Yet their own people are quiting over their claims - https://grist.org/accountability/microsoft-employees-spent-y...

Yeah it’s pretty bad nowadays.

Thinking about this though it’s really the big tech companies manufacturing “the latest thing” to be tossed in the bin after a year. Dollars over longevity. Then they become “no longer maintained.” Could we STILL use a 3g network? Or is there a simpler, slow network that should be good enough barring our pointless desire for cat videos?

And some folks wonder why companies still use floppy disks on air-gapped infrastructure. Because it fucking works don’t litter it with complexity to modernize.

Now… the situation with skills to manage infrastructure? Now that the whole AI thing is happening? The internet is going to be fucked people. It’s time to go analog.


Its more that the army, navy airforce world over all are heavy oil guzzlers. Its not going to simple if its a long war.

The thing is that OpenAI is a kind of evil where if they see any kind of potential in that product and generative AI is used then they will create the same thing. And if that product is using ChatGPT then it's gone. I am not only saying about ChatGPT it's also google Microsoft and all the big companies.

Where did the idea for this product come from? It's really great because I see many tools on the market mention this, but few actually do reply mentions.

The Main perpose why I want to use AI is I have knowledge and skills in that so.

I am really not thinking about this but the thing is whenever I think of an idea and share that idea to someone they just say to my face that this will not work especially family and friends.

Good idea

I am trying to think about problems And trying to solve but in the first thing is I am not getting problems where generative AI can be used.

I tried using your tool and found the idea very good. I signed up for a one-month. I think having an additional discount for the launching phase would be more enjoyable."

Right - sorry, yes. I think I was reading your point back to front!

It's hard to discount other factors but I certainly notice a difference switching from water to coffee.

An article about how to do charts, which itself uses charts with labels so small they are unreadable while also disabling zooming, lack credibility.

OpenAI is dead and I feel bad for employees with equity PPU locked up.

that's right, i've mentioned this on the first page of the tutorial. if you don't enable interactive mode, the experience is the same as reading the answer sheet.

i converted the content to a web-friendly format as a personal learning exercise. hopefully it improves the accessibility as well.


I remember people saying that once it is on the web it is there forever. But my experience is how fast web sites disappear. Or get redirected to a nonsensical site in the orient. I think maintaining the domain name is the big problem.

However I am proud to say that you can still see my very first published web page from 1995 if you know the rather obscure url... http://admin.benwillies.com/ticker/

I wrote this page as a proof of concept for a friend of mine who was a financial consultant but unfortunately the humor was a turn-off instead of getting him excited about this new fangled thing called the Web.

I never made that mistake again.


If you reduce down your idea to an animals in the woods you will quickly see why.

Humans become a rabbit, the malicious species a fox, the benevolent species humans.

If the rabbit is injured, making noise and hoping for humans to help is a fools errand as the fox is more likely to hear and eat the rabbit.

This is engrained in our evolution.


Did anyone actually buy those xray glasses? I’d love to know what crap actually arrived

I honestly thought it was some kind of parody when I saw this. I clicked out and checked the link again just to be sure I was on the right site. Fortunately, I believe they have changed this now

In my opinion, a superbuild should act as a wrapper around a project and not impose any specific dependency management approach on users. However, with CMake I find that it introduces unnecessary indirections and overhead, and therefore superbuilds should not be used.

Has anyone ever explained how UBI would be funded? The US has 300 million people so at, say $500 monthly per person, it’ll cost $1.8 trillion annually just for this one program.

They do actually have relationships with these institutions, and are in some cases likely stuck between friendly relations with their funding source xor showing solidarity with their readers, authors, and editors. https://placesjournal.org/academic-partners/

I get that you'd rather never hear about the war again--probably doesn't affect you materially, after all--but this isn't an "awkward injection of political opinions into [an] unrelated space." They're embedded in it. The extra effort of closing a dialog box doesn't seem like too much of a cost for you to bear in exchange for reading their article.

There was one such group but they determined it was impossible because of Rice's theorem and other limitations of formal systems for computation. Logical incompleteness, Tarski's theorem, and Rice's theorem are the main meta-theoretical results that make alignment fundamentally unsolvable. If you're really concerned about robots taking over the world then understanding basic computational theory should be a prerequisite but most people are not willing to spend the time to learn the theory and instead focus on vague and ill-defined science fiction concepts which are very unlikely to be actually physically possible/implementable because of various physical and formal limitations of computers.

I've decided anyone concerned about these issues knows almost nothing about computability theory so their theories are either nonsensical or just outright crazy. Very few understand the required formal concepts to have any useful ideas about how computers should be programmed to prevent "unsafe" results (which is often left just as ill-defined as most everything on AI safety and alignment research).


I know someone who fancies himself an expert, and indeed, by comparison to the average tech worker, he is an expert in LLMs and AI. He vehemently believes AGI is coming this year. At least, that's what he said last year. I suppose he will probably feel sheepish if I bring it up now that we're at month 6.

My point is that the only thing that seems to convince the pro-AGI crowd is having them make specific predictions, waiting until the deadline, then asking them why they didn't happen yet.


So a pretty good seeker

Can you also email me at mc12stoud at gmail? I'm happy to help.

The fridge addresses the issue of the post: oil separation; more so than spoilage.

I wish I had the discipline to keep a jar of peanut butter around long enough for it to spoil. :)

Growing up we put the peanut butter in the pantry without separation issues because my parents were either fine with or oblivious to the stabilizing additives in the mass produced peanut butter brands.

Now, when I look at the ingredients list I only want to see “peanuts”! (And maybe <1% salt)


Truth.

To that point my favorite peanut butter is hot melted peanut butter warmed by being spread over recently toasted bread.


I have had similar experiences a few times. One time it was extremely scary. I could not move, and I experienced someone whispering something unintelligible in my ear.
