I will assume you’re asking in good faith.

Text continuation to match what people around the internet are saying requires the model internally to “program itself”. It is a non-von-neumann architecture but it encodes durable structures in BILLIONS of bytes, that’s like a codebase of gigabytes. It can pass the Bar exam, various pre-med exams, knows more than any particular human on every subject, and it’s only been a couple years.

The text continuation was the first interface, now they are doing multimodal. As it learns to predict the latent space for those things, it will be like predicting things in the real world. Training physical robots will become faster and easier too.

In short, this is basically a system to search through the space of all possible alhorithms in order to “reason about” a huge model of the world, enough to understand it and predict it with small loss.

AlphaZero used MCTS and can beat every human in chess now, and even every program written by a human, with beautiful gameplay. And even without AI, just the fact that the best performing algorithms are downloaded onto millions of computers is already multiplying the power far more than the 1% of humans who might do better in some area. So it can be better than 95% of humans at most tasks !
In my opinion, regulations are more important. Open source models cannot get to the same mainstream adoption as closed source ones, simply because closed source models will get more funding.

No-one beyond the tech circle will ever hear about these models or use them. This is a good second step but the first step is regulations.
The EU will win this if they want. Their trump card is that, actually, making the EU not a viable market for the most annoying US tech companies would be a huge win for many of their constituents.
https://yarchive.net/comp/sandboxes.html is an interesting example of Clarke's first law: " When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

The post, from Theodore Ts'o, argues that software sandboxing is, if not quite impossible, rather difficult: in his post, he argues that either the user or the sandboxed program has to configure a sandbox. The user won't know what to do, and the executable can't be trusted. The author neglects to consider a third possibility: the OS dictates the shape of all sandboxes and software conforms to fit. This is model we use in Android and iOS and increasingly even on conventional Linux (via snap and flatpak). Sandboxing is not only possible, but essential.

Anyway, being wrong is no great crime. Everyone's wrong sometimes. The author went on to do great things with the Linux kernel. It's interesting to think of why smart people are wrong and to be skeptical of claims of impossibly.
If "AI" is actually intelligent, then it's no worse a threat than any living being known to man

Unless the landlord has 100s or 1000s of tenants I don't think people can stay anonymous usually people rent for multiple years the churn is not high enough for deducing who wrote the review
> Some modern philosophers advocating pantheism think they just might.

This is a terribly low bar. The map of “ Some modern philosophers” “think [something] just might” [something] is an incoherent patchwork.

I think that theorizing about things without hard evidence has value. What-if’s teach us a lot, by raising important questions, and keep our ideas flexible, preparing us for the next crazy insight that nature reveals.

But that isn’t the same as attributing any reliability to the as yet unproven enthusiasms of philosophers.

There is a clear case for a survival benefit for creatures whose awareness and control extends into their own thinking. Thus a reason consciousness would be one of many strategies evolution may produce.

What natural phenomena is explained by a conscious rock hypothesis? What would cause a rock to organize in such a way? Where is this information about itself encoded and experienced in a rock? It’s not a coherent conjecture.

> Your reaction to Riven when approached in “gamer” mode will depend on whether you think this kind of intensive intellectual challenge is fun or not, as well as whether you have the excess intellectual and temporal bandwidth in your current life to go all-in on such a major undertaking.

There's a period of time between the nineties and mid 2000s when ubiquitous and fast internet access wasn't easily accessible, and so games like Myst and Riven had the space and time to be digested and savoured. Now it seems this just isn't feasible anymore. There are of course games in the same category, e.g. Outer Wilds and The Witness, but these have much more concessions to the internet age

This rigid simplistic attitude is precisely why we can't have nice keyboard things and have been stuck in the same state of bad defaults for decades

The only differentiator for a modifier state is that it... modifies! Here is a wiki common sense definition

> In computing, a modifier key is a special key (or combination) on a computer keyboard that temporarily modifies the normal action of another key when pressed together

So your limitations don't make conceptual sense, not only can you have LShift vs RShift modifier state, but also you can have an F modifier state when you hold down the F key to modify the behavior of other keys

> OS does not supply it

Unless it does?

