I think you're right that they did develop multi-episode character and story arcs and mythology, but I feel like it was done organically - not quite so meticulously planned up front, and so it kinda devolved into incoherence in the end.
What is the benefit of thinking and writing in school? Forcing the populace to do these tasks doesn't seem to have a beneficial effect. English degrees are out of jobs and my courses in English I'd call absolutely useless. I remember doing all the work for a group project because it was easier for everyone who would just copy and paste wikipedia to me.

I'd have to see the value of these essays if there are any. I have yet to see any evidence they do anything except occasionally put people's heads in the clouds.
Seems like setting up honeypot sites would be a perfect application for AI. You can even generate fake faces to keep real people out of it.

ChatMe – Charlie: AI Chat Support Bot for Discord
For anyone who runs a large discord server (>1k users). It can be massive pain to handle questions over and over. I've tried combatting this with hiring more moderators, creating FAQs and even creating a bot that does string matching keywords with canned answers. Unfortunately none of this is robust enough and leaves a lot to be desired.

With ChatMe - Charlie, you can teach Charlie and be up in running in less than 60 seconds. This tool makes running your own AI very trivial. If you find this useful please let me know!

Let me know if you have questions.

This, AI more directly competes with service outsourcing than anything else.

AI isn't reliable. But is your outsourced team any better?

Outsourcing is cheap, but AI is 100 times cheaper.

Communicating with AI, via prompt engineering, is easier than setting up cross-cultural + timezone communications.

India really depends on service outsourcing. So I'm curious regarding how it'll be impacted by AI. That being said, nothing stopping the Indians themselves using the AIs and reinventing their companies.
> Hardly anyone in the tech community is capable of truly empathizing with the vast majority of people

This is a gross exaggeration.
It used to be that only a few academics were actually working on AGI, and even they had to pretend they were working on narrow AI to get funding. But now, plenty of big labs are. For example, DeepMind's About page states:

> Our long term aim is to solve intelligence, developing more general and capable problem-solving systems, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).

In the long term, I still think DeepMind will get there before OpenAI, due to the direction of their research program, which has always been about embodied agents. I have heard Shane Legg say that embodiment is probably necessary for AGI.

If we had that magic machine, then there would be something else that money could buy that everyone would want, and spend their whole lives competing over. Maybe it would be a house with a specific view or an original of a painting or whatever.

I think most people want social status, and money is a good proxy of that. Even in a hypothetical moneyless society there would still be things to compete over. Due to the hedonic treadmill, in an automated society where anyone can have any good then those things will become worthless. We'll probably still have poor people, and from their perspective they'll be poor, but from ours they'll be very wealthy.
I think global climate change is also a civilization ending development but we don't see the world activate to battle that in unison.

A nice guy but we really didn't want him messing with the code.

He was the unofficial leader of a group of people I named "The Defect Generators".

Almost every war everywhere is fighting with AK's somewhere in the mix, often on both sides.

OK, I dare you to support replacement immigration / colonization against any native people who are not Europeans. The world agreed that it was a horrible thing when it was done against American natives, against Aboriginals and against other people. Why do so many cheer on doing the same thing against European natives?

Slavers used to defend the trans-Atlantic trafficking with the argument that the American natives were too few, didn't produce enough and didn't breed enough. I hear a lot of similar arguments being used against native European peoples today. Should we always repeat history?
> Especially when you don't seem to be bothered by the possibility that this is a civilization-ending development.

Lots of people freak out based on concerns divorced from reality. I laughed at the people who thought the mayan calendar meant 2012 was the end of the world. I laughed at the people who thought the LHC would create a black hole that would gobble the earth. I laughed at the people who thought covid vaccines were a eugenics mass sterialization campaign.

Why shouldn't I? The magnitude of the risk they propose does nothing to change the sheer ridiculousness of it.
Monkeypox was(/is? Idk) not a non-event, it was very real and relevant professionals were concerned about it. I don't know where 'BNONews' is based, but since China's in the title of this one I'll point out there were 'monkeypox' cases in the UK too for example.

Just because it fortunately didn't go (/hasn't gone!) like SARS-nCoV-2019 doesn't mean it wasn't worth reporting.

>That's why chairs work and colors don't: you think you're getting closer by stacking chairs when in reality, all you're going to do is fall down.

People seem to keep missing this point, but no, in my hypothetical the chairs really do work because, in the end of the effectively increase the mass of the entire Earth, and in so far as the increasingly silly analogy sheds light on anything it's that the quantitative advancement does convey a qualitative benefit. Which, as it happens, is a perfect encapsulation of the way in which chat GPT has achieved its success thus far.

It's also helpful because exposes the pitfall of the analogy in an important way, which is that the analogy purports to assert a category difference, but fails to do so. In your version, the new category is orbital mechanics, and I can just see the satisfaction radiating off your comment as you repeatedly imply a deficit of knowledge on the part of anyone who might disagree. But my analogy got from point a to point b while disregarding this entirely, because orbital mechanics is a means to the end of traversing distance, and not the only means, and not something that identifies a distinct fundamental category into which one must enter to traverse the distance. It's this confusion over methods and fundamental principles that is the entire point I was making in my original comment.
> I feel a lot has to do with the technology that's available; in 1966 when Star Trek aired you couldn't really rely that everyone had seen all the episodes; who can always be at home at a given date and time? People got lives to lead.

