Perhaps in some quarters. In our polarized times, cultivating fear is an easy and effective way to motivate "your side," and the use of fear is not limited to any particular faction. The country is full of people who have pretty irrational and unrealistic and exaggerated fears of what will happen if the "other side" wins.

And the evidence is right there in the quote "Dr Doug Stein" appears to be from Florida. Abortion isn't banned there, it's just recently been severely restricted very recently. If his patents are coming into his clinic incorrectly thinking abortion is currently banned (implied by "outlawed next"), I doubt those people are going to be able to make reasonable predictions about what will happen politically in the future.

I disagree since GPUs are a major constraint currently and that skilled specialists outperform GPT-4 almost always as long as they stay in their domain.

Germany seems like they just do what involves the most policing. If it's going after companies for privacy invasions, they do it. If it's going after individuals for infringing on copyright, they do it.

Can you provide an actual example? I see it come up a lot in these conversations, but I'm really skeptical that anyone actually does this analysis. It seems like rate analysis (either requests or bandwidth) would achieve the same result in a far simpler manner, so I suspect that is what actually happens.
With the added wrinkle that you're out at sea and right now for the Falcon 9 SpaceX loads fuel after loading the people because they use super cooled fuels so they're denser. For Falcon 9 this is only 35 minutes before launch but Starship requires much more fuel so if they needed to follow that pattern they'd have to wait quite a while on the pad waiting for sufficient fuel to load for whatever trip too. (Plus do you have people in suits for this? Survivability of your passengers would point to yes so you've got to deal with all that or having some extremely fast abort to a survivable altitude)
It's mostly them dancing on "see ISRO launches satellites for so much more less cost!". Like PPP, labor and material costs being much expensive in the US are not factors that exist.

Oh, I'm absolutely aware of that, I was just curious if there was literally anything they could point to that could, if viewed at through significantly rose-colored lenses, be seen as support for their statement. Like maybe (given my previous experience with Hindu nationalists) some passage in the Vedas that was interpreted to mean ancient Hindus were actually a spacefaring race or something.

While I use RSS for many things, I find Reddit's RSS feeds rather useless due to the large volume of posts, even on moderately small subreddits. If there is some way to limit it to just the top posts of the day I would consider using it, but AFAIK it's all or nothing.
But there is a clear line of reasoning? AI has to be made with some kind of goal. Most goals don’t line up with humanity’s interests, and the AI will pursue them to the extreme as it’s designed for optimise aggressively for it. AI is easier to improve than biology, so once it gets good enough it will exponentially improve itself, as that allows it to achieve its goal better. Most solutions to this problem don’t actually work, we’ve yet to find a good one. It seems extremely short sighted to never consider any future situations that aren’t currently happening but seem likely to: https://xkcd.com/2278/

There is a good real world example of how optimising for a goal aggressively can make the world unliveable for some species, which is humans destroying the environment for our economic growth. But at least there we do care about it and are trying to change it, because, among other reasons, we need the environment to survive ourselves. An AI wouldn’t necessarily need that, so it would treat us more like we treat bacteria or something, only keeping us around if necessary or if we don’t get in the way (and we will get in the way)

It might sound silly but there is some solid reasoning behind it
Why not let users bring their own keys? I wouldn't mind paying $2-3 to use Apollo. Apollo has to also pay 30% of their revenue to Apple so their subscription fee will be way higher and not feasible for most users.

The asteroid hasn't hit the Earth yet, so what are you worried about?

The reason people talk about x-risk from AI before the world-ending AI is developed, is because after the world-ending AI is developed we won't be around to talk about it.

Yes, and my yearning was for examples in which the domain objects are complex systems or machines themselves.

To your point, if the domain is a payment system, I can keep separate db's of Customer Info, Customer Purchases, Transaction Instances, Customer payment methods, etc. This seems like a domain suitable for functional code.

If the domain is a two stage orbital rocket, in which we must have a stateful system that has internal feedback loops (fuel consumption, vehicle trim, time of flight, time before stage separation, engine sensor data), our best software design is an object graph which causes spaghetti code ( does the navigation system belong to the electrical system, or the radio system? Wait, does the radio system belong to the electrical system? Wait, does the entire electrical system belong to the solid fuel system, since the electrical system is dependent on the generators partially, but what about the battery system? What critical components stay on the battery system if the generators are shut down?). I guess my point is, real life is a spaghetti relationship.

