Ever notice how the US government was set up as a group of competing powers? Or how parliamentary systems have similar competition between parties, a senate, and the monarchy or wtvr? It’s almost like you can’t trust any one group with powe

Something you can try for yourself with GPT-4 (it didn’t work with 3.5): get it to navigate around the streets of a city. I made up some street and avenue names and had it travel around from intersection to intersection. It did perfectly wh

Premium subscribers. Offer a token benefit to people who pay, can even be something worthless like flair on a username or listing their name in the “credits” or “hall of fame”. Then advertise it on your site and make it easy for people to p

Why would they be less authoritarian if they weren’t anti West? This sounds a lot like the argument that the only reason communist countries terrorize, murder and starve their own people is because of the evil capitalist in other countries

Thanks! Still does nothing to break the association with the other definition for me though so I’ll add ERP vendors to the list of things to giggle at

We don’t drink directly from streams or pools of water. Pre-technology humans would have had to use their hands to scoop water to their mouths and it’s more efficient when your mouth is closer to the water source since you don’t lose as muc

I will worry once someone lays out a fully implemented plan for world domination achievable by one or more humans who are not allowed to leave their house. All the hand waving about what methods an AGI would use to kill all humans could equ

The link is the collapse of our civilization. It’s not a certainty but it’s a knife edge we’ll need to walk. We need a lot more automation to start with since the labor pool is going to dry up and there will be massive competition for immig

We’ve already reversed population growth everywhere except Africa and they’ll only be a decade or two behind. We need to stabilize it if we’re going to avoid population and then civilization collapse. Civilizational collapse is bad for the
