> How does Netflix compete with Facebook?

By definition the attention economy dictates that time spent one place can’t be spent in another. Do you also feel as though Twitch doesn’t compete with Facebook simply because they’re not identical businesses? That’s not how it works.

But you don’t have to just take my word for it :

> “Netflix founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings said Wednesday he was slow to come around to advertising on the streaming platform because he was too focused on digital competition from Facebook and Google.”

> This is what happened with Eric Schmidt on Apple’s board

Yes, after 3 years. A tenure longer than the OAI board members in question, so frankly the point stands.
I think it makes sense

Sign the letter and support Sam so you have a place at Microsoft if OpenAI tanks and have a place at OpenAI if it continues under Sam, or don’t sign and potentially lose your role at OpenAI if Sam stays and lose a bunch of money if Sam leaves and OpenAI fails.

There’s no perks to not signing.
Politics will kill any team so keep in mind that one bad apple is enough to divide the rest. Sometimes it's better to decline a management position when you sense that the team is highly dysfunctional and you're brought in to fix things.
This reads like a far-fetched conspiracy theory
??? They fired him on friday with a statement knifing him in the back, un-fired him on tuesday, and now the board is resigning? How is that not erratic and unstable?
It's not that hard.

Slap a motor and a few servos on a piece of cardboard and you've got yourself a model airplane. Sometimes I'm surprised how easy it is to get something flying.
>which is great when researching "unusual" topics.

Yandex is for Porn. What is DDG for?
oh gosh, no, no no no.

Doing AI for ChatGPT just means you know a single model really well.

Keep in mind that Steve Jobs chose fruit smoothies for his cancer cure.

It means almost nothing about the charter of OpenAI that they need to hire people with a certain set of skills. That doesn't mean they're closer to their goal.
Gotta nitpick :)

Brute force is good enough, at any given moment the # of possible moves is finite. The limiting factor is how much hardware you have and how quick you need the next move.
Could have said the same thing once Microsoft got involved.
This should be taken into account when researching the health effects of coffee. I can drink about as much tea as fits into my stomach without too many mental effects, but coffee (or lack thereof) has strong effects. Just caffeine cannot explain this.
I got Mistral-7b running locally, and although it wasn't hard, it did take some time nonetheless. I just wanted to try it out and was not that interested in the technical details.
>Disappointing outcome. The process has conclusively confirmed that OpenAI is in fact not open and that it is effectively controlled by Microsoft. Furthermore, the overwhelming groupthink shows there's clearly little critical thinking amongst OpenAI's employees either.

Why was his role as a CEO even challenged?

>It might not seem like the case right now, but I think the real disruption is just about to begin. OpenAI does not have in its DNA to win, they're too short-sighted and reactive. Big techs will have incredible distribution power but a real disruptor must be brewing somewhere unnoticed, for now.

Always remember; Google wasn't the first search engine nor iPhone the first smartphone. First-movers bring innovation and trend not market dominance.
> The IDE situation remains the #1 issue in adoption.

Im curious why you think this is the no.1 issue? I think a bigger issue is that so many CL programmers prefer to talk about lisp instead of just getting their hands dirty and making cool original open source things with it that other people would get excited to use. Thats actually a much harder problem. Plenty of people actually use Emacs even if they dont care for elisp and end up learning and writing elisp because they like Emacs. I think CL should market itself to uni or even high school students. Kudos to you though! You are doing great work to promote CL

Ands the evidence is now that OpenAI is a business 2 business product and not a attempt to keep AI doing anything but satiating anything Microsoft wants.
Most employees of any organization dont give a fuck about the vision or mission (often they dont even know it) - and are there just for the money.
If OpenAI remains a 501(c)(3) charity, then any employee of Microsoft on the board will have a fiduciary duty to advance the mission of the charity, rather than the business needs of Microsoft. There are obvious conflicts of interest here. I don't expect the IRS to be a fan of this arrangement.
Yeah microsoft keeping doing what it does is not a desirable outcome.
The Tokyo Subway attack you referenced above happened in 1995 and didn't require AI. The information required can be found on the internet or in college textbooks. I suppose an "AI" in the sense of a chatbot can make it easier by summarizing these sources, but no one sufficiently motivated (and evil) would need that technology to do it.
come and see me, dont hide behind jira...all that wasted time meeting with the upper-ups is time you are missing whats going on with the project...so many resources are spent on reporting and the only indicator you take notice is the completion date
Good lord: it’s a private company. As a general matter of course it’s inadvisable to comment on specifics of why someone is fired. The lack of a thing that pretty much never happens anyway (public comment) is just harmful to your soap opera, not to the potential legitimacy of the action.
ollama doesn't come packaged with an easy to invoke UI though.
Saying "superhuman AI is not an existential risk" isn't the same as not caring about safety. It's a coherent assessment from someone working in the field that you may or may not agree with.
I thought about it for a minute. I came to the conclusion that OpenAI would have likely tanked (perhaps even within days) had Altman not returned to maintain the status quo, and engineers didn't want to be out of work and left with worthless stock.