That's their MO. Release something rough around the edges, cancel it when they refine it and/or it gains traction. Don't forget the EV1, Fiero, Corvair, the Australian GTO/G8/SS/Caprice, the entire Saturn division, etc., etc.

They bailed on the American Caprice and ceded the market for big ass cop cars to Ford. LAPD liked theirs so much they refurbished them at least once instead of going with new Crown Vics.
They made the Bolt EV from 2016-2023, and they're revamping it to use the new Ultium platform.

You could buy a 2023 Bolt starting at $26,500, and they're great cars.

There's also the argument that they made enough money with these monopolistic practices and it's now time to stop or share their stash with the EU.

How could have the legislator forseen all of these practices in order to codify them into laws? Regulation usually comes after abuse.
Those notes don't need to be persisted in any central database though. And while they are stored temporarily they do not ever need to be decryptable by anyone except that one therapist (by way of physical token or biometrics or, you know, paper locked in a drawer)

I really hope this practice is not mandated by the government... if it is then my view of Finland is going to change a lot

We've had nearly 4 years with no scandals and emerged from the pandemic with the best economic recovery of any country, and despite having no margin to spare in Congress, master legislator Joe Biden has secured massive climate change, infrastructure, and gun control bills, not to mention he's ended our two decade war in Afghanistan and overseen the fastest wage growth of the two lowest income quintiles seen in modern history.

And every time people actually watch him speak (not just a selected clip), there's weeks of coverage about how alive JB seems, not recognizing that all evidence points to that being typical.
Considering how restrictive third party app stores are on iOS the title should really be Apple to EU: Drop Dead. Google should do the same thing, I'd love to see them fine Google over it.
I've been using Parsec on my local network for several months now and I see absolutely no latency whatsoever. GFN and any streaming provider gives me a very small but noticeable lag in shooters, but Parsec on my home network is genuinely perfect. I game from my Macbook and I play whatever I want from my homeserver (3090 and 4060) in another room. Both my Macbook and computer are wired of course. Important to note is that I needed a dummy HDMI on my computer for a 'true' screen, any kind of virtual screened caused it to lag hard, probably because the game or stream ran without any kind of hardware acceleration.

I have to say, I love the way Parsec works and allows you to use your whole library (since it doesn't stream the game, but it streams your whole desktop). But if there is ever a service that allows you to get the same thing including remote servers (since I travel), I would probably switch.
Also, originally I think Machine Learning was more related to the field of Statistics than other AI methods that were more traditional CS.
Thanks. I read TFA. That’s why I’m saying: the described doomsday scenarios don’t match with what we observe in reality.
They really fumbled their Voltec platform, and not having a smooth transition from BEV2 to Ultium is kinda annoying, but Ultium seems like a solid architecture with several vehicles built on it and either shipping or close to shipping (and not just GM vehicles!).

Lynn Wheeler is another oft-informative usenet personality.
> Imagine 2007 and the following years already with the EU act in full effect. AppStore would be dead on arrival.

No, it wouldn't have been, as the DMA only applies to 'gatekeepers' and if you're new, you're simply not a gatekeeper. You need at least 45 million monthly active users and 7,5 billion of revenue for three years.

> So EU should change Apple’s and Google’s status from producer to provider of essential service like electricity for example.

That's the whole point of the DMA: designate these parties as 'gatekeepers', providing essential services ('core platform services' in terms of the DMA). Once you are, you have certain obligations that should allow proper interoperability with other/smaller parties.
> Part of this is that nobody has cared about security since the beginning, for basically anything in tech.

> It’s an industry-wide issue that permeates every level of the stack.

Can you explain? I don't understand. Here's my take.

Let's start from the bottom of the stack. CPU has some good security protections. They have ways to ensure that boot code is signed. They have hardware protection for memory. They have memory encryption to isolate VMs. They have many amazing security technologies. I can run VM inaccessible by host.

