If you want to see if something works, make it. The whole thing. The simplest version of the whole thing – that’s what version 1.0 is supposed to be. But make that, put it out there, and learn. If you want answers, you have to ask the question, and the question is: Market, what do you think of this completed version 1.0 of our product?

I think is totally right about the question.

The industry isn't used to breaking the marketeers hype mirages, on the contrary, is used to create new ones with products that fill the void.

I literally saw the teacher returning the phones to kids in the afternoon when I went to pick up my son. I also spent a day with him there when he was doing a "trial week" a few months before the end of kindergarten and I saw no kids using phones that whole day (and I saw a lot of kids throughout that day).

You’ll be surprised what an addiction to attention can do to some people..
IMHO the argument isn't that AI is definitely going to be deceptive and want to kill us all, but rather that if you're 90% sure that AI is going to be just fine, that 10% of existential risk is simply not acceptable, so you should assume that this level of certainty isn't enough and you should act as if AI may be deceptive and may kill us all and take very serious preventive measures even if you're quite certain that it won't be needed - because "quite certain" isn't enough, you want to be at "this is definitely established to not lead to Skynet" level.
I’m guessing they mean not amazing as in “not very healthy”.
Graeber did a top notch job with Debt: The First 5000 thousand years. But I think Anthropologists taking on big history is a bit of a stretch. Harari's books, for example are very superficial, trying to touch on everything from biology to politics and end up with very little real insight. I never felt Dawn of Everything would be worth the time and money...

edit: for the record, answering in edits is weird and I'm against it... authors slinging mud is hardly a case for their own competence, besides recommending a book about the whole of history to someone who wanted documentary recommendations on a very specific topic in History is also a bit of a hack

Now, it's clearer what you mean. But still doesn't not make much sense, sorry! You apparently see something which I didn't say, and refute something which I didn't say with impressive energy. No, making docs using common terms of today won't make you wish to turn Emacs to Visual Studio, or whatever other IDE you don't like. There are Emacs tutorials written in languages other than English where standard terminology for that particular language used. You know, you would not invent a separate word just to mirror idiosyncrasy of Emacs slang present in English. Trust me, there are no signs that after reading them somebody got obsessed with turning Emacs into Visual Studio.

Not entirely sure but here is an hunch , a single memory is really hard to remove, and presuming they're not training it again. Here are some solutions

1) Block Personally Identifiable info to get into training data : Maybe have a redact such info before passing it to model . Just having a layer between I/O and the processing .

2) Have a sort of VCS for models and rewind and retrain if such is needed to be done . ( Seems quite unfeasible )

3) If it is not an info but rather an opinion , train the model to counter biases

> No, it just requires constantly feeling hunger pains.

No it doesn't, just eat more filling foods with lots of fiber. Veggies are cheaper than dirt, far cheaper than junk food, and far more sating. Junk food is engineered to leave you feeling hungry, to encourage you to buy more. Stop buying junk food completely; no more chips, colas or frozen pizzas. Buy vegetables, particularly the leafy ones, and eat as much as it takes to make yourself feel full. You'll lose weight and save money at the same time.
Is that an issue with modern cars, or GM's quality? Overall, American cars have been seen as low quality for decades.

Just feels like apple has to much going for them:

- access to custom silicon and potentially display technology ahead of what is available to competitors

- huge amount of money and resources to throw at this (buying up supply chain for key components etc)

- initial devices being iPhone / iPad / Mac accessories will give them a route to market & access to developers

I just don’t see how anyone else gets a look in.
If you use wireguard or something similar that gives every client their own private and encrypted IP then you don't really need syncthing. You can just use rclone or even rsync commands that point directly at the appropriate client IP in the mesh network. Syncthing is still useful though for its continuous syncing support and overall UI.
One primary explanation of ourselves is that there is in fact a "self" there, we feel this "self" as being permanent, continuous through time, yet we are absolutely sure that is a lie: there are no continuous processes in the entire universe, energy itself is quantized.

In the morning when we wake up, we are "booting" up the memories the brain finds and we believe that we have persisted through time, from yesterday to today, yet we are absolutely sure that is a lie: just look at an Alzheimer patient.

We are feeling this self as if it's somewhere above the neck and we feel like this self is looking at the world and sees "out there", yet we are absolutely sure that is a lie: our senses are being overflown by inputs and the brain filters them, shapes a model of the world, and presents that model to the internal model of itself, which gets so immersed into model of the world that starts to believe the model is indeed the world, until the first bistable image [1] breaks the model down.

Yep, that's why "help" was in quotes - there's nothing a parent can do from the parking lot. And allowing them into the building probably doesn't help either. It's a shit situation for everybody involved (and better solved at the root - we're just unwilling to do that).
MetAI
The split brain experiments very very clearly indicate that different parts of the brain can independently conduct behavior and gain knowledge independently of other parts.

