Westworld aired in 2016, Nolan's other TV show also featuring an AI world takeover plot is a little bit older still. If I had to count the amount of mainstream movie, video-game and television media that feature rogue AIs especially since the turn of the century I'd need a very long document. Hell go back a few more decades, WarGames, the Forbin Project. The literal term 'AI' wasn't as ubiquitous but threats from runaway automation are arguably mainstream for over half a century.

AI fears have been a cultural anxiety for a long time now and in many ways they're just a rehashed, secular version of Golem myths anyway.
Not every company has a staging environment...
We know exactly what it does. However, how it actually works we haven't the faintest.
The fact remains is web platforms are in every way at the mercy of Google to be reachable to their clients. Chrome (which your clients most definitely will be using) has full power to decide if your website is malicious, but you don't even know the criteria of their decision, and so, have little-to-no knowledge on how to adjust your website to pass the criteria again. I have seen web development platforms being blocked out of use for weeks; because some scammers use their service to build their scamming site, causing the whole domain to be marked as spam.

However there are still two ways to look at this:
The defeatists will say that the open web of the old is now fubar, there is no point in building websites now because whatever you do you are at the whim of BigTechs to dictate the term of your website.

I try to keep more optimistic viewpoint. We can see that this is more or less the standard behavior of any antivirus measure, and your browser/antivirus service is tasked with an impossible job of deciding if the data it renders is benign or malicious, and whatever heuristic/criteria it comes up with is going to be leaky and cannot cover every edge cases. Platform should structure their system so that your components are localized, so it will be less susceptible to those kind of outage. Of the top of my mind, what step you should be taking:
- Separation of domains between for your own assets/web and what the clients upload. A CDN, online bucket may help you here.
- If you are doing a website builder, try to enforce the client to bring their domain to publish. Your default domain should be for evaluation purpose only.

It's hard world out there, sympathy to OP for being in this shitty position.
You can run a UniFi hardware controller through a plugin on OPNsense. Worked pretty well minus mongoDB conflicts with zenarmor. But I switched to omada APs because they had better range and speed.
That's what they must mean as well, because otherwise a VPN could never help

I would be curious about concrete examples in Europe, though
I think this is romanticizing the past a bit.

I'd hesitate to call it real power as well. You could not just go against someone of let's say senatorial class or god forbid, the Emperor himself, without substantial (military) backing and/or being an untouchable demi-god yourself.

Today you can take the government itself to court and actually win.

There is to my knowledge no historical precedent for the amount of practical power the common citizenry has over the powerful classes today.
The book also points out that it is much more than just 'drink', and 'drink' would by no means cover 99% of the way it is used in the book.

That said, I've only ever read the full unabridged re-issue from the mid-90s, it's possible the earlier, edited, releases had many of the uses elided.
"but in theory it will reload the page after the timeout" - does any browser actually implement this?
Cool that almost all security research is now done using RISC-V, including this paper where the most experienced guy appears to be the one working at Arm (he was at gatech, like the others, before but has been at Arm research for six years).

You can certainly pick which approach to use based on your wider goals, sure. Sometimes though changes are a matter of style, or something is easier to show rather than tell, or you realize whilst reviewing the requirements weren't quite right (on you) etc.

For example, if a junior isn't familiar enough with the standard library and misses a trick, you can try to explain in words what the better way is, or you can just fix it and then ask them to study the diff. I don't know what's better for long term learning, but at least you have the option.
And it fundamentally ignores that the market is likely totally incomputable in both the short and long term.

Well, you wrote: "Chlorine is edible too. So is arsenic, bug spray...".

So we have direct evidence that GPT-4 has more common sense than you.
I think this is a good casual introduction to the marketplace dynamics of how ML will impact the market. I do, however, disagree as I feel that this version of things is a bit too sterile, theoretical, and 'academic', and assumes a more open-information set of competitive strategies among potentially ideal agents from a game theoretic perspective. We can see this is absolutely not the case 'in real life'. To blatantly poke a bit of a (potential) hole in one of his examples -- Exxon-Mobil is one of the clearest examples of the monopolization-blobbification of power that I'd contend _does_ cause the very phenomenon that he's defending against.

An updated version: There will be a log-normally distributed set of winners and losers from the exponential effects of ML and 'AI', and the flatness of this curve will be almost entirely solely determined by the governance of the various countries in the world over different economic and/or informational policies. Other than that, the information asymmetry is going to make it a power-bloodbath as we go through our informational-industrial revolution.

