LunAI: Making a Multi-User ChatGPT as an April Fools Joke
A lot of those companies have already set up their own instance of OpenAI's models running on Azure. I'm not involved with this directly, but it is my understanding that Microsoft are selling (and pricing) this aggressively.
That kind of frontier attitude "if we need more land we'll just build a longer road into the desert" won't fly anywhere within a thousand kilometers from where that bike path roof is built.
Regarding the previous legislation which led to the wrongful arrest of protestors, a number of human rights organisations issued warnings about it before it was passed.

In fact, the UK category of the UN news feed makes for pretty embarassing reading in general, speaking as a Brit:

I have no idea what you’re trying to say, but I’m pretty sure you’re misunderstanding something.
The tool currently generates CSS where the font sizes are assigned in descending order to h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 tags. However, this approach may lead users to mistakenly assign the h1 tag to the largest heading, rather than the most significant one. According to W3C accessibility criteria, HTML offers six levels of headings, with h1 being the most important and h6 the least important. It's crucial to adhere to these guidelines for optimal accessibility.
They almost certainly don't want to set the precedent of caving in to a sub-national jurisdiction's bills when they don't even have any business operations in that jurisdiction.

Because then every state, province territory, etc., in the world will have an excuse. Since there are App Store users everywhere.

No, these are words that are enforced by law. As much as Microsoft might want to take a peak, it would be financially ruinous
It could be a great introduction to the metaverse. Imagine adding the interior spaces by making the doors and windows openable. Then allow for more and more interactions. A lot could be done by algorithms (image recognition, etc.), but I think a lot of users would be interested in "building this new world". Adding procedurally generated spaces through portals would be a great next step. We are not far away from being able to "create a castle described by X in Y mixing painting style of Z and sculpture style of Ź". Maybe transforming between these styles and others in time.
It's curious why nobody is selling these systems yet
‘Eternal’ Guantanamo prisoner tells of decades of US torture
One problem is that the owner of the land, the owner of the building, and the developer are generally separate and distinct. In my experience the vast majority of property owners - especially those with the wherewithal to own prime CBD real estate - tend to be quite happy to sit on unproductive land for a very long time. If any of these buildings get razed, my guess is that many landowners would rather turn it into a parking lot for half a decade than let a developer turn it into something cookie cutter.

That would be very dangerous for OpenAI to agree to: high risk of it all getting leaked.

I can't think of any enterprise software you might run on premises that has leaking incentives anywhere near as high.
Exactly. All it takes is one clueless employee to use that data lake by mistake while training. The thing with these models is you can't untrain just 3% of the input, you have to start from the beginning

Abolish it.
We build cities based on peoples desires not some intrinsic need to separate jobs from homes, but that’s irrelevant here.

Both public transport and cars can both serve low density suburban commuters as demonstration by many cities around the world. America doesn’t lack public transportation because of it’s size, population density, layout etc, it’s simply people choosing driving consistently in how they vote, where they move, and what they do when given the option.

NYC doesn’t have good public transportation because New Yorkers are different, they have it because it’s the only option that scales.
Seems like it would've been trivially easy to sabotage such efforts, too. Circumstances like that make honest error harder to catch.
Yes, but that's my point. A large number of companies uses analytics data to provide better service and products without any sinister motives.
Just a bug I noticed: the lowest two sizes (0.64rem and 0.512rem) displayed on the settings panel, are not part of the outputted CSS.
That was always required for sybil attacks. But if the long-term benefit exceeds the cost of membership, it will be paid. Think of a conqueror renting an army for a small bit of time to go pillage and gain very long term control of a village.

I am in a good position to speak about this since I designed decentralized social platforms like https://qbix.com and smart contract platforms like https://intercoin.app that build coins for communities.

If anyone can make an account, your community has unlimited cost dealing with it. It could be a sleeper account acting like a human, until one day the cost starts getting imposed in the form of, say, coordinated swarm vandalism:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiality_and_Othe...

But it could be a LOT more subtle and plant the seeds to move opinion of a forum gradually towards anything you want, including simply accepting and upvoting articles from your domains where your bots create content.

If you just mint a coin and give it out for basic tasks, people will take advantage of that by creating many accounts. You have to start asking people to appear in person to get a certificate at least — which is what Sam Altman’s Worldcoin is about. But you don’t need to go that far, every community can just have in-person get togethers once in a while to say hi to each other (“shocker!”)

I foresee a lot of people starting to retreat to gated communities. The thing is that anyone can invite a bot in. If you give everyone N invites, and the people they invite N invites, they’ll eventually use them tk invite N to the power X people. And those people might be real, but eventually may run a bot once in a while. You may think that’s not likely but actually it has already has been happening, people loove to run automation on their own behalf, and have no idea what it does, exposing themselves to compromises and attacks at scale:

packages in package managers
NYC landlords pricing apps
wall street trading bots

I wrote about it here: https://magarshak.com/blog/?p=385

But as I say, the real trouble begins when people start to prefer bots. They choose convenience over security and truth. Bots won’t have resistance to an agenda and a lie like humans will.

I guess our only hope is to dilute the bot swarms with opposing bot swarms, like Bitcoin miners competing kind of. But at that point the entire internet will be a DARK FOREST.

OpenAI ain’t desperate for cash. It is a pure strategy position. If they wanted another 10bil they’d have to hire a bouncer for the queue. It is like the idealized wet dream startup.

I agree. I'm disappointed in particular by Labour's approach to this too.

Similarly they (Labour) are not taking a strong enough position on honestly recognising the state of Brexit because they don't want to alienate their potential pro-brexit voters, nor are they taking a strong stand on a number of other policies which I think they should be.

