> as if that actually stops this thing from hallucinating bullshit all the time.

This has nothing to do with hallucinations though. It's about giving something a poorly specified problem and then complaining that it gives a valid answer but doesn't act like a particular persona when that persona was not explained. This is a very general problem with a general approach to fixing it. Want it to challenge you on what you're asking it to do? Tell it that.

Always funny to see SV people not understanding SV, thinking the rest of the world is underpaid.

SV is an planetary anomaly. Hundreds of billions (if not more) of capital free to invest in highly risky undertakings. That's why you earn 200K or more. An enormous surplus of capital with a high tolerance for failure.

That type of capital simply does not exist anywhere else in the world. And this only strengthens the SV effect, like a gravitational force.

Trust me, it's not because Europeans have more holidays. Companies simply cannot afford to pay these salaries anywhere in the world except in SV. Because they quite simply don't have these types of budgets.

To put things in perspective, if you'd travel around the world and call out the number 200-300K/year, people everywhere will assume you own a factory or are some other huge deal. They most certainly will not think of a microservice developer.

While I like the idea, the reasoning here is kinda silly, even if some developer had sworn such an oath it is entirely unclear how that should affect a AI. We just don't have good techniques to prevent llms from hallucinating.
I got an update on the support ticket. To try to deploy a new release and check if it works again. It worked for me.
The law is probably the opposite, incentivizing companies to block stuff as opposed to preventing them from doing so.

On the flip side, if it wasn't that way we'd be bombarded with knockoff stuff all over Amazon and others.

Check your "Emergency SOS" settings. For both "5 taps" and "hold power and volume" there is a setting to control whether they call emergency services.

If those are off then they just open the emergency screen. If those are on then they open the emergency screen and start a countdown to automatically call emergency services.

On my phone they are on, but I don't remember if I set them to that or they came that way.
i’d have to go back and double check my facts here, but i seem to remember border patrol agents going after protesters in Portland during the George Floyd protests and something to do with Portland being within this 100 mile zone.

Aside from emergent behavior, are any of the items on that list unique to AI? They sure don’t seem it; they’re either broadly applicable to a number of already-available technologies, or to any entity in charge or providing advice or making decisions. I dare say even emergent behavior falls under this as well, since people can develop their own new motives that others don’t understand. Their advisory doesn’t seem to amount to much more than “bad people can do bad things”, except now “people” is “AI”.

Difference is, those people invented art, they didn't copy it without understanding what it is.

Also, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion can draw shadows because humans figured out how to do it first.

Because humans are humans, and they eventually figured out how shadows work. They didn't need to be shown thousands of examples of correct shadows before learning how to do it.

Well, that tells you a lot about:

1. The people designing it (either optimists or looking for a quick exit).

2. The learning set they're using, which I believe is some kind of internet crawl of sorts? I imagine humanity, as a whole, bullshits its way through most of its life.
To the extent that this may be true (I've not exactly studied which public thinkpiece writers care about which AI so it might easily be the image generators that get this crown for all I know), that's because ChatGPT actually does something that a normal person understands.

A paper titled "Dual use of artificial-intelligence-powered drug discovery" (published last year) got a few angst pieces and is mostly forgotten by the general public and media so far as I can tell; but the people behind it both talked directly to regulators and other labs to help advise them how many other precursor chemicals were now potential threats, and also went onto the usual podcasts and other public forums to raise awareness of the risk to other AI researchers.

The story behind that was "ugh, they want us to think about risks… what if we ask it to find dangerous chemicals instead of safe ones? *overnight* oh no!"
I remember someone programming some visuals in vvvv for the first time I'd ever seen that at a hackerspace some years ago in Vancouver, BC which was in some sketchy alley where you hollered up at them and they lowered a key on a pulley. I think you might find some interest taking advantage of the fact that there's so much hardware and electronics around and learning something from them. There's a likelihood that there is someone in there who could use a hand with whatever they're doing in there on the software end too.

For what you're more closely describing I've found local programming meetups in a few major cities that happen at local bars and restaurants to be like that, mostly just people coming in and working on their projects (Either personal or together), maybe not on the same level as what you had in uni but definitely worth checking out too.

>So are you saying that socialism can only exist if it's imposed and maintained by the state?

I 'm not sure I understand the question? Socialism is a political philosophy on how the state should operate and what it should permit. It IS a description of the states behavior.

Democracy has nothing to do with it. You can have a socialist country with a king, or with direct democracy and no leader.

You can't have a socialist state without socialist laws and rules.
We should also stay skeptical of all the internet conspiracy theories too.

They don't go in the rubbish as they are completely recyclable
Sure; I'm calling that unreasonable, but not incorrect. The market determines what is profitable, not what is good. Ultimately if you want something good to persist, you must also ensure it is profitable (or find ways around the market -- subsidies), but it not the case that profitable things are inherently good, and it is not the case that things are inherently not good because they not profitable.

So I say it is unreasonable to hold onto something good in the face of lack of profitability, unwilling to change, but it does not say anything about whether they it was produced well for the audience they intended to serve (it is simply the case that their intended audience either does not exist, or does not exist in sufficient numbers to be profitable -- or it was poorly produced for the intended audience).

> This is gold buggery. Which means gold does a fine enough job.

