I agree the lawyer shouldn't have trusted ChatGPT, but I'm not comfortable with the idea that the lawyer bears all the responsibility for using ChatGPT and Microsoft/OpenAI bear no responsibility for creating it.

"May occasionally generate incorrect information" is not a sufficient warning. Even Lexis-Nexis has a similar warning: "The accuracy, completeness, adequacy or currency of the Content is not warranted or guaranteed."

And in any case, it seems like you agree with me that the lawyer was incompetent rather than malicious.
Subsidies to state governments are inevitable while the federal government retains monetary authority, and uses it to create continual monetary inflation.

The idea that individual states could have fiscal responsibility and no funding from the feds would require that the federal reserve stop that fountain of new money. But the economic priests have decided that this must never happen, lest the plebs stop having to work as much.
Healthy people shouldn’t have an annual physical.

That is 100% the correct messaging. There is age related things that should be checked regularly but a healthy 22 year old doesn’t benefit from an annual physical. It’s not just a waste of money but also an unnecessary strain on the medical system.

Under the age of 50 and in good health, every 3 years is fine at 50 once a year. Data suggests even that may be excessive but it’s still better than every year.

Public Health == Police == Fire fighting. They all exist to protect the population. They are peers. That some how Public Health would occur outside of the government is truly odd. Would you be in favor of Fire Departments being left up to individuals?

He's talking about how some "alpha/sigma" male types fear that women are after their money and worry about that (that's what I understand the grandparent to mean by "mercantile fears"), but (surprisingly to him) they don't fear that they will affect their psyche/personality.

A paradox which I don't think exists in the real world, as these types, absolutely do fear women will do that (e.g. they fear that women would effeminate them, or make them docile, or p...whip them, and so on).
The brain structure / nervous system of cephalpods is quite different from vertebrate species I'm pretty sure. A lot of the similarities of the complexity/development are based on convergent evolution. So it's not as straightforward of a comparison. At least in this context.

> It was given a sequence of words and tasked with producing a subsequent sequence of words that satisfy with high probability the constraints of the model.

This is exactly the sort of behavior that produces many of the lies that humans tell everyday. The "constraints of the model" are synonymous with the constraints of a person's knowledge of the world (which is their model).

First, it’s because I noticed myself and others doing this through observation and intuition. Secondly, it’s because there are literally accounts and articles where these people say out loud what they’re doing. E.g The Tucker Carlson example wasn’t me just surmising something, I read it in an article where acquaintances literally said he held no outrageous views privately and was literally doing it to rile his audience up. Same for other Republican politicians who appear “rabid” and “crazy” in the Twittersphere to rile up their constituents, and then clock off work and behave completely normally, like flicking a switch. My impression is that the left thinks they’re morally superior for not supporting so called Republican crazies but they’re being played like a fiddle too, since they ALWAYS fall for this rage bait theatre and think that lambasting conservatives is actually constructive or achieves anything.

So I'm a public policy elite now? Sweet!

Those things you're talking about don't seem to have anything to do with the topic at hand though?

I agree re: many of the Covid policy decisions you mention at the end, but frankly given the options they had available I'm not sure I (or anyone) could have done anything different given the circumstances.
I have been tinkering with a personal VoIP system in my spare time over the last couple of months. At this point, I have rescued the 3 lines of house wiring in my 1970s house and connected them to Asterisk on a VM via a Cisco MC3810 and a Adit 600 channel bank. This has involved messing with T1s which was a childhood dream of mine. I have 12 phones connected to the system, using my house wiring, a few point-to-point wires, and some SIP VoIP phones over ethernet. In turn these connect to Phreaknet, C*NET, and of course the normal PSTN via a pair of different ITSPs. I now feel almost qualified to build an early 2000s business voice phone system, for what very little that is worth. More importantly, I have a rotary phone on my desk. ;)
It’s a low-level API. You’d typically use it under something like Aframe or Three.JS.

I would argue it is the government’s job to ensure there is room in our hospitals.
But I would never get screened or do blood work if it weren't for my annual checkup.

Your annual physical is where those things happen, or get scheduled.

That's what baffles me about this article. My annual checkup is pretty much the only time I ever see my doctor at all.

There was a case here in New Zealand where the "not for profit" insurance company "Southern Cross" was owned by a group of doctors.

You can see how something that might not be in the insurance company's best interest could be in owners best interest, particularly if they own the hospital too.
Part of it is that the rest of the country is being told that Texas (and Florida) are economic miracles, so their influence could extend beyond their borders.

> If you go to ChatGPT and just ask it, you’ll get the equivalent of asking Reddit: a decent chance of someone writing you some fan-fiction, or providing plausible bullshit for the lulz.