The conservatives have lurched so far right that I can't help but feel that Labour is having to move in that direction too just to have a fighting chance of winning the next election. But this makes them not an effective enough opposition at the moment. Their strategy is clearly working - see uptick in pro-brexit votes in recent local elections - but I'm not sure at what cost...

So overall, personally, I'm just extremely disillusioned with all political parties right now. We have to recognise that we brought this on ourselves, collectively - such is the nature of democracy - but that doesn't help alleviate my current sense of despair!
A barf of SEO and missed expectations of a search engine in 2023.
The AI inference/training market is so competitive that I doubt enterprise sales is going to be the problem. A company planning on spending $50M training a model is not going to be convinced by some smooth talking sales guy over a golf game. They will look at the actual price/performance.

to add to this, even the car production is a source of a lot of pollution. The best car to use is the one that you don't own.

Efficient public transportation + shared cars services/rental cars can help a lot with that for people who can't leverage using a bicycle or prefer not to during bad weather.

Why Do We Listen to Sad Songs?
I'm a long time StackOverflow user.

A few days ago I had some confusion about how to use a React Native library and docs were also not super-clear for me.

Asked StackOverflow. Then I said "let's see what happens if I copy paste the exact same question into GPT-4", and did it.

Had my answer in 30 seconds, which explained the issue very well and worked. A few hours later I got an answer on SO too telling almost exactly the same, which was right.

Anectodal for sure, but ChatGPT and similar tools will keep evolving faster and will become only better.

Not surprising to see decline in SO. But I believe there will be an equilibrium as LLMs will need that training data too.

>Regardless, you may find that the right of the mother to bodily autonomy outweighs the right of the fetus to life, but not everyone will weigh the situation the same.

Of course, in particular people who believe woman are not proper humans. And it just so happens that this is the view of Catholic Church.

>Some argue that the temporary albeit serious inconvenience to the mother

I don't think this line requires any comment.

>The funny thing is that each side seems to think this

Again, same as with any other fallacy, like flat earth.

>if you cannot understand the other side's arguments, that is a weakness of your own mental model

If you cannot understand flat earther's arguments, that's a weakness of your own mental model? :)

FWIW, I do understand those arguments. It's just that I also understand they are stupid and evil - because they flow from ideology which is stupid and evil.
And this gets into why companies are banning it, at least for the time being; developers and especially junior developers in general think nothing of uploading the sum total contents of the internal code base to the AI if it gets them a better answer. It isn't just what it can do right this very second that has companies worried.

It isn't even about the AI itself; the problem is uploading your code base or whatever other IP anywhere not approved. If mere corporate policy seems like a fuddy-duddy reason to be concerned, there's a lot of regulations in a lot of various places too, and up to this point while employees had to be educated to some extent, there wasn't this attractive nuisance sitting out there on the internet asking to be fed swathes of data with the promise of making your job easier, so it was generally not an issue. Now there is this text box just begging to be loaded with customer medical data, or your internal finance reports, or random data that happen to have information the GDPR requires special treatment for even if that wasn't what the employee "meant" to use it for. You can break a lot of laws very quickly with this textbox.

(I mean, when it comes down to it, the companies have every motivation for you to go ahead and proactively do all the work to figure out how to replace your job with ChatGPT or a similar technology. They're not banning it out of fear or something.)
I'm fully aware my initial metaphor was a bit forced and it doesn't quite match 1:1 to the original point, but using AIs while at your workplace is the ideal usage they're trying to sell here.

It still gives me a "Do as I say, not as I do" vibe, and reinforces the idea that AI tech is being used merely as a trojan horse to capture and monopolize previously inaccessible markets for the companies building and training the models.
What's really helping is that scooters/mopeds are increasingly electric, and some of the people that used to ride noisy scooters now ride e-bikes. The sooner we get rid of those fuming noise buckets, the better.
> where you think the water will go, if not to other places on earth

I afraid that a lot of fresh water is going to become an ocean water. Flooding theory creates the impression of transferring fresh water from one place to another where it will remain just as fresh. It is incredibly hard to create a fresh water from salty one.
It'd be like not getting along with myself.
> (One bright spot of this whole situation: There was something of a panic when the news first came out around YouTube uploads disappearing from the internet, but YouTube creator liaison Rene Ritchie later clarified in a tweet that Google accounts that had uploaded YouTube videos in the past would not be affected at this time.)

Let's be honest. No one cares about abandoned Google Doc links. Those were never intended to be massively shared like a typical web page, and folks can trivially copy them. Also, when a company stops paying Google for the suite, they would go away already.

The only public content folks really care about that originates from Google at this point is YouTube, which will be unaffected.
But trees are a subset of graphs, so it’s probably is possible, right?

That would not necessarily ban AI generated content, only bad storytelling.
I'm not an accountant, and I don't know how the Pentagon approaches depreciation schedules, but most examples I've seen in general descriptions have annualized rates much higher than inflation.

I think if we forced companies to count commuting time as work time, up to say 1hr each way, the problem would soon resolve itself.

Right now there is no alignment of interests to ensure commutes are easier and faster for everyone, it is always a "somebody else's problem" for the people that actually drive decision making. Applying this rule would have companies crying out for more efficient and regular transit options, etc.

Indeed, but on GNU dd you can send SIGUSR1 to do the same as what SIGINFO would do on BSD.

Downside of SIGUSR is that it will kill the process if there's no handler, rather than ignoring it, so "just try it" is always risky.

> From the air Tokyo literally just looks like a sort of denser LA

I love aerial photos of megacities like this. But I would say "a sort of denser LA" is understating it a little; each of the small buildings in the Tokyo aerial that are too tiny to make out are probably 5-6 stories at least.

Whereas, an aerial of LA (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Los_Ange...) shows that very quickly out of the downtown area, the small buildings are in fact single-story single family homes.