Let's move to OS. Well, there's lot of security stuff in any OS. Process isolation, namespace isolation, encrypted storage.

Next level is container orchestrator which happens to be Kubernetes these days. Again, there's lots of security stuff there. Built-in and add-ons. Everything is authenticated with cryptography. Many ways to implement very granular secret sharing. Secret stuff is encrypted in-rest.

Next level is application framework. Can't tell for every framework, but all frameworks I've seen so far was quite security-cautious. They try to safeguard known security issues (like SQL injections), they make it easy to add security layers on top, and so on.

Nobody cared about security in 1984, I guess. That's not the case anymore. Everyone cares about security. May be there's still space for improvement.

The only people who don't care about security are end-users. They don't even know what security is. They don't care about their passwords. They don't care about sharing their access. They don't care to check domain before typing password.

Also some application developers don't care much about security, that I admit. But that's not the every level of the stack. That's the last level of the stack.
That’s thinking too small. Most people are nudged or coerced into taking action or supporting an action by the people who surround them. Their friends. Their coworkers. Their community. Like why people were on facebook 20 years ago, or forwarding chain emails, for instance.

Unleashing an army of AI bots to infiltrate an online community and shift its discourse can be done at scale. While at the same time those humans who resist can be endlessly distracted by either arguing with bots or their own friends who have been affected by bots.

All that is possible to do with CURRENT TECHNOLOGY.

Bolt is not a sedan. It is a subcompact SUV.
Apple should play their Trump card and threaten to pull out of the EU. The EU would blink first because the public backlash would be career ending.
Nobody who ever took a taxi in Germany would say that.
I love my Bolt, but it's not a sedan. That said, it's not terribly surprising GM is not interested in making an electric sedan given that it's been declining in popularity over time. Ford isn't even making any sedans at all apart from the Mustang.
Fun fact: Apple originally didn't want an app store and wanted to go with web apps. It was only when third party apps installed after jailbreaking got super popular, that Apple opened their own app store (and then made it a huge commercial success).

So it actually shows that a third party app store would thrive, even if there is no first party app store. Especially if there were no barriers for using such a third party app store, such as requiring a jailbreak.
Maybe Pascal argued that way for the human soul, but I don't think the AI risk argument needs infinite value to be at stake. Would you say that preparing for the risk of a solar flare or an asteroid impact is also a Pascalian wager?
> People are angry, but often for the wrong reasons since wall-street washes accountability by design.

Counterpoint: just as we treat everyone involved in money-laundering as criminal, it is morally obligatory to treat everyone involved in responsibility-laundering as blameworthy.

"Remember the human" is a critical feature of every good social construct, but fundamentally impossible for some of the laundering business constructs that are considered ideologically mandatory today.
That’s the thing though; reducing the risk rhetorically reduces existential threat.

If it is propagated as “just electrons” no one gets anxious

If it’s propagated as “end is nigh” everyone panics

Both are reasonable in their grammatical correctness but only one seems a reasonable philosophy
That would be highly confusing for a German. OV always means that it is in a foreign language here, in cinema listings. Adding OV to German movies would identify them as not German.

So Apple preferring to reduce profit instead of complying to law? It will definitely be seen as a very bold move.
Now I appreciate the forward-thinking mode of the comment. That being said, the comment makes a lot of glaring assumptions - such as:

a) most teams/apps/projects want to switch to using server-side react (?)

b) the reason they haven't switched is not because a) but because it involves a full re-write of their code (??)

c) vite plugin would be an easy path to server-side react (??)

d) this easy path is what people were looking for

e) that somehow, all the teams out there that wanted to switch their project to server-side react, but thought they couldn't, just simply didn't realize they were 90% of the way there

I'm not really sure where to start, but let me explain some of the reasons a lot of teams / apps / people use the client-side only version of react / <insert favorite routing library>:

1. it allows teams that are pretty much front-end only, to mainain their autonomy

2. it allows people to maintain a clear split of responsibilities

3. a lot of front-end teams have no experience running server-side stuff in production

4. a lot of teams would not really benefit from server-side react - or the main benefits would be neglegable performance benefits, which might not even be perceived at all

5. a lot of people / teams have a backend-team that uses a completely different stack / programming languages - so they would not even be able to help or assist when things go badly when there are issues - or help with training the front-end people to deal with server side configuration/deployment/issues/node.js stuff (as much as we all want to pretend server-side react is not actually a node.js app, it is)

6. there's also a lot of people that just have a philosophical point of view that there should be a clear distinction between front-end and backend - and that these things should remain very clearly separated.

