> Hadn't read it, but let me guess, is it about how Gutenberg changed the society's interconnection fabric, and it triggered Thirty Year's War, and the same fabric remodeling thing is happening right now? :)

Yes, there is some reference to the evolution of the principle of national sovereignty which came from the disruption of the Catholic Church and how that ties to Europe trying to regulate AI advances coming out of America.

Like you said, he could just as well be an organic LLM.
I created a personal blog to store funny ChatGPT responses
This was just a quick for-fun to catalog and share funny generated responses I had saved with friends, I plan to keep adding to it as time goes
BTW, I don't think LCOE is misleading. It's true that you need to localize it depending on the exact circumstances of a particular place, but it's a pretty reasonable general measurement.

Which is why “nearly became a food staple” is not a very honest headline.

Nobody would have succeeded at this endeavor, so the idea that this “almost” happened is ludicrous.

You might as well say that Star Trek almost invented warp drive.
I've been experimenting with using ChatGPT for coding and building up some useful tooling.

The result is aider, which is a command-line tool that allows you to code with GPT-4 in the terminal. Ask GPT for features, improvements, or bug fixes and aider will directly apply the suggested changes to your source files. Each change is automatically committed to git with a descriptive commit message.

It helps to look at some chat transcripts, to get a sense of what it's like to actually code with GPT:

For heights I've commonly seen the 5th-percentile female and the 95th-percentile man being used to define a height range covering most of the population.
The Ivy Mike device (apart from the primary) didn't sound like it required huge precision - I'm sure "Dark Sun" refers to the radiation case being filled with expanded polystyrene held in place by copper nails hammered into place.
There may be more arguments besides the map.

Each object has 12 sides, so 12 holes. For hundreds of exemplars thats thousands of holes. The holes are described as having different sizes on the same dodecahedron. For being an object of mystery, one would assume a catalog of features to have been constructed, but I am not aware of any.

I believe they were used to test coin sizes (could be used by both scrapers and verifiers), see my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35946841

Such a hypothesis should be testable: catalog the hundreds of dodecahedra, one row per item, and 12 columns for the radii.

Collect all occurring thousands of radii and sort, and observe density peaks and compare age of item and coins of era with radii.
Most employment is from small businesses, by the numbers. Most small businesses are struggling-to-fragile at best as most fail. The "not paying for office space is a sizable plus" contingent alone would give a substantial number of WFH jobs Counterintuitively there are loads of jobs from the companies who are struggling.
What's also very unfortunate is overloading the term "alignment" with a different meaning, which generates a lot of confusion in AI conversations.

The "alignment" talked about here is just usual petty human bickering. How to make the AI not swear, not enable stupidity, not enable political wrongthing while promoting political rightthing, etc. Maybe important to us day-to-day, but mostly inconsequential.

Before LLMs and ChatGPT exploded in popularity and got everyone opining on them, "alignment" meant something else. It meant how to make an AI that doesn't talk us into letting it take over our infrastructure, or secretly bootstrap nanotechnology[0] to use for its own goals, which may include strip-mining the planet and disassembling humans. These kinds of things. Even lower on the doom-scale, it meant training an AI that wouldn't creatively misinterpret our ideas in ways that lead to death and suffering, simply because it wasn't able to correctly process or value these concepts and how they work for us.

There is some overlap between the two uses of this term, but it isn't that big. If anything, it's the attitudes that start to worry me. I'm all for open source and uncensored models at this point, but there's no clear boundary for when it stops being about "anyone should be able to use their car or knife like they see fit", and becomes "anyone should be able to use their vials of highly virulent pathogens[1] like they see fit".

----

[0] - The go-to example of Eliezer is AI hacking some funny Internet money, using it to mail-order some synthesized proteins from a few biotech labs, delivered to a poor schmuck who it'll pay for mixing together the contents of the random vials that came in the mail... bootstrapping a multi-step process that ends up with generic nanotech under control of the AI.

I used to be of two minds about this example - it both seemed totally plausible and pure sci-fi fever dream. Recent news of people successfully applying transformer models to protein synthesis tasks, with at least one recent case speculating the model is learning some hitherto unknown patterns of the problem space, much like LLMs are learning to understand concepts from natural language... well, all that makes me lean towards "totally plausible", as we might be close to an AI model that understands proteins much better than we do.

[1] - I've seen people compare strong AIs to off-the-shelf pocket nuclear weapons, but that's a bad take, IMO. Pocket off-the-shelf bioweapon is better, as it captures the indefinite range of spread an AI on the loose would have.
"No, that's SMP" - is perhaps too resolute a definition. I'd say SMP is across processes, SMT is within a process, which would put the distinction in software, not hardware architecture.

Definitions are more grey, muddy and dependent on context; in that line of thought, I feel the parent you're responding to is accurate enough to not warrant criticism or even downvotes.
Mental Health Apps Market Size at Around US$ 19.6B in 2030

The "adversarial style" is just an excuse for bad managers/companies.

