One of the biggest issues in our history, was to call the middle ages "Dark ages" and what came next "Renaissance". Thomas Aquinas, Boethius were such great writers, for instance, among many others[1], they contested their faith and believes all the time.

I believe the larger line of valid questions stem from the SEC. There are rules around organizations being required to disclose investments when they have over $X in assets under management.

So the SEC did what it does to hedge funds for failing to disclose, slaps them on the wrist with some fine less than 1%.
I have to go in 1x/week and this is a good summary.
Well I guess that latter point is my real question - what would happen if you took one of the diagrams and the associated descriptions from something like "Dark Sun" and simply built it - what would happen?
"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs." -Banksy

So true, I cannot believe how modern society has become so censorious. Being able to explore every area of life in graphic fictional detail, is part of being human, it's necessary intellectual freedom for us to grow as individuals, into better people. Because that way we confront the gremlins inside of us.
Yes Monte Carlo is cool
I read through the full article and the cognitive leaps the author makes are too big for me to follow.

It’s like listening to a mad scientist connect totally unrelated (seemingly) events.

E.g., I don’t at all understand the linkage between current events and the schism between the Catholic Church and Protestants denoms.

Maybe I’m just too dumb to follow this much brilliance.
This is not surprising, given the recent waves, that corporate goons will try to reverse the steam on this subject.
Then there’s the crossover market, like naughty code completion or fantasy knowledge inference.

Design in Practice
I don't buy it.

The crucial detail to buy the story is that Jim Frank told Dobson and Selden the truth:

They were pulled aside by a senior researcher, Jim Frank. "Jim said, 'I bet you guys want to know how it turned out,'" Dobson recalls. "We said yes. And he told us that if it had been constructed, it would have made a pretty impressive bang." How impressive, they wanted to know. "On the same order of magnitude as Hiroshima," Frank replied.

The way the project was described to work, information was going only one way (from students to researchers) with the flow the other way on a strict need-to-know basis (where need-to-know means need to know in order to deliver the results). Once the students delivered the results, there was absolutely no need for them to know if their design was successful or not. It is incredibly naive to think this was not classified.

There are now a number of options: 1. Frank disclosed classified information, 2. Frank told them some bullshit, following some instructions, 3. Frank didn't tell them anything, and Dobson and Seldon were instructed what to say if anyone asks them, 4. the whole episode is come corrupted memory: maybe Frank gave them a nice pat on the back and decades later Dobson remembered a much more impressive congratulations, just like hunters remember they shot a bigger game than they did.

From all these options I find the first one the most unlikely. By far.

Well an assistant is traditionally the one who eventually replaces the master, so that notion is not conceptually wrong.

Do people still think there will be any humans left alive in a few hundred years? We've gone as far as we could as biological constructs, switching to a more adaptable architecture is just the next step forward. Our bodies are overfitted for living on this one specific planet which is greatly limiting the real goal of life: to expand to new areas and replicate.
>People who are afraid of unaligned AI aren't afraid that it will be impolite.

People who are not afraid of it being impolite are afraid of science fiction stories about intelligence explosions and singularities. That's not a real thing. Not anymore than turning the solar system into paperclips.

The "figurehead", if you want to call him that, is saying that everyone is going to die. That we need to ban GPUs. That only "responsible" companies, if that, should have them. We should also airstrike datacenters, apparently. But you're free to disown the MIRI.

Thanks for sharing the strategies.

Time management is crucial for efficiency. Time, an invaluable resource beyond our control, should be utilized wisely. Gaining a visual representation of time allocation is vital, as it enables us to identify areas where time is being spent and determine if preventive measures are needed to enhance efficiency.

There are a lot of free web tool like hub spot, time doctor, www.clockdiary.com etc that helps achieving it.

This is a popular talking point but it feels ahistorical to me. Was Ralph Nader really working for General Motors all along when he called for more regulation?
While that's true, there are also limitations and gotchas of Web based UIs that make state management very complex and messy. There are layouts that you _cannot_ express (with HTML/CSS/JS) without intermediate rendering steps and the whole paradigm of separating state and representation (React etc.) falls apart very quickly.

