Barring the singularity, just because you find something with search doesn’t mean you can’t understand why it’s better.

Can anyone explain in simple terms what the actual harm would be of allowing everyone to generate images with whatever racial composition they desired? If you can specify the skin colour one way you can do it the other ways as well and inst

Original sources aren’t necessarily infallible either, but that’s beside the point, asking ChatGPT needs to be viewed as asking a person to recount something from memory. It hasn’t been reviewed or edited so it’s like a first draft rather t

They just want to reinforce their own bias that OpenAI BAD and DUMB, rationalism GOOD! When it’s their own fault for not understanding enough theory to know what happens if there were to be a loss of precision in the predicted embedding vec

Yuck. So many half truths and outright lies. This is straight up propaganda. Look into any of the assertions given here and you’ll see what I mean. Designed to fool headline readers only.

It won’t last. There’s a massive incentive to build more GPUs and develop specialized chips and everyone who can is scrambling to meet that demand. The technology is not some trade secret that no one can copy which is why there are so many

Honestly, I don’t think the unemployment rate will change much. Humans are great at inventing things to do and if other people see those things as valuable they will pay for them. I do think the world will look very different, maybe even un

In what way does anyone have a monopoly on generated images and video? Last I checked there were several major players and more startups than you can shake a stick at.

I’m pretty sure you could record and transcribe in person meetings just as easily. I’d bet there are several services doing that now but it would also be an incredibly simple project to build in house. The only problem is identifying who is

Despite all your bluster you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about if you think exoplanet detection techniques can tell us if there is even a single radio transmitter on that planet.

If you have an AI capable of writing machine code based on natural language you likely also have an AI that can translate that machine code to any other language you would like. You could then use a normal compiler to verify if it is correc

by throwuwu 3y ago
While I do think we’ll go through a phase where AI writes a significant amount of code I think it will eventually replace the need for most software. To illustrate what I mean, take your browser example. Why would you even want a browser wh

This already happens when you compile code for a specific architecture. The thing you fear will happen has already happened and we’re fine. I’d worry more about generated code from an AI that doesn’t fully understand the codebase. That woul

Who are you responding to? I gave one reason and it’s called the inverse square law. The distances we’re talking about are unimaginably huge so the chances of any signal reaching us is practically zero unless it’s close by (within a few hun

Pomodoro never worked for me since I work best when I get into flow and keep going for 1 to 4 hours. What I have found helps is planning as much as possible up front and dedicating time to do so. I braindump everything then when that’s exha

Hard to say what would happen but I think we still need to avoid the assumption that each star system remains relatively static especially over very long periods of time. You also need to consider the purpose behind colonization, if it is t

You should really look into the limits of radio astronomy, it’s not as easy as you seem to think.

If we’re talking specifically about interstellar craft with enough shielding to survive an uncontrolled reentry at high velocity then what the heck are those going to be doing near a planet? Sublight travel would have to be performed by cra

No, I imagine them doing exactly the same thing we are: using more and more efficient methods of communication as we develop them. Compressing and encoding data, focusing our transmissions where they need to be instead of blasting at max po

Video and audio presentations are a much slower way to ingest information, even when played at 2x speed. Text on a page allowed the reader to rapidly scan back to previous points to make connections between concepts. Similarly you can scan

What if they’re really greedy about energy and store everything they can in superconductors?

I don’t think we’re going to build rock crushers in space. With all that available energy it’d make more sense to just throw the whole rock into a smelter and fractionate the elements as they boil off. Why waste the slag either? You need al

You might want to check the physics on your assertion that a starship could take out a city. It’d have to be designed to do so otherwise it would just vaporize as it entered the atmosphere at the velocity you’d need for that kind of impact.

If you assume FTL travel will never be developed then distance and time are simple limiting factors. How do you keep a cohesive civilization going when communication takes 200 years? Or even just 20? Here on Earth entirely new languages and