It's really expensive to secure my own gold. I can't easily verify my own gold. I can't easily send my goal in under a minute to help my friends in Venezuela who's government has inflated his money supply by 5,000% and confiscate most of what sent physically or through the banking system. The USG also has a precedent for confiscating everyones gold. I can't take gold with me across a border in an undetectable manner. Sorry but gold is not doing a fine enough job for me and I'd like something a little more advanced and modern.

I understand for us privileged westerners (assumption about you on my part) that this all this seems a little silly, but for my family and friends in situations where their government is behaving really badly, this is serious. And "buy T bills or a house or the sp500" are not the solutions you think they are.

And I hope it doesn't come to the US but it seems a little silly if you are rich enough to not hedge against that possibility, especially given the US financial competency these last two decades.
Neck Posture Exercises
I don't think this is a fair argument. If we compare a GPT4 architecture with 5,000 parameters and a GPT4 architecture with 1 trillion parameters, should we judge the capabilities of both by the 5,000 parameter version, because they're both the same architecture?

There is more than architecture that can set them apart as well. GPT4 may have been trained by a slightly different algorithm, or on different data, and this can result in fundamentally different results.

Most of these conversations are not focused on one specific version, but are about the capabilities of LLMs in general, and it is implied we are talking about state-of-the-art LLMs, and GPT3 is no longer state-of-the-art.

President Trump certainly shouldn't have deputized CBP tactical teams to do internal law enforcement tasks inside cities, but it's worth pointing out that CBP's authority to conduct routine law enforcement under the same authority as, say, a local police officer is a much grayer area than this "100 mile Constitution free zone" stuff. CBP shouldn't be grabbing rioters or protesters or activists off the street at all, obviously, but if they're doing it based on the same probable cause a local police officer would be using for the same stop, they're not implicating the border search exception.
Well, have you? Obviously we're both discussing this here and not in an "AI art community" and your tone comes off as trolling at best both in this comment and your original comment. HN is about curiosity and it's prudent to test and try stuff before you bash around - in this case, the AI art tools empowers everybody, and it's for free as well so why not learn it (or not).
You're looking at this wrong. This is free advertising here if you get your etsy site back, and if you don't it doesn't really matter, eh? If you have so little faith that paying you for the item is time better spent than creating it theirselves or putting up a store to do it theirselves, then you don't really have anything worth protecting. If it is worth just paying you a few euros/dollars, then all you're doing it foregoing a bunch of free advertising while also keeping anyone from actually helping much.

My spouse uses Etsy as the primary way to sell goods. It's a crappy company with crappy policies for sellers, so I'm with you on that, but all you've done here is take much of the initial interest in your story and immediately route it to a dead end.
> I mean a small group of malicious humans can already bioengineer a deadly virus with CRISPR and open source tech without AI.

That's what interesting to me. People fearmongering about bioengineering and GMO's were generally dismissed as being anti-science and holding humankind back (or worse, that there opposition to progress meant they had blood on their hands). Yet many of the people who mocked them proved themselves to be even more dogmatic and apocalyptic, while being much closer to influencing regulations. And the technology they're fear-mongering about is even further from being able to harm people than biotech is. We are actually able to create harmful biotech today if we want; we don't know when we'll ever be able to create AGI, and if it would even pose a danger if we did.

This mentality - "there could be a slight chance research into this could eventually lead to apocalyptic technology, no I don't have any idea how but the danger is so great we need a lot of regulation" - would severely harm scientific growth if we applied it consistently. Of course everyone is going to say "the technology I'm afraid of is _actually_ dangerous, the technology they're afraid if isn't." But we honestly have no clue when we're talking about technology that we have no idea how to create at the moment.
I think it's okay to celebrate a small victory, but it's also important to remember that we're not done yet, and won't be for a while.
I'm not totally sure, but humans are better than our ancestors at basically every important job. It would be surprising if human brains were the pinnacle of computational power, and even if they were, digital brains could be run faster + copied.
The protocol is stateless, just as HTTP is stateless¹. This means that every request is handled independently. Pagination is like “please give me page one for the query ‘foo’” followed by “please give me page two for the query ‘foo’”—so if you lost your connection in the middle, you’re fine. By contrast, IMAP is stateful, and pagination can be more like “I’m starting a query ‘foo’, please give me the results” followed by “please give me the next page”, with the result that a dropped connection can leave you stranded high and dry, having to do everything over again if it’s even possible to. (In practice, now-widely-adopted extensions have been developed to avoid this happening. And really this whole paragraph is a simplification of reality.)

—⁂—

¹ Well, HTTP is stateless, but in the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 wire formats, the HPACK and QPACK header compression schemes use connection-level state. But developers talk in terms of HTTP requests, not HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 frames, so it’s OK and HTTP is still stateless.
You should probably tell the person who keeps information on their phone that could compromise most US major corporations to stop having that on their phone, or at least to stop traveling internationally with that phone.
This is nonsense. It's not a cop-out to say "use the latest, most capable model before complaining". Anyone remotely close to this field knows model size matters, amount of training data matters, quality of training data matters, and several other variables matter. Even if someone knows zero about it, just using 3.5 v 4 is enough to see they are two different things. Like a lizard v a human.