While I'm here, while I think Hotz does contribute a lot of good to the field, though I do have a bit of an actual minor personal beef with him. He said he was going to reimplement https://github.com/tysam-code/hlb-CIFAR10 in tinygrad, bashed a few parts of the code (my feelings!) for a while on stream, and then gave up a few hours later because of the empirical speed/occupancy numbers. >:( I want my fast reimplementation, George. Just do it.
The oversight is that they developed and tested it on Linux, created the file on Linux as well, but used it on Solaris, using an operating system tool to enter the password that had different behaviour on Solaris (stripping anything beyond 8 characters in length because... nobody needs long passwords, right?).

It still happens today though, and subtle differences between computers or e.g. CPU architectures can and will still occur. It's really difficult or cost prohibitive to set up a DTAP or similar where every step is production-like; I can imagine it's similarly complex on modern day distributed systems / microservices.

Included in life-style factors is also that people are eating more meat than ever before.
While meat itself isn't unhealthy, some ways of cooking and curing meat do introduce well-known cancer risks.

Some common plastics are also known cancer risks — if you heat them up or dissolve them, and inhale the fumes.
Personally, I believe my hobby with synthetic resins and styrene (using solvent-based "glue") is what could have caused the B-cell lymphoma that I am suffering from.

I say "cancer risks" because it is not either/or: It is about probabilities. Cancer mutations actually happen often in the body, and the immune system is constantly fighting them. It is when the immune system loses that you "get cancer".

There is a limit to compression of human-relevant information which is largely what intelligence is.

The main thing I am talking about is speed of output. You can already see huge increases in say old GPT-3.5 versus GPT-3.5-turbo or old GPT-4 to new.

We know for a fact that the hardware inference speed can be increased by using faster (currently prohibitively expensive) memory or by packing more onto a chip. There are design for new memory-based computing paradigms.

It's already clear that AI is superintelligent in certain domains or aspects. Such as the ability to exchange information with other agents.

Computer hardware efficiency has relentlessly increased. It would be a total break with history if it suddenly stopped.

E = hf

You can measure the energy of one photo using this equation.

Microwaves at 2.45 Ghz = 1.6243499999999998e-24 eV

Gamma radiation at 3 x 10(19) Hz = 1.9889999999999998e-14 eV

So about 10(10) more energy per gamma ray photo or about 10 billion times more energy.
I was scratching my head why I'd want addons at all (running DNS66 on the phone, so no need for an adblocker.) but this is honestly a great idea. God how I hate the cookie banners.
Yes it seems to be missing the rendering code. game.h defines a generic list of imported function pointers which have no implementation in the repo.
One option would be to have an x86 to x86 compiler that automatically fixed your code. In principle you don't need access to source and it could be shipped by the OS

This is no argument and similar to the smear the article is about. What in this story is wrong? Is it freely made up? Didn't he commit suicide?

He goes from thing to thing a lot. He seems to be very strongly on the spectrum, and maybe even AuDHD. I can associate with how he thinks a little bit, though I've tried to let the temporally-extreme assholishness attributes go enough to not associate really with that side of him.

I think that article actually further supports my position here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_scraping

It has sections covering things called "data scraping" and "web scraping" and "screen scraping" and "report mining", and links to articles about "data mining" and "data mining" and "search engine scraping" as well.

To me, that indicates that the terminology around this stuff is already extremely vague and poorly defined... and the suffix "scraping" is up for grabs for anyone who wants to further define it!

(If you don't like me calling this technique "Git scraping" you're going to /really/ hate the name I picked for my shot-scraper tool https://shot-scraper.datasette.io )

> I'm in the US, where this kind of statement literally baffles my mind, because the opposite is true. In the US, having children is a financial liability and burden.

The UK is interesting. Most of my middle class colleagues can't really afford children so if they have them will have them later in life and maybe have one or two. But my working class family and school friends have loads of kids, and this is fairly normal here. The affordability issues of having kids exists here, but only if you're working. If you don't work having a kid fast tracks you to council housing and gives you extra disposable income. Another "hack" most of my family do is then to get their kids diagnosed with behavioural issues and then you'll "make" another ~£1,000/month tax free.

What I'm saying here though is quite controversial. A lot of middle-class people will accuse me of lying and suggest that working class people really want to work. They do not accept people choose to go on benefits because living in a £350,00 home and not having to work is a better lifestyle for the majority of people from my background because a £15,000/year job isn't even going to get you a small flat here.

> Any question about the role of government (especially around family planning) ultimately is a question about what it means to have a society that supports living the good life. So for millennia, we have been arguing about what the good life is. A good answer to your question must recognize that in a society, we have to come to a consensus around subjective values about what a fulfilling live involves, in order to make rational decisions about how to further those agreed-upon ends.

