I dunno, I feel Children concentration camps, where kids are kept drugged takes the lead by far

I looked and there are a handful of African countries with GDPs higher than about half of US states (not per capita those aren't even in the same ballpark). California really does keep this country alive.

Huh, there is a video with an expat in China that discusses how he jaywalked at an intersection with cameras and 20 seconds later his bank account was debited the fine amount. If their system is automated to that degree, hopefully it is significantly more accurate. Then again, it's China so they might be less concerned with offloading the duty to prove innocence to the victim.

Because "AI" is often just a short-hand for using huge amounts of computational power to replicate complicated patterns in the real-world training data. It turns out racism is also complicated pattern of behavior in the real-world. Sometimes, the correct real-world prediction for things like arrests is "the cops will act like racists." Likewise, sometimes the correct prediction for real-world …

I feel trump is a symptom of a serious ill in the usa ever since the Civil War. Those who lost the Civil War never quite accepted it, and that ill has manifested itself consistently since then in the form of a heavily divided nation.

Give it a few more years of British economic decline and we might be bussing out thousands of UK workers every summer to pick fruit on the continent. We could get another run of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

What a shitty headline and article. Antibodies do not show up after a few months. They essentially lie dormant until needed and can't be detected by our tests.

There were church bells ringing in Paris. It sounded like VE day. Given the GOP's affinity for Nazis, it's not inappropriate. Holy shit! Can you imagine being so despised that your election defeat is met with dancing, church bells, and fireworks AROUND THE DAMN WORLD?

The president congratulated Biden; https://twitter.com/BorutPahor/status/1325136912420536325?s=20 The Prime Minister is figuring out how to get himself out of the hole he dug, probably going to blame the communists.

Well retirement in the sense of the current social contract was doomed anyway with declining birth rates, that wasn't the recession. What was an absolute lunacy after 08 was not augmenting the system in a social way. I mean, subpriming is still a very popular thing.

It wasn't forced, AZ was licensed the vaccine by OU, where the requirement was to sell at cost for the duration of the pandemic (the date is a grey area right now I think). Merck was frontrunner to produce it, but there were concerns about US export controls under the Trump administration. Now it IS possible that AZ were not interested in making it, but were persuaded by the UK government.

Someone who wants to create a database of biometric data, obviously. Looking at the privacy statement from the IRS’s website, it said the data could be handed over to law enforcement agencies for official purposes, which…fuck that.

Unfortunately, people who can't tell the difference between an OBVIOUSLY faked social media video WITHOUT deepfake and a real one will continue to believe anything no matter how fuckin' stupid it is. I just watched some ridiculously stupid video trending on Facebook where a woman breaks up with her cheating boyfriend by having him keep pulling out notes as if undressing her. It's so massively c…

The first robot that can autonomously replicate itself will be the beginning. At that point it just becomes a race to beat them before they eat all the resources available. Recursive robots.

This is a great post. I am an attorney and have been experimenting with 4's ability to help with brief and motion drafting and have found much of your insight to be true. I can't just say draft me a motion on X, much like you can't just say write me a book on Y. It's easier to ask for an outline first, then feed it some facts before directing it to write one section at a time. It's an iterative…

Sure, here's a potential plot for a new Adam Sandler movie with Rob Schneider co-starring: Title: "The Search for the Stapler" Adam Sandler plays Tim, a disorganized and scatterbrained office worker who is constantly losing important documents and misplacing supplies. One day, he realizes that his trusty stapler, which he has relied on for years, is missing. After searching high and low and tur…

And how will you know and enforce this? If someone wrote a skript with the help of AI (in terms of getting ideas) there is no way to tell. All the known "check if this was made by AI" things are utter crap. People think this is going to stop this? No. It will just not be mentioned. Especially in creative departments

It’s pretty good for a lot of repeatable stuff but falls somewhat flat when it comes to problem solving. I actually don’t get a lot out of it myself other than explaining concepts I need to get my work done because it lacks in depth domain knowledge. What OPs company does must be more repeatable in nature like front end work which ChatGPT excels at more. It could also just be a short sig…

BTW how is the situation over there? I remember watching a bunch of videos a few months back about daily rolling blackouts, gangs supposedly being paid by contractors to destroy infrastructure so they can rebuild it for $$$, and whites starting to form their own isolated armed communities. Are things getting better?

Well that’s also ridiculous - they can’t accuse someone without providing anything that looks at all like evidence. I’d raise hell over it. Otherwise it will keep happening. What are you supposed to do? Deliberately seek out phrasing that isn’t showing up in lazy ChatGPT prompts? It has a decent stab at all of human writing in it!