And before anyone asks: Yes, this comes up surprisingly often. Yes, alternatives have always been explored first. Yes, I'm up to date with browser capabilities. No, you can't say "no" to these designs when you're hired specifically because you can make things work.

Well this "highly illegal content" is yet another attempt by the state to police our creativity. It is a thought crime. It's the 21st Century, we should not be conducting moral witch hunts in this day and age. That rightfully belongs in the past.

Maybe if we distribute the material it should be illegal then. But otherwise it's not the state's right to police what art we are creating in our own homes, period.

Thankfully, because it's run locally and not on the cloud, there is little the government can do about it, so it's very hard to enforce.

> I don't understand the difference between stoicism and experiential avoidance.

I agree with you that I see a lot of people using stoicism as experiential avoidance, but there is a difference between experiential avoidance and healthy stoicism.

Healthy stoicism recognizes that many (perhaps even most) unpleasant experiences are quite survivable and that feeling poorly is no inherent reason to panic.

To use an example with physical 'emotions': Stoicism recognizes that standing outside without a jacket in the mid 50s (F) might be uncomfortable but that's it. You're not going to die. You're not going to have any lasting damage. You just have to deal with being uncomfortable. Another example is that I have MS and find standing in one place to be quite uncomfortable but it doesn't cause any permanent harm - therefore instead of freaking out when I'm uncomfortable the answer is to ask myself 'do I want/need whatever thing I'm in line for?' and if the answer is 'yes' then I'm going to experience some discomfort and that's okay because humans have evolved over millions of years to experience some discomfort and as long as the discomfort stays at the 'not dangerous' level it's fine. Keep an eye on it but proceed.

It's also in being able to practice this skill so you can tell the difference between discomfort (warning) and acute danger signals. The more familiar you are with your body's reactions to chill, the easier it is for you to sense when that danger line is crossed and frostbite might set in or your body temperature is dropping perilously. The more I practice being uncomfortable, the more I can tell the difference between 'this thing is harder for me than an able-bodied person but I can do it if necessary' and 'this is not right/something is wrong and I need to disengage'.

> I am not sure how a person would have values without emotions.

Social values can be managed in my experience, but personal ones are hard. I had a very firm idea of what the social contract should look like (so like me with no emotions still followed the rules of the road and returned my carts to the corral) but next to zero personal direction. So I had the value that education is important and a society with an educated populace functions better, but no ability to decide what I should learn next. Emotions help you add nuance to your values so they're something other than principles that you get angry when other people transgress.

It seems like some kind of transparent federal oversight is desperately needed. As you say any kind of change will be interpreted incredibly negatively, so any local approach will be suppressed.
There is a different between having a different opinion, and rubbing it in your face when nobody asked for it. This is more about relevant social behavior, which is important for a job, than the rights someone has outside their job.
There is very little that is illegal to write down (with or without AI help) in most jurisdictions. Even things like threats, the crime is in the communication, not in writing the text. I can write down "Person X, I'm going to kill you dead" in my notebook as much as I want, as long as I don't communicate to anyone (i.e. threaten anyone, as opposed to writing down a threat in my personal papers).

I'm very curious what text a personally owned and operated network could generate that would be unambiguously illegal in a liberal democracy.
In 2021 there were "only" one billion iPhone users[1]. By the time, Apple was the most valuable company in the world, and it still is today. So I'll say 2B is a very arbitrary and unrealistic number.

over the years i've trained some anxiety out of my rescue dog by saying "okay i'll be back" every time i leave home without him. even just to take out the trash or get the mail.

he now knows that it means to not get up and start pacing anxiously to go with me or to try to follow me out the door. usually he just goes in his easychair (it's turned into his doggie daybed, basically) or lays down in the sunlight. my guest bath is also his little cave, since it's usually dark and the floor is cool. i've seen him on camera just hang out in these spots until i get back.

paired with the standard issue "let's go for a walk" or "let's go outside" it seems to really communicate what exactly is going on so he isn't confused. i've also added "peepee?" to ask if he wants to pee without making him think we're going for a long walk. this also works with food related words ... it's still kind of crazy to me he actually knows what i'm saying and will react according to what he actually wants at the moment. i just have to cycle through the words.

