Strangely there is a total lack of discussion of objective rules.

Focusing on a license rather than laws will just mean you need to be a large company that can afford to buy their way in or buy off lobbyists.

I believe that in the next few years, there is real risk of humanity losing control to widely deployed AIs that "think" 500+ times faster than humans. This is barely even speculation given the history of performance gains in computing and the fact that we are now optimizing a very specific application.

The ones that are designed/instructed to seek control and/or pursue their own goals will be an issue. They should outlaw that, but the only effective mitigation will be prohibiting production of hardware that allows these extreme superhuman levels of intelligence.

That should be the primary concern for lawmakers. That, and something like Universal Basic Income and a robot tax or something.

When governments are ineffective or overreaching in the wrong ways, it boosts corporatism which is just as bad.
Has anybody confirmed this is real?
If the proposal implies "stopping independent research", in a way yes, it will hardly end with chants of "Oh well".
What part of the process prompted you to do that? TurboTax asking you if you want to itemize or not?

That's pretty much the extent most Americans think about itemization as it stands, and whether it comes from a tax software or the government, the result is going to be the same.
This is the same thing as where people fail to distinguish the First Amendment from free speech as a principle.

If we are talking about law, you are right - the US limits on religious groups getting involved in politics are in the tax code, not in the establishment clause. If they are willing to give up their taxation privileges, they are allowed to participate in politics as much as they like. And, since the tax code is just a statute, Congress could change it to allow them to meddle in politics without losing those tax privileges, and I doubt such a tax law change would be held to violate the establishment clause.

However, “separation of church and state” is also an extralegal principle. And, maybe, too much involvement of religions in politics violates that extralegal principle even when it doesn’t violate the letter of the law.
Berlin population only grew by ~250k people ... since 1990, and back then Berlin was basically depopulated

ok, fair point. so berlin does have other options. but the rent problem is not only in berlin, and other cities don't have that space. and nevertheless i stand by the claim that even if more rental units are going to be built in that space, rent prices will not go down without any additional effort.

a good example of doing it better is vienna. somewhat similar to berlin, population was shrinking until the turn of the century. down to 1.5 million. then suddenly in the last 20 years it grew back to 2 million. faster than berlin. vienna government itself is building new housing (a program that started 100 years ago). and infrastructure with jobs to go with it. 25% of people in vienna live in government owned and subsidized housing. (apparently berlin has something similar, but it is privately owned with a government mandate)

Once that area is sufficiently developed

ignoring the option to work remote, if an area doesn't have jobs close enough to easily reach by public transport i am not going to move there, no matter how attractive the rent.
But the number and type of fundamental mistakes it makes (C maj. and F# maj. triads sharing a common tone??) are just not ones I can imagine a human with basic understanding of music theory making, which does point to some fundamental lack of ability to have any real understanding of what it's talking about.

That's the law in my state here in the States as well. The pedestrian has the absolute right-of-way in the crosswalk and you are to stop for a pedestrian waiting to enter the crosswalk.

Various manufacturers have been listed, but there are actually several different companies building them currently:

- Stern Pinball (sternpinball.com) - Great, modern themes, biggest manufacturer. Recently released The Mandalorian, Godzilla, Foo Fighters, etc. Easiest by far to find to play and / or purchase via distributors.

- Jersey Jack Pinball (jerseyjackpinball.com) - Tend to be more collector quality machines. Recently released Guns n' Roses (developed with Slash), Toy Story 4, and the Godfather.

- Spooky Pinball (spookypinball.com) - Initially home brew pinball, built into much larger company. Releases include things like Rick & Morty, Halloween, Ultraman, and Scooby Doo.

- Chicago Gaming Company (chicago-gaming.com) - Involved in many things, but from a pinball standpoint, mostly have made remakes of popular 90's games with more modern hardware (Medieval Madness, Attack From Mars, Monster Bash, Cactus Canyon).

- Multimorphic (multimorphic.com) - Advanced pinball system, designed to allow changing of games in the cabinet (ie partial playfield swaps). Large screen built into playfield, ball tracking, etc. Games have been mostly original themes.

There are other smaller manufacturers as well (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pinball_manufacturer...) that have made games of various types.

Typically each manufacturer will release a given title, at typically 2-3 "trim" levels (ie, Stern calls these Pro / Premium / LE, Jersey Jack has called them Standard Edition, Limited Edition, Collectors Edition). Price and features go up with the trim level.
US charges former Apple engineer with attempt to steal self-driving car tech
Being a self-appointed expert goes a long way if you're willing to work the character. A combination of information overload and a tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt - especially if there is (as yet) little competition for whatever niche you're trying to occupy. people are predisposed (and media people almost pathologically so) to assume benign or benevolent intent in the absence of better (or any alternate) sources of truth.

