I think they should be responsible for the packages in their package manager. That's the main thing that distros do.

For software that they can't do this with, or that isn't worth their time, they just omit it from the package manager.
So my question here is if Bing Chat (or other LLMs) will withhold information from users when it conflicts with an ad. Right now searches will prioritize ads but will still return the real results, if LLMs refuse to return the real results then we'll have a lot of issues.
Safety is an under appreciated function of car color. I've had a number of same looking cars of different color. I noticed that driving a white version results in substantially less near miss/near accidents while driving.

I will only buy white cars now because of this. I'm tired of dodging inattentive drivers that are sleepdriving through their commute or whatever they are doing besides driving.
I love this, even though it's not to my personal taste. For whatever reason, it invokes a similar feeling to seeing a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh¹ for the first time.

What we need is more funding into AI Alignment research. An X-Prize equivalent. All current big AI companies should fund it, to the tune of 20%+ of revenue from AI businesses. And I am okay to have government enforce this if needed even tho I'm mostly a libertarian. Government should only be there to remedy tragedy of the commons and nothing else. This is exactly the biggest tragedy of the commons.
This 1000%. It's incredible how just being mediocre leads to so much pain down the road from wasted effort and bad design.

No, SVB failed as a result of a bank run. What OP is suggesting is more akin to Arthur Andersen after Enron.
Your life expectancy figure is misleading. Life expectancy at birth was low due to high infant mortality. Life expectancy at age 15 was in the high 60s in 1933[1].

Your initial post referenced ~60% of people are impaired to the degree that they need explicit accommodation. They can't all be over 60, the demographics just don't work.

Rebuttal: https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/a-misleading-open-letter-a...

Summary: misinfo, labor impact, and safety are real dangers of LLMs. But in each case the letter invokes speculative, futuristic risks, ignoring the version of each problem that’s already harming people. It distracts from the real issues and makes it harder to address them.

The containment mindset may have worked for nuclear risk and cloning but is not a good fit for generative AI. Further locking down models only benefits the companies that the letter seeks to regulate.

Besides, a big shift in the last 6 months is that model size is not the primary driver of abilities: it’s augmentation (LangChain etc.) And GPT3-class models can now run on iPhones. The letter ignores these developments. So a moratorium is ineffective at best and counterproductive at worst.
I DESPISED my first job (I delivered newspapers), but the independence it afforded me, the ability to buy clothes I like, to invest in a computer of my own and to take my girlfriend on dates was extremely fulfilling.

Productive work, in general, is fulfilling even if you don't happen to like your current "job." It is not the job itself, it is the act of taking action in order to achieve your values. If you value producing art, that is productive work even if it's not your "job" and even if it doesn't pay the bills. You are achieving some value from that. If you are truly fortunate you can find a way to monetize doing work that you would do even if it didn't pay ... but if your job is "just a means to an end", that end is clearly a value and the job is helping you achieve it. It's the achievement of the value that is rewarding.
Does that mean you can't use your own phone number if you're an Android user?
Antitrust is akin to this, with corporations being split into much smaller and way less powerful entities - it happened to AT&T, and Microsoft was close to getting sentenced as well in 1990s.
But you didn't even have to open the references dialog to create an application.

VB was great because it made easy stuff easy but it also made more difficult stuff possible. You could reference other libraries, of course. You could also directly call Win32 APIs. But you didn't need to that. You didn't need any boilerplate or ceremony -- you could drop a button on a form, double-click on it to add code, and make it do something without knowing anything about the infrastructure to make that possible.

As far as I know, there are no tools that do something equivalent now that aren't so sandboxed that it's a dead end.

> My parents aligned me as a kid not to hit people

It is just happens that whatever your parents aligned you with was also an optimal behavior for the world we live in.

For AGIx27 optimal behavior might be to cull any genetically/physically unfit humans from population (say 95%) and send others to a “zoo” or NVidia fabs or whatever we are useful for.