If you can't tell that a worker is not producing because they are WFH then you are plain and simply incompetent. It's actually much easier to pretend to work in an office than it is at home in my experience.

Another very common excuse to use this "style" (I don't agree it's a stylistic choice at all) is to cover up the real cause that employees are not productive. These can be a ton of reasons including:

- hiring incompetent people

- not paying your employees what they're worth (often the cause for the first one)

- not letting them actually do their job (micromanagement, unnecessary bureaucracy, etc)

- not giving them challenging work

- inability to listen and change (employee's concerns are ignored)

It's not a style choice at all.
I have never seen a remote worker trying to push an office worker to work from home because it's more efficient. I have seen plenty of office workers trying to push remote workers into the office because of synergies and "water cooler chat". It's not the same thing.
>companies absolutely have an ethical responsibility about the programs, code and generated artifacts they release and what potential for abuse they have.

If companies should be beholden to some ethical standard for the generations, they should probably close up shop, because they're fundamentally nondeterministic. Language models, for example, only produce plausibilities. You'll never be able to take even something in its context and guarantee it'll spit out something that's "100% correct" in response to a query or question on that information.

>And on top of that, companies also have to account for the potential of intentional trolling campaigns.

Yeah, they surely should "account" for them. I'm sure the individual responsible for the generation can be prosecuted under already existing laws. It's not really about safety at that point, and realistically about the corporation avoiding AGs raiding their office every week because someone incited a riot.

Ultimately, the cat's out of the bag in this case, and anyone who has amassed enough data and is motivated enough doesn't have to go to some AI startup to do any of this.

But perhaps the issue is not generative AI at that point, but humanity. Generated images light up like a Christmas tree with Error Level Analysis, so it's not hard at all to "detect" them.
Well, they have the official "Institute for the Works of Religion"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_the_Works_of_R...

A proper bank, with historic ties to the Mafia.
Yeah that was a red flag takeaway for me from this thread. How much of the AI hype is someone trying to sell me on something they made or will profit from?
Can you sell more ads with AI?

100% Yes. We can (because people are going to ask how to do X in postgres and AI can reply how to do that in postgres with a side-note that this Sponsored product does it out of the box). however, can you sell more ads (by tagging them as "ads" or "Sponsored") - That is where the gray area shows up (IMO).

Obviously, this is still evolving but I guess something along that lines could be done, if one is too serious to monetize it. In my personal opinion, I think right now companies are focussed around capturing market than monetization.
shell_gpt is pretty neat just in terms of having ChatGPT up and running in your console very quickly, and being able to customize the role. Using ChatGPT in the shell has been a really good experiences, cutting down on the distractions of using a browser and google search results a lot. But I think there is space for an even better and more feature-complete shell application for ChatGPT.
Arguably the UK/NL isn't so great for individual solar production anyway. But there are still good options: buy from a on/offshore wind provider, hydro too.
> You say this like it’s a new and offensive idea when in fact this has been the norm for as long as paid workforce has been concept.

Because it is.

People used to write code on paper, later transfer that to punched cards, submit that for execution and wait days for results.

If you were asked to do something similar today (write code on paper and not have your own computer) you’d take it as crazy and offensive too.
The problem with ChatGPT / Bard which does this censoring, it is a path forward to ideological automated indoctrination. Ask Bard how many sex the dog species has (a placental mammal species) and it will give you BS about sex being a complex subject and purposely interjecting gender identity.

If you are confused, sex corresponds to your gametes, males produce or have the structure to produce small mobile gametes, females produce large immobile gametes.

Both Bard and ChatGPT don't interject gender identity when asking how many sexes a Ginkgo tree has. It answers two. Bard interjects about gender identity when asked about the dog species sex, but ChatGPT does not but it does confuse intersex with some type of third state.

Uncensored wizard just says 2 sexes, male and female. Simple and true. It does not add to it by interjecting about intersex .

Again to contrast with Bard: Bard when asked "How many arms does the human species have?" it responds "The human species has two arms. This is a biological fact that has been observed in all human populations throughout history. There are rare cases of people being born with more or less than two arms, but these cases are considered to be congenital defects." The majority, if not all cases, of intersex fall into the same category. However, it is ideologically for the moral Gnostic (Queer Theorists who deconstruct normality) to interpret these things differently.

So yes, I don't trust a single group of people to fine-tune these models. They have shown themselves untrustworthy.

This religion was formed when a person in the 1820's discovered golden plates with ancient Egyptian inscriptions (from ~ 2000 years ago) about 300 miles inland from the Atlantic in NY State. Absolutely no evidence that anyone from Egypt or the middle east was ever roaming around what is now upstate NY.

Mystified isn't a strong enough wording to describe how people aren't rationalizing many aspects of the world's religions with all we know today.

Dude, or ma’am, thank you for mentioning these obviously-sponsored tweets.

How do they guarantee hundreds or thousands of likes? Presumably the only reason the algorithm keeps showing them to me is that they’re popular. Otherwise they’d be labeled “sponsored”.