> That's another challenge for parents. Books are expensive and take up space. Lego and various other toys are also expensive, take up space, and children constantly need reminders to pack it up. Arts and craft quickly dominate spaces and lead to disputes over which child made all the mess. Contrast with reading on an app like Libby (free, no bookshelves), playing Minecraft (cheap, no pack-up), or digital art/puzzles.

No, at least no for most folks in western world. If you make your life hard on purpose living far away from civilization for whatever reason then yes you created your own challenges, but that's on you and you dragged rest of your family into it.

We have tons of libraries around, what kind of developed society would ignore such an important place? We also have 'ludotheques' which are literally for kids and also have various rental toys. And we live in small village, surrounded by other small villages. Complaining books take space... thats just sad, not commenting on that one.

Lego / Duplo are amazing (we bought 2 full sack of potatoes worth of original used duplos for like 50 or 100 bucks, with massive train setup), kids love it, but if you list as an issue that kids actually have to clean up after themselves, it becomes pretty obvious problem lies elsewhere (rest of your comment says so too). Parenting is hard, moreso these days, but its also massively due to the fact many parents simply don't do good parenting, they can't suffer even a bit for their kids because they are oh-so deep in their comfort zones or feeling important or whatever. Rather few teach discipline which is one of the most important skills for their future life success regardless of their path, and it shows pretty much immediately. But folks without discipline themselves probably can't teach one. More often than not they are glued to screens even in front of their kids. I am literally naming various shitshows and their direct causes we see around us across few countries and societies.

What kind of hobbies and passions do kids have? How did you invest yourself into developing those passions? What kind of role model are you for them? Thats completely parent responsibility, schools will never supplant that and its not their purpose (the fact that good teachers often end up as huge parental figure in their pupil's lives just shows what they have at home, have a friend a teacher on private school for very rich and influential people in Geneva, Switzerland and stories he tells me about 6-7 years old who like him much much more than their own dad with 7 lamborghinis...). And so on.

But if parent's mode is career and money first or general me-first and kids leave my precious free time alone then its always the same sad story at the end.
Never realised that Omegle had become a platform for the creeps. She sued for $22 million. I don't see anything heroic in that, despite her tragic circumstances.

In his recent Ted talk, Ilya talks about AI as 'brains in a computer', and explains why he believes they aren't that far off from AGI. [0] GPT4 is a substantially worse software engineer than I am, but it is 10x GPT3. And if we 10x for at most 2 or 3 iterations, it could be better than me. While it is unclear that we can get there, it doesn't seem implausible to me, and would have deep implications for human existence. That is already true if it just stayed at that level, but what most doomers are really worried about is the possibility of GPT8 being as good or a better AI researcher than most or all humans.

IMO OpenAI’s governance is far less trustworthy today than it was yesterday.
If you want to store a lot of energy cheaply, the density (and power per volume/ area) is a killer property. The Castner process to electrolytically convert NaOH to sodium metal is known and was deployed at industrial scale even 100 years ago. The other direction, where you get energy by reacting sodium metal with water is described in the patent, which was reproduced successfully in a garage/ home workshop setting. It obviously worked for Lockheed.

Btw. sodium has many desirable properties even in the metal form. You can store it quite efficiently on pallets probably just wrapped in some foil. You would be able to store more than 3 MWh on a single pallet. No battery can match that. It's more like a replacement for stationary diesel generators - but you can recycle the resulting sodium hydroxide solution back to sodium using renewable energy quite easily.

Also sodium reacts with water so readily you could probably get stable current with just ~50 ms of delay, which on the grid would still be considered instantaneous. You don't need any expensive catalysts, spark plugs, pressure nothing. Just a thin film of water on a metal plate and some sodium to push against it.
At least Google lasted a good 10 years or so before succumbing to the vagaries of the public stock market. OpenAI lasted, what, 3 years?

Not to mention Google never paraded itself around as a non-profit acting in the best interests of humanity.

