Surprised the comments here are mostly negative. I think the land of the giants ones are very cool. It'd be too much if they were like that everywhere, but I definitely appreciate the concept, and could see the argument for calling the

One might argue that humans do a similar thing. And that the structure that allows the LLM to realistically "mimic" human communication is its intelligence.

What do you mean? Typically (always?) the firing itself is instantaneous. We have no idea how long the issues that led to the firing went on. The communication was certainly very poor, and we don't know if the reasons were good, but I

But why editorialize the title to make it less descriptive? I could understand not adding that information if it wasn't there already, but it's in the article title.

And because of the advantage of using it internally without sharing it with competitors?

The fact that multiple top employees quit in protest when he was fired suggests to me that they found him valuable.

There is no need to understand how consciousness works to develop AGI.

The consciousness point is an interesting one. There's probably no way to know, but if biological neural networks manifest consciousness, it certainly seems at the very least plausible that artificial ones would do so as well. The idea

Yes parental controls are horribly complex and buggy. In my ideal world we'd just do away with them entirely, and not replace them with overly restrictive laws instead. As a parent I would rather spend my time actually talking with my

Appears you're correct. I assume it was spun off from Cox and then they sold the majority stake. Regardless, it's not some shell created to perpetuate a scam; it owns a ton of tv and radio stations.

by tempestn 3y ago
Perhaps, but Cox Media Group is a pretty fair sized company, and its parent, Cox Enterprises, is a giant. This isn't some company made up to push this specific service.

After you receive it, you can take it to a jeweler for confirmation. If it was falsely represented, eBay should back your return claim.

I found this page after being pitched the service directly by a salesperson at Cox Media Group. They're claiming to target ads in real time based on private conversations overheard by people's phones.

Yes, there is no upside for them to explicitly say you can opt out of training using these methods if it's not true. They are already facing copyright infringement lawsuits, and clearly more will come, so if they were lying about this,

It's a shame. Even before Omegle, I remember when ICQ had a random match text chat feature. I had some great conversations on there. Briefly used Omegle for the same, but even years back when I tried it the signal to noise was a lot lo

My point was that you could imagine an alternate history where people landed on base-8 (which of course would still be called "base-10" in that timeline) because of 8 fingers ignoring thumbs. And that that would have had some adva

Only slightly related, but I sometimes wonder how much more advanced we might be if we'd lucked into adopting a base-8 number system (8 fingers, ignoring the thumbs!) instead of base-10. Obvious comp-sci benefits aside, imagine the uti
