Why are they attempting to model LLM update rollouts at all? They repeatedly concede their setup bears little resemblance to IRL deployments experiencing updates. Feels like unnecessary grandeur in what is otherwise an interesting paper.

The negative tone of some comments here betrays that techno optimist suggestion that tech will solve environmental issues. Clearly, the incentives just aren’t there!

There’s a decent supercollider implementation as well

These results speak towards the absence of an audience for poetry as much as they do the aptitude of LLMs for creative writing.

Would you feel comfortable pushing generated code to production unaudited?

Intent is immaterial

How did you measure your ability to concentrate?

> fwiw

What do you think this sort of observation is worth?

This is the fantasy of brownfield redevelopment. The reality is that remediation is always expensive even when it doesn’t depend on novel innovations.

Can you link this idle observation directly to the operation of LLMs or is this more anthropomorphizing boosterism?

We do represent much of our cognition in language. Sometime I feel like LLMs might be “dancing skeletons” - pulleys & wire giving motion to the bones of cognition.

Scientology has a long-standing opposition to psychotropic drugs & psychiatry broadly

There’s also also the js port of tidalcycles, named strudel, which is a lot of fun

“Instantly” here meaning “potentially, after current contract obligations end & institutions complete the switch to a new provider”.

Why do you think a comparison to theft is warranted?

If your safety systems fail, we pierce the corporate veil.

Prior review is widely regarded as a restriction on freedom of speech.

I’m very curious to know how many flippers are on the books with FHA. Definitely a nonzero amount. Who’s really checking up on owner occupancy? Like 4 overworked feds in DC?

Corporate governance is also decided by “experts”, rife with corruption & oligarchy.

You first

Who is this for, besides the author? If you want to write sermons, write sermons. If you want to address people’s concerns with the way their time is obliged in 2024, you must address the impositions made by the labor market on employees that, more frequently than not, extend beyond the workday. Some fortunate souls have jobs that afford them equal agency to the creative pursuits the author derides, but the norm is the opposite. It’s hard to find the small joys within “chop wood, carry water” after a ten-hour day deferring one’s agency to the workplace & two hours commute. The suggestion that hypothetical dishwashing robots would shred the fabric of community seems misplaced at best.

Are you sure you’re not optimistic just bcuz you stand to materially benefit from widespread adoption of chatgpt wrappers?

What are some examples of complex works? What are some examples of simpler, more accessible works?

> The impact isn't merely aesthetic. For one thing, it can be costly to remove graffiti.

The cost incurred here is a choice the owner makes when they disagree with the aesthetics of the graffiti.

Why

> its very unclear if even other people are concious

Myopic edgelord main character syndrome.

Under what circumstances would you, the human, be conscious but other humans are not?

Culture war grandstanding drowning out the much more interesting discussion around Determinate System’s pledge to support the long-debated Nix Flakes officially.

Nix Flakes looking like the real source of the schism in the Nix community.

Protecting water & air is, in fact, very materialistic. Nobody wants to live in the exclusion zone.

It seems like you’re vaguely alluding to global averages when most commenters are lamenting the state of their own countries, communities, daily lives - a categorical error. Scale & locality can’t be hand-waved away.

The identity of public entities is a matter of public interest where the identity of private individuals is not?
