@HarrisonLongmore-th3bk Kwebblekop literally replaced HIMSELF with an AI. He doesn’t even write the scripts or play the games anymore.

​@EliteDragonMaster udio (ai music), suno v3 (ai music), sora (video generator), claude 3 (better than gpt-4), 1 million context for llms, figure 01, llama 3 (open source llm that is on the same level as gpt-4) this was all released in a span of just two months. ai is progressing, in fact, very fast, and i dont think we're overstimating

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) [discussing the Doomsday machine] President Merkin Muffley: How is it possible for this thing to be triggered automatically and at the same time impossible to untrigger? Dr. Strangelove: Mr. President, it is not only possible, it is essential. That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of …

This won't happen in economic isolation. Incomes and spending power for average people in the developed world have been on the slide for a couple of decades. But, more and more of what we need is not counted by regular GDP measurements in the growth/capitalist part of the economy. We are due a heavy dose of deflation in the 2020's. As more and more jobs are replaced by AI - think Doctors, Law…

At present I am running with the assumption that this is *NOT* a hacked server on the part of teamviewer (there's no evidence to support that assertion, yet), but is instead an exploitation of device discovery and "allow remote control". Allow remote control makes it so your computer is able to be remote controlled by a "support" technician, which is all well and good. Older versions of TeamV…

At least according to Google's self-reported statistics, their self driving cars get in slightly more accidents per mile driven than 16 year old drivers, and 4 times as many accidents than the average human driver. They aren't at fault in most of these accidents, but they get hit a lot, probably due to being unpredictable to human drivers.

Making a specific complaint against the asshole CO or the COs in general isnt going to help her sis and in all likelihood will make it even worse. The DOC will view her own bra as contraband and applaud the asshole CO for following the letter of the law. Better to go through the legal system to get a DOC issued bra that fits and an 8x day pumping allowance. Bottom line: will a judge be more amen…

It's like they watched Mr Robot and thought Evil Corp had all the best ideas

It's not news because people are bad at statistics, you just don't understand why people are upset. You are correct that this is an *extremely* accurate system from a statistical and technological perspective. 99.5% accuracy is quite good. But you're still wrong. The fact remains - the overwhelming majority of people flagged were false positives. This *isn't* an argument that the system i…

It was flooding in San Diego because of rain. Think maybe you can tone down the rain dancing. Thanks

To be fair they have one of the lowest renewable energy % in the world. They are definitely not leading the way - yet.

The 2008 crisis and now this one caused s hyperinflation in job requirements. When you have PhDs willing to work as lab techs to put food on the table, the companies are unwilling to give Masters without 10 years of experience even a phone screen. I graduated last year with a Masters in Biochem Engineering +3 years in the industry before my graduate degree. Took me 10 months to find a job and it'…

International agreements don't mean shit for this kind of tech. There's a tiny chance that everyone cooperates. However, there's a much greater likelihood that somebody doesn't cooperate. The danger of being caught short is also immense. So, the risk (likelihood of running into autonomous combat drones x danger) encourages everybody to build them. It's suicide not to. In fact, the dream scenar…

They've tried a few but found no measurable benefit over the original recipe, so they haven't developed them further. If Omicron shows escape potential, then yes, they will (probably started drafting up plans already). There are also different vaccine delivery systems being developed/trialed from patches (adheres to skin) to sprays (in the nose). Though don't know which strains those are based …

From a technological perspective this test is a little misinformed, in my opinion. The UI (which is probably just a command line or similar) is almost certainly not a part of the language model, and the AI would have to have discovered and exploited some serious security flaws to make a red dot appear. To put it another way you could give me (a human being with a decade's education/experience in…

Captialism is good at _minimizing_ the utilization of new technology because you can't capitalize on something that's abundant, so you need to construct competitive advantages via artificial scarcity. It'll be interesting to see how capitalism with its one-dimensional lens onto the world will react to AI becoming increasingly useful. It tends to lock down access to new resources and build contr…

Even if both estimates are true, it's still bad for the job market because the global population increase is an average of 67M per year. Given the date of the article, that means 3 yr spam, so about 200M people globally. You can extrapolate that roughly the same amount of people will join the job market. That means that while normally 1 in 2 people would find a job, due to AI that number would be…

There's a lot of financial questions about the current AI discourse people don't think about. Here's my main "problem no one is thinking about:" The cost of actually implementing AI for a business. OpenAI is doing what most venture-backed startups do: Rapidly introduce and market a "disruptive" new technology without a clear path to profitability. Once they've ingrained this tech into our daily…

Exactly. I worry that a lot of, lets say "technology enthusiasts," are letting their enthusiasm sweep them away with the new shiny thing. I like shiny things too. But we've seen catastrophic consequences of shiny new tech being upheld beyond its capabilities before, and I'd rather we not do the same thing here.

I think the idea of finding useful info others have created has value. I get what Google is afraid of it replacing the search engine. Let’s get back to logic and rational for a moment. It’s logical that humans can produce better original content, that is true. The problem is that users can’t always access this content or know how to. We’ve created this endless internet with endless inform…
