This dichotomy is counter-productive. The valuations floating around are insane, and the claim that some software can replace every single laborer is one step removed from fiction. At the same time, this stuff is clearly going to change how to world works in countless, deep ways. But the idea that some fancy autocomplete can replace humans ignores the reality of humanity and the fancy autocomplete.

It’s another dot com bubble, not a crypto bubble. Trillion dollar valuations burst once you leave lesswrong.

Edit: very fancy autocomplete. I know what these things are capable of. It’s still not “intelligence”, for X definition of intelligence. And it certainly benefits from having obscene amounts of compete thrown at it. It is awesomely impressive synthesis of data, yet it’s clearly still that.

“We” do, we could, if organized. Per your first point, that is the problem today - agreeing on a shared goal rather than infighting about all the peripheral issues.

This ignores the reality that many people are, unfortunately, taking that one iPhone picture, sending it to everyone in their contacts list as if it’s art, and then moving on to the next slop shoot.

Phones don’t “rule the world” of cinematography, despite the majority of videos being from phones. The serious stuff, professional and personal, uses cameras.

> Do the work, either you’ll get a discovery or someone will build on your work and make a discovery in the future.

Tell that to modern academia. This may be true but the barriers to realizing it are great today.

This can’t be serious. LLMs are programs that run on computers.

Atp post-training is much more influential towards model behavior than pre-training data.

I do. God. I am partial to and bullish on the brain being a quantum-classical computer. There has been interesting research exploring that recently [0, 1, 2, 3]. That (quantum mechanics) seems to be escape-hatch, so to speak, from the otherwise deterministic, mechanical procession of the universe.

Social media has fried some people’s brains so much that it is incredibly anxiety inducing to make many typically mundane or routine choices, for fear of missing / missing out on something.

You’re not just the same thing though. It’s sad that we’ve collectively forgotten that as we’ve gotten a better handle on the implementation details of the universe. That’s all science is, reverse engineering an inherent and eternal mystery.

Sure, if you take a materialist empiricist perspective, which is myopic at best. As humans we have the unique and wonderful ability to know truths by themselves. Machines do not have minds, and they can not.

Doing that on modern iOS is unlikely. They’ve really locked it down in the past half decade.

Thats a browser level task.

That doesn’t mean anything. “Sometimes satellites hit things or have problems and blow up. Maybe it hit something and had a problem”.

Edit: Its a perfectly valid response to the question that was asked.

So, if you are concerned about what the model does? Yeah.

For the old school (I hate that that’s arguably applicable) AI dating types, and so on. The people using it not for productivity.

So what is he? A Democrat, and what else? Parties are groups of people, ideologies are pure ideals. They are distinct, with overlaps in their demographics.

Response to sister comment: conservatism, and the groups that claim to support it, are separate. Same with liberals, and socialists, and the Democrat Party.

And “they” would arguably cease to exist.

I can’t read apparently, apologies

As an aside - the word conspiratorial has become polluted.

If you accept the premise that governments and their military and intelligence agencies aren’t 100% transparent, which is true, then the above comment is simply speculative.

Good example of their point. That’s not “why”.

Might wanna update your facts on that pipeline.

This could get pretty pedantic. They haven’t “won” yet, and the first few paragraphs do accurately describe the problem, but not the whole state of the case. The injunctions and appeals are very important, but they are details of the suit proceedings, not the case itself.

Yes. And/or press charges, IIRC. They did threaten to, at one point, with some conditions they wanted met (past that, I am not in the loop).

Inb4 Apple buys OAI in 10 years and gets 75% of the consumer market.

Also, reality is not a work of fiction. Look for concrete reasons in things, not themes and allusions. Anthropic is used because they have a good product, it’s easy.

Its a grossly incomplete description. A reductive description.

Wait I’m sorry, I’m all for suspecting US involvement in foreign countries because its probably happening, but what are you saying exactly? “The democrats” have had marginal if any power for two years. Any fuckling going on involves POTUS.

We can totally avoid (being conscious of) processing stuff during sleep too. Just take some SSRIs or smoke weed and you wake up in the next day. I think that that has more effect on people than people realize, dreaming is important but many people don’t experience that side of things any more.
