Have you only read books you own the copyright to? What’s the legal distinction between you learning and AI learning?

The output isn’t interesting if we don’t know what the prompt was. What, specifically, concerns you about this output without knowing the prompt? > Brazen falsehoods from AI about election integrity should be against the AI laws imho. So

People always seem to engage in such manipulative behaviors when seeking to “call out” Elon Musk. For example, Media Matters hiding their methodology of following racist accounts and refreshing the page until an incredibly rare event of a m

According to statistics, too: 2:1 civilian:Hamas ratio according to the IDF, with 5000 from Hamas dead and 10,000 civilians dead [0]; Gaza’s population is about half under 18 [1]. So if you figure deaths among civilians are random, then abo

I have a similar question: What happens to quantum tangles[0] that get inflated? — do they melt or is it possible for them to absorb energy in a hard to interact with state? Eg, is the reason dark matter looks like a braid that it is? — and

A shame EQGroup tightened their security and we’ll possibly never see the other examples. But probably for the best, considering the havoc EternalBlue caused.

Where you lose me is declaring it’s a power that the executive must have without legislative authorization. (And similarly, the other branches.) Where does that come from?

I think the US suffered minor attacks on the mainland and invasion of Alaskan islands in WW2, in addition to the more well-known attacks at Pearl Harbor and Midway. Not sure if enough happened to count, though.

That’s exactly the point: we want division to model inverses of multiplication, but an inverse requires a 1-1 relationship. What the vertical line tells us is that division by zero can’t map to a unique value — it has to give us back the wh

by zmgsabst 3y ago
> 0 is always going to be a special case for division in real numbers. Right — because it’s impossible to have an inverse of zero multiplication. Eg, 0 = 0 + 0 -> 1 = 1 + 1 -> 0 = 1 if you have a multiplicative inverse to 0, and he

Where is that power defined in the constitution? I’m unaware of the “state secret” clause in the executive section, while Congress is explicitly granted the power “To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces

Amusingly, the cell is about halfway between the radius of the observable universe (4.4 * 10^26 meters) and Planck length (1.6 * 10^-35 meters), at between 10^-4 and 10^-5 meters, or 0.1mm and 0.01mm. About the size of a eukaryotic cell, in

Russia’s war in Ukraine is about NATO being on their doorstep and the failure of negotiated peace. That doesn’t change that the US trained and armed Banderites in Ukraine.

Banderites: followers of Stepan Bandera. You know, those people with Nazi insignia that are celebrated as heroes in Ukraine. And feature in NATO photos. https://www.newsweek.com/nato-says-it-didnt-notice-ukraine-s...

We’re currently at the start of WW3, as NATO vs BRICS escalates. The waste of the US military in Iraq, the defeat in Afghanistan, the failures of domestic spying and PSYOPs dividing the nation, and the failed war in Ukraine has precipitated

“My herd is fine — I can just keep buying replacement cows!” This suggests that something is deeply wrong with society in at least two places: 1. whatever is distressing the native population so badly they stopped breeding; and, 2. casual p

They don’t share your assumption a super intelligent AGI is a problem.

You’re assuming your conclusion by saying AI is like a gun. That’s not a rational argument for why we should be concerned — you merely asserted you were. Why is catering to your feelings the default position?

You forgot the part where your AI evolves into a reseller of cheap ad-based products, which you order to satisfy the ad AI — bringing the entire AI ecosystem into a large MLM scheme.

Well yeah, we’re finite beings so the things “like us” tend to be finite as well — what we study in physics. A real number is what happens when you reach the end of an infinitely long light ray — the sum of such a journey. We don’t experien

…based on your specialized knowledge. See my example about lawyers: > Eg, lawyers were never part of the proletariat — yet they also need to work to survive. Perhaps you could address that.

Institutional racism happens against white people — and denying that is supporting racism, even by your modern definition meant to minimize the on-going racism of the Democratic Party. Eg, this racist policy by Democrats. https:/&#x2F

No, not really: Of 10,000,000+ arrests per year, only around 1,000 end in death of which 20-50 had unarmed deceased. You’re more likely to die of a traffic accident this year (1 in 10,000) than die from police while being arrested unarmed (