To wit: I'm cofounder and senior researcher at The Center For Decentralization. We have business cards, phone numbers, offered a free consultation service to budding decentralists who were interested in shaping public policy, a social media presence, the whole deal. For a little while we even sent representatives to Congressional meetings and had an office in DC. I have no official credentials in this area. And I'm also the only co-founder, because a decentralist mustbtake care to avoid any language that makes it sound like you're the center of the thing you're trying to decentralize. Which, naturally and inescapably, you are.

I started TCFD as a parody to point out the fundamental paradoxes arising when one affects to be sponsoring or causing decentralization to happen, whether as an individual or a group of individuals. I thought the joke would be obvious to anyone the moment they saw our business card or heard the name, but was rather astounded to to discover that about half of the people I introduced myself to as "senior researcher, primus inter pares" completely took it seriously.

I don't see a need for the law to specify a time. You have to stop and you proceed as soon as you have the right of way and it is safe to do so.

Oh yeah. And labeling it as an "AI" further obfuscates it. But apart from small gestures catered to people whose work is very "unique" / identifiable, no one else will get a kickback. They only need to kick the ball further for a couple more years and then it'll become a non-issue as linkrot takes over. Or maybe they use non-public domain stuff, maybe they have secret deals with publishers.

Heck, sometimes even google doesn't pay people for introducing new languages to their translation thingy.

Glad that they are changing the name now and that they succeeded in spite of the name, that's long overdue. However I think it shouldn't be limited to just paying customers (which I am). Forcing free users into having an awkward domain name is bad for converting free users into paying ones since they'll be less likely to try it out.

There is more than one usage described in that article.

This is the relevant one in this particular thread:

> Among American conservatives, woke has come to be used primarily as an insult.[4][29][42] Members of the Republican Party have been increasingly using the term to criticize members of the Democratic Party,
Does anyone know what the previous policy was?
From what I understand OpenAI has been moving away from “open” with various decisions over the time. Proposing that only selected folks can build AI seems like the antithesis of openness?
This whole discussion highlights my original point. We're talking nonsense.

> This process is an act of mystification; you separate the meaning from the direct examples, and push it into a layer of linguistic abstraction.

What does this even mean? What is "an act of mystification?" What does it mean to "push something into a layer of linguistic abstraction?" And who the hell is Quine and what does a web have to do with anything?

Anyway, it's great fun! I just wish we were sitting in comfy chairs with a drink...

With that said, back to the fun. I think you're suffering from binary thinking. In the event that two people want the same thing there are many options available. And even more stories that could be spun to justify them. "It's only just that..." or "I came first" or "We've always done it that way".

If we take the absolute worst case: zero sum, fleeing isn't an option, then it's a fight to the death. We all know this to be the case intuitively -- no mysticism involved. Fight or flight is deeply embedded inside us. Again, my dogs aren't confused by this dilemma. This is part of living authentically.

I think society survives and flourishes when it keeps such cases to a minimum. It's why things such as a the rule of law, democracy, human rights, and so forth have arisen.

Thanks for this thought provoking discussion! Sadly my lunch break is over~
I'm not following this "good ideas must come from an ideologically pure source" thing.

KDE is indeed very good. I tried adopting it in the past multiple times then reverting, but with the latest version is so much better than the others.
Unless you are applying a very complex calculation to each frame, I'm not sure this is a win. With most filters, the parallelism of the GPU isn't going to overcome the traffic of shoveling uncompressed rasters back-and forth to the GPU over the PCIe bus (i.e. 500-2000MB/s PCIe vs 1600-3200MB/s DDR4).
Even with the device's passcode though, AFAIK you can't just re-assign the phone to your own AppleID without the previous owner AppleID releasing it.

I must be the only user that like the gnome defaults then.

Only thing I need to configure is focus over mouse (no extension needed) and I like to have the top bar transparent (extension needed but I can live without it, it is cosmetic and I haven't installed it on all my machines).
I like the idea, but when I am searching for something in the documentation, paper docs are much slower than Ctrl+F not to mention that it's right there on the screen. If there is any reference I need on hand constantly, I just print that.
My experience is the opposite. Nearly every Rust tool I've used offers static binaries for various platforms.
Why compatibility? Or inertia for that matter? Switching DEs in Linux is generally as easy as installing a package and switching the DE at login, and you can use any app compiled for a certain toolkit in any other DE. The default choice is usually done for either pragmatic or preferential reasons (Developer preference, easy of upstream collaboration, flexibility, stability, bug fix schedule)
Having a bunker is also consistent with expecting that there's a good chance of apocalypse but working to stop it.
My point still stands regardless. Rule systems are more than just their printed texts.
This is a diversion from the real problem. Regulating AI is really about regulating corporate behavior. What's needed is regulation along these lines:

* Automated systems should not be permitted to make adverse decisions against individuals. This is already law in the EU, although it's not clear if it is enforced. This is the big one. Any company using AI to make decisions which affect external parties in any way must not be allowed to require any waiver of the right to sue, participate in class actions, or have the case heard by a jury. Those clauses companies like to put in EULAs would become invalid as soon as an AI is involved anywhere.

