The reporter was quite unquestioning.

OpenAI reached out to SJ to use her as a voice actor.

Why was the casting call for non-union actors only? SJ is a SAG union member. "Non-union actors, unless you happen to be her?"

Her agent feared for her client's safety? Why? And to the point where the agent wants to stay anonymous, too?

Highly ironic, given that ultimately, a single voice statement from the voice actor could be far more conclusive of OpenAI's defense.

Altman was not "intimately involved"... well, other than the latter attempt to sign SJ two days prior to launch coming from him personally...

The agent said the actress confirmed that neither Johansson nor the movie “Her” were ever mentioned by OpenAI. Weird they'd not say anything to her when they were making these references public.
I asked it for a recipe for orange sauce, like at a taqueria. It dutifully provided me a recipe where the first ingredient was 8-12 oranges.
I'm not going to argue about the many other fantastic achievements. How about figuring out the atom, the components of that, then the subcomponents of electrons, etc. That's pretty amazing, figuring out electromagnetism in general, then using all those things together. Figuring out evolution and how it basically worked, well before we could use all the other discoveries to figure out the actual mechanism of genes.

It doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of ways. Tenure, those who get cited the most as contributing to other works, whoever manages to shmooze their way onto the grant review board, whoever has been doing “good” work in a space etc etc. If you think that peer review is the only way status is established, I’m afraid you’re failing to grok how humans work - we’re very status oriented and will come up with any mechanism to formalize and broadcast that status and academia and the scientific world is not immune from this.

Yeah this looks like a cool device. I love my Remarkable, but the lack of backlight and slow refresh rate means it’s not as versatile as it could be.

A tablet that has similar screen properties to eink but with a backlight and 60fps would be much more usable, especially at night.

We're not talking about any complaint, we're talking about a specific complaint.

Three thoughts.

1. If you could add a button that makes a search on Google Scholar for the paper so I could find its main publication and reference counter, that would be awesome.

2. I don't like being linked directly to the PDF; I would rather go to the Arkvix page and download from there.

3. What would the policy of publications be? Only open-access papers allowed? Are pre-prints okay, or just peer review? Could one post a paper published in IEEE, with an extra field for where the paper is publicly accessible?
Fyi: the UI is completely broken on mobile. I cant read anything at the above link because it extends off the edge of the page in both directions and I can't horizontally scroll.

You're right that customers don't care about Free software and yet it won. Free software has moved from a niche to dominating the software marketplace. The linux kernel, GNU coreutils, gcc, binutils - these are amazingly popular and keep getting ported to new platforms. And of course, Open Source software is yet more popular still.
It's the current trend in selling the fear of climate change caused by fossil fuels.

When Generative AI was first launched in Google Search, I ran a few test queries to see if it could find some old things I had done on the web. For example
[ mylastname string library c++ myinstitution ]

Search produced a Generative AI result with a confabulation: it said that I had written an open source string library known as the "Mylastname C++ String Library" and even gave code examples of how to #include <mylastname.h> and use the API (which looks just like std::string).

I reported this to somebody who forwarded it on to the search team and also blogged about it. After a couple days, my blog was the top search result (not AI, just a search link), and after about 6 months, the generated AI result stopped showing up at all.

They may still be tuning the system but I don't think they are going to be able to create a true, reliable question answering system with what they have now.
Really? You could tell the planes in Top Gun: Maverick were all CGI over reference footage? You could tell the Barbie movie car sequences were shot in front of a green screen (as opposed to a matte painting, which is how it appears)? You could tell that almost all the racing shots in Gran Turismo were CGI?

This wasn't an example given in the video series but what about a movie like Brokeback Mountain? Can you tell which of the sheep or which of the mountaintops are CGI? If you can, that's absolutely shocking to me.

Take a look at this shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/vfx/comments/z8wbv4/whats_the_conse...

What ends up being useful is hard to predict, so it's better just to do what you enjoy. Lots of useful math started out as just an idle curiosity, though mostly it ends up being useless. Probably most engineering projects are the same though (most end up in the dustbin sooner or later).
And he could have meant a whole lot of different things by that, including the perfectly reasonable observation that the voice assistant tech is at parity with what we saw in _Her_.

The assertion that this one tweet, in the absence of any other official communication, constitutes advertising the product to be voiced by Scarlett Johansson is a _huge_ stretch.

I'm certain OpenAI would have been much happier with SJ as the voice actress. But how different does a female voice have to be to _not_ be considered an impersonation of someone?
> How would you differentiate leaving chips on the table from falling for Putin’s tough talk?

You’d differentiate them by whether escalation keeps happening. If it was just fear of Putin, there wouldn't be continuous escalation in the areas previously seen as concerns.

> A swift, firm response early on could have given Putin room to propagandise a retreat.

As someone whose position well before the 2022 invasion was that Ukraine should get expedited NATO membership with a (probably time-limited) exception added to the territorial application of Article 5 commitments for then-currently Russian-occupied parts of the country, I don’t disagree, but I will acknowledge that the people making policy decisions on this also, as well as probably being just plain better at this area than I am, also have vastly better intelligence on both the material and the human factors involved, and while its not clear just how wide the policy space is between the catastrophic failure zones on either side, it’s pretty clear those exist. My instinct is that the Administration has been less aggressive than ideal, but I’d sure be sweating bullets about whether I was going to accidentally trigger a major direct superpower conflict if I was, without further information or support, suddenly magically made the decider of policy in this area.