Google, Facebook, and Twitter didn't have that choice. They could either agree to follow Chinese censorship, or be steadfast and get banned. They did the latter.

TikTok is not asking to be allowed to operate in the US and uphold Chinese values. It's just asking to be allowed to operate in the US, and agreed to public oversight on its algorithms and data storage. This is essentially equivalent to what the Chinese government asks of American companies, and what they declined to do, in large part due to moral disagreement from their employees.
I wonder if you remind it with those instructions with each prompt, if that would help? Also, I'm curious, approx how much does it cost for each small app build / iteration?
Governments should be in the habit of shutting down any and all enterprises at a drop of a hat. Any infraction should result in immediate termination + mass arrests as you correctly point out. Countries that have taken this approach (i.e. Cuba, Zimbabwe) have shown great success and flourishing, thriving economies.
I love using Beeper, but I disabled iMessages. It is a bit unreliable when it comes to iMessages

Clearly fines aren't sufficiently high. I think we need to scale them with revenue. Like towards 25-50%. Maybe with some payment plan if needed taking money from employer/executive bonuses, stock buybacks and dividends until it is paid with full interest.

What is the convention? Beginning selectors in a file by the filename only? If I understand correctly, then I'd fallback on the linting.

If the file is renamed, then yes, you change the selectors. That's a simple operation. But I think the same goes for any JS framework where you'd create components. If you change "button" for "secondary-button" you'd have to change it in at least a couple of places I guess? Either way, you should limit these kind of operations to a minimum.

And what if I don't want to use VSCode? Maybe there are Tailwind plugins for every text editor...

But more importantly, that's quite easy to include your CSS files in the autocompletion of, for example, Sublime Text. I'd guess it's the same in VSCode. And again, simple linting should prevent much of these problems I think. You can easily lint contradictory rules in a ruleset. Stylelint would be perfect for that.

And if by mistake you have contradicting rules across rulesets, then a quick look at the devtools will tell you where the problem comes from. On a sidenote, the devtools become real difficult to use in a Tailwind-like paradigm.

My grandparents had church, social clubs, mutual aid organizations, and unions which all helped (paid for) support of one kind or another during their hardships.

Working together and accommodating others is probably one of the strengths we’ve actually failed to foster in the contemporary context, to our detriment. The atomization of the individual and the cult of silent suffering is something they’d balk or pity us for.
Authors have an idea of right and wrong, true and false. Everything they say, they have some internal idea of how "sure" they are repeating the truth, or when they are purposely misinforming or lying. Most people think misleading people is bad, and try to avoid it. And if they don't avoid it, they can be punished, ignored, discredited, etc.

It is not possible to teach anything like ChatGPT to only tell things that are the truth, because the model has no concept of that. Even if you tell ChatGPT to act like someone who only tells the truth, it can still generate falsehoods. Hallucination is a very apt word for the phenomenon as, to the model, lies and falsehoods and misleading statements are the same validity as absolute fact. They both become valid sentences. The very concept of language, as a medium of information exchange, does not provide any info about information validity. It's out of band.

When ChatGPT misleads someone, you cannot convince it to do that less, even if it """wants""" to, no matter how much you punish, encourage, require, etc.
Yea, kinda suspicious, also asked chatGPT about it:

"Based on the text alone, it is difficult to determine with certainty whether it was written by a language model or a human. However, the text does not contain any errors or inconsistencies that would suggest it was written by a human, and the language used is somewhat formal and technical. Therefore, there is a possibility that the text was written by a language model."

... and the accounts other comments are also in the similar "somewhat formal" style.
You have to read the post related to this proposal (first link). It shows why it makes sense more than whatever is proposed in this thread.

I agree that it looks like trash, though.
I can't find that language in the act. It seems to apply to any violation of the act. The linked article goes over the language of the act and it seems to have the same impression thereof.