I disagree. A layman can’t troll someone from the industry let alone a subject matter expert but ChatGPT can. It knows all the right shibboleths, appears to have the domain knowledge, then gets you in your weak spot: individual plausible facts that just aren’t true. Reddit trolls generally troll “noobs” asking entry-level questions or other readers. It’s like understanding why trolls like that exist on Reddit but not StackOverflow. And why SO has a hard ban on AI-generated answers: because the existing controls to defend against that kind of trash answer rely on sniff tests that ChatGPT passes handily until put to actual scrutiny.
These are different and called “preventative screening” and usually not done at a physical. Your GP isn’t going to do a colonoscopy or do a skin check. The article is taking issue with the standard physical, which for heathy people is mostly a few questions to ask if you feel alright and some routine blood tests.
I have to click through a warning on ChatGPT on every session, and every new chat comes primed with a large set of warnings about how it might make things up and please verify everything.

It's not that there aren't enough disclaimers. It just turns out plastering warnings and disclaimers everywhere doesn't make people act smarter.
It went way beyond that intent. Not keeping up with inflation is a complete “fuck you” to everyone else who has to pay their fair share.

It has nothing to do with speculators. There are people with multi million dollar homes in the Bay Area paying a few thousand a year in taxes because they bought in during the 70s.

If they don’t want to pay the property taxes for the actual value, all of the profit from their home sale should go to the government as back payment for their societal delinquency. You can’t both claim that you’re just “being protected from speculators” while reaping the benefit of when you sell.

Finally, most of the buyers in the Bay Area are not speculators. They are regular people looking for homes and prop 13 is fucking them by making them shoulder the majority of the tax burden. When one of my coworkers paid property taxes on his home in Sunnyvale for the first time, he paid more than the rest of the block combined despite all of the houses having roughly the same value.

Complete insanity.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. You like your social safety net? You like stronger worker protection? Long vacations? Someone has to pay for all of it. Either through higher taxes or lower wages.
The downside of this kind of strategy is that for an engineer to work on it, they need to be proficient in iOS, Android, and zig/c/c++. It’s somewhat uncommon to have engineers known just iOS and Android, let alone a 3rd language / stack.

Another issue is maintenance and debugging - even something trivial like not being able to set breakpoints in the shared code can be a significant slowdown to an engineer. Not to mention the extra wrapping layers your native code needs to smooth out the interactions between the shared and native layers.

For sure there are settings where it makes sense to take this approach, especially if code is shared across more than two platforms. But just for iOS and Android I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a more efficient solution.

Working on such shared code is also pretty stressful. In a pure native codebase I can simply make the change and test it, but with shared code I have to worry about consequences across many platforms - did I just fix something on one platform only to introduce an issue on another?
"The law is code" falls apart as soon as you have to take judges into account.
IMHO, like many brand new technologies, the I hype is overhyped, but will still reduce to many useful things when the dust will have settled down.

Just like we had no free ambient electricity in 1890, no flying cars in 1950, and not talking robots in 1980, we still have a very robust electricity network, a car per household, and automated assembly lines.
Every generation is subtly (or not) fucked up, near as I can tell.

But most old folks I know were explicitly NOT visiting folks, not because of policies, but because they didn't want to die.

And some I know that did anyway did in fact die - and their family has to deal with knowing they infected them and caused them to die. Which also causes some serious head fucking up.
The only incorrect part of that is that it played an important role in his winning the election. But that part isn't necessary for the whole thing to be very bad, in my view.

Every time you are a jerk to someone, criticise someone, belittle someone, disrespect someone or attack someone, they like you less.

Relationships have a "bank account of good will", and each incident/negative interaction withdraws from the account.

Positive interactions contribute goodwill to the account.

Negative interactions withdraw at many times the rate that positive interactions contribute.

It's very easy to destroy a relationship - you can do it in minutes or seconds. It's very hard to build something positive, very very hard to rebuild damage.
I actually agree more with this comment more than after my initial read. You suggest some valid concerns about innovation that regulation could address.

I guess the part I’m unsure about is the assertion about the dissimilarity to Photoshop, or if the marketing is the issue at hand. (E.g. did Adobe do a more appropriate job marketing with respect to conveying that their software is designed for the editing, but not doctoring, or falsifying facts?)
Why not list your startup on one of those "sell your startup" sites and separate it from your personal employment? Maybe someone will throw you a few dollars.
By all means then, if you're an expert then why didn't you tell us about the disease when it got started? Think of all the lives you, personally, could've saved if you shared your expert knowledge. Knowledge that no one else in the entire world knew about apparently as the disease transitioned to a pandemic.

I assume that at least one health authority on this planet would've been prepared and know exactly how to respond, according to your expertise.

No? They are literally your authentication. They are time limited, but still pretty private.

Done well, they have an audience set for what they authenticate. Which can limit the exposure back to the issuer. But you are supposed to trust that holding the token means you know who the user is.

