artificially-flavoured is also a tic unless the author was trying to make fun of load-bearing, but it’s a bit too subtle to make the point

This isn’t moral panic, it’s saying “hey, all these influential people are intimately connected across the strongest possible dimensions (money, sex, belief and legal grey areas), we should probably pay attention to that”

Cool as long as I can still have my own firepit in my backyard, have a campfire when I go camping, have a gas stove, a furnace, birthday candles, etc.

Pretty funny how the author fails to identify what the new jobs will be like and then immediately follows it up with the answer but in a way that is oblivious to what is of value in a post scarcity world: AI cannot be human. The flop is tha

This is the same description as any other technology including fire.

It should be easy to calculate this for your own needs based on your playlists. The advantage of buying is that you build up your own catalog of artists that you listen to regularly which means you don’t have to keep paying for them. So, at

You’re leaving out some options for sure. Not everyone would need to live under the conditions of a police state, you could theoretically screen everyone and assign them to various levels of risk which would determine their level of supervi

Development and improvement of nuclear weapons was an entirely American project until the technology was exfiltrated and then it became an instant arms race. That cat is already out of the bag with LLMs. Distillation is just the fastest way

Nah, it’s just a deliberate setup for a false flag attack by “rogue AGI” which will necessitate widespread crackdowns on internet access and computer ownership so that control over communications can be centralized again.

I can’t help but laugh at this, it’s like a comedy skit with two people with different European accents accusing each other of being American.

We’re watching a repeat of the arguments against Chess and Go engines. It’s all computation, humans just can’t always experience or explain the computation they are doing at the time so we call it creativity instead.

You could do it for less than half that cost if you do your own labour. I actually came into the article thinking that’s what they did but was disappointed.

I’m sure it would be fine for simple routine tasks but it wouldn’t compete with OpenAI and Anthropic models

From what’s presented this seems to be the lower end of Q&A and reasoning tasks and not long horizon agentic work. I agree that the search engine replacement AI usage is something that can run anywhere (though it’s still better run in t

This is very poignant. The entities that controlled the content broadcast over radio and TV or what was published in books and newspapers had an enormous impact on both culture and language. Radio and print didn’t just transmit the voice of

The bigger problem is its effect on the way we use language. The amount of LLM generated or edited media is going to keep increasing and the media that people consume affects their own word choice.

No, it doesn’t intimate that the judge would forgive benign or joke attempts at prompt injection to “expose” the use of AI, the article specifically mentions that the judge sanctioned them as a result of them continuing to add hidden text t

I always assumed it was just a form of fingerprinting or the result thereof.

Being an Uber driver has nothing to do with starting your own business. You don’t even need to start a business to be a capitalist, just buy capital that can earn you money. That can be as simple as putting a portion of your savings in stoc

The title is incredibly misleading. AI is not using anything that would go towards the “billions” presented in the article. So unless they are proposing moving the billions to North America in lieu of building datacenters then I don’t see a

I use AI for practically everything but I never outsource judgement calls to it, wish you luck, I’d love to see the postmortem.

We need a new caveat cliche for these headlines like how people love to reply “in mice” to health research. For environmental research it’s almost always “in the 3rd world”

I’m not calling for a revolution but we need to identify and address problems before they get out of control in order to fix them incrementally.

It’s quite easy when the effects are small at first and the changes occur over decades. People just get used to the smaller changes or were not alive to experience the earlier state. Only when things become so unstable that any minor change

This is much too simplistic and ignores the compounding effects of bad decisions. It’s basically an argument for the happy path where nothing goes wrong but things have been going wrong for a long time. We are facing many economic, politica

You wouldn’t level the entire country, Tehran is a massive target with a handful of other major centres. Comparisons to Vietnam forget the fact that Iran is very arid and highly dependent on infrastructure for water and energy. No power, wa

The issue is restraint, an all out bombing campaign with no regard for civilians or international condemnation would do the job in a month
