Yeah I was gonna say, this story sounded familiar. Props to Brian Dunning on this one for apparently being one of the few to actually look at the context of the publishing of this story. It appeared with a bunch of other stories in that new

Skeptoid did an article on this story. It appeared with a bunch of other stories in that newspaper that were pretty clearly jokes. >In one, an "aerial monster" landed in a field, piloted by men from New York. In another, the cr

If I recall correctly, the whole point was that aligned goals are super hard to do, and that this is what leads to the robots creating a secret robot illuminati that takes over world leadership without anyone realizing they're voting f

I suppose. But even though I've definitely dealt with poorly-named microservices in my career, I can't really say as I've come across many that stuck out to me as being especially misleading, and not to the point where it was

So basically descriptive names might eventually become non-descriptive, or loosely connected. "Cute" names are ALWAYS non-descriptive or loosely connected though. So at worst, a descriptive name eventually becomes as bad as a cu

Bit of a side note, but while I agree on #2, I'm not too keen on what happens when it gets good enough that you're no longer the one using it to bypass people, your (former) boss is instead...

I asked it to explain it to me like I'm Shrek. Imagine that the GPS satellites orbiting the Earth are like the magic lanterns in the sky, sending signals down to a receiver (like the one in your phone or car). The receiver can use thos

The context is literally that parenthesis are token weight multipliers, so he's multiplying the importance of "disfigured feet" to the negative prompt by 1.1 three times. There are even other tokens in there that he multiples

I'll play devil's advocate here. While we see stuff like this in sci-fi a lot, it's also an extremely common opinion that the Internet and constant connectedness we have have massively exacerbated anxiety, loneliness, and dep

Yeah the sped-up and micro-edited content is hard to miss after you start spotting it. I've definitely stopped watching certain channels just because of how grating it is

Considering the unintended and unforseen side effects of health that our current interfaces have had on our bodies and minds, I'm way more freaked out by the possibilities of what could go wrong sticking a direct I/O device into m

I see my lawyer friends going through hell working 80+ hrs a week thanklessly doing those things. I just hope that it doesn't replace good lawyers, but rather actually allow them to have sane lives instead of burning out less than five

Collectively, sure. How did that go for the people who's livelihoods got replaced though? I've had family members be forced to change careers from white-collar work after being laid off and unable to find engineering jobs due to p

I did this and it is pretty inconsistent. It kept telling me I was using the wrong version of a library (which from what I could tell by looking at documentation was just not correct, but I didn't look into it too long), and at one poi
