As others have said, I find it very useful for smaller and simpler cases. Focused, small functions. A lot of times both Copilot and ChatGPT (and also Llama 3 via Ollama) are great at sometimes writing tests for edge cases that I might have forgotten.

But anything more complex and it is very hit or miss. I'm trying now to use GPT-4 Turbo to write some integration tests for some Go code that talks to the database and it is mostly a disaster.

It will constantly mock things that I want tested, and write useless tests that do basically nothing because either everything is mocked or the setup is not complete.

I'm settling in using it for tests for those small, pure functions, and more using it as a guide to find possible bugs / edge cases in more complex cases, then writing the tests myself and asking it in another prompt if they would cover those cases.

As most people that actually use AI heavily these days, I think the usefulness of AI for coding increases a lot if you already have a pretty good grasp of the subject and the problem space you are working on. If you already know roughly what you want and how to ask, they can be a huge time saver on the smaller and simpler things.

This is the part that’s always bad.

IMO “dark money” is the perfect term. Even if it’s in aid of a cause I agree with I still think the concept is sinister and would rather it not exist.
Firefox on desktop supports "zoom text only" feature. But it's the only browser doing so. Because obviously it can break designs.

OTOH Opera mobile supports text reflowing after zoom (to be enabled in settings). It's a compile time feature of Blink and I'm baffled why one else supports it. It eats a bit more battery to reflow on each zoom but come on.
Nearly every flight they state that you should keep your seatbelt buckled at all times. If someone decides that they don't need to do that, it is because of their willful ignorance, sorry.
What costs money is mostly aggregating, packaging, and selling news. How many media establishments are actually the first to report on things? Most media establishments are just repackaging and selling stories that have already hit. Something happens in the world, there’s a Twitterstorm starting with people at ground zero of the event — that’s the actual “news”. Then the media companies all scramble to package and sell the story of that event to their subscribers. And in fact that whole song and dance is mostly about selling the subscriber base to their advertisers and “trusted third parties”.
Choplifter, not to be confused with Rescue Raiders[1,2], except in my memory, along with its cheat code: zippybobbypin (turns out it was actually zippy or bobbypin depending upon which cracked copy you had)[3].

Speaking of games which load fully into memory, there was a peripheral card called the Wildcard[4] which would snapshot memory to disk, making it trivial to make "backup" copies of such games. A handful of in-memory games would thus check periodically that the original disk was still present.

Probably people like Kokotajlo cared about the value of their equity but even more about their other principles, like speaking the truth publicly even if it meant their losing millions.
Obviously no group is monolithic, but I would define Zionism not as notion that Jews have the right to a homeland but a political movement to create and support a Jewish ethnostate, which (in its current form) is predicated on the dispossession of and discrimination against an indigenous population. These are specific, enumerable things that set Israel apart from other Middle Eastern countries, and until they are addressed I don’t believe it’s fair to describe anti-Zionism as “singling out the Jews”.

I'm still thinking capitalism used to be best during the Cold War, when there was a competing system in the eastern bloc - this led capitalist countries to try to prove that they can increase the standard of living for all, even the less better off. Since that alternative turned out not to be long-lived, capitalism has been growing more and more ruthless...
Not a bad idea. But what's next?

For example, I am indeed interested, but will anyone really play the game I make with AI?

If I spend the same time watching YouTube and learning Godot or Unity, will it be more likely to make games and even make money, and I can also use Meshy to produce my assets. Unity also has Muse (though it's hard to use).

If the games I make don’t make money, what is your business model?
An under-examined problem is that one of the most successful products of capitalism is capitalists. Those selected for 'leadership' by the market are rarely going to be vulnerable to long-termism and empathy, or more generously are going to be the best at rationalising their own self interest (see Effective Altruists).
The ICC is not prosecuting Israel. The ICC prosecutes individuals. South African or the ANC have no saying in who the ICC pursues cases against.

The ICJ is handling a the case against Israel filed by South Africa. The ICJ handles only cases with state parties, and only on the basis of complaints of one of those state parties.

The two cases are entirely separate, and the ICC and ICJ are two entirely different courts. The ICC was created under the Rome Statue. The ICJ, meanwhile was founded on the basis of the UN Charter.

> I think OP is saying that p-zombies are a pointless thought experiment, because the intended outcome is hardcoded in the premise

Yes and no. The point is to actually test your intuitions around the premise and the conclusion that must follow, to clarify your own thinking around the intuitive plausibility of the conclusions and premises, hence why these are called intuition pumps. They don't prove anything definitively unless you have intuitions around consciousness that agree/disagree with the premises, but you don't necessarily fully understand your own intuitions until you think about this problem.
You claiming to have been Israeli in the past (what does that even mean?) does not give you any greater validity in criticizing Netanyahu.

A majority of Israelis voted for this government's representatives, including Netanyahu, some specifically voting for him (his party has almost x2 as many votes as the second-biggest voted party).

Democracy doesn't work only when the representatives that you like are elected.