How or if this generalizes to healthy brains is not super clear, but it does actually provide a good explanatory model for all sorts of self-contradictory behavior (like addiction): the brain has many semi-independent “interests” that are jockeying for overall control of the organism’s behavior. These interests can be fully contradictory to each other.

Correct, ultimately we do not know. But it’s actually a different question than your rephrasing.

People wielding AI and destroying humanity is very different from AI itself, being a weird alien intelligence, destroying humanity.

Honestly if you have no examples you can't really blame people for not being scared. I have no reason to think this ant-human relationship is analogous.

And seriously, I've made no claims that AI is benign so please stop characterizing my claims thusly. The question is simple, give me a single hypothetical example of how an AI will destroy humanity?
Humans aren't rational.

Nordstrom's liberal return policy increased sales. Probably by mooting the fear of buyer's remorse. Their policy definitely wasn't motivated by altruism.

Maybe something similar is happening with Jetbrains.

I continue to pay yearly for Ultimate, even though I only use vanilla IntelliJ, and sometimes not for years. Why? I have no idea.

I usually cancel subscriptions without hestitaion. Somehow the Jetbrains license doesn't piss me off and I'm content knowing I could cancel without too much inconvenience, should I choose.

Whatever the case, I'm certain they validated their current license maximizes revenue.

I did exaggerate a little, I apologize. It's not just rural areas though, there are plenty of small towns without any grocery stores, and urban areas where the nearest grocery store is very far away, especially if you don't have regular access to a car.

yeah… I can’t agree less… Twitter is basically “built on bitching” at this point… viewpoint A bitches about viewpoint B” (pick your own A and B) … customers bitch about companies… Stan’s bitch about people not getting the things they Stan for… and generally everyone is bitching about Twitter itself, doubly so since Elon first offered to buy it, triply so since he bought it, quadruply so now he’s actually running it as an active CEO.

In this case, I think we do if you will check out the paper (https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/neuron-explainer/...). Their method is to

1. Show GPT-4 a GPT-produced text with the activation level of a specific neuron at the time it was producing that part of the text highlighted. They then ask GPT-4 for an explanation of what the neuron is doing.

Text: "...mathematics is done _properly_, it...if it's done _right_. (Take ..."

GPT produces "words and phrases related to performing actions correctly or properly".

2. Based on the explanation, get GPT to guess how strong the neuron activates on a new text.

"Assuming that the neuron activates on words and phrases related to performing actions correctly or properly. GPT-4 guesses how strongly the neuron responds at each token: '...Boot. When done _correctly_, "Secure...'"

3. Compare those predictions to the actual activations of the neuron on the text to generate a score.

So there is no introspection going on.

They say, "We applied our method to all MLP neurons in GPT-2 XL [out of 1.5B?]. We found over 1,000 neurons with explanations that scored at least 0.8, meaning that according to GPT-4 they account for most of the neuron's top-activating behavior." But they also mention, "However, we found that both GPT-4-based and human contractor explanations still score poorly in absolute terms. When looking at neurons, we also found the typical neuron appeared quite polysemantic."
All of my mushroom experiments have ended in mold. I wonder if I just need a more aggressive fungi.
Haha, I have to assume so, but honestly I didn't spend much time in the chicken coop because I thought it smelled bad. I'm not sure where the eggs went, also. And yea, on reflection, it probably wasn't, like, above-board to have kids working with live animals in school? I remember a friend getting pecked by a chicken once. This was a pretty agg-y area in New Mexico and most everyone I grew up with had at least some animals on their land, so it wasn't unusual.
Re: The Federal Reserve’s Supervision and Regulation of Silicon Valley Bank [pdf]
Sure, if they want to completely devalue there brand by releasing low quality stuff they can go ahead. People are not stupid, they will only tolerate low quality stuff for so long. Evident by the rise of self published RPG stuff. I'm not that familiar with that market, but I am familiar with Pro Wrestling. At some point WWE established a monopoly and it's quality slowly started going to shit. some people were completely writing off the industry in North america. But then slowly in 2000s we had the rise of independent promotions and eventually AEW. The whole thing is a beautiful display of capitalism and markets functioning. Monopoly is slowly being broken down because it started producing shit.
>They won't clandestinely pretend to be your local neighbor on a Facebook group

Of course they will, and do. They do both. And it's not "pretending" — your neighbor could very well be one, and truly believe in The Cause.
> (I can use chopsticks okay but I can't just pick them up and immediately grab stuff, I need to adjust my hand position usually. Tweezers it's just grab and go.)