The points are always so bad, too. I asked Bard to summarize one of my repos, and it hallucinated that it was an http server written in Go. My repo didn’t have a single .go file. “Internet-connected AI” is just mistaken.

I believe it's fairly well understood that designing a theoretical atom bomb that probably works isn't "difficult", the difficulty is building it. The logistics, and procuring the materials, that's very very hard.

Also note, they did not cover refining the fissile material as part of their process, it was assumed that they had that. Arguably it's the refining that's by far the most difficult process.
It's funny, but I wish it was genuine bad UI and not just physics toys in the form of UI.
I don't think I can.

The pronunciation of "Gloucester" (gloster) and "Leicester" (lester) follow a similar scheme for the "-cester" bit which leads to "Worcester" being pronounced "wooster", but Worcestershire sauce is often pronounced "wooster sauce" which doesn't make much sense.

Apparently, Frome in Somerset is one of the hardest place names to pronounce in England, though it certainly doesn't compare to some Welsh towns. (I say it as "froom")

As someone who has spent a lot of time in various cultures, it's pretty much impossible to define a universal set of shared values across all cultures. I grew up in subculture that valued intellectual freedom and questioning everything. But we had certain things that we often said were universally wrong (sin) in all cultures, like murder and rape. On the surface this seems true. But then you start asking how something like murder is defined and you realize that cultures do not share specific ideas about this. Some say things like euthanasia and abortion are murder, others say that they're not. Some cultures say all information should be free, other cultures say you should censor information about things like building bombs, or making your own medicine or repairing your own devices. There is no universally agreed on standard that won't offend some culture somewhere.

You can legally give a dog or most animals pretty much anything so long as you remain in compliance with prevention of animal cruelty laws. You can get medication at a farmer's market or similar that'd be highly regulated for human consumption, so long as it is marked appropriately.
This is a key take away: anyone in office, seeking to be in office, seeking to introduce new laws can use demographically tuned models to test and revise communications about their intended behaviors for each demographic, crafting language that renders each demographic accepting of the idea, regardless of the idea itself. Oh, Pandora!
This is one of the most insightful books that I ever read.

Absolutely this. Google could develop an AI that's superior to GPT-4. They may have already. Under their current leadership, it wouldn't make a difference anyway as they wouldn't know what to do with it. Google is on a fast track to becoming Xerox.
I think you may be assuming a much larger overlap of shared values than actually exists.

This feels like a pretty modern view of the role of religion in society. For the majority of history I think it would barely be fair to consider a religion's de jure or ab initio "intent" from its de facto actions. Since it is the line to God (in the theistic traditions at least), it is always the most accurate source of its own intents, especially pre-Luther (and really, pre mass literacy).

I guess what I mean to say is I'm not sure any of those you listed had strong philosophical or textual convictions against the counterpoints you provide. And even if they did at given points, that's not enough to judge the overall shape into some particular direction of "corruption"

If anything, I assert that religion is as much reflective of the society it serves, as it is causal. It is one of the primary engines of "True Things" for people, but it also needs to react to new "True Things" from other sources, and integrates them, to provide a more powerful explanatory framework. With some consideration for its own foundational priors and axioms, but even those become malleable given enough social pressure.

So in that light how can we be surprised that modern American incarnations of "Christianity" embrace capitalism as the yardstick for Goodness?

Confirmation or denial wouldn't mean a thing, the real confirmation will come from either an insider leak (unlikely), a test (unlikely) or actual use (unlikely). So to all intents and purposes it is better if this is never resolved one way or the other, but the smart money is on Israel having between 80 and 100 warheads, with various bits of evidence to back that up. The bigger question in my opinion is what size those warheads are rather than whether they have them or not and whether or not any of them are H-Bombs rather than just fission devices. Other questions revolve around operational readiness.

Let's hope we'll never know for sure because I believe the most likely of those three unlikely possibilities is actual use. And that would be very bad news for the world indeed.
Yup! At least for me, I wanted ChatGPT to be native and keyboard-first :)

Do you know omega-3 fatty acids promote something called reverse cholesterol transport?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28984832/

I couldn’t take statins because of the side effects. I went on a fish only, no plant oil diet, and my LDL is now 200 and my HDL for the first time my life rose above 35 to 52. To me, the key was getting the omega-3 level way higher than the omega six level and totally eliminating short chain poly unsaturated fatty acids.

Note that I went on this diet, because I actually know my genetics. I don’t recommend anyone do the same thing without knowing what I know.

Diet works and it’s sad people can’t commit to it. And I’m afraid for a lot of people it won’t be the vegetarian diet that is normally prescribed.

Remember as well cholesterol is not the only contributors her heart disease. Oxidative stress plays a large role in damaging, or oxidizing, the LDL to cause the plaques.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2020.6137....

Oxidative stress can be caused by external forces, but also by the lack in proper nutrients, like zinc and B6 and riboflavin, deficiency in those supplements are all linked to greater incidence of heart disease.
