Because the ones who do get rewarded, just like humans. It’s alignment, but not to our good intentions.
I trust the AI 2040 people, because they’ll make an implementation that at least convincingly doesn’t actually put them (or anyone) in charge. Maybe we shouldn’t have AI safety, but if we’re going to trust anyone…
Frontier companies should slow development for open-source, local models to catch up.
The worst spam emails I get are the Cloud+ subscription. They've been emailing me every day for probably over a year, telling me if I don't enter my credit card information, my "Cloud" storage will expire in…
Even ignoring politics, I’m sure there are more impactful ways to spend $18 million. Many OSS projects are underfunded, why not give some of that to e.g. Bevy (https://bevy.org/sponsorship-pledge/), Unsloth…
Heres an idea: the models create and promote rage posts and brainrot on the internet, causing everyone to turn against each other, stop socializing, and elect trigger-happy idiots to positions of power. Ok, maybe that…

GPU prices will eventually fall, either because production increases or AI companies stop buying (maybe they'll find a better processor). Then AI lowers the very high cost and skill barrier needed to make a good VR game.
They did with Vision Pro, see how that turned out. But I will keep saying it, VR is the future.
This is a hot take, the problem is that powerful tools like surveillance are easily (and inevitably by humans) abused to suppress what shouldn't be crimes, including expressions; and even when they don't, the potential…
The goalposts for the singularity have always been that AI improves itself fully autonomously. AFAIK OpenAI is heavily using AI but still employs human researchers and developers.
Let's wait until AI solves a longstanding practical problem before "dawn of the singularity" (which could be tomorrow, but still).
Forcing APIs maybe wouldn't be bad, but shouldn't be necessary. It would be hard to enforce and the company could release convoluted APIs, which would be harder to regulate. Meanwhile, scrapers can publish a decent API.
Every social media is popular because of the network effect. Even TikTok launched just under a decade ago, grew with help from China’s government and cultural isolation, and only became “mainstream” (in 2020) after…
The war on drugs was a failure, and the most successful cases (other than harsh punishments while avoiding massive drug use in the first place, like Singapore) involve legalization.
I’d prefer similar to Doctorow, that governments simply make scraping and republishing (anything that anyone who consents can access) explicitly legal, then alternate frontends may appear with their own algorithms.
The problem is, sometimes I pick up a novel and it doesn’t have that, it’s just boring through (or I think it will be so I give up). I wish it was easier to find out before investing so much time. I read lots of plot…
Maybe ask it to summarize, improve phrasing, and remove tropes a couple times? Otherwise you have the LLM analogue of a first draft. I doubt it will be as good as humans, because LLMs don't seem to have "taste" (RVLR…
With the lyrics in modern pop songs, I don’t blame Claude. I guess Anthropic really does care about his well-being.
Here, I just discovered a much larger one: https://reddit.com
(This holds generally) maybe because the people most likely to be convinced to buy this particular thing are the people who buy a lot of things. The people who only buy things they need, they’re a harder demographic to…
How does this happen? There’s no silver lining which makes this conviction reasonable. If they can’t appeal, I hope they use Streisand to get the town or state of Virginia to vacate everything.
n=1, I started programming with Scratch and it led to my software-adjacent career today.
These only further my point. Everything published on RoyalRoad is already free; the issue the authors face is trademark, not copyright, violation, because their works are republished under a different name. Also, while…
