out something like a percent or two of surplus. In China, the one c

I asked claude to help me figure out some statistical calculation in Apple Numbers. It helpfully provided the results of the calculation. I ignored it and implemented it in the spreadsheet and got completely different (correct) results. Cla

Another way of saying this is most line engineers will be moving into management, but managing AIs instead of people.

I use AI to discuss and possibly generate ideas and tests, but I make sure I understand everything and type it in except for trivial stuff. The main value of an engineer is understanding things. AI can help me understand things better and f

Does that mean that people do not recognize that some of the content is AI? Or do they simply accept it?

We are tightly integrated with Israel, joined at the hip, but you realize we are at war with Russia right? If we were controlled by Russia, we would not be at war with them.

These LEO satellites are low enough that I imagine a Kessler situation would self-resolve within a few years.

50% + 1 is called democracy. Civil liberties are more liable to be swept away by minorities that come to power. In the US, the republicans often do this because they have minority popular support but a disproportionate representation in gov

I voted third party. If the Democrats want my vote, they have to represent something resembling human values. Look around you, COVID is still everywhere and the scientific literature is pretty dismal. The Democrats lagged about 6 months beh

I don't really know how to respond politely to downplaying genocide. What I can say is that it is becoming accepted that Kamala Harris lost in part because she refused to change genocide policy. If you want to win, you should start tak

We’re the bad guys. We were only the “good guys” for like 4 years in the 1940s and we still did internment camps. Everyone is costing off that 80 year old aura to justify a death machine.

“ Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences.” What a sentence that inspires trust in Anthropic. DoW is currently bombing a sovereign country in a blatant act of aggression. It has been complicit i

The democrats are complicit in genocide. Trump is attacking allies too, but they’re both criminal. The main difference is “worthy and unworthy” victims.

They moved away from raw text and are now working with verifiable synthetic data (eg math, games, code) to improve general reasoning.

Part of the issue there is that the data quantity prior to 1905 is a small drop in the bucket compared to the internet era even though the logical rigor is up to par.

That would certainly make me feel more positively disposed if that credibly came to light, though I would still wonder how dumb were they to think the military wouldn’t do stuff like that EDIT: that may be the case actually https:/&#x