But really PRC more likely to reverse engineer kill switch, unless it's physical.

I'd more more surprised if TSMC engineers oblige to sabatoge, because doing so would turn them from being valuable collaborators with a job who are going to get 10x paperclip raises to becoming unemployed drone targets. All these TW will sabatoge TSMC forget the self interest a involved. These people want to make a living during and after the war. TW as province of China post unification still needs industry to maintain local economy, high end industries to sustain developed country QoL. Even ASML wants continuity in service contracts. That means doing everything to keep TSMC fabs running and relevant. Chances are good none of them will have a chance to make it off the island in a blockade. They're not moving to Arizona, their lot is tied to future prosperity of TW. There's a reason TW officials keep telling western chuckleheads to knock it off with the destroy TSMC talk, because they aren't going to kill their golden goose to spite PRC, because whoever controls the golden goose still has power in a post war world. How does a TWnese semi worker instantly propel themselves from expendable to privileged? By being paperclipped and collaborating with PRC.
It's not even that kings used to have nice things and now more people do (certainly not everyone). It's that a lot of people in absolute terms and almost all people in the first world have nice things, and kings had comparatively awful things but at the time it was the best in the world.

"you swap the vehicle" -- that's a large cost associated with the battery getting old earlier than it otherwise would have. Have you factored this into your math?

If you have a $40k EV expiring two years ahead of schedule, the added depreciation cost should be in the thousands. Remember that battery lifespan isn't measured only in years, it's primarily measured in cycles.

Dedicated LPO home batteries can be gotten for only $110 USD per kWh if you live in a place with no tarrifs or taxes on it. This makes a lot more sense to me.

The only way I can see it making sense to use EVs for this, is if the battery getting old is rarely the main reason for throwing away old EVs. If that is true, then sure, use EVs as a home battery, since you're not getting a massive depreciation cost from doing so. But is it true?

First on paper to figure out the concept. At this point I had a black and white scanner, so I could scan a pencil sketch in a different program as a starting point. I think I brought in the grayscale scan into DP, extracted essential 1-bit outlines, then wiped out the palette except for that outline color.

I definitely had photo reference for the realistic elements like water reflections and the doll face. These were newspaper and magazine clippings that I collected for the purpose. I’d look at the reference while drawing.

Designing the color palette was a surprisingly difficult problem. Using all the 256 colors would drive you crazy when trying to switch between them. DP had shortcut keys to navigate the palette in increments of one and 16, so a decent strategy was to make roughly value-equivalent color gradients with 16 or 32 shades. Then you could use the +1/-1 palette shortcut to change the value and the +16/-16 shortcut to change the hue.

With the color palette in place, the first step was to block out everything using colors at roughly 4-step increments within the hue gradients. That produced a jagged color sketch that could be used to set the design in place. And then just finish with tedious manual pixel work over the 320*200 buffer.

The built-in tools like Smooth and Gradient were not really useful if you cared about good antialiasing and dithering. It was something like a point of pride to do this manually.
Apparently people work around this with an AAAAAAlbum containing 8 hours of silence.
Do you know where does this cost lie? Say for an organization with no prior spending on "legacy" electronics based hardware.

Is it the sunken cost in existing hardware, or developing the rest of the "value chain" to make photonics work, or something else altogether?
> Unlike the current Autocratic regimes, like Putin's Russia, or Xi's China, the "Western Worlds" - whatever that means - don't hide or rewrite their History.

Or it started in 1931 according to the chinese.

> So that whole "imperialist thinking" propaganda logic seems very flawed, and more like an excuse the new autocratic regimes are using to expand their borders by force, and be themselves imperialistic.

Because the west hasn't expanded by force?

And that's why the western world hasn't invaded dozens of countries since. Right?

> and the forced expansionism of autocracies as a "multipolar world".

So you are defending the unipolar world? The same unipolar world maintained by force?

It's hard to take you seriously when your points defending 'the west' actuals exposes all the evil the west has done.
They're gloating about being right about SV tech culture. Being right about the heel turn is some cold comfort, I guess.

But parent shouldn't feel too proud of their prognostication skills. OpenAI is a venture of Sam Altman and Elon Musk, so how could it be anything other than what it is? You'd have to be insanely naive about SV (and, more broadly, what "non profits" of billionaires in any sector even are) to assume this was ever born of altruism.

This is an unacceptably lazy and reckless comment: your very first example blatantly plagiarized from Star Wars. You even called the bombs "BB-8 bombs" to make them look like the robot! It's just a dumb demo, but it means your product has no safeguards against copyright infringement, and you don't even care.

I suspect you might say "users of our technology assume full responsibility for copyright violations" or whatever, but what are your customers supposed to do if your product plagiarizes something more obscure than Star Wars? They can't be expected to check every generative AI output against every IP. You and your team need to take responsibility for the copyright problems your tool is guaranteed to create as currently implemented.

