You seem to be saying the same thing- Googles best work is in the past, their current offerings are underwhelming, even if foundational to the progress of others.

I was on the board of a similar municipal effort in the mid-west. Comcast sent in 3rd party consultants to scare residents and mis-represent every aspect of the effort. Thankfully the public vote for the infrastructure passed anyway.

If it is widely perceived as a massive problem, why are there no moves to change the system? The intransigence shows there is no recognition of the problem, or the perverse incentives prevent change, which is the same problem at another lev

There's one CEO, and n employees. The one will always receive preferred treatment, over the many. Is it pretty fucked up that 1+1=2? Both are constants in the universe. Whether he did a good job is irrelevant, he did a job and got paid

Most professionals didn't think we were close to surpassing human capability in chess, go, or dota, until after it happened. I've seen little evidence of expert domain knowledge improving AI forecasting ability, if anything it see

I wonder how long before we're hearing about egregores in common parlance. Corporations are already acknowledged as having freedom of speech in America, that's half way there.

Ilya's latest tweet speaks for itself. Nothing about this was professional - "I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do

We're still in the early days of LLM training- saying that datasets are tapped is like saying we hit peak oil in 1880. This is still early days for the field, and it's not clear how efficient new training methods might become, or

Unless Sam was using the AI to commit satanic sacrifices, it's hard to see what warrants expulsion at all, let alone immediate termination. If they did have such a compelling reason to stuff their own reputation, they did a horrible jo

Just a wallet on a lanyard to hang around your neck, assuming it's like ones I've seen. I've seen used in less safe countries to avoid pickpockets, not sure if there's other reasons. The benefits of a fanny pack without

Does that error message really confirm qdrant for Chat? It's just failing to index a file called 'qdrant', and I don't see any further proof offered in that thread.

An Obama assassination might have led to a more immediate George Floyd style disruption of major cities. The murder of the first black president is a chilling possibility to think about. Trumps assassination might have been equally toxic, g

The war was decided because Putin had no choice. America was openly and brazenly interfering in Ukrainian politics.[1] What possible point could that have? Why groom an Ukrainian government unless it is going to be leveraged? The expansion

Yes, 'just walk away' from international policy and leave the United States to control global affairs, what a totally reasonable position for China, one of the most populous and powerful nations on earth. The United States turns t

Even if they had no designs on Taiwan, China would still be in U.S. crosshairs.

As it should be- think of the possible abuse if a government entity could send you private information 'by mistake', and then be able to mandate a search of your property for that info.

Isn't that the key take away? Legal plagiarism is rampant in the corporate world. Trying to root it out at the university level now that LLMs have trivialized content stealing seems like a waste of time.

I don't think people are familiar with how that structure implies the part is greater than the whole. A lunar ideology hiding within the solar.

Theater, imagination, the suspension of disbelief? Theater was a central Bacchic practice, and Bacchus/Dionysus is at once the height of loss of self control, and deeply cthonic. Death overturned by the relinquishing of self, through s

You could call it a statement of faith, but I would be very interested in any study showing that suppression of information leads to more factually correct opinions. But of course, if such studies existed, they should be suppressed, in orde

The best and only way to counter anti-truth is with truth, usually meaning transparency. There are always going to be non-conforming groups, you shouldn't be worried about countering their views explicitly if you're worried about

It's not close to, it is the instantiation of a collective intelligence. That the corpus was produced atemporally, doesn't matter, the responses are aionic. Any response is a slice of the past, present, and future, in the same way