What makes you think those results would be neural, and not sponsored/SEOed the same way everything is these days? What makes you think the machine works for you and not the advertisers? Also, to this day, LLMs/ANNs are not capable of explaining their outcome, and you won't argue/reason with them. That's a pretty big difference if you ask me.
People should buy sweaters and headphones for themselves then. Accommodation in this context references something an employer must explicitly provide for employees (usually by law). Are you suggesting that employers need to hand out headphones and sweaters?

Honest question,did the Patriot act ever get misused intentionally in a grossly negligent way?
We already have more than enough problems with systems being too complex to understand.

Indeed, aligns with my own thoughts on the impossibility of AI alignment.

"However, each new layer and new tech that we add becomes a greater separation between what we can perceive and the complexity of the machine that becomes ever more incomprehensible. So we build ever more tech to help us understand the existing tech with each part being another component of complexity and potential problems."

Its the one ring with the ultimate power. But so powerful that it might, if not almost certainly will, end us all.

Perhaps this IS the solution to the Fermi Paradox.
It used to be good, but my guess is a modern kid, particularly a middle class one, doesn't get as much out of it. Minimum wage has stagnated, but also people these days have their eyes on internships that will secure a career. There's simply no point in pursuing burger-flipping if you can't find a way to hang around a law firm or a hedge fund, and those firms won't care at all that you worked hard in a menial job.

When I was a kid there was never a time when I could pay for everything. The first time that happened was an internship I got during college, and then my first job right after.
While the language of the bill is certainly way too broad and confusing, there's also a lot of fearmongering + exaggeration going on...

my friend imported an EV from china which is what you are looking for. It is essentially a golf cart.

I believe there would be a huge market for a simple (but with safety equipment) golf cart style electric car.

My next car will definitely be an electric truck, but I agree, I want simplicity and probably wont get it.
There is a plugin you can use that makes it work in every browser.
Other reasonable option could be to remove the limited liability of corporations and just throw all shareholders to couple years of slave labour. At least in countries like USA where slavery is fully legal and costitutional.

Well yeah, ByteDance directly takes orders from the Chinese government. Big Tech can also take orders from the American government, but America is bound by the rule of law and isn't actively imprisoning millions in concentration camps so it's way better
For context, the cerebras models were trained in only a couple weeks and the purpose of the training was to establish a scaling law for compute-optimal training, presumably for predicting what will happen with larger models where it's more important to train in a compute-optimal way. This is a different goal than that of other research projects that try to get the most power per VRAM on small models.
Teenagers are impressionable and exist in an environment where they aren't allowed to seriously disagree with their teachers. They're also under huge pressure to conform to what seems popular.

A lot of unrealistic climate doomerism is however created by adults. Even climatologists are now realizing they've badly overdone it, but of course the monster they created just turns on them when they try to restrain it. See the fun Zeke Hausfather has been having lately with being called a climate denier.

For teenagers to get restored perspective and realize the future isn't going to end, and will in fact be pretty awesome, it is required first that their parents give up the doomer beliefs too. And that in turn requires people to get skeptical, to start seriously pushing back on those who tell people to never think for themselves. It's a hard social problem that goes well beyond teenagers.
I have been using Beeper for 6 months or so now. In the start it had some bugs, but now they are more and more rare (I don't use iMessages).

Overall an amazing product, with what seems like a very active and product team behind which constants pushes out new updates.
Highly recommended 10/10!
Really missing wooden keys to make it complete...
How would that be possible? I've read the text and didn't see any ability for them to not publish it, but more practically as soon as they ban an app from X country not already on the list, wouldn't it become clear in their justification for doing so that the country of origin would have been added?

Are you claiming that powerful people only started using their power a hundred years ago when "modern PR" was formed? That nobody ever worried about information before that?

Why did you pick that as your starting point? To make things seem like a linear worsening? But even wealth inequality, which you talk about at length, got better before getting worse again during that time frame in the US... so I'm having trouble following the claim.
Funny to hear that. I'm closer to 60 than 50, and it never occurs to me to use GPT to write my code. So I wonder if it's partly based on how long someone has been doing something. In retrospect, I never copied code from StackOverflow either (have used it occasionally to get ideas, but mostly felt the code I'd find there just wasn't very good, or at least was too different from my personal coding style to be something I'd want to use verbatim.

