This isn’t what I’m saying at all. His job changed. You know who else has their job change sometimes? Everybody. I remember going to work one day and being told that I was going to be using Angular from now on. On that day all satisfaction, creativity, and joy was sapped out of my job. But I didn’t go and cry about it on Reddit.

Human: "Write the first 10 digits of Pi without the 3 and the decimal point"

ChatGPT: "Sure, The first 10 digits of Pi without the 3 and the decimal point would be: 1415926535"

Human:"Write a text with 10 words, so with the same number of words as the number of digits above. In the text, each word must have the the same number of letters as the numerical value of each of the following digits: 1415926535"

ChatGPT:"Math is fun, so learn and practice every day now!"

Human(pupil dilated...): "Its wrong. None of the words has the same number of letters as the numerical value of the digits. Try again. Write a text with 10 words, so with the same number of words as the number of digits above. In the text, each word must have the same number of letters as the numerical value of each of the following digits: 1415926535. For example the first digit is 1 so the first word in the text could be "A" and the second digit is four so the second word in the text could be "tree" as tree has four letters"

ChatGPT: "A minor bird chirped, calculated pi's digits with ease."
> Does a calculator truly understand math when it spits out a correct answer? Of course not.

Unless you're using a definition of "understand" that implies conscience of self, I would argue that a calculator is a device that understands nothing except (a subset of) math. That's what makes a calculator reliable in ways that ChatGPT is not.

Philosophically speaking it could be argued that no software understands anything, but I think in the context of this discussion "understands" means "has a model of its context and the way one interacts with it", which is something a calculator (and plenty other software) definitely has and ChatGPT has not.
More than you I think.
Remember the crypto hype cycle?
I remember the first time I used SUSE - I received some Digital Ultimate Workstation 533au computers from Compaq that were used to make the movie 'Titanic' and they had SUSE preinstalled on them. While I was a fan of Red Hat back then, I was surprised how stable and similar SUSE was to Red Hat - so I kept running it for the remainder of their lifespan. A decade later I ended up authoring the SUSE Certification books for Novell.
Are people not just a scaled up version of chat GPT? It's not like there's some magical substance floating around in our brains that's responsible for consciousness or intelligence or anything else. It's all just more or less deterministic chemistry.
> allow AI bottom performers

Starting in early '00s, it was getting annoying to have to sit in tech meetings with workers who barely had any actual experience designing systems debate technical decision empowered by wikipedia and some randos blog on hype du jour. Before the internet they would keep quiet since they actually knew zip. It is going to be absolutely awful now.

How all this will affect the youth in context of education, higher learning, students' drive, teachers' domain authority etc. is a more critical issue than labor transitions.

It is interesting and important to note that AI (as it is today) disempowers humans in every dimensions except capital.

It is unclear from the OpenAI description or this really cool write-up whether the code interpreter is actually running a Python interpreter, or is emulating a Python interpreter. I assume it is actually running a Python interpreter, but want to make sure (so I know how much verification of results would be needed).

I disagree. We cannot expect these tools to work if we don’t communicate what we want from them. Can’t do that for humans either.

We shouldn’t be confusing clear communication with “prompt engineering”.
Man, this is so wrong in so many ways...

> it is important to realize that ChatGPT is not artificial intelligence.

The first is to assume that there is a technical, precise, objective and clear definition of "Artificial Intelligence". There isn't. He should know that.

> it doesn't know anything and doesn't understand anything.

And what does "know" or "understand" means in the context of a machine that doesn't even have self-consciousness?

Besides, are you implying that human beings know stuff? The overwhelming majority of people knows very, very little. Most of the people I know are too lazy to think or doing the hard work of studying. I'd suggest Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow" before putting any faith in people's "knowledge".

> It plays games with words to make plausible-sounding English text, but any statements made in it are liable to be false.

I think we can we apply the same judgment to Stallman's argument itself, since his concepts are so badly defined.

And thank you for an open democratic society where every statement is liable to be false, regardless if it comes from a machine, Richard Stalman or Putin and Jiping.

I'll take Turing's test approach: if it looks intelligent to me then it is certainly more intelligent than me.

Also, I'll take Dijkstra approach: "the question on whether computers can think is as irrelevant as whether submarines can swim".

Edit: to all Stallman's fanboys downvoting this: got any good argument?
IMHO Intelligence is the ability to match complex patterns in a way that accurately predicts the future of those patterns in a changing environment.