Consider the recent ISpace probe crash. The article says "software bug" but in reality it's more of a 'design flaw' and I would bet it's exactly because of the topic of this thread. The sensors were reading correct data, but the design/validation of the intercommunication data between sensors was designed wrong.

I mean for Reddit that is "abuse of the report button". It's a very tame comment compared to a lot of what's posted and considered acceptable. What did you expect or think should have been the outcome of reporting that?
old.reddit.com will be phased within 1 year. i.reddit.com went out this year and old.reddit.com will go out too, guaranteed.
I blocked the reddit.com domain from all of my devices a few weeks ago, because until recently I didn't feel like I could keep my finger on the pulse of "The Internet" without Reddit.

That's no longer the case. Google's "For You" gets me my niche subject-specific content, Google News/Memeorandum (and its sibling sites)/Apple News gives me the mainstream media perspectives, HN (and maybe Bluesky occasionally) my urge to discuss and engage with others, and YouTube Shorts (I refuse to install TikTok) helps me understand Internet culture.

I don't think any one company came for Reddit on their own, but what they've left Reddit with as a differentiator are the communities. Unfortunately, those end up existing as little fiefdoms for the moderators who run them, and if that's all you're going to offer, you're not going to be able to justify that $10-$15bn (probably lower now) valuation to investors.

iirc, they got MediaTek as a wafer customer last year sometime, but of the two big customers they announced early on - Qualcomm and AWS - the former has apparently backed away, and I haven't heard anything about the latter. I'm pulling for them, if for no other reason than having some more industry diversity and physical distance from China. But I haven't heard tons of good news.
The API chat endpoint dramatically changes its responses every few weeks. You can spend hours crafting a prompt and then a week later the responses to that same prompt can become borderline useless.

Writing against the ChatGPT API is like working against an API that breaks every other week with completely undocumented changes.
I purposefully leave that vague.
Interesting, but (to me at least) the point of photography will always be the technical process behind it, and capturing a _specific_ aspect of the environment. This will turn out fine generic images, but if you want to capture more, that's not something you can just synthesise.

Eh? Piracy is a strong political act.
This is a story practically as old as the internet at this point. Grow with open API and third party client ecosystem, but ultimately shut the hatches and revert to single in-house client stacks to maximize control of the user experience and advertising opportunities. Mainly the 2nd part.

To look to the Twitter example, even when I used a third party Twitter client before Elon came onboard, old Twitter were regularly playing silly games with issuing auth tokens to third party clients, for all of the same reasons.

At this stage I view third party clients as nice to have for major free web service APIs, with the expectation one day it will probably stop working. Reddit doesn't owe anyone a public API, as much as I will miss third party clients (big Narwhal user here).
this is indeed a very helpful way of putting it, thank you

I think that is normally a good rule of thumb, especially when first party has a track record of accomplishment. It's one that I embrace. I am trying to stick with the original editor and find it increasingly hard as all of the design elements are now requiring Gutenberg. To be clear, I am not advocating for another page builder over Gutenberg, just not embracing Gutenberg because it embeds semantic elements in comments and if and when I need to migrate off of WordPress I don't want to be stuck. I have been using WordPress for 18 years, which is a long time for any technology platform. I don't have plans to migrate but I don't want to foreclose any options.

Credit history, social media footprint, payment history, etc. Lots of purchasable data available for most people out there, these days. Someone could easily write a prompt today like:

"""Here is a person's power usage history:

{{ power usage by month }}

Here is their bill payment history: amount, date bill sent, date bill due, date payment received, if any:

{{ history }}

Here is their credit history for the last five years:

{{ credit history }}

Here is the location of their home and some overall information about the grid:

{{ grid info }}

Please give me a strategy for maximizing profit from this customer, options include "disconnection", "encourage them to use power at different times", "encourage them to buy solar", "move them to variable usage-based billing".

"""

Power companies in most places are probably too regulated to get too sneaky, but I'm sure there's shady stuff that could be done, especially if you can similarly tailor the marketing to each user e.g. "we want this person to get solar since the grid going towards them is near its max capacity and we don't want to invest in upgrading it, tailor the messaging towards them based on their credit history and social media profiles."

If you imagine a less regulated industry there's even more room for price discrimination and such.

The issues, I think, are at least three-fold:

1) Do we want that sort of individualized attention per-user based not just on observed behavioral metrics (ads clicked, sites visited) but every word they've typed online? too?