True. And it's true that times have changed, but I really miss a good episodic Trek where you can simply tune in and out. Sure, we can stream episodes and guarantee that we've seen them all in order, but... my gosh I still have a life to lead, and I can't remember everything in your plot just for the sake of it. I'm hoping SNW is going that way, but I'm unsure.
This is literally the plot of a Futurama episode.

This is a pretty disappointing opinion to share. Clearly something huge is happening already that we don't need yet another model to throw everything into disarray once more. I still work with GPT3, and think we haven't even begun to understand how to use even that. GPT3 is enough to disrupt entire industries, amongst which programming and tech will be IMO the most "vulnerable."

At least you are putting your disillusioned cynicism on full display, clearly showing that you think you already lost.

I think the main problem with MIT is that if you offer the largest industry players the opportunity to “do whatever the fuck [they] want” then they will. Historically, this has not been great for users.

As an obvious example, I honestly can't imagine the Linux kernel having had the impact that it has had if all of the myriad corporations building on it weren't forced to contribute their work back to it under the same conditions.

I don't follow. You will be able to set up a chatbot, but I can't imagine a home grown solution will ever be as useful as a private one, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars in training.

Not exactly seeing great performance with this model. It gets tripped up by ridiculously silly questions.

For example
"if you have a spoon, a knife, a fork, a carrot and a calculator, which one would you use for math?"

> None. The question is grammatically incorrect as it implies that the person has all of those items in their possession at once

or

"The bus was going so fast it passed the racecar". What vehicle was going the fastest?"

7.62x39mm (Russian) won't fire in a 7.62x51mm (NATO) rifle because the Russian round is narrower and will slip into the chamber too deep to fire. And conversely, the NATO round is too big (length and wide) to fire in the Russian chamber.

5.54x39mm (Russian) won't fire in a 5.56x45mm (NATO) rifle because it's a slightly wider case and won't fit in a NATO chamber. The NATO round is too long to close the chamber on the Russian rifle.

Not likely. The 60’s had riots, Vietnam, political assassinations, Cuban missile crisis and ongoing Cold War MAD fears. The 1910-1940’s were jam packed with world wars, the Great Depression, Spanish flu, and more. And before that a quarter of all children died young. Every generation ever. What’s actually unprecedented is having a few years between crises where things are actually pretty ok!
One more healthcare note - I had a lapse in coverage between jobs and my state health exchange (Thanks Obama!) was ~1/2 the COBRA price. That's what was recommended by my HR company at the job I was leaving. This was in CA, but similar situation in MA.

My personal experience as a European citizen living in the U.S. is drastically different.

I flee the U.S. to have all my medical related tests and work, out of pocket, in the E.U.
And it is cheaper and much much better experience.
(And I don't get different treatment compared to any members of my family that are insured in Europe for paying out of pocket.)

First of all: I speak with a doctor. Not a nurse, an administrator to size me up, to see if I am in actual need of an appointment, but a doctor. (Yes, this has happened to me in the U.S. I find it unacceptable, especially given that I was apparently in much more dire situation than I even thought, and was lucky to be seen by a doctor, otherwise I would have joined the disabled group of individuals.)

I am not sure why people in the U.S. keep bringing up the UK [Edit: -- not sure if that is what you are implying but most people are in other comments]. Pick any EU country. Sure, you might not have a 5 star doctor's office, but you are going to be treated by a doctor efficiently. And that is what matters. Don't waste money on administrative tasks and fees.
Some of those signatories are indeed interesting.

Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak.

Some big companies are there: the CEOs/co-founders of Skype, Pinterest, Ripple.

Some AI companies are there too. CEOs/founders/head researchers from Stability, DeepMind, Metaculus. Some Microsoft employees, but no big repsentatives.

Academic AI research is there, including Stuart Russell, John Hopfield and Max Tegmark.

Some major names from the AGI Risk field too; Steve Omohundro, Roman Yampolskiy, Alyssa Vance, Nate Soares.

I don’t see Bostrom, Kurzweil, Yudkowsky, Norvig - at least not yet. No one from OpenAI, unsurprisingly.

Interesting. Wonder what sparked this.

Not just in Russia, a smile has to be 'earned'. In France, too.

The French are often described as 'aloof' or 'arrogant' when they use their normal, 'undertaker face'. But that is their cultural norm.

If you earn a French smile, you are sure that they like you for yourself.

Whatever floats your boat but Iceland is absolutely spectacular to look at as a visitor; Texas…is not (though I’m sure in a state that big there are going to be some scenic spots somewhere).

> You can't buy a brand new 2007 Toyota Camry this year, and the 2022 Toyota Camry is a very different car than the 2007 Toyota Camry.

That is not how TCO over 15 years is calculated.

You need data for the same fleet of cars over 15 years, you don't buy the same car over and over for 15 years. It's not relevant that the 2022 model is different, the TCO is for the 2007 model year cars (using 2007 as the example).

So for a 2007 Camry, we could poll all owners of Camrys built in 2007 to get data about their TCO over the past 15 years. We can't do that for a Tesla Model 3 since nobody has owned one for 15 years so there is nobody to poll yet.