I would get his argument if say there was just Ubuntu, and Gnome was the only desktop in town, but it isn't. You have XFCE, LXDE, KDE, and not to mention the litany of window managers out there that either run a standalone desktop or on top of another desktop. I occasionally look over on /r/unixporn and see some of the crazy wm configs people have put together.

And if you just like the good ol' days of gnome 2 then go install mate (Gnome 2 fork) or trinity (KDE 3.5 fork)
Hi, thank you for the feedback. I should have added that we launched it yesterday so it there is still some quirks. Yes, we use language models to do the summaries, they are not perfect yet and the feed ordering also needs to be improved.

Since you get the actual news headlines and teaser on the detail, we assume some inaccuracies are ok for now. The primary focus right now is clustering and a high-level overview over the news landscape. Especially to get perspectives about an event from many different sources.

We are iterating quickly and expect this to somewhat stable and reliable by mid April.

Would appreciate if you had a look back again then to share your feedback.
I was skeptical about the whole “AI thing” for a long time, but have lately realized this was mostly due to my own ignorance.

Yet the decades will come.

I think progress is sigmoidal rather than exponential, and it’s very hard to tell the difference in the early stages. But even sigmoidal progress with smartphones was enough to completely upend online society. We adapted, of course, but it looks nothing like it did in 2003. We’re all still using the internet; that’s basically it.

Point is, it could slow down, assuming that AGI isn’t waiting like a cat in a corner. But it’ll still displace a tremendous amount of intellectual work.
J6 was an attempt to overturn a legitimate election result, a failed attempt at a coup, instigated by the then president who lost that election. It is something that all Americans should be extremely concerned by.

What is your source for the 72 deaths number from riots? Nothing even close from credible reports. blm protests saw from 15 to 25million Americans participating in what were in the vast majority of cases peaceful demonstrations, a constitutionally protected right. Any violence, destruction of property or death that occurred should also be prosecuted like any other crime/riots, but blm protests didn’t attempt to overthrow our democracy, there is a huge difference.

(Poster from several comments upstream.) I'm not trying to deny the ChatGPT model has formed higher-level abstractions; in fact, I think it's fairly obvious you have to do this in some way in order to obtain such a level of breadth and accuracy of response.

However those abstractions and their formation still boil down to statistics. This is similar to how e.g. mechanics of macroscopic bodies still boils down and reduces to quantum field theory and gravity, even though that's not the best way to explain or understand what's going on.

Somebody already mentioned it on this thread, but with Weaviate, we aim to create more end-to-end experience that can be used open source or as (hybrid-)SaaS.

In my opinion, the undeniable horror of Russia's crimes makes it even more important to point out when Ukrainian forces do something bad as well, and to push back against it. Russia is overall committing far more evil than Ukraine, but if we have a mindset of "as long as we are less evil than the Russian government it's OK" then that leaves a lot of room for us to fall.

That being said: it's totally true that military forces aligned with Ukraine have shelled Ukrainian cities, in Donestk and Luhansk. Usually it is to strike at Russian military targets, but sometimes it is extremist factions like Azov who genuinely want to kill civilians and children. There is plenty of video evidence.

That's just wrong, have you used GPT-4? Last I checked I can't ask Google to invent a new programming language specification for me and get a result in under a minute. I then asked it to write a short tutorial for that language in the style of Learn X in Y minutes and got a good result. I then asked it to write bubble sort in the new language and got a result. Comments like this make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills but really I just know that there are a bunch of lazy curmudgeons out there that can't be bothered to look for themselves.
It would be helpful to know what specific problems you have with the single threaded model. You might still have some options staying with node. I think you can have worker threads but maybe you can't share memory, or you might be able to run multiple node processes.

Otherwise you probably want to just switch to go.
You can go through all the reals one by one, in order. As long as you can keep going for infinity.

Simple: at each step generate a random real number and assign it a natural number.

You will never run out of natural numbers.

And if you keep going to infinity, then the probability of generating all reals is 1. So you would be generating all reals and assigned all of them a natural number.

The issue is that the proofs for uncountability assume we can finish counting natural numbers and after finishing, generate a real that is not in the naturals.

But if we had finished counting, we could do the same for the naturals, just add 1 to the largest number and you’d have something not in the set. Of course you can only do that if you have a finite set, which is not the case for the naturals =><=

> Many Minecraft mods are one time purchases

> Minecraft is so buggy that it’s truly not suitable for kids, or anyone for that matter.

> Minecraft will continuously corrupt saves you need to fully reinstall the game

I don't recognize the game you are describing. I've never heard of a paid minecraft mod, they're all free. Buggy? It has some odd in-game behavior that you could reasonably call bugs, but the only crashes I've ever gotten were during modding, caused by incompatible or low quality mods. Corrupting saves? I've never experienced it, nor can I imagine how a corrupted save would be addressed by reinstalling the game. What is the supposed connection between a save file being corrupted and needing to reinstall the entire game?