2) Who is responsible if this model then makes decisions that harm people? The people who trained it? The people who used it? The CEO? It's a wonderful tool for bureaucracy to avoid there having to be a "decision maker" and just have people follow what the tool says to do.

3) And just the practical: the model also is going to spit stuff out, but is it really going to be "optimal" for something closer to a maximization exercise vs just text generation? Possibly not, but I've seen people try stuff like this anyway.

Yes, and that’s absurd. You can be a nurse or a teacher and make almost as much with exponentially more headaches and responsibilities. Or you can just work odd jobs for a few months then take unemployment allowance and go to Thailand. That’s why the inflation is growing like hell, and why it’s so hard to get good service when you need it, and everyone who does anything even remotely relevant is so stressed and burning out. These outdated and spurious socialist concepts are absolutely atrocious.
At the risk of sounding snarky, https://chat.openai.com would be a good introduction, followed by books, which GPT could recommend.

What evidence do you have that a majority of these users are not already using the first party app?
How do you see this as scapegoating? The headline specifically says "intensifies", the article very clearly positions AI-fabricated data as an extension of existing problems, and I don't see anything in the article downplaying those existing problems (the entire closing section is about how the summit was on issues broader than AI).
Yet this is in your original post?

The egg shortage was massively overblown. It was mostly an excuse for distributors to price gouge for a few months.
I love the idea. But do be aware that the high-quality software engineering like this will require has a cost: be prepared for basic science costs to scale appropriately (or for productivity to be reduced.) More to the point, not all science can be usefully verified by unit tests. Even machine-verified mathematical proofs are entirely dependent on the definitions being correct, and that requires expert human analysis.
Perhaps history will show that "Open" is not an adjective but a command, as in opening the AI box.
The day I can't use Apollo to browse Reddit is the day I ditch it entirely. It's mostly just a toilet scroller for me anyways.
Most projects are funded by a patchwork of different sources, not all of which would agree to the same terms of release of the information, but all of which are required sufficiently fund its creation. Not to mention maintaining ongoing storage and accessibility. single source government grants for scientific research are the exception, not the rule.
I'm curious if you see this argument as consistent with the narrative that the AI companies are just seeking regulatory capture.

It seems to me they're inconsistent ways of understanding what is happening, since concern about misuse also seems to me to imply regulation. But I seem to see a lot of people on HN who say both things who give the impression that they're agreeing with each other.
You must be joking? By your argument I should drink and drive because the probability of ending up in a wheelchair is very low, cars being so safe.

Suppose this condition came about by a disease. Suppose transmission rates were 2%. Would you have unprotected sex with someone on a 2% chance of getting this condition? Assume that it was guaranteed the girl was otherwise without infection and not fertile.
We're very happy to help debug that sort of thing in the Zulip development community: https://zulip.com/development-community/. Unfortunately, basically no modern team chat product provides satisfactory documentation of their data export format (E.g. Rocket.Chat is just a MongoDB database dump). I don't blame them -- all the data of your instance is a pretty complex thing to document, tends to change often, and doesn't get a ton of use to motivate investing hundreds of hours into writing and maintaining good documentation for it.

But it does mean the quality of import tools is limited by how many people have run it and reported all the issues they ran into so that we can fix them. It is not uncommon for our data import tools to need to work around things that are essentially data corruption in the original database.

Our Rocket.Chat import tool was indeed improved greatly in 6.0 last November thanks to a user with a very large and old Rocket.Chat instance submitting a very helpful pull request last Fall, so you may have better luck if you try again now.

I didn't know Zulip was acquired by Dropbox! Thanks for the info.

It's interesting to imagine a timeline where Dropbox becomes a leading business/collaboration tool, similar to GSuite or MS Office. It seems like they had many of the right pieces, between storage, paper, zulip... If they had added email and calendar plus potentially their own presentation and spreadsheet tools they could be have been a contender instead of relegated to pretty just storage at this point.
You can do it in many (all?) of the EU, I think, since the ID card can be used to produce a cryptographic signature.

It's not a GPG signature, but that would be an easy ramp to GPG signatures.

These days though I think GPG is of dubious utility, you could just as well use your ID to sign stuff and stop at that.
Every few years we rediscover centralization even if they start off as open-source community driven yada yada and the eventually lead to walled gardens.
