According to the OpenAI CTO, ChatGPT5 is not going to break new ground.

So if you were Sam the smart thing to do is to get your platform embedded absolutely everywhere before the heat starts to come out of this iteration of AI.
I wonder if something like this will become more prolific sort of like the rise of private gated suburban cities that has their own unrestricted internet jurisdiction vs the public facilities that overtime become ghettos with their own web trees capable of evading surveillance (by the group that wakes up every morning worried about losing it all to the people outside the fence).

Often wars are frontiers for societal shifts that arises from new technological inventions/adaptations. What we are seeing in Gaza very may well become a reality in the West in the future: a divorce of a globally connected world into its own islands that can only be accessed via physical proximity or like in my earlier example, socioeconomic class, even by ethnicity.

Around 2000 I worked for an ISP. We had some customers reporting that they couldn't get to some websites. Narrowed it down customers who were:

* Running Mac OS 9 (not Mac OS X)
* dialed into an Ascend NAS (Not other vendors)
* Assigned a Dynamic IP
* Accessing ASP-based websites

they would get a blank page on the website.

We actually had a computer in the office we could replicate it on but gave up at that point since we didn't have something to debug the network traffic. For the single-digit number of customers we gave them static IPs or something.
Word-object correspondances can obviously be learnt from observation in theory - it is widely accepted that there is enough information to learn such correspondances, even on a limited dataset. The argument by linguists is about grammar, not vocabulary.

Chomsky's argument is exactly the opposite, that vocabulary is learnt from scratch, but that the framework for grammar is innate.
But that’s you wind up where the only socialization they get is with other weirdos on the internet.

So someone who buys and empty piece of land, and holds it while everyone else around them invests money in the neighbourhood, deserves the gain they realize. That's an interesting worldview.

>Tell that to the people who left urban St. Louis and Detroit and Cleveland in droves over the last 75 years.

Tell them that I was speaking in general? If the value of your home can explode or crater for reasons outside your control, perhaps it would be wiser for housing to not be so expensive so that families need to have everything invested in their home.

>The problem with Georgism is that, yes, land is different than other things in that you can't make more of it, but it's also the same as most things in most ways that matter.

That isn't really an argument that the fixed supply of land doesn't matter, you're just asserting that it doesn't. It also doesn't suggest anything we should be doing instead, so what are you contributing here?
From the same tweet: "This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth."

Sounds like a bit of a hyperbole to me.
So you don't actually guarantee anything right now? What sane person would give you their money knowing that?

Charlie Steiner pointed this out 5 years ago on Less Wrong:

>If you train GPT-3 on a bunch of medical textbooks and prompt it to tell you a cure for Alzheimer's, it won't tell you a cure, it will tell you what humans have said about curing Alzheimer's ... It would just tell you a plausible story about a situation related to the prompt about curing Alzheimer's, based on its training data. Rather than a logical Oracle, this image-captioning-esque scheme would be an intuitive Oracle, telling you things that make sense based on associations already present within the training set.

>What am I driving at here, by pointing out that curing Alzheimer's is hard? It's that the designs above are missing something, and what they're missing is search. I'm not saying that getting a neural net to directly output your cure for Alzheimer's is impossible. But it seems like it requires there to already be a "cure for Alzheimer's" dimension in your learned model. The more realistic way to find the cure for Alzheimer's, if you don't already know it, is going to involve lots of logical steps one after another, slowly moving through a logical space, narrowing down the possibilities more and more, and eventually finding something that fits the bill. In other words, solving a search problem.

>So if your AI can tell you how to cure Alzheimer's, I think either it's explicitly doing a search for how to cure Alzheimer's (or worlds that match your verbal prompt the best, or whatever), or it has some internal state that implicitly performs a search.

South Korea was like this too but they thankfully switched recently. It's not uncommon to receive addresses in both the old and new style since most locals grew up on the former.
Dunno the details of this specific issue, but hyperbole is pretty standard for Snowden. I don't blame him too much. The guy has been through hell. But let's just say his Twitter proclamations aren't exactly neutrally worded.

The only way to satisfy extreme notions of free will is to introduce supernatural agency, e.g. a soul granted by God. This way your choices are neither physically pre-determined, nor random.

And in fact when you dig deep into discussions with some people, it becomes clear that defending and proselytizing the existence of a soul (or similar supernatural concept) is in fact their goal in discussing free will in the first place. They think it's a useful way to back into their preferred version of spirituality, or they think it's the logical resolution to the contradiction you've highlighted, or maybe both.

He also had the option to be complicit in warrantless wiretapping of a scale unimaginable until his leaks.
Absolutely agree, although from a business perspective it is a good strategic move, it just kills innovation—especially for users that DO want to try out cool features or new products. Like, I can't even give MY OWN data to a service that could help me?
False correlation.

Yes, speed is such a significant factor in the severity of accidents that it can be isolated as a sole point of focus. That does not hold true for the frequency of occurrence.

Increased speed does increase the probability of an accident but not so significantly that it can be isolated apart from other contributing factors. That is significant because as other factors contribute more to the probability of accident controlling for those factors reduces both the number of accidents and thus the number of accident fatalities.

Ignoring this logic results in bias and thus an incomplete or faulty solution. People always want to isolate for controlling for speed because of over simplification, or rather a hasty conclusion.
There's a new app on the block that allows this using virtual workspaces.

<< That is absolutely not the case - I just don't believe that a bunch of hot garbage people (in this case the racists and bigots who want to use LLMs to proliferate hate, people who create deep fakes of kids and celebrities) or a bunch of horny folks (ranging from people who want sexy time chat bots to, or just 'normal' generated erotic content) should be able to compel individuals or businesses to release the tools to do that.

