It ebbs and flows. It’s actually quite fun to watch. When an interesting article pops up, inevitably a series of echos rise to the front page in the form of subjects corresponding to the various Wikipedia links one…
I don’t think the issue is the fact that the songs were AI generated as much as it is he faked tens of thousands of customers (presumably in free tiers) streaming the songs that he owned in order to collect royalties.…
Such a tax would be highly regressive I think. When a government collects taxes they have to think how to invest that money to maximize gdp growth. Subsidizing road infrastructure is a pretty good use of those funds…
Yes, Easily, and by multiple orders of magnitude.
If you subscribe the the many worlds interpretation, you can basically look at observers as existing within the space of eigenvalues of operators acting on the massively entangled wave function of their respective…
That’s… hilariously not exactly new either. It can be said that our enemies and allies in 2006 were the almost exact opposite of the conflict in the 1980’s when we were funding the afghan mujahideen to fight the…
It’s not so interesting I think. They’re basically just taking equations of the form f(x,y)=k where k=0, and asking “ah but what about when k!=0”? Indeed, looking at the constant as a variable by looking at the equation…
To be fair, Russia also sends people out to inflame active protests and try to push them into greater extremism.
> Given the extent to of the gold rush and the long history of Silicon Valley stealing ideas, and arguing it’s not immoral Not just Silicon Valley but also OpenAI, specifically.
The astrophage was pumped around the ship to act as shielding for cosmic rays too.
I think it’s possible this might just require reworking the transformer architecture a bit to give it an inherent awareness of the contents of its attention. Kind of a working memory workspace of sorts. I.e. Instead of…
I’m not endorsing the current administration’s policy, nor do I think it would succeed, but I find this comment really perplexing since this action is PRECISELY in line with the 2025 National Security Strategy. [1]…
I think what I mean is just that from an individual standpoint we can’t really answer that and it’s not how vaccine evidence is collected or decisions are made. Those are always made at the population level. (Vaccine…
It reminds me a bit of the tyranny of the rocket equation. You can always scale your fuel to get a little more delta V, with ever diminishing returns. …but for something like a DEEP space/interstellar mission, it almost…
Detecting radio signals never made much sense to me. Even a few light years away, it’s almost infeasible to build a radio transmitter that could be detected above the noise floor. The amount of energy you’d need would…
First pass through. After the machines invent time travel they end up accelerating the creation of skynet.
Yeah substantial degradation in really basic functionality in the last 3-4 years. I mean, new features I don’t use and useless UI changes have been added at a high rate over the same time period, but holy Christ, it’s…
That’s impossible to know either way.
I completely agree, but I also think that an industry disrupting architecture tweak akin to the “Attention is all you need” is VERY possible to emerge at any moment. It feels like the cognitive gaps on current LLMs are…
Depending on what they’re doing, good finish carpenters will definitely take a bunch of moisture readings on a slab of wood before working on it.
Because the space of people interested in such things is relatively small and so a single article has knock on effects where a reader of the article or a blogger sees it and starts exploring the space and posts more…
Isn’t this the exact problem tree-based broadcast encryption schemes were designed to solve? You could surgically revoke the keys of a bad actor, and I’m not exactly sure, but I think the scope of their ability to…
Yeah I scored well enough and only missed 3, but that’s just because it was very easy to “guess well”. There were many words I didn’t know though.
Yeah, it’s definitely higher risk. When riding a motorcycle, you’ll encounter people that don’t see you almost every trip. The same is not true in a car. Riding a bike is just a 100% engagement thing with higher risks…
The cynic in me thinks its an extension of the NSA having long ago switched from being defensively helpful to US companies, to deliberately introducing backdoors and issues that they can exploit.
