Post-WWII France and UK, France even into the 80s.

US nationalized passenger rail into Amtrak in ‘71.

New York took over the private subway companies in the 40s.

Since the 1980s the US uses a different mechanism (as they did with Boeing) where the state leaves the companies listed on the stock exchange but influences policy by guaranteed purchase orders, forced mergers (else you lose those purchase orders) etc — privatization in all but name.
ChatGPT can't sell it as its own content, ChatGPT has no brain, no thoughts and no agency. There are a few questions that matter here.

* Is the literal act of copying data to the hard drives used in model training fair use?

* Is the act of training using the data count as a performance of the work? (This one likely not because there's no human being performed to.)

* Are the resultant model weights considered a derivative work of some or all copyrighted works in the training set?

* Does a model reproducing some or all of a copyrighted work count as a performance? Does transmitting it as an API response? Does hosting it in the conversion history?

* If the answer to the above is yes who has done copying? OpenAI or the user? What situations is it one, the other, or both?

Nothing says you can't acquire data with reckless abandon, and use it to train your AI which would be fair use. I would love to see someone get sued for piracy and mount a defense that they were torrenting to gather data for AI training and see how it goes.
If the AGI were made from a detailed scan of a human brain converted into a physical simulation, or otherwise proved very similar in terms of embodying human values, then perhaps. But it doesn't look like things are going this way. Humans make a lot of things that range from clever to mundane to horrifying, and I can't think of a single one of them that I would be happy with replacing humans across the surface of the Earth, even if it were very good at maximizing production figures of a paperclip factory or responding helpfully to queries.

"Now, increasingly, we live in a world where more and more of these cultural artifacts will be coming from an alien intelligence. Very quickly we might reach a point when most of the stories, images, songs, TV shows, whatever are created by an alien intelligence.

And if we now find ourselves inside this kind of world of illusions created by an alien intelligence that we don’t understand, but it understands us, this is a kind of spiritual enslavement that we won’t be able to break out of because it understands us. It understands how to manipulate us, but we don’t understand what is behind this screen of stories and images and songs."

It's an international standard so all professionals that read the maps never have to guess what the colors mean. In commercial vessels, you need to follow the Solas standards. This also means that you need certified hardware and software for the chart plotters.
I meant aviation fuel. I made a mistake by using the term "jet fuel". Thanks.
I'm saying grouping all of those things together is dumb and meaningless. As a taxonomical choice. "this food was processed" is not a useful category for analysis.
AIs are immortal, they have no need for strategies developed by mortals like us. I spelled out a much better strategy that a sufficiently advanced AI could use to get rid of humans. It would simply encourage the most violent and self-destructive tendencies among humans and let us design our own demise simply because it would be the most sensible strategy for an intelligence that was not competing with the same resource constraints as us. We need food and water, AI has no such resource constraints so there will be no need for an AI to use the same survival strategies as biological organisms which need access to clean water and fertile land to grow nutrient dense foods.
two black holes in highly elliptical orbit, so they they nearly collide when they come together. at the center of mass is a cloud of iron atoms. When the black holes nearly collide tidal forces across iron nuclei rip them apart. These ripped apart atoms can then be re-harvested and used as fuel in a fusion engine. The energy loss from ripping the atoms apart is then recovered by the black holes by taking advantage of dark energy when they go apart, which increases the distance between them, increasing the gravitational potential energy.
The status quo is and always has been unbearable, and forcing people to exist in it for centuries longer if there’s a better option just seems horrific to me. If there were an agi button that I could press, I’d take a 70% chance of failure, but I personally think that’s pessimistic.
Did you hire? Did they work out?
That's true but organizations are agents and they do act to preserve "themselves" which is much more than can be said about software systems we call AI.
Clearly you've never read animorphs...
Note: Google did not release the hidden dimension for GPT-3.5, and OpenAI has already implemented mitigations against some of this.

I generally agre, but pork shoulder shouldn't be that bad for you. If you're barbecuing it, a lot of the fat should cook out. If you eat an otherwise healthy diet and dont over do this, it should be fine.

An interesting thing that I've noticed, is that pork fats seem to vary in their solidifying temperature. If I get pork from the supermarket, the fat resolidifies at room temperature rather quickly. If I get pork from a local farm, it can take all night to resolidify at room temperature. I'm thinking the quality of the pork feed may be affecting the health properties of the fat (higher saturated fat tends to equal higher solidity). Obviously it's still bad if one overeats it, but maybe we could get some health benefits from looking at the quality of the fats through things like animal feeds and living condidtions.
I've noticed this same save issue in Bruno

To your last point, some of the joinery used at that time was absolutely beautiful and required levels of skill many modern wood workers will never attain. It’s fascinating how much precision was necessary to make such ornate joints work. And they were even perfectly functional, too.