I use them rarely enough that I have to re-learn it each time. By the end of my dish I'm usually, finally, approaching the level of skill with them that I suppose a normal Chinese 2-year-old has. And I can only do that much because at one point, years back, I spent some time deliberately practicing with them.

Good luck!
I think chopsticks are more than twice as hard as a pencil (even never having used either) simply because you're trying to use two rods together. (Unless we allow just stabbing stuff I suppose, but that only works with certain foods and generally they won't be the whole meal anyway.)
> Damn near anything is "addictive" in that environment - books, doodling, origami, annoying people around you, etc.

False. If any of that were addictive, the student would continue doing it even when other options exist, and continue doing it despite negative consequences.

> Schools are very artificial environments with a massive lack of stimulation

Correct but misguided.

Schools are artificial environments with imposed constraints. You're supposed to derive stimulation from being interested in the nature of the world around you, but that's boring, so at least derive stimulation from entertaining yourself within the constraints.

Everyone here has a story about hacking the school computers to play Doom (a learning experience and achievement, however subversive), but 30 years from now, none of these kids are going to be talking about how awesome it was to mindlessly watch TikTok during math class. None of them will remember what they even watched.

The phone has endless "stimulating" content, but it's not stimulating you to actually do anything but repetitively scroll through content you'll quickly forget. It's junk food for the brain, and only "stimulating" in the way stool softeners stimulate a bowel movement-- you shit it out long before you absorb anything of nutritional value.
> No need to make other systemic changes

Which, IMO, is the real tragedy of all of this. You're right we do need to make changes. But those changes don't just affect _blacks_. They affect _everyone_. People made it a racism issue, but in many way it's not. There are plenty of poor white an brown folks that deal with many of the systemic issues too. They just aren't politically convenient.
Best sync software in my view. The only downside is that there is no good iOS app.

I think the developers made the right decision focusing the software on peer to peer sync (i.e., not expanding to nearby “cloud features”: backup, photos, videos, office, etc).
Fixed. Don't know what happened there.

Timing is a thing and there are a huge number of complaints about Unity this week due to the layoffs. Her twitter feed is probably full of them and what she said is fairly tame in comparison to what is out there at the moment.
If AI can exist humans have to figure it out. It’s what we do. Really shockingly delusional to think people are gonna use chatgpt for a few min get bored and then ban it like it’s a nuke. I’d rather the USA get it first anyways.
I think some of these folks who are on several acres, and who have poultry, cattle, pigs, and extensive gardens, will likely not starve.

But life will be hard, once the fuel and electricity run out, even the ones who are totally off grid with solar and storage batteries. Just basic stuff like screws, pumps, pipes, tools, not to mention medical care, pharmaceuticals etc.

GUIs used to handle keyboard input consistently so you could type ahead, even into future dialog boxes, if you weren't using the mouse. Unfortunately, this tends to be broken for modern GUIs using async frameworks.
I don't like competing so my first thought was to make a card which says, "You win the game." Is that possible, ostensibly with great cost, or is there some restriction on the effects? I believe MTG card effects often directly translate to a certain "mana" cost so it can be determined (in most cases) if a card is "overpowered" for its cost. Does this have some mechanism which ties effect to cost?

(I also appreciate the "old-school" approach in this case; I suspect it actually makes it easier to determine that the intended card is invalid.)

Edit: I tried, and I guess it is able to understand that. Nothing which seems to tie that to a cost, though. That makes sense as you'd effectively have to define a game system while this is crowdsourcing that to the community. I imagine the intention for play (if there really is one) is to have players agree on a set of cards to use.
Getting ready to ship 13th Gen and announcing power saving Expansion Cards
I remember a sci-fi book where the main character asked the robot to do something, and the robot did, and the character thanked it. And someone said "why did you thank it? It has no feelings and can't understand it." The reply was something along the lines of "the thanks comes from me, and if I stop doing it for robots I'll stop doing it for people, too, eventually."
They also mention they got a score above 0.8 for 1000 neurons out of GPT2 (which has 1.5B (?)).

Yeah, I just feel there are better things to be done to address crime than ramping up light pollution. It gives me a similar feeling to those anti-homeless bench designs; an attack on the local symptom which avoids addressing the underlying issue.
That was basically my edit, we may have missed each other.

The only point I can see making is that for some reason I doubt openai actually paid the author for the contents of the book, but maybe they did.

Maybe they borrowed ebooks one by one from some digital library and ingested them that way for free.
"As many readers here probably understand from first hand experience, software isn’t a final product (typically)."

But then Logic Pro for the mac has been a one time purchase for me since Logic Pro X and has been religiously updated every year with tons of new content and features. Probably to empower Mac sales, which is a boost that they feel the iPad does not need.
That Twitter is built on people yelling at each other is not a good counterpoint against a claim that such yelling is destructive.