* All marketing content must be signed by a responsible party. AI systems increase the amount of new content generated for marketing purposes substantially. This is already required in the US, but weakly enforced. Both spam and "influencers" tend to violate this. The problem isn't AI, but AI makes it worse, because it's cheaper than troll farms, and writes better.

* Anonymous political speech may have to go. That's a First Amendment right in the US, but it's not unlimited. You should be able to say anything you're willing to sign.[1] This is, again, the troll farm problem, and, again, AIs make it worse.

That's probably enough to deal with the immediate problems.

Disappointed, but I’ll have to learn to adapt! My hydration levels were way too low the last time I tried. (Any joke you find in there is probably true about my experiences haha).
Have you used the OpenAI embeddings AI? It is used to find closely related pieces of text. You could split the target text into sentences or even words and run it through that. That'll be 5x cheaper (per token) than gpt-3.5-turbo and might be faster too, especially if you submit each word in parallel (asynchronously! Ask GPT for the code). The rate limits are per-token.

Not sure if it's suitable for your use-case on its own, but it could at least work as a pre-filtering step if your costs are high.

(The asynchronous speedup trick works for gpt-3 too of course.)

That's right; but note that the minister they select depends on what's being discussed. There isn't really a "Council of Ministers" you could list the names of; it changes for each meeting.

That is, the C of M is really a council of member governments. And what government wouldn't like to have the EU mandate maximum surveillance, so when their citizens complain, they can just blame the EU?

I think we have way too different ways to look at the world when you see things like this.

I support a livable minimum wage that doesn't require multiple full time jobs or state support if you're employed to have a simple but dignified life. We should agree on that and can leave the rest for a different dance.
Seaweed has salt. I you put salt in a soil you will ruin it for agriculture. In the first years there are a few salt tolerant vegetables that you can still culture. After a while the accumulated salt will be just too much even for asparagus.

Compost can help. I don't know how much that would scale in any case.

Is true that we can produce some fertilizers chemically, but we need to invest huge amounts of energy for this; After Wikipedia >1% of all the energy that we humans use in the planet is spent just to make ammonia, and many of this is used to make urea. If I'm not wrong we need also natural gas to feed the process, so this energy came basically from non renewables. Is part of the solution but not a miracle cure.
I thought I was pretty knowledgeable in music theory but I'd not heard of the H transformation. I'm a bit nonplussed as to why it's even a thing, and indeed Google doesn't even find any hits in the first page describing it that I can see.

>Smart people are exceptionally good at over-justifying, over-explaining, over-rationalizing.

What's that based on? Couldn't it be the other way round? Or simply untrue? Overthink by definition is suboptimal which doesn't sound very smart. If intelligence is defined in any way to include problem solving, a smart person should be able to solve the problem of finding the right amount of thinking to do on a particular topic, no?

I really hope this doesn't happen. Configurable driving behaviors might make sense to a degree, but this feels dangerous. I would hope that the Department of Transportation (or equivalent in other countries) would regulate such things.
Just to be sure, you know you're not supposed to eat them, right?

I hope you're referring to the strangely popular misinformation that claims fossil fuels are a necessary component of fertilizer, which they aren't.

But if they were, it would be yet another good reason not to burn them to generate electricity when we have alternatives that are cheaper and cleaner.

I'm confused. English is not my native language but did I imply anywhere "like a human being"?

I was reasonig about the distance between machine and humans in their driving capabilities. It is clear that there us a gap in favor of humans and the gap is narrowing. Moreso, in the future there will be a surpassing.
I don't get the contradiction you see.
What specific ideas has Altman proposed that you disagree with? And where has he said AI could hack its way out of a laboratory?

I agree with being skeptical of proposals from those with vested interests, but are you just arguing against what you imagine Altman will say, or did I miss some important news?
You can derail any discussion by asking for definitions. Human languages is magical in the sense that we can't rigorously define anything (try "Love", "Excitement", "Emancipation" or anything else, really) yet we still seem to be able to have meaningful discussions.

So just because we can't define it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