Now, I know these are not unsolvable - and some might be based on some misunderstanding and/or arguably wrong opinions/takes - there is a way for every team to get into some middle ground - eg. treat the server side react as kind of a front-end server or like a caching layer - but the topic is nuanced enough that it's impossible to give a concise solution in a single comment.
Cyan, by the time they got Adam's dagger prop, figured out they could do the whole thing in CG and so did not use the prop. They still thought it was cool as hell and hung it up on the wall. It was only after MythBusters started airing that they found out it was Adam's work, because he mentioned it in an interview. As shown, it now has a place of honor today in Cyan's lobby.
What do you even mean? There's no payments to EU in this case. How would they share the stash?
But the claim was "th gravest of dangers". While your scenario is a nightmare, I'm not sure it qualifies as "the gravest".
Wasn't sama a YC CEO or something?
You're right, on the face of it it sounds absurd and by rights it should be. However, absurdity has never stopped mankind from doing horrible things. I for one don't see the gravest dangers in the tech itself, but in the stuff that people will (ab)use it for.

And, of course, should AGI (which won't be text continuation, by the way) ever actually happen, then all bets are off. I just don't believe we're in any immediate danger of that.
Yara seems to be quite widely used by the UK police for digital forensics (or at least by the companies that supply their tools).
Apple shareholders have faster trigger fingers. Tim Cook would get fired before the EU population even realized what was up.
No it wouldn‘t. Instead European Brands like Nokia, Fairphone, Gigaset and Nothing would grow.iMessage and other Apple specific services are not really popular, even if the iPhone sells good.
My hometown is also home to Cyan, who made Myst/Riven. I've been to their offices a few times, just to nerd out with some of the devs and play random open source FPS games (the name escapes me). Their offices are really cool, they've got a lot of physical stuff from the games in various display cases around the entrance.

It's... weird to visit, though, because they're like the high school quarterbacks we all know. They had some great years when they were younger, but they're continuously trying to relive those glory days while yelling from the bar stool about that one time they threw the game winning pass. Most of their cash comes from remakes or ports of Myst/Riven, and half the time they aren't even the ones making the damn ports (third parties have paid them for the rights to do it, if you buy Myst on GoG then you got a version that was ported by GoG themselves).

They recently put out Obduction, which on paper seems to be a commercial failure (though I haven't sold seven figures worth of games so who am I to say), raking in like $5M total. Saving the fact that there are just a handful of dudes left at the studio... I don't know, it feels like the oft referenced online version of Cyan (which again, is 30 years old now) and their current reality are completely divergent.

I have some nostalgia for getting trapped in a book in Myst and feeling that fury, but I also struggle to see how they're relevant in today's gaming landscape. It feels like if Super Mario Bros was a one hit wonder, would we still be getting this pumped about crushing turtles three decades later?
You are taking the side of a 3 trillion dollor consumer goods company's bottom line, rather than 500 million people's right to choice and privacy.

Not the population, but the commission would definitely notice
The paperback also had a texture to them as well. It was hard to find them a decade ago and I don't regret the hunt. I'd agree that the first two books are great, the third is nice in rounding out the world but the story doesn't captivate as much.

They might notice the bits of interstellar dust that at the upper size range hit at 0.99c with kinetic energy on the order of magnitude of tactical nuclear weapons yield. This also makes targeting interesting without thrusters and fuel to correct their probably regularly perturbed trajectories. Those cold, small, dark rocks may not be quite so cold or dark if they're going to actually try to hit their targets.
