Get that thing I Sencha?

I completely agree on lost world. If you see it as a love letter to the original then I think it works a lot better. Like so many of the iconic scenes in the first are repeated with a different spin in lost world. It does take itself less seriously, but it has a lot of heart and a good attention to detail. I think the two pair together perfectly, like alien and aliens.

That's ridiculous, of course it counts as AI. It's not conscious, and it's not very intelligent, but it has some intelligence by any reasonable definition.

Something you may not have considered is that the majority of our brains are used for things like sensory input and motor control, not for thinking. This is why brain size relative to body size is so important. A whale has a far larger brain than you or I, but is significantly less intelligent.

It makes my blood boil when people dismiss the risks of ASI without any notable counterargument. Do you honestly think something a billion times smarter than a human would struggle to kill us all if it decided it wanted to? Why would it need a terminator to do it? A virus would be far easier. And who's to say how quickly AI will advance now that AI is directly assisting progress? How can you possibly have any certainty on any timelines or risks at all?

You seem extremely confident about something I don't think anyone has any justification of feeling confident about. I don't think anything is as simple as you present it, and I can see countless arguments against what you propose as the obvious solution.

I think that might be a chatgpt specific thing, I tried with bing in precise mode and it responded with this:

"A sow is an adult female pig and piglets are baby pigs. Pigs have four feet, so a sow with six piglets would have a total of 28 feet (4 feet for the sow + 6 piglets * 4 feet each). Is that what you were asking?"

What ability do you think that they are currently missing that makes them 'regurgitation machines' rather than just limited and dumb but genuine early AI?

Extending the ending of the war by a year would be far worse.

The change in the conversation about the importance of alignment this year has been remarkable. Last year had me feeling pretty cynical, but I am starting to feel legitimate hope again.

Sure, but should legality be based on artistic effort? (Not asking you directly, just open to anyone who thinks what SD, etc. do should be illegal.)

Major plot mistake imho that we are being pulled in towards the great attractor, but the universe will tear itself apart before we get there.

I agree with you, but this is a really bad counterargument to what they said. Even widely agreed politeness conventions to a degree 'compel' speech, so the debate is really around what speech is acceptable for society to encourage/suppress, rather than whether cultural changes are changing what people are compelled to say. Also, I don't think they said anything that suggested they are more concerned by that than hateful violence?

I think a big current issue on nvidia at least is that cuda/drivers do not elegantly allow multitasking. Games/video can tank performance of AI, and AI tanks performance of games/video, even if the card has capacity to run them both at the same time. I expect the solution is to solve this at a driver/OS/CUDA level and then just keep improving card specs each generation.

We may see a greater share of GPU silicon go to AI oriented hardware too in time, depending on the application.

You have to admit it is more complicated than that though. It's more complicated than jas describes too.

Is enabling people trafficking by having a fleet of boats hanging out on the libian coast really going to save more people than ending the practice all together?

It's absolutely true that countless other things should be done to help the poor around the world, but I genuinely don't see how encouraging masses of people to set out to sea in sinking boats helps anything at all?

Exactly! It must be the same sort of thing, as when it happens all outside sound disappears, and after the transition I am in a dream world with only dream sounds.

nanoobot, 11 months ago

I have experienced something similar whenever I enter a lucid dreaming state. Sounds like roaring static as my brain switches over from ear input to dream sound input.

Give meta the benefit of the doubt? Are you joking? We literally know exactly how awful they are in every area they touch.

Porco every time for me, feels like a mini holiday every time I watch it, but Totoro would be a close second.

I never go anywhere with mosquitos without one! Really good for training you out of scratching too, you just use the pen each time instead.

Ultimately the only thing that matters is if the fediverse is able to reach critical mass, who really gives a shit if reddit manages to limp along for years of gradual decline after all the good contributors leave?

I am super pumped for it. I've been waiting for years to do a robinson crusoe style island survival game with it.

Yeah me too, I think you can build a ton now. Not sure if you can build/use workshops though. Hopefully there'll be even more expansions as it gets added to steam.