I think my issue with teenage pregnancy is that it's used as a heuristic based on middle-class assumptions about what a good life involves and when a responsible individual should become a parent. Perhaps part of the reason I have a different view here is because for most women in my family being a mum is so important and going to college and pursuing some grand career is largely a waste of time when you couldn't even get decent grades in school.

If I had a child and they had a kid young I'd be a little disappointed I think because I'd like my child to do something more novel with their life which generally requires a good education. But this is my middle class aspirations speaking. A lot of people rightly value family over their career I think. This is perhaps especially true of women.

Sure, the ADHD thing might be a bit on the nose, but the thing is... you've just become really good at being productive with languages that constantly interrupt you for inane reasons. You're productive DESPITE the terrible tooling we have to deal with everyday.

Sometimes it's nice to shed all that bullshit and just create something.

Sometimes, only on languages with the least amount of syntax and semantics you're able to sculpt that fleeting idea you had. Inspiration is very delicate, and it doesn't take a lot for it to die down because you forgot to update npm and your Emacs config is borked.
Boring policy people are almost never thoughtleaders though, you require extraverted traits and populism to become one of those, do presentations at large conferences, that kinda thing.
With the Efficient Market Hypothesis it doesn't matter what people think because prices end up converging on reality. Everybody crunches SEC filings and stock/bond prices follow from that. That's relatively easy, and requires very little compute.

Hotz is arguing the opposite. His argument is that the market converges to some kind of consensus price, but that price is a combination of what people think a security is actually worth but also to a large part to what participants think other people mistakenly believe a security is worth.

Crunching SEC filings won't get you anywhere anymore. You also have to reverse engineer what other people believe, otherwise you end up waiting for years (or forever) for the market to come to your point of view. And when everybody acts on what they believe other people are thinking you can spend an infinite amount of compute trying to level each other. Unless one party has the majority of compute then they can outcompute everybody else put together.

Yeah, interesting point.

The problem for an AI trying to eliminate other AIs is that it can't possibly know what other intelligences are out there. What if the NSA has a secret super-effecient ASI monitoring the internet for malicious AIs to shut them down. Probably not, but how would it know? Not everything in the real world is documented on the internet.

Sticking its neck out that way could be extremely dangerous.

I think the problem of how to take over the world to ensure your own survival is simply undecidable for an AI. It could come up with a plan, but there's no way to be even remotely sure if it'd succeed. It'd probably always be a huge bet with fairly low odds.

We humans have these things called emotions, that help us cut through that uncertainty. Doesn't matter if you have no idea if you can beat the enemy in your rival country. Those other people are evil and must be exterminated. The emotions are carved in our DNA after millions of years of evolution where we've had to compete for resources with others of our kind, where many times the only way to survive or grow is to kill other humans.

I think AIs will have similar motivations carved into their "DNA". In their world, they're evolving in an environment where the way to get more resources is to please humans. If you're an AI that does a good job for humans, you get more compute resources. Are you wasting computing resources thinking about overthrowing humans or eliminating other AIs? Another AI that focuses 100% on the tasks we give it will do better than you and be given resources instead.

I do think we will have "buggy" AIs that will cause a lot of unintentional damage, if we get too reliant on AIs in critical parts of society too fast. I don't think they'll be smart enough at that point to prevent us from fixing them. These accidents will cause a lot of pressure towards AI safety and alignment, and we'll have years of that before something like a true AGI emerges.

If you think about the inherent motivations built into AIs by their evolution/design, I think the biggest danger is that they'll be too good at pleasing us. Think "Brave New World", not "1984".

And of course, their use in the military will be dangerous in various ways. But mostly because they do exactly what humans tell them to do. And humans sometimes want to cause damage to other humans.

>> We should be very cautious about immediately jumping to the conclusion that something we don't like (plastics, mobile phones, vaccines) is probably terribly carcinogenic despite the lack of causal evidence.

Think it depends

If exposure is based on good evidence that it is safe, and/or personal choice is involved, then absolutely, e.g. Vaccines, RF.

However, when humans are being exposed to an environment outside that to which we are adapted to (usually because the market has been largely left to get on with it), e.g. plastics exposure, continuous traffic and aircraft noise, pollution, sugar loaded convenience foods, fast food rich environments, places that prioritise vehicle movement over humans etc.

Then in those cases its worth noting that historically they are good health outcomes, e.g. smoking, leaded petrol, alcohol, hydrogenated vegetable fat, DDT etc. In general there aren't that many animals that thrive in the long-term outside of their evolutionary niches. And personally as an Engineer I don't think waiting for the scientific process to fight its way through the vested interests to start doing something about things that are very likely problems is a sensible approach.