Right?
You want one API that will work on all devices. Take this demo:

https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/sky/

On a VR headset you can just crane your neck and look around. On a phone or tablet it will use the accelerometer and let you use the device as a window on the virtual reality. On desktop you can use the mouse to scroll around.
An alternative to Google Play Store for Android users who want to access the normal app ecosystem without running Google Play Services or other Google binaries on their phones. It violates Google's TOS.
Depends on the context. JWTs are very often used as a type of session token. So if your token is public, it might allow someone to act on your behalf for whatever service you're using.

So while users are allowed to read the token and its contents, you don't want user-identifying tokens to fall in the hands of someone else.

You might be thinking of a public key.
I find odd enjoyment in observing how one arm of the government is pushing for quantum surveillance abilities while another is urging everyone to quickly adopt PQC.
I've never fallen asleep while watching 2001. It's definitely slow, but riveting for me, because (like Tarkovsky's film) there's a lot of meaning in the scenes, and they give me a lot to think about.

SARS case fatality rate was 14-15% (roughly).

[https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/sars/estimates-sars-death-rates-r...]

During the first year of the pandemic, figuring out much of anything except that bodies were piling up faster than they could be managed in all the cities was extremely difficult, and there was a lot of clear political manipulation of the numbers everywhere, so trust was... thin. To put it mildly.

COVID was clearly not as bad as SARS, but it was also clearly not the Flu.

So what was the correct policy exactly?
That's a good start. I think it needs to be embedded in the output.

It is no less transparent than google search in the end.

You are right. This is a war google has lost.

I wonder if we can have a adversarial process that can do better in the AI domain than google can do it in the domain they use for search?

Can we run search through vicuna making it less or more biased?

I think at lower layers, embeddings vs search network they are probably similar.
The spike in labor costs is part of the issue, for sure. But that explains one or two years, rather than the continual 20-30% increases I've seen for a bunch of years in a row.

> It’s data driven.

Good.

> You get tested every few years

Not always good. Many screening tests just increase unnecessary procedure except in very specific situations. Eg MRI screening generates a ton on unnecessary biopsies and associated complications, stress.

The data says when screening is appropriate, so as you say, use the data.
The problem is that the model doesn't know if anything it's saying is true or false, so trying to make it 'fact check' just means it will constantly interrupt itself regardless of the accuracy of the output.
I work at at a large health insurance company, though not involved in decision-making around annual exams or rate-setting so take that as you will.

A lot the decision-making we do is around trying to improve the health outcomes for large populations of members at scale. When dealing with millions of members, interventions that require lots of effort and time are hard to scale up. If the data shows members with annual checkups have better health outcomes on average than members without annual checkups, that is something that's relatively cheap and easy to do with potentially significant impact.

There are other benefits to annual checkups as well - catching an expensive condition early can be the difference between a $100,000 episode of care vs. a $10,000 episode of care.

To be honest internally I've noticed the tide is shifting on annual checkups. Physician time is limited and every slot is valuable. I believe we're currently exploring virtual care options as a better alternative.
Abductive reasoning aside, people are already anthropomorphizing GPT enough without bringing in a loaded word like "lying" which implies intent.

1) sounds like intent is present there?

2) "the camera cannot lie" - cameras have no intent?

I feel like I'm missing something from those definitions that you're trying to show me? I don't see how they support your implication that one can ignore intent when identifying a lie. (It would help if you cited the source you're using.)

I'd recommend looking into the "swiss cheese" model of risk reduction. The idea being that each method of prevention has holes in different locations, but combining some or all will be better at stopping infection than each on their own.

https://www.coxhealth.com/newsroom/preventing-covid-19-using...

as a forever covid die-hard, in my ideal world I'd like to see:

better mask education - the US did an absolutely awful job at recognizing that all masks are not created equal, specifically that cloth and surgical masks are not as effective as KN95 or N95 masks

free mask distribution - not everyone can afford to purchase new, high quality masks for regular use.

free covid testing - if we're not giving people free access to testing, then how can anyone make a proper risk assessment of current covid levels?

mask mandates - this does not have to be legally enforced by any means, but a mandate would show folks that masks are encouraged and needed at this time. Some people wearing masks is better than no one.

indoor air testing/filtration improvement - for everyone who can't or won't wear masks, having minimum air quality levels for large indoor spaces/events would also help cut down on transmission.

there's probably some more here i'm forgetting, but my point being is that an individual doesn't have to do everything here for us to decrease transmission of covid, nor do we have to shut down society to have that same effect.

No. This checks public GitHub commits that contain secret credentials; in 2022, over 33% were specific to known APIs, such as AWS access keys or MongoDB credentials, while the remaining 67% were deemed "generic." According to the report, generic ones include secrets such as "a company email and a password that would end up hard-coded in a file."

It's not scanning developer support tickets to see when devs hand over credentials to specific individuals.
