I am repulsed by this because it will obviously be the vehicle through which tax money will be directed into Altman & Co's pockets, but I also understand that they will get bailed out whether…

Or, as the extreme claim (and the one that I believe), all of them are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphenomenalism …

Seems like LLMs are that. A bunch of most probable word associations is a network, and you can build a physical model of a network, or build a network that allows you to reason about a physical mode…

But where's the revenue from those? It has to add up to a couple trillion dollars to break even on the capital spending.

I worked for the state and had to participate in procurement. Not only did they do this, but when we were purchasing commonly available things, we purchased them from weird insider vendors whose catal…

But the news!

The vast majority of people do not work jobs that they enjoy, that is a middle-class indulgence and ideal that they don't even live up to; almost all their literature is about why they should be …

Did any of that signal come from people who hadn't spent the last 40 or 50 years working, in a society constructed around working? If I had a study that showed increased mortality in people who h…

This is untrue. You cannot imagine a world where people, without changing the definition of people, don't need oxygen to breathe. "they still do" is just begging the question. Plenty of…

Density trashes a location.

I have no idea how this was published or why it has generated discussion. The "surprising" discovery that the author made is that you don't just write something all the way through with…

Especially when the chance they'll get that bailout is around 99.9999999%. That bag has already been got. Doesn't matter if AI ultimately turns out to be useless for anything but children&#x…

> It's the kind of money that gets people fired 1. It's not, and 2. Who cares if somebody gets fired for PR purposes? Especially with a severance that will make sure that their great-gran…

The future of the US depends on political candidates attempting to win the public over on the merits of their argument and the quality of their character instead of being conmen on billionaire payroll…

2001. Pretending that all of this was started by the game show host wrestling valet is dumb, and the kind of thing that got us into this situation. Every evil thing that Trump is doing is something th…

I've had multiple models give the same wrong answer or even fabricate the same nonexistent reference based on a similar prompt. My most common chatbot prompt is "X that you mentioned above d…

People keep asking "where is the psychosis?" as a reply to people on the rapidly multiplying "CEOs have AI psychosis" threads that have been popping up here and cross-pollinating i…

I love what they're calling here "zero-player" games. They're automatons that you can build other games on top of (often in combination with other automatons) or, like this, they a…

The answer to the question asked is not here. Accusing somebody of seeing "visions" is not an answer, it is an evasion.

I already feel disrespected if a colleague makes me feel like sending it. If a friend tells me to get him a beer from the fridge because they're too lazy to get up, 7/10 times I'm going…

> At some point, Uber and Lyft stopped being service providers that charged riders a fee for value provided. They were only ever this for about 30 seconds between when they were dumping investor ca…

I must be stupid. Reword this so it makes sense to me. I can't even parse it.

Absolutely trivial and totally comprehensive solution, enabling adult content blocking at the account level, device level, network level, and the ISP level. Could even be expanded to any sort of conte…

We need to bring Yahoo! back. Now that we have AI, there's all the reason to go back to directories rather than searches, especially since searches have been faked for years now, and have just be…

Absolutely a PR campaign. People started getting upset about the array of bizarre chemicals in their foods and the minimal standards and regulations about introducing new ones (or disclosing completel…
