In 2012, they brought in $788,526 - where did that go? Who is the leader of the indigenous community making these decisions? Was the journalist able to get a comment from them? If not, why not?

This is a very popular take on here, IANAS but I’m not sure it’s that well supported. For one, there’s a significant lag which means that we’re only seeing a fraction of the effect from the drop in emissions. To attribute the majority of th

I think it’s probably harder and less rewarding to manage a community where you’re constantly taking flak for a technical decision people don’t like (and which those people generally don’t engage with the pros and cons of said decision!)

Seems like a little bit of a switch-up to conflate “green” with “energy-efficient”. Obviously an efficient hybrid is better than a full ICE car, but what happens when (if?) the energy system is fully electrified? That said, I understand not

Ah, that’s really disappointing (although not a surprise, really). I know they took some heat in 2021 for calling out Uyghur labour, but I suppose actually riding it from their supply chain is too difficult and too expensive.

They also don’t use Uyghur slave labour, as far as I’m aware

It would be useful in conjunction with other data, but wouldn’t the model just learn the logic of the obfuscation code (unless perhaps you heavily regularised it?)

This is a backhanded compliment. Nothing pg says about Altman is straightforwardly positive; although he deliberately phrases things in a way that lots of American struggle to read negatively.

The Times has lurched extremely far right within the last decade. The main difference between it and the Telegraph or Daily Mail is one of tone rather than content. The FT certainly has its biases but I agree that it is generally the most r

That’s a really interesting perspective, I think it makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about this alongside the emergence of magical realism in literature, but it looks like that took off a touch late (1920s per Wikipedia). It’s possible

Okay, sure. But TFA isn’t about Lewis not condemning the Guilty and Bad SBF, it’s about Lewis falling short on his own terms. > Lewis paints a portrait of Sam as singularly motivated by doing the EV-maximizing thing despite the social a

I don’t really understand how this relates to the article. Nowhere does the author suggest that we should be spoon-fed moralisms. Instead, it argues that Lewis’s perspective and approach missed a fundamental part of the story he’s trying to

Thanks - I think I understand you a bit better now. I suppose I was arguing that genetics is a simple system with emergent complexity (and that perhaps LLMs could be too), but I suspect that betrays my limited understanding of genetics! &gt

Okay, but it’s still a world model, just slightly different in kind? What about multi-modal models that are trained on text and images? What about something trained on images, audio, sensorimotor inputs? At what point does that change? Didn

At some point, with limited constraints, the best way to predict the next token is to have a deep understanding of the world that produced those tokens. This is, as I understand it, a key part of the scaling hypothesis. Very interesting to