I tried my hand at a few for years and never produced anything worth using in a project around my home. I’m nothing like good at wood working, but it was humbling anyway. They did so much more than I can with a lot less than I’ve got.

I guess they had time, mentors, and a culture valuing skilled craftsmanship on their side.
You'll be glad to hear that the recent sudden jump in sea temperatures isn't caused by carbon dioxide. Turns out it just hasn't been windy enough in the Sahara lately (and environmentally friendly boat fuel may have contributed as well).

It's a very old trope in science fiction and most of the doom scenarios spelled out by the folks afraid of AI takeover is basically a waste of time. I would take the doomers more seriously if they actually brought some receipts from folks like Lem who were much better thinkers and much more adept at exploring the human condition and our fears of advanced machine intelligence.
> In the following, we show that [taking cosine similarity between two features in a learned embedding] can lead to arbitrary results, and they may not even be unique.

Was uniqueness ever a guarantee? It's a distance metric. It's reasonable to assume that two features can be equidistant to the ideal solution to a linear system of equations. Maybe I'm missing something.

All commercial plotters have autorouting. There is automatic wind routing for sailing in OpenCPN (as a plugin). I'm not sure that adding it to a phone with carplay is a viable option. If you have a display to show it on, it's probably a display for a plotter with all the functionality, including map updates over the internet.

Except the markdown files are tied to a vendor outside of trivial formatting since it's a simplistic underpecified format without extensions, so all these obsidians specify their own extensions to add complexity, which your vscode does not support (and neither would git diff help to see data change in a sea of formatting changes)

And this spec is for complicated layouts, not trivial notes you're comparing it to, so your intuition from simple notes doesn't translate to this use case

I am 90% sure that Altman's views on such issues are a machiavelian attempt at regulatory capture.

Isn't it more likely that you can catch yourself during the planning phase if the amount of work being estimated exceeds your budget? That seems much cheaper and easier to pivot from than if you were to make that realization halfway through your implementation.

I don’t know how much this is bias on my part, but sending weapons to Gaza feels more equivalent to arming anti-russian partisans in the alternate reality where the march on Kyiv wasn’t a failure and the Ukrainian government collapsed.
I was under the impression this was system wide in Windows and Mac at this point?
Maybe, but the one I generally flag is "cold cuts".

Humans have been curing meat forever. The question is whether "cured meat" is an issue or whether "modern curing of meat" is the problem.

When you ordered a ham from my old local meat market, it was a hunk of freshly butchered pig that was brined, cured and smoked. If it had any sugar, I sure couldn't taste it. You took it home, put it in the oven for a couple hours, and sliced it. It tasted wonderful by itself or with just a bit of fresh horseradish.

That ham is quite a lot different in terms of ingredients from the "sliced ham" you will get from your local grocery deli as a "cold cut".
They don’t need to teach you this. I don’t see why that’s an oversight. There’s much to being fluent in a language like this that we take for granted.

Heh, I haven't seen that particular datetime constraint before, thanks for that!
You're not going to get a simple answer because the answer is quite complex.

Astronomy is the paleontology of photons. You should take an astronomy course if you really want to know, but essentially a "ladder" was built of distances, starting with the very near and slowly building outward using various techniques and discoveries of physics as they became available. This is called the cosmic distance ladder. You start with stellar parallax, then after that you go farther with "standard candles" (particular types of variable stars). But then you have to get even further out, where you can no longer see an individual star, and then you rely on specific breeds of supernovae. Only then do you get to redshift, and compounding tons of data from step three seems to verify the redshift estimates. By the time you get to the Hubble constant, it was a huge rift between two communities over what was still a factor of two difference.

It's quite fascinating, but I can't really dump out an entire book into a comment.
A scenario in which an AI subtly and slowly guides us to our own doom by encouraging our inner demons still counts (in my mind at least) as an AGI doom scenario, just a slow-motion one. But it strikes me as very unlikely, because in allowing humans that much latitude we still pose a credible threat: we might instantiate a second AI that would compete with the first. There would have to be a large enough upside for it to be worth the risk. I'm not saying it certainly wouldn't happen the way you say, but it's by no means guaranteed.
To be frank, it feels as if they are fishing for potential customers to validate the idea without any real product.

That one reviewer is a "Founder" of what exactly? Wouldn't surprise me if the page itself was generated using "AI".
"web standards" have extremely optimized ubiquitous implementations with extensive tooling. I strongly disagree with you. CANbus on boats isn't exactly bullet proof, people mess up their N2K networks all the time by just starring at it wrong.
Teable can currently share forms to get data from external users. You can also integrate with other lowcode tools to build external application interfaces

It’s like a full body workout and the rough part is that results are often garbage without quite a bit of practice and a decent saw. Putting in all that work to get bad cuts is soul crushing (speaking from experience).
My iPhone 11 scores 16.8, which really highlights how much of a lead Apple opened up during Qualcomm’s complacent decade.

