Sure, but how can anyone know that rate of progress will continue?

Yes, or perhaps more subtly, those who are heavily invested in AI don't much care about whether you think it's dangerous or not, or even useful or not, but they do care very much that you think it's a very important question

I suspect that avgcorrection is suggesting that we don't have enough evidence to know whether either is the case.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood "shipping products" to mean "physical shipping of physical products".

I don't know; what happens? I'd really like to know what people are imagining it could do, especially if they've got some evidence for it!

I see, well, good luck with it!

I'm thinking of something at a larger scale. In some sense models that "wow" society get more interest and funding.

In my opinion space leaks are a big deal in Haskell. I come across them fairly often and they cause big problems for the kind of software I write. Luckily they are also easy to avoid. I wrote an article about how to eliminate half of t

Seems reasonable to me. I'd probably use it!

Their instructions could stand to be more thorough. If you have hashed hostnames in your known_hosts, you don't just have to ssh-keygen -R github.com you also have to ssh-keygen -R 140.82.121.3 which is the IP addres

I think there's something to this. I have a theory that LLMs are implicitly trained primarily to impress people, since that's what motivates those who work on them, excites the general public, and convinces conferences to publish

It's called "narrow banking" and apparently it doesn't make things as safe as you might think. Here's some reading: https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/r

Seconded. ‘“Latest generation” is poorly-behaved’ is a tale as old as time. ‘“Latest generation” has lost interest in life” is something quite different.

It seems to me that this is extremely unlikely to be true under corporate law. Do you have a reference? In particular, there is no unique group or shareholders that makes the majority!

Do you have any good references to start learning about control theory? I'm after something for someone who already knows all the relevant mathematics but is unfamiliar with the applications.