I really hate this "better to seek forgiveness" approach to copyright OpenAI has encouraged.
Regarding the West Bank/Gaza: My opinion is that settlements should be removed and there needs to be a path to a Palestinian state. An act of good faith would be to remove the settlements unilaterally, unfortunately, that did not work out too well in Gaza. Advertising West Bank property to Jews is, in my opinion, abhorrent, as well as making a bad situation worse.

On what happens in Israel, all Israeli citizens have equal rights. All countries have rules on who can become citizens. Yes, Israel is unique (I think) in the reasons for citizenship. Israel is also unique in its needs for survival. I am not sure if there are other differences, there could very well be.

On the settler/colonial issue: What I find most interesting about this is how vehement many people are in my country (US) on Israel being a settler/colonial state, when, almost without exceptions, they are the ones living on Native land, using Native resources, and participate in a conspiracy to eradicate Native culture (this is anyone in the US who is not a Native American), and are therefor themselves settler/colonists, while it is the Jews who are native to the middle east, whether the 50% who are Mizrahi or the other 50% who are returning to the land their ancestors were kicked out of.

And the Palestinians are also native to that area. The fundamental issue is: Can there be a compromise where each of these peoples get a land of their own, or is the idea of a Jewish state anywhere is what at some point of time was Dar A-Islam unacceptable.

Even forgetting context behind reunification, PRC accepting US has forever military presence in East Asia is not easy, it's impossible. Medium/long term, the only way to pacify region for PRC is to unify with TW _AND_ kick US military out of east Asia, that includes JP/SKR/PH. TW is just another link in US security architecture preventing PRC regional hegemony, as long as that exist there will always be friction. PRC not interested in normalized relations with US under those circumstances anyway. Don't forget TW was/is explicitly used to contain PRC, it's threat by proximity throughout history = it has has lost privelege to even be non-aligned in the future. As long as there's US military hardware in region, kicking US out of East Asia makes a material difference, and TW as unending civil war that PRC has legal right to restart at anytime is as legitimate freebie cassus belli as PRC will have to try to dislodge US presence in the region. Accepting US has forever military presence in East Asia is not easy, it's impossible. It's not about how little to loose, but how much to gain.

GPT4 is good enough to have profound effects on my quality of life as an autistic contractor/founder struggling with self advocacy and executive function disorder, and homelessness.

It's kept me off the street, and out of burnout for over a year, and has let me implement a lot of improvements to my business process.

People who think GPT needs to get any better to have impact simply have not spent enough time working through serious problems with it, and have not read prompting papers.

If I can get a free and private GPT4 replacement, that wil be one of the most life changing events of my adult life. I've struggled through two decades of homelessness without the kind of emotional and executive support that GPT now provides. It helped me reconnect with estranged family and loved ones. It helped me rebuild a social life. It helped me find housing. When I could not decide what to eat or when I did not have enough food it helped me take action and feed myself. I feel a new hope in my life, and a new and effective way to overcome many of my problems.

So I'm going to fight very hard to make AI a fundamental human right!
almost every tech ceo is like that. Could list many examples. It's an effect of capitalism.

Yes, but the point I'm trying to make is that I think "isolation" is the wrong approach for data quality issues. That's like fishing out a turd. You need to quarantine the lot until you fix the upstream.

Automating that process (invalidation followed by filtering) is even worse, it will merely mask data quality issues when you want the opposite, to grind everything to a halt until you get workable and realistic data.

Perhaps I'm not "realistic" enough about real world data to work in data analytics. The frustration from ignoring bad data was a large part of why I quit data analysis for software development around 15 years ago.
Where are WebM files used? Safari browsers/Apple don't even support it.
I'm usually somewhat understanding of this kind of thing, but this should be a local app only doing local things, not validating content with the cloud for safety. Not only does that mean that MS is putting a filter gate on your own content - not only does that make MS a natural target for both law and IP enforcement even though the content is local - but it also means MS can harvest all of the data if they so choose.

>Is anything in the article actionable by me personally?

I believe this is a rather short-sighted view, but I can understand it. I often feel the same way, and have phases in which I completely ignore the news because of it.

There's too much bad news nowadays, and it can be emotionally draining. But whether or not something is actionable depends on the timeframe, and how you define "actionable". It's not that there's a simple thing that you can do to directly make this problem go away, of course. But you can affect the situation indirectly by voting or protesting, for example (depending on your country, of course). Researching the problem and talking about it with friends and family can help, too, if you deem the problem serious enough.

Imho the question "how much energy do I have for this?" is a more realistic filter than if something is actionable by you personally. The other path may lead you to completely ignore problems like pollution or climate change, and instead focus mainly on smaller, less important stuff.
And what about rogue services that come with the OS itself? Things like Windows Update, Windows Defender, the Phone app thingy, diagnostics policy service, the Xbox game bar or whatever it's called, the .NET optimization thingy and a dozen other things that like to wake up randomly and start consuming resources whenever they feel like it. Most of these things you can only disable temporarily, if at all, without resorting to dubious 3rd party tools.
