No, there isn't, stop rushing to make defenses on things you don't now about. Just because it is open source doesn't mean manufacturing and distribution isn't locally regulated and there are no standards. Penicillin has no patens attached to it, but go on and make some and try to sell or even just give for free. See how fast you go to jail in most of the planet, and if you do find yourself somewh…

It'd probably best if the person in question learned enough Mandarin to say it unambiguously. Of course, now the translation staff are doubly confused that they need to translate the <US?> official's Chinese speech back to English.

It’s because he is black. Straight up. The algorithms have biases. They are better at determining minute differences in white faces, but can’t distinguish the same in black or Asian faces.

I highly recommend the book "Automate the boring stuff with Python" for anyone trying to automate tasks, although some stuff is a little outdated.

Fun fact: Engineers tried building a robot that could do just that! It wasn't hard to build the robot, but when it came to program it to figure out how to fold the laundry ... it turns out that the physics of clothing are *faaaaar* beyond our best supercomputers still. Seriously. There are a nearly infinite number of ways a simple washcloth can be found in, and figuring out where to grab a piece …

It really depends on what kind of base axioms do you set the AI up with. If it's wired to maximize the number of improved lives then yes, it'll call for enforcing equality. If you build your AI for profit with some transhumanist-extropian set of base assumptions then it'll just tell you to drop labour regulations and hike healthcare pricing to finance your anti-aging delusions.

This was actually, in part, Sam Altman's own prediction. He thinks that a lot of companies are gonna realize that if chatGPT can help a programmer/engineer write 10X the code for the same price, they are going to be very happy cause most companies could use a lot more code than they are currently producing.

Yesterday I asked it if chicken hurt when laying egg and the first line of its response was "As an AI model I can't hurt or feel" lmao

This is just the beginning. It is like 1975 when MOS6502 was released. A cheap CPU making computers accessible to masses. Apple, Commodore, Atari. All the legendary 8 bit games. All the 80s pop culture was shaped by it. But in 1975 nobody could see how that thing shapes the whole next dexade. If we would halt all new AI development now, heck you can even ban developing faster hardware too, give…

I think, with nukes, our leaders had some idea and were ultimately the driving force. It was all part of the war effort, that kinda thing. Experts were willing to do it, for curiosity reasons and science reasons; but they were being set up and funded through governments. It’d almost be a little reassuring if the pentagon has had this tech for the past few years. This time, it seems like world l…

It's pretty inaccurate even for writing code. I tried using it the other day for a simple task (retrieving a list of fields from the Jira API, flattening the json response into a csv, and saving the result) and it messed up every single part of the ask. I think we're going to see a repeat of the post-dotcom outsourcing craze. Companies will try replacing engineers with a generative AI tool and e…

None of this would support inaction under the Rome statute. They are trying to avoid him coming outright.

The global south doesn't really care because the idea of grains from far away feeding them isn't a well thought concept. Also for most of the global Souths wars the global north has barely paid attention

Original UA version says 'powerful September', in the sense that there will be powerful international political activity directed toward 'global South' (sic, whatever the hell 'global south' means I'm not sure). This is poorly translated, yes, but the source material doesn't make much sense either. Bunch of populism, and, as evidenced by top upvoted comments in this thread, populism that is app…

To put it in perspective Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa have each only invested $10 billion in the BRICS bank (NDB). Keep an eye on what China and India is doing independently and less on what they are doing in BRICS.

> Because all of the publicly accessible AI tools are specifically gated to not allow themselves to create content with copyrighted characters. I mean this is true for tools on the internet but if you have a gpu less than 5 years old getting your own local image model to do whatever including copyrighted stuff takes literally 2 clicks. People are super underestimating how easy and widespread …

In the end, thats what will happen. There won't be as high of a demand for a Taylor Swift sex tape to be hacked and leaked when people can have an AI pop out one for them in 20 mins and get off to it. Pros and Cons of it and let's be honest genie is out of the bottle and never going back in.

It’s not about that, it’s about demeaning her and seeing how fucked up they can use AI.

The worst affected aren’t celebrities though. I recall an article about spanish boys generating deepfakes of their classmates. Young girls who always have plenty of body image issues are going to face the brunt of it

The difference is now the situation can be used to use AI as a boogeyman by politicians to distract from actual problems and by many others to create drama for clicks and ad revenue. This is no different from what you described, other than now, fearmongering is easier to spread.
