Geee

I'm guessing / hoping that the engine outs we're planned, or that they ran the engines with slightly different parameters to test them. If it's just unreliability then it might be a hard problem to solve.

What are you doing with multiple agents, i.e. how do you have so much work to do? I can't come up with new ideas faster than the dude is coding.

We are at the point where "don't add seahorses" doesn't actually fill it with seahorses like the previous models.

What a bunch of bullshit. Like clockwork, another failed economist has crawled out of the woodwork to make a quick buck by blaming capitalism right at the top of an economic bubble. Turns out studying economics might pay off after all!

The pessimistic case is based on the misconception that AI is some kind of a superhuman. Our current AI models are trained on human data, which has an unfortunate side effect which causes them to think and behave like a human. But as soon as we learn to train them without human data, we find out that AI is just a supercalculator, and it won't have any own will or agency.

Will and agency are primal biological instincts, which a pure intelligence doesn't have. It doesn't want or need anything. Therefore it won't act.

A superintelligence with human primal instincts would be scary indeed, but obviously we don't want to build that.

There's no code. You are imagining things.

This is not accurate, because it's not adjusted for inflation. There hasn't been real GDP growth in Finland for 20 years. This is more accurate comparison: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.KD?end=2...

It would be the opposite. Kindness = respect for other's property = capitalism.

True. AI does have a style but it's more of a bug than a feature.

Many artists have a distinct, original style. Originality is the ability to create novelty in a way which is aesthetically pleasing. I've yet to see AI create a single distinct style which is beautiful.

Well, there's the Einstein test: can AI figure out general relativity if it's trained only on knowledge up to 1915 or so, before it was discovered. Similarly, you could do a Monet test: train AI on everything before Monet and try to get it to create paintings similar to Monet.

Original is something that is out of the data distribution. AI can't do anything original, because it's job is to imitate the data distribution.

Originality in itself is not hard, because pure noise is original. It should be original and beautiful.

I know, but it could be AI-generated as well, because people can't tell them apart. The point was that even if AI could imitate Monet perfectly, it's not Monet. It's a worthless test.

Being able to imitate Monet doesn't make you Monet. AI can't create anything original.

Thanks, it is working now.

According to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, there's bound to be one branch of universe where every UUID is the same. Can you imagine what those guys are thinking?

For context, xAI GPU utilization is at 11% and they're also expanding.[0] Renting one datacenter to Anthropic doesn't mean that they would be shutting xAI / Grok down.

Unlikely, because xAI had huge amount of overcapacity.

Motion control doesn't seem to work on iPhone / Safari.

There are lots of people who say that they've been banned from the DMT realm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCDntV81Q8A&t=522s

I wonder if this is related to getting banned from the DMT realm.

One good way to save water is to use treated wastewater for cooling. xAI is building this kind of system in Memphis.[0] It'll connect to a nearby wastewater treatment plant and they'll need to build an additional treatment plant before the water can be used for cooling. It's a closed-loop system inside the data center, where they use clean water, and it connects to open-loop evaporative cooling towers with heat exchangers.

So, by disabling all social features (comments, chat) kids can keep using Instagram and Youtube? Is it really the social features which are harmful? I'd guess that it's the addictive content which might be more harmful.

Also, does these bans extend to text-only social media such as HN?

Not per capita. Norway produces roughly 6x more oil than the US per capita. Also, TIL that Guyana is the world's top oil producer per capita.

Actually the less collectivist approaches e.g. Sweden caused much less trouble.

Individualism means voluntary cooperation. Collectivism is state-imposed forced cooperation. Decentralized vs. centralized. It's a common misconception that individualism means no cooperation; actually it means that each individual can choose who they want to cooperate with.

Methane is broken down with a few years delay, but still the same amount is breaking down as is produced. Think of a long pipe which takes a few years to travel through and it's fed at a constant rate. Total methane in the atmosphere stays constant.

Animals or humans don't cause any net emissions, because the same carbon was captured from the atmosphere in the first place. No new carbon is added. Also, the same amount of methane is broken down in the atmosphere as is created. Increasing co2 is only possible by burning fossil fuels.

ELIZA is better, because this doesn't seem to generate anything coherent. You can try the original ELIZA with DOCTOR script here: https://anthay.github.io/eliza.html

My guess is that they'll release something impressive in September, and they want to give Ternus an early win as you said. Maybe a new completely product or Vision Air.