> Google is an advertising business. Can you sell more ads with AI? I would say no.

Oh, you optimist!

It's ALWAYS about incentives. Aka money.

Companies will use AI to squeeze garbage (aka ads) in every nook and cranny of the observable universe now. Think of all the thankless tasks that required a human to do them until now.

Guess what? Now that AI can do them 100000x faster and probably 2-5x better.

Our lives are about to be flooded by a stream of -pardon my French-, adshit.
Once these big tech companies get really big and famous like Facebook and Google and stuff, they go awry in their hiring and management and business culture.. they start focusing on ideology, political ideology and censorship and so forth,.....and at that point they have all sorts of excess employees that do nothing but say write papers about political ideology and so forth.. that is when the software starts to go buggy.. Facebook is real buggy now much bugger than it used to be... As an example once Elon musk took over Twitter he fired like 80% of the employees and it works better than ever now

Facebook isn't who censored adafruit. Obviously you realize 'hate speech' isn't true at all, yet here we are.

34 minutes long, so near impossible to figure out what exactly is the objectionable material but you clearly hit a US government list. They for some reason don't want you to publish this video.

What some people do is cut down this video into 11 videos and then post them 1 at a time and see which one the US government doesn't want you to publish.
This has been shown to be false, ChatGPT typically refuses questions about certain groups of people more than others. See [1] as an example.

This is correct, except that the two "management styles" presented are the two extremes of a spectrum.

Apart from that, WFH does make management a lot more painful and tedious from a practical perspective. Things that a team could discuss and resolve over a coffee break now need to be pushed through tedious official communications, and their resolution is at the mercy of how long each person in the chain takes to receive each message, acknowledge it, follow up on feedback, make changes, clarify, finalize...

Maybe instead of setting arbitrary broad-brush WFH policies, just divide every role within WHF-able and non-WFH-able baskets under each business head.

You don't get it! Only big companies can make safe cars cheaply, so it was all a big ploy against small car manufacturers.

It occurred to me (not recently) and maybe painfully obvious to others that pharmaceutical advertising on TV isn't really for the consumer. The whole "ask your Dr if this medication is right for you" is such a weird trope because that's not how prescription medication is supposed to be marketed.

Large advertising spends have pilfered a tremendous amount of pharmaceutical influence in mainstream media. So much so that much of the salary of mainstream news personalities is funded by drug companies. It has become exceptionally difficult to criticize or challenge drug companies on major tv and print outlets.
>Yeah I was trying to figure out how good it was in Korean. The cadence and flow was pretty good but there was kind of artifacts in the audio. Then I check the samples of the default audio prompts for Korean any my god, they were godawful. Switching it up made a world of difference.

I have a decent amount really clear Korean voices BTW. That and French, from people asking on Discord. But I can't judge the accents only that they are clear speakers.

Korean was interestingly the lone somewhat-coherent one-shot long term music sample I ever managed to get out of Bark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pV9d25KqCE

The second music bit in this Youtube was one continuous generation where the last prompt was used as the history for the next, with no cherry picking or assembling the clips, just one solid segment. And it sort of holds together for like almost a minute!

I was excited because I thought maybe Bark could be like a real-time OpenAI Jukebox. But that was literally the only time so far where using a full-feedback held together like that. You can kind of 'cheat' it to by using a very popular song as the input text, and sometimes Bark will produce the appropriate melody. But of course that's not really the point of using your own text. I have some ideas for making it more coherent, but nothing easy. Too bad, Jukebox is just SO SLOW.

Actually with what I know now I should re-render this and clean up the distortion. At the time I couldn't do it. Though I only have the first segment prompt.

I have a decent amount really clear Korean voices BTW. But I can't judge the accents, only that they are clear.