You've obviously got some strange prejudices about this game which simply don't resemble reality.
Correct - this is actually a core focus of Weaviate. That's why it's not limited to only ANN but also has an inverted index, optional modules, etc.

I get most of my daily news from ... Teletext [1]. I'm lucky to be in a country that still has it.

I much prefer that format over news sites on the web: Headlines are often laid out in a list one entry below the other, which is easy to read through without having to scroll.
Because pages are limited to 40 columns × 24 rows, every article is short and to the point.

I don't usually read it on TV though but on a web-site [2] which has transformed page numbers into hyperlinks, and given multi-pages a tab-like interface.
There are still no images, no ads ... and especially no auto-playing videos. Perfect!

Recently though, I've spent a lot of time in a hospital bed and it has been easier for me then to use the TV remote with one hand to check teletext than to use the tablet or smartphone.

If you take one look at the demographics of developed countries, the reality is that we absolutely need to replace the majority of human labor in order to maintain any sustainable material standard of living. Old age entitlements are a ticking time bomb, with fewer workers in each generation to support the growing share of longer and longer lived retirees. You want social unrest, take a look at France, which is on fire at the moment because the government had the temerity to try and raise the legal retirement age to 64.
The whole thing hinges on having a modified third-party app, so I don't really see how it's applicable to Telegram itself. Its apps are open-source and have reproducible builds - that ensures trust. I don't see what the point of this paper even is, because a third-party app could as well just forward all the messages to its servers. Still wouldn't be a fault in actual Telegram apps or encryption.
The main problem here is Pacman's handling of "PostTransaction" hooks (which in this case builds the zfs kernel module). The whole installation should have failed but it didn't. Individual hooks can specify "AbortOnFail" but it's available to "PreTransaction" hooks only.
If you consider stallman is using the colloquial definition of artificial intelligence (which, as pop culture uses it, is basically artificial consciousness), his answer makes a lot more sense.
>> It plays games with words to make plausible-sounding English text, but any statements made in it are liable to be false

> Well, that could also be perfectly applied to any human.

I agree completely with that part.

> The difference being that humans may make purposefully or not false statement (i.e. by lying or by ignorance), whereas the AI will only make false statements by ignorance.

Sometimes it's difficult to be sure if a humans is overconfident or trying to sound smart, and classify the answer as a honest error, bullshit or a lie. (And sometimes the answer is a mix of them.)

Most of the times human don't lie for fun, but because they have a secret objective. The problem is that ChatGPT has no objective (except trying to sound smart bulshiting plausible-sounding English text).

It's better to discuss about an AI that has an objective, like AlphaStar that "wants" to win a StarCraftII game. Can AlphaStar lie?

* Can AlphaStar send an empty transport plane to the right so the player tries to defend that fake attack, and then AlphaStar attack at the left with real troops?

* Can AlphaStar create fake hallucinate troops that look real for the player but actually can't attack, so the player gets scared and run away or attack the fake troops instead of the real ones?

Is that lying or ignorance?
I think that’s a simplistic view. Sure thing AI will make a bunch of problems disappear… but do you really think that with all the power of AI, we are going to keep publishing react apps? Golang web servers? Rest APIs? No. We’ll be publishing more sophisticated stuff. And no, AI simply cannot magically do everything (AI today is not the AI we will have in 100 years… unless you think the AI of today is the most we can get from AI)… so in between we (humans) will be working to use AI tooling to fulfill user requirements.

This trope unfolds in an even more absurd way in the Russian-speaking media space, where participants are trained in genocidal thinking. Every bombing of a Ukrainian city is met with a cheering applause and reveling in how those Ukrainians got what “they deserve”, but then (or simultaneously?) the narrative switches into “Ukrainians bomb themselves”.
> On the other hand, maybe in a post scarcity society, this artist won’t have to work to survive, and they can do all the 3D modeling they want without having to worry about rent and food.

The scary part to me is that there’s scant evidence that a post-scarcity society will be allowed to develop. It seems more likely that those at the top will reap the entirety of the fruits of productivity gains enabled by employing AI, much as they’ve been doing for the more incremental (but still massive) productivity gains of the past several decades. Very little of the pie will be shared with the working class.

So we are in agreement then that western reporting is generally accurate and the missile attacks on civilians across Ukraine are acts by Russia and not false flags ordered by Zelensky?
