If you use AI, the paper trail you leave behind may now operate at a much higher level. Here's why. Also, here are some mitigation techniques.

- how many data sources it has access to
- the quality of your prompts
So, if prompting quality decreases, so does model performance.
It's just not clear to me who, or what, will do it.
Running Twitter OTOH? There's an endless supply of "captains of industry" in the Silicon Valley, who would be willing and able to do it.
It's like the birds and the bees.
Not crossing it, staying home all day until you starve or go insane from isolation is more deadly.
So we choose to cross the street.
The unfortunate reality is - that is the actual crux of the problem. Maybe say "incapable of making" instead of "too stupid to make", since that makes the scope wider. But that is the long and short of it.
That's the moment when reality-based folks stop listening to what you're saying.
In a broad context, Thiel acts like someone who has no such safeguards. The future he's pushing the world towards is the caricatural dystopia from Back To The Future (which was originally meant to lampoon Trump-like characters). Fortunately, he will probably fail.
If you don't see this at all, it's probably time to ask yourself just how similar to Thiel you actually are.
But hey, "freedom", yay!
I just wish they added a VBR profile for encoding h.264 video. Every time I make a clip with OpenShot, I have to run the final result through meGUI, converting CBR to VBR, reducing the size of the file quite a lot, while quality remains the same.
The default h.264 profile in meGUI would be perfect. Constant Quality mode, Quality = 23, AVC High Profile. Looks the same as high quality CBR but the video is many times smaller.
Conspiracy theory. Rather old and naive, I should add.
Zero Hedge is a cesspool of pseudo-science when it comes to COVID. The best data source can be twisted into complete nonsense when folks have political agendas - so namedropping JHU in that context is just empty rhetoric.
Well, maybe it's not "empty" rhetoric, since clearly some naive folks are persuaded by it.
Vaccinated people are still mostly fine, even with Delta. You just don't get the close to 100% protection against severe disease, it's a little lower than that. It's still pretty good protection against severe cases (talking about mRNA vaccines).
What's clearly disappointing is that the vaccines are not very good at preventing Delta from spreading. I have not seen good estimates, but the numbers floating around seem to indicate the vaccines (again, mRNA) are still at least 50% effective against spread, but nowhere near 100%. That's the biggest gap right now.
It is true that viral loads are orders of magnitude higher with Delta. That is still compatible with all the statements above.
You're mostly fine, but you should not get disconnected completely from the news.
Vaccine efficacy seems to wane slowly (faster for old people). Probably before the 1 year mark you should get a booster shot.
The Delta variant is skewing some of the initial estimates, for the worse.
The odds that you will catch the virus but have no symptoms or repercussions are still rather substantial, but definitely less than 50% (estimates vary). So there is a chance that you can still transmit it. Please wear a mask indoors in public places.
The part after that, was it a typo? :)
How could you possibly ever know or prove anything like that?
That's the problem, right there. It's hard to make those processes clean.
We need a different process for hydrogen. Or stick to 100% electric instead.
There are many ways you could build a good resume. Gaming companies don't have a monopoly on that.
Athena being, among other things, the goddess of practical intelligence (as Athena Ergane she was the patron of craftsmen), and visual perception having an important part in that, the metaphor is fitting.
No doubt the meaning kept shifting in time.
