Maybe one side of the political debate shouldn't do hateful things like block all refugees except white ones
aprilthird2021··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
Come on, are you serious? Lawyers will be around for the next 100 years easily
aprilthird2021··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
Oh no, this is like a bat signal to all the craziest sci-fi doomsday nutso people to warn you about how a rogue AI will become world dictator and put humans in a Matrix-style energy farm

Why don't you show us the math you claim disproves this?

The black pill for me is that these people's votes count equally

It's not politics to dislike a guy who fired thousands of Americans from their jobs for fun, disproportionately veterans. Failed to even do the thing he set out to do which is save the country money, and then quit. That's just incompetence with material negative effect on people's lives

You would but not everyone would. Some people find it easier to just use what exists already

Unfortunately it's such an overused idiom in AI generated text that most people read it as a metaphor vs what is literally true about the app

I won't get over this prejudice and I don't have to frankly

I mean, for now it hasn't. Who knows? If it ever gets a serious user base, might easily sell ads or whatever else.

Also, it still costs money to host it, the creator won't eat the cost if it gets up to a serious amount of usage

aprilthird2021··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
Watch out you'll get flagged for this like my comment was

Trump defended KSA bonesawing that journalist, they will defend them if they ever get linked to this too

The chain of evidence has always been attackable and necessary for evidence to be admissible in court. It was actually designed to allow reasonable doubt for tampering and other such things.

Photoshop has been around a lot longer than AI. And people have attempted to doctor all kinds of evidence in court since courts began

aprilthird2021··on AI is a tool and using it well takes skill
I use frontier models unlimited at work every day at a huge tech company. It definitely types and generates code faster than me. But human review is becoming more valuable than ever
aprilthird2021··on Character.ai has initiated voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Them donating to Trump didn't make dumb voters vote for him. They did that of their own free will
aprilthird2021··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
Umm, excuse me, according to the President of the United States, he wasn't a very good guy and a lot of people really didn't like him, so you should really just let that whole incident go

They did change when Biden came into office and they started actually doing antitrust.

> AI isn't a better keyboard. The goal is to automate the decision making.

It pretty much is. And it won't

> The only thing that seems relatively future-proof is just being able to communicate clearly what you're trying to do. Not how to do it, or even what success looks like.

And knowing the right thing to ask for and not giving it wrong assumptions. And knowing, somewhat, how it interprets certain words and phrases.

Huh, just like any tool, you have to know how to use it

aprilthird2021··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
It would have cost millions of Euros to secure these products?
aprilthird2021··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
Shouldn't the seller of the embedded devices or the maker of the product with those devices inside take care of that?
aprilthird2021··on Muse Wonder
How was it the right direction? None of the VR stuff is profitable or even has a path to profitability since it's such a niche audience who wants that stuff
aprilthird2021··on Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking?
But, for example, OAI said they fed their AI random websites and told it to interact with them however it wanted. One was a police report website and it submitted a false police report. That's as knowingly negligent as you can get
aprilthird2021··on Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking?
So you can imagine how much crime they allow when it isn't obvious to the public that an important company did it
aprilthird2021··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
But shouldn't super human AI be able to fix all the bugs for free and make the service infinitely scalable? That's what I was told at least
aprilthird2021··on Recursive self-improvement through collective intelligence
Wow shocker. Crazy unfounded prediction website that lots of people said was bupkis at the time turned out to be wrong
aprilthird2021··on An open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft Word in pure Rust
In the issues page of the repos you can see avg type of open source bugs. For the Word clone there is: spellcheck doesn't work, image embedding is broken, etc.
aprilthird2021··on An open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft Word in pure Rust
No they won't

I don't get why this is so impressive? You have libreoffice as well, but this project, like that one, will find that maintenance and resolving user issues and providing cloud features are the hardest and most valuable parts of document editing software. Not just having something that works like other open source document editors that already exist.

Also look through the issues page and you see issues like spell check doesn't work and image embedding doesn't work.
