Paris - the city itself - is actually surprisingly high density, almost as high as Manhattan if you do not include the two very large 'Bois' (woods) that are technically part of the city.
I think it’s fine to not be into poetry, but at its core the Divine Comedy is a long poem, and I’m not sure what’s left after you remove any and all “poetic” elements. The Wikipedia page I’m sure could give you the…
Haha, thanks for the insightful comic
American born Chinese dumplings.
Why do people go to see movies when they could just watch the trailer on YouTube?
I read quite a bit, actually. But I don’t go around making others feel bad for being supposedly intellectually inferior to me. > is it the vocabulary? Because it’s a grammatically-simple sentence. Yes, the vocabulary.…
Little more than an article for Atlantic readers to pat themselves on the back with. By the way, I get the sense the author isn’t as wise as he imagines himself, either. His catty obsession with Kanye West’s mental…
Quite simply, they’re saying that all those things can be done on a laptop if necessary. Duh.
I see. Thanks for the reply. But I wonder if that’s not a bit too optimistic and not concrete enough. Alignment won’t solve the world’s woes, just like “enlightenment” (a word which sounds a lot like alignment and which…
Is more research really going to offer any true solutions? I’d be genuinely interested in hearing about what research could potentially offer (the development of tools to counter AI disinformation? A deeper…
Good comment. Not to be nit picky, but I think you might be wrong about the psychologist part. A core principle, perhaps the most important principle of all, in talk therapy is that of transfer between the patient and…
Art, or creativity, is the part of the movie that is not toil. Art being made purely for the enjoyment of all is purely commercial, and so it is in some ways equivalent to toil: it is something whose sole purpose is to…
Art is about more than just imitation. It’s about the meaning behind the work. I am not talking about Marvel movies, which might as well be totally AI-generated at this point. I would suggest having some empathy for…
This simply doesn’t look like the IKEA style. The prompt may not be explicit enough about it looking like IKEA. This looks like something from the 70s. Which makes sense, since Midjourney likely assumes a connection…
No, I get it, I’ve heard that argument and I see the logic behind it. It’s a “victimless” crime. There are two issues I can think of that I would lead one to different conclusions. The first is that of consent - do I…
So, if you write a really good (free, since you don’t believe in intellectual property) book and I merely translate it into German, you don’t mind me selling it on Amazon and making money off of it? Ethically this is OK…
The question is how this is really possible without a dramatic restriction of internet content accessible to citizens, i.e. national firewalls. OpenAI is accountable, but that’s only because they have something to lose.…
Hmm, 500 million is a lot but it is only 500 million. Unclear how they can finance what is already there, pay for food and schools, a nuclear weapons program, a relatively giant military with ridiculously long military…
Who is funding all of this, at the end of the day? China?
Why would bilingualism be a defense? Try throwing ChatGPT or whatever a line which combines several languages. e.g., If you ask it “¿Quel est the resultado of 四*6.1, in inglese?”, it will probably reply “4 times 6.1…
Noise, but I’ve gotten so accustomed to them helping me sleep better that even if it’s silent outside I find them comforting to put on.
Reminds me of a story I heard a while back, about a factory town back in the day where the management would adjust the town clock to make it run slower during the work day, and faster overnight, in order to squeeze more…
One tip for earplugs -- I didn't know this for the longest time, embarrassingly -- is to roll them between your fingers into compact, narrow cylinders before inserting them into your ear, that way they will expand and…
I don't know, I feel like even a real version of the Beatles singing God Only Knows would disappoint. I just can't picture Paul McCartney signing it. The fact that this is AI-generated is amazing. To be completely…
I'm all for it, though I won't comment on this bill in particular, which seems to be lacking. There are, of course, ways to implement this that don't include sending even more personal data to social media companies.…
