Meanwhile I can't even find this reported in any major newspaper. If MSF was making this statement about Syria or something I would think it would be newsworthy. So a fringe is protesting (in some places at high personal cost) while mo

They appear to be trying to end the cycle once and for all. And they have bullied/co-opted the rest of the world into silence or indifference.

I don't follow Musk on any social media, do not engage with any of his posts, or any even mildly related posts. Yet everytime I login, there he is again at the top of my timeline usually promoting some inane conspiracy theory. Does he

Does the current version of their app run on 25% of the most popular models? This update runs a classifier on your phone. I imagine that would be no less restrictive than the barometer requirement.

I second this. I just fear the hype surrounding generative AI is leading to extreme tunnel vision and neglect of other promising tech (cough crypto) and even other areas in ML and deep learning that might actually be more fruitful for Agi.

I think what they're saying is in the times of Mozart, Beethoven etc you would not have been able to survive exclusively or mainly as a composer for piano. A career like Chopin's was only possible later on when music and the arts