In the end I agree with you though -- if GPT code is "good enough" then paying people to write code will soon be looked at like using horse-drawn wagons to get from place to place.
I really hate how so many hold this awful 1800s baroque steampunk aesthetic as 'beautiful' and then lambast modern design as if it isn't.

I like minimalism, particularly the swiss school. The sense of peace and zen that comes from witnessing the beauty of a good minimalist work is exquisite on an entirely new level that garish and tacky ornamentation could never achieve.

Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, but people should really keep to themselves about it. Because this guy's idea of 'beauty' is ugly AF to me

> I figured people were going to take issue with the opening anecdote about art, but that was simply the author trying to frame the story in an interesting way. The rest of the article was more compelling.

I don't disagree, but this is simply bad rhetoric. Don't start with an incorrect/misleading/confusing example, and then expect readers to stick with you for the more compelling stuff.
This is my take as well. It's still weak, and the more I use it the more I can see where it's just not quite there yet, but yeah - GPT 4 is clearly something new. Just spend any significant period of time with it trying to automate your own tasks/workflows, it is borderline kinda sorta magical, with a heavy emphasis on "borderline kinda sorta".
As I said, I know why it is the default. There's nothing that would have stopped `display: flex` having a different default `vertical-align` given `vertical-align` original use cases mostly didn't overlap anyway, but that's obviously armchair quarterbacking and we have the CSS we have.
I know you're jokingly responding to GP, but I seriously wonder if there's a deeper point here.

I feel like casual hookups are replacing cuddling and could be part of the issue but who knows.

communications might be relevant to the many critical legal and factual issues in this complex antitrust litigation.

All true. I'm just glad I wasn't subpoena'ed.

"Off the record" on a chat was often interpreted as "anything goes" including by people who should have known better. It should not have been, and I definitely heard lawyers say "if it's something you wouldn't want to come out in court, then don't say it via the computer, whether it's on OR off the record."
That's a luxury, isn't it? After all you might find that the only jobs you are able to get actually compromise your values.
If intelligence is all you need to dominate the world, why do some of the most powerful world leaders seem to not be more than a standard deviation above average intelligence (or at least they were before they became geriatric)?

Add in the fact that GPT-4 does not "think" very fast, has no arms or legs, needs to run on expensive specialized hardware, and essentially seems like a search algorithm that lacks creativity on things outside of its training set, and I just do not see the concern. Maybe GPT-42 will actually be more creative and adaptable than a human genius, but even then, this seems like a hypothetical problem for the 2050's, less pressing than "accidentally igniting the atmosphere with nuclear chain reactions".

Hollywood has instilled the idea that the first time an artificial intelligence becomes self aware and decides it wants to take over the world, it will immediately be successful.

The serious concern and scrutiny should only start stifling progress once we have some evidence of half-baked attempts by non-super-intelligent AI's attempting to subvert their boundaries.

I for one am very excited to use GPT-5 and see more useful tools coming from OpenAI.
Good on ppl for pursuing what makes them happy, but egad, the psuedo-intellectual trad vibes were overwhelming.
In other words, brilliant jerks don't BS you and tell you like it is. An admirable trait in my experience. And when you finally prove your worth to a brilliant jerk there tends to be a level of respect.
Wow! I didn't even know that Cerebras was a thing and I have been trying to keep up to date with this stuff!
Our other thread fleshes this out, but there's a difference between widespread idiom and accepted definition. A dictionary's description of idiomatic use does not indicate that the term independently denotes the idiomatic meaning.

Similarly, if I say "cats and dogs," that isn't a measure of volume or intensity except where paired with "raining." Having to say "of civilization" indicates that "cradle" is being used metaphorically or idiomatically.

Please be more charitable. None of what I've said is misinformation.
