Is that last bit supposed to tongue in cheek? Sarcasm is difficult to read through text.

They unionized because people were already dying.

Crime has been going down since they took the lead out of gasoline. The world and the US especially has been getting safer every year since before the 24 hour news cycle. Seriously, you are safe and have been safe for decades from random crime. It wasn't some busybody's cameras.

It wasn't a hypothetical, the op was listing things that both literally are happening and that ALPR's (and flock specifically) are enabling. "Hypothetically" was a bit of rhetorical flourish.

The difference between these roles is prestige among other programmers. I don't know why we want to categorize by vanity.

That would be speculative, it should only be added in the hypothetical time the productivity actually goes up. Even then, it should be some years in and with third party sources like all of Wikipedia.

Computer vision and categorization is ai. It isn't just generative AI.

I genuinely never heard of this. They claim to be the only service that does this but that's better than nothing at all.

The take was so mild, no one disagrees with it. The llms were also explicit asked for this, seems very 'aligned' ie corporate safe. These takes need some more pepper honestly.

I wish there was something that could be done beyond feeling powerless. 4k+ tvs mean nothing if it is constrained whatever meager the bitrate companies feel they can get away with streaming.

Yeah, Google is doing what Microsoft and Apple did, get their product in schools so that the adults will demand it at work later on. They had already been doing this with Chromebooks.

However,now the product is human intelligence and the motivation is ungodly amounts of debt the economy is linked too. AI literacy makes no sense, the whole purpose is you don't need the literacy, it understands normal human speech.

It's unconscionable, but Google seems to be making the kids dumb on purpose. If the kids are dependent on AI then the market will always exist. It is weird cause Google isn't even in first or second place, but maybe brand loyalty can win out?

So, apparently the bbc has started charging Americans.

It is clearly protectionism. You can argue that is justified, but prefering blocking foreign companies to protect your nation's own interests has a word.

I feel like the is an assertion of an opinion. One that assumes that animals are not doing complex stochastics. We can't prove it either way, only guess based on what we currently know.

Hasn't either openai or anthropic already explicitly said open models are dangerous?

You'll find aviation politics is not too far off. But basically all pilots train single engine first abd America invented the plane.

Next year as in < 3months from now. Not that long.

If you were going to sell but learned something non public, then letter of the law says you can't make a decision to no longer sell.

It just isn't provable, I think it it is technically illegal.

They refuse to release the models, the training method and, training data. They don't even want you to ask it too many questions lest you teach another ai. Very "open".

Ai and privacy in the same sentence is wierd. You supported your argument, I guess, but unless you are using local ai, the developer would be sacrificing their own privacy.

Physicians stole the Ph.D title not the other way around. Both physcians and dentists have profession based degrees.

Isn't better to say undefined than not complete? Natural language is broader that formal language.

Obama using race to distract from Occupy Wall Street. Bernie Sanders leading to Trump. The hole thing really. My good faith interpretation is you are leaving out parts you think are obvious and so if you show me those parts I will understand. Now, I think the parts you're leaving out are just not allowed on the site.

That is disheartening. They couldn't build around it? It seems particularly malicious.

I don't think reverse engineering or open source is creating the starving artists.

Also, video game programmers are already starving artists comparatively. To many people want to make video games to exploitation is rife. Only publishers benefit from your rhetoric. At least artists get royalties

Is there some deeper analysis you can link, right now it is really, really hard to assume good faith.

A prompt is just an input, since you have never not had inputs, how can know if you are conscious?

These needs are often conflicting, so satisfying these needs me delaying others. Your definition makes all animals conscious (which tbf I may not disagree with, but i think you do). This is before getting into what an instinct is.

Does bacteria have a soul? Does biofilm have a religion?

It's just a cell colony, calm down.

It is frustrating sometimes how 404media reports. It seems like if there is a research paper out suggesting that llms experience pain or negative experiences, then it is unethical to build a toture chamber from that paper for fun. Dismissing it with "well llms aren't conscious anyway" is gross and echoes the exact same sentiment against very real humans a sadly not that long ago (babies, slaves).

It doesn't matter whether or not we eventually find it is or isn't conscious. If you can understand why pulling the legs off ants is bad then you should be able to understand why deliberately causing possible pain to what may have some time of experience is bad.

Unfortunately, they also do good reporting on privacy rights and repair rights. I wish there were alternatives.