I think that matters less for benchmark wars between tribes, fun as those always are, than as a stark reminder that any of us building for the public should remember than an S24 is _really_ fast for an Android phone and your median user probably bought whatever was on sale a couple years ago. That means that if you’re one of the many developers using an iPhone which isn’t roughly a decade old, you have no idea how your app feels to the median user because your device can run so much more code before it feels sluggish.
And yet no one cared to make a responsive CSS to the site. Try to read it in a phone.

This kind of thing drives me nuts. And it’s just text, it’s not like it’s rocket science.
What I was thinking about in your post was the the statement "[Lisp] is very much an imperative language with better syntax and _some_ macros". Of course some lisp-family languages are very much not imperative and some get by without macros (e.g. Clojure).

Can you imagine a language with such a first-class quoting system?
Other fiat currencies don’t take a bunch of energy to mint. Fiat metals (whose values are worth more than their practical use), however, do have a cost to extract and refine, so it’s not like crypto currency is alone here.
I don't believe you're right, but that would be the greatest outcome imaginable to me.

If AI means the freeing us all from living under the thumb of the current copyright cartel, I'd be dancing for joy. The tiny handful of powerful media conglomerates that sue 12 year olds for sharing a song, take down criticism by abusing automated DMCA systems for obvious fair use and use their monopolistic power to enrich themselves at the cost of everyone else in society should be dismantled.

Of course, in practice, I'm sure the lobbyists from the major copyright profiteers are already working to make sure they get unjustly paid and fair use for regular citizens gets further eroded.
I genuinely can't understand the doom. Can someone provide me with a realistic step by step scenario where language models destroy human civilization? How can it counter each individual step we take to correct/secure our computer systems? I feel like I'm lost here. There is beautiful mental gymnastics we have to make to conclude that AI will cause the civilization destroying dangers that we all think(want?) to happen. The only thing that I can think of is somehow a language model accidentally launches all the nukes in the world. But, that assumes that literally every step of the process can be actioned upon by typing text into a terminal. There's many armed people and physical keys that are in between GPT4 and the launch codes...
The antiquated still think 28K is a reasonable salary, and that is before any tax deductions.

Mentalities like those are one of the reason why salaries are so low in the UK.
The problem I have with task breakdowns is you get way too much engineer overconfidence - i.e. there is literally no task which is less then an entire day's effort, in practice. There's about 6 usable hours in a day - I've watched people confidently bid they'll get something done in "half a day" but when you point out that's about 3 hours, suddenly they're way less sure about that number - or offended. Then 3 days later they're still working on it.

The units the article is concerned with is time spent, not output.

Spend more time creating than you do consuming.

The only one of your options examples that doesn’t then make more sense is the software developer, and as a software developer myself, I’m very content with not putting my creativity against those other examples.
Sure, but if you wanted to detach from the modern economy and trappings of modernity like supply chains and life-extending healthcare, you could save up some money, get some remote, off-grid land, and live a subsistence life. It’s not free, but startup costs would be less than a year of city living.
I think you're looking at "consumption" that is directly related to something productive. When one reads code, it goes towards writing (and all other examples you showed); that is essentially productive

However, what if I spend more time on Instagram and Twitter (consuming that won't lead to creating) over writing code. What if I spend more hours watching cat videos on Youtube over actually learning or making something?

Consumption in this context are what I'd call "empty calorie" consumption

Currently I export my notes as a webpage and edit using my Nextcloud instance. It works, but it's not very nice.
I’d like to remind people that these ppl have no more knowledge about AGI as anyone else on this planet since there is no knowledge yet and everything they say about this topic is as relevant as something every other random person can say.
On commercial vessels, the colors have to follow the Solars standards. To make sure there are no misunderstandings in the charts. Many, software for no-comersical ships have much more fancy displays in random colors. Including 3d views of your route with sonar overlays. Satellite maps, but the clarity of the standard colors, or colors close to them as used by are much clearer in my view.

Much of the developing world operate their grids at a loss (so basically subsidized). Parts of China had to ban bitcoin mining because miners were using a lot of underpriced electricity to mine bitcoin to noticeable effect.

Bad take. Learn golang and rust and python.

You should use the language which is suited to the task, sometimes that's golang sometimes that's python and sometimes it's rust.

It's impressive that the python team as a whole continues to improve in such big ways after more than 30 years of development. It's more impressive that the python team managed to navigate 2to3 and come out stronger.

Because the rich executive class don't want to pay that much scratch.
The fact that "anyone could have done that" is evidence that a solution was there, but it took a creator to cone along and change the rules.

And if you went to his farm, I suspect you'll find other novelties.

Then again farmers are well known (in some places perhaps) for their creativity in making do either limited resources.