"insulation - noun [ U ]
the act of covering something to stop heat, sound, or electricity from escaping or entering, or the fact that something is covered in this way"

In common language usage, UK houses are insulated to stop heat escaping in our mostly temperate climate for energy efficiency reasons, not to stop heat entering.

Everyone opens their doors and windows in the UK allowing the heat in. Aircon is rare, but increasing. So houses stay hot long after the afternoon peak.

Altman appears to be in the driving seat, so it doesn't matter what other people are saying, the point is "Open" is not being used here to the open source context _but_ they definitely dont try to correct anyone who thinks they're providing open source products.
Lol. But it beats Scissors. :)
Objective in what way? What claim are you rejecting?

Anyway.. if you want to have a conversation about childhood, parenting, suburbs.. quantifications and statistics (assuming that is what you're looking for) are allowed.. but the conversation will be fundamentally subjective.

There's no other way, that isn't meaningless, to have this conversation.

If you want to narrow down, to a specific point that can actually be settled in such a way.. that's great. A great point in the conversation. Not the conversation itself.

There is no way to quantify or settle this debate.. with published social studies. The complex relationship between parental culture, modern childhood, screens, neighborhoods... There is no reason to think this will be modeled out in a comprehensive,"objective" way.

You can make a data centered argument, that is fine. It is not possible to do this honestly, well being both broad and tight.

Iregardless, OP's point stands. "It's the screens."

Trying to isolate kid culture, school culture, parents, parenting.. it can't be done. It's a complex. It is now a complex operating in a highly computerized world. The way to think of it is as one major aggravating factor.. that changing material culture.. and how it is affecting the complex that is parenting-childhood-culture. Every element of that complex is co-evolving tightly interrelated.

If you want to think of this objectively (in a pragmatist sense), which outside (the complex) change is the primary driver. Suburban design, or screens.. a computerization of culture.
Kinda feels like cutting off one's nose to spite someone else's face.

Easiest defense is just writing good comprehensive code, IMO. my multimv project is kinda my main test for things like this. I'd even be fine with it being eaten up by the various models, because it does rely on knowing the realities of renaming files, the realities of avoiding collisions, etc etc.

There is no good simple answer for "rename files in batch while not overwriting any file, and only fail if there isn't a solution of any form to perform the renames"

I have visited modern art museums. I have seen similar "low effort" pieces among a wide catalogue of high effort ones. It is evident that real artists are very prolific and are not lazy or anything like that, that was not implying that, I don't even think of it as bullshit.

My example was more about how the appearance of effort is not necessary for the viewer. Many people can look at abstract paintings and say "this is bullshit, my kid could do that!", and yet many people can also look at it and recognize beauty, and it's not because the latter group sees the piece as more effort, they're just able to parse the language of the piece better (imo).
Binance Lapses Let Hamas, Isis, Al-Qaeda Make Bitcoin Trades
Internet is sufficiently pervasive nowadays that is it probably no longer practical for parents to directly supervise children all the time they are using it.

Strong parental controls on the devices the kids use might work but there are some major holes in that approach. The big one is that nearly everyone has one or more internet access devices. It is not hard for a kid to find someone else's device to use.

Sites are probably going to need to bite the bullet and at a minimum not allow interaction between anonymous users and children. That probably will require some sort of age verification.

Age verification can be done in a way that doesn't reveal anything to the site other than that the person is not a child and doesn't reveal to anyone other than the site that the person visited the site. But it can also be done in a way that gives the site much more information and reveals to third parties that you visited the site.

It might be a good idea for people concerned about privacy to get ahead on this one, recognize that age verification is probably going to become a requirement, and instead of just lobbying against all age verification also work to ensure that when that fails and we do get mandated age verification we get the kind that only reveals age to the site and doesn't reveal to anyone else what site age was verified for.
Much Sus. Wow.

Anyone with enough critical thought and understands the hard consciousness problem's true answer (consciousness is the universe evaluating if statements) and where the universe is heading physically (nested complexity), should be seeking something more ceremonious.

I think this [1] article makes a good case for a lot of AI futurism just being a new draping over though complexes created for old religious debates, so the AGI in the doomer view is basically the devil: it will conquer the world because that's what the devil does, and it will do it by seducing people using clever lies.

I'm not saying that recreating religious tropes is what people set out to do, more that as they walked trough the bare space of possibilities they found these well worn paths of logic and simply settled on what felt like convincing lines of reasoning, not seeing that it felt convincing before it was familiar.