What you perceive as a "huge leap" is not so much the promotion of consciousness as fundamental, but rather the demotion of matter from that same stance. The former is simply a byproduct of the latter. That in the process it seems to interlock so well with findings in various fields of study should admittedly be considered for now as just a happy accident. But we've abided by the law of parsimony to orient our inquiries on much less hints.

> assume that this shows consciousness to be inexplicable as a physical process, jump to the conclusion that consciousness is the fundamental reality on which the physical world supervenes, and throw in some arguments from incredulity to coax the reluctant to make this rather huge leap

You must ensure to have a proper grasp of the chasm between qualia and conceptual knowing that is pointed at in the hard problem of consciousness. Anyone who does should see how removed from physical processes qualia are. It's just self-evident, not a belief. The experience of a smell is not a thought. You don't reason the taste of chocolate. Those "things" sit in their own mysterious "weirdness".

We experience reality in exactly two ways. Consciousness and matter. Those are the only two big mysteries. So, either matter is first, consciousness is first, or they co-arise independently and somehow coalesce. Those are the three possibilities. To declare any one to be a "huge leap" implies that you conceive of another as more acceptable.

If by "huge leap" you mean specifically anything that is not materialism, note that of the three propositions, materialism is by far the least parsimonious and the one that creates the most problems. We culturally favor it as the default stance for two reasons. First, our perception of reality is biased to it. Second, we've had great success studying that perceived reality with science. But as Russell noted, science has only explained how the world works, not what the world is. We've traditionally approached the latter question starting with a "rookie mistake", as Donald Hoffman puts it. We assumed that science also pointed at the world being material. Under analysis, that assumption crumbles, as it's revealed to be built upon other unchecked assumptions, that cause many problems in philosophy and in physics.

We have two possible alternatives to materialism. Of the two, consciousness as sole primitive is the most parsimonious and the one which solves most problems in the process, while creating the least.

> Is there any non-circular argument for the proposition that learning all of idealism (or any specific variety of panpsychism or dualism, for that matter) would achieve for Russell's blind man what knowing all of physics cannot?

I'm not sure that I understood your question here, but there's no such proposition. Idealism is a field of inquiry. It's a set of arguments that eliminate matter as a possible candidate for the basis of reality. Like physics, or any other philosophy, it belongs to conceptual knowledge. It can't give you access to experiential knowing.

Breakthrough Process Creates Next Generation of Powise
I have tried a number of different things, including selling individual artworks, licensing, commercial projects, and NFTs.

By far NFTs have been my bread and butter. Cringe, I know. But past all of the scams, grifters, and bullshit, there are actually collectors and artists doing amazing and innovative work with code-based art. A lot (but not all) of the bad vibes have found something new to flip a quick buck on, and what's left are passionate folks. Not to mention places like Sothebys, MoMA, Christies, etc.

Why does generative art marry up with the blockchain? Because you can store code on-chain, and you can use the transaction hash to seed a PRNG. This allows the artist to issue a set of unique artworks all generated from the same algorithm.

They literally didn't question any of OAI's claims. They just regurgitated them.

They were desperate for a non-union-only actor in their casting. But repeatedly kept hitting up a union actor.

What fears for the actress' safety have been portrayed such that not only does she needs to stay anonymous, but her agent does too?

Ask HN: Intermediate CSS Resources/Practice
What is a good CSS resource for a backend engineer? I have done all the basic tutorials like W3Schools, Mozilla Docs, watched tons of youtube videos, but nothing clicked yet. I have tried to replicate websites but I get stuck halfway. Stack overflow is unhelpful as they want an "easily reproducible" code everytime. In practice it is not easy.

I think I need some "intermediate" level tutorials and explanations. I have seen tons of youtube videos, but the problem is that for finer things, it is mostly "draw rest of the owl".

Short of taking a full time job in frontend and learning on the job, are they any step by step resources to learn CSS at an intermediate level?

I know it’s not even really the point of the article, but I wish the author had elaborated a little on the nature of the prompt, even if they didn’t make it obvious what it was specifically.
It isn't the specific facts covered by the article that I find hard to believe. It's claims like "they probably weren't even aware of the movie and definitely weren't trying to create a voice that sounded like it".

It's true that their behavior is less damning, with the facts from this reporting. And that's a good thing. But it's not true, in my opinion, that the article demonstrates that there is no behavior to criticize.
So what? They’re free to hire whoever they want to be a voice actor. It’s not illegal for them to hire someone that sounds like Barack Obama.

We discover new approaches to replication all the time. Have you never come across foundational papers and arguments that everyone loved at the time, but made big methodological mistakes that led to the wrong conclusion?

Well the first problem is management calling themselves "leadership." Then there's communicating "to" instead of "with" a separate group of "workers." Someone who tries to convince me to do all the work is not a "leader."