I will admit that I actually gave you some initial credit, because, personally, I do believe there is some limited merit to the security argument. However, stating you can and should dictate how to use llms is something I can't support. This is precisely the one step away from tyranny, because it is the assholes that need protection and not saints.

But more to the point, why do you think you got the absolute right to limit people's ability to do what they think is interesting to them ( even if it includes things one would deem unsavory )?

<< You are concerned about freedom of expression, and I am concerned about freedom from compulsion (since I have already stated that I don't believe that losing access to LLMs breaks freedom of expression

How are you compelled? I don't believe someone using llms to generate horny chats compels you to do anything. I am open to an argument here, but it is a stretch.

It's hard to explain to younger people my pride in that I was "good" at finding multiple addresses and plotting best course between locations, then knowing where phone booths were to call in on the road, etc. Definitely makes me appreciate GPS and mobile mapping apps.
Are libel, slander, and censorship all similar concerns in you opinion?

I see libel and slander concerns over what another person says while censorship is an entity with more authority/power stopping me from what I want to say. The implied power imbalance alone makes censorship a much bigger concern to me, though maybe I'm biased there.

What makes this infuriating is the "most moral country in the world" did this for economic damage to another country's commercial market. So much for free markets. In the US, we still think the China vaccines are not as effective. This led to Saudi Arabia requiring everyone who came for pilgrimages to use US made vaccines. The problem was US made vaccines were not readily available in all places. It was double trouble for them.

I am so angry right now.
We humans learn our own value function.

If I get hungry for example, my brain will generate a plan to satisfy that hunger. The search process and the evaluation happen in the same place, my brain.
OpenAI did the reasonable and logical thing here. They're easing themselves around regulatory hurdles, possibly avoiding Senate committee interrogations, and legitimizing themselves all with a single board seat.

Snowden's being disingenuous. He knows all of this and has chosen to ignore the above in service of an agenda.

What _actual_ choice did OpenAI have here? If they do not accept an NSA board member today, what would OpenAI be forced to accept later?
Morally, he believes otherwise.
Powers that be have always had it in waaaaaay more for Snowden. I don't think he'd be free like Manning.
Once upon a time I had to track down an issue where very rarely, with no discernible pattern the web app would produce garbled PDFs. We would restart all servers, everything would be fine for a month or two, then random bad output. Turned out this happened when an admin account remotely connected to an app server, which caused a reset of default screen resolution (only for admin accounts, not regular remote connections), which messed up the PDF library that relied on a specific resolution (it was HTML-to-PDF conversion). Lived with it for a couple of years at least before tracking down the root cause (after many many failed attempts). The fact that only the server with the reset resolution caused the problem confounded the issue.
I keep checking in on OpenTelemetry every few months to see if the bits we need are stable yet. There’s been very little progress on the things we’re waiting for.

I don’t follow closely enough to comment on possible causes.

What I do know is that the surface area of code and infrastructure that telemetry touches means adopting something unfinished is a big leap of faith.

Step 1. Open Excel

Step 4. pip
Step 5. SqlAlchemy? Psycopg? Raw SQL? Import CSV?
Step 6. "Where we gonna host this? Local? Cloud? Serverless? Do we need Docker? K8s?"
Step 7. git init
Step 8. "Hey, do any of you know what these mean on the specs? IRR? COGS? NPV? I studied CompSci, not this lame finance bullshit"

this reminds me of issue I had when I heard American on TV or movies use number of blocks to describe a distance, for example: "my house is three blocks away from here". I thought block is a unit, just like meter or kilometer. I've wondered for a long time how many meters in a block there are.
Just for comparison, in Vietnam, we say something like "my house is about 100m away from here" or something like that. If you look at the map of city like Hanoi, Vietnam, you'll see why we cannot use "blocks" to describe distance.
There are still jobs that absolutely, positively require a human, and I fear very much for situations where I need a human to talk to to resolve an issue, but one doesn't exist.

As a particularly morbid example, most systems out there are not prepared, at all, for an account holder to be dead and other people need to resolve their matters. Navigating the more robust conversation trees to get to a human in those extreme edge-cases is a whole thing.
It is not about looking smart. It is about not looking foolish. Hi tech is a small enough market that having a reputation for unstrategic thinking is likely a net negative.
You can also check if you have ipv6. I have tried both, but prefer directly connecting home.
There is an animation further down that shows the magnetic field generated by the sun when it is a dipole. Apparently the 3-d wave like pattern better shields from cosmic rays originating outside the solar system.
No - MoE is just a way to add more parameters to a model without increasing the cost (number of FLOPs) of running it.

The way MoE does this is by having multiple alternate parallel paths through some parts of the model, together with a routing component that decides which path (one only) to send each token through. These paths are the "experts", but the name doesn't really correspond to any intuitive notion of expert. So, rather than having 1 path with N parameters, you have M paths (experts) each with N parameters, but each token only goes through one of them, so number of FLOPs is unchanged.

With tree search, whether for a game like Chess or potentially LLMs, you are growing a "tree" of all possible alternate branching continuations of the game (sentence), and keeping the number of these branches under control by evaluating each branch (= sequence of moves) to see if it is worth continuing to grow, and if not discarding it ("pruning" it off the tree).

With Chess, pruning is easy since you just need to look at the board position at the tip of the branch and decide if it's a good enough position to continue playing from (extending the branch). With an LLM each branch would represent an alternate continuation of the input prompt, and to decide whether to prune it or not you'd have to pass the input + branch to another LLM and have it decide if it looked promising or not (easier said than done!).

So, MoE is just a way to cap the cost of running a model, while tree search is a way to explore alternate continuations and decide which ones to discard, and which ones to explore (evaluate) further.

I presume you've flipped the bozo bit on me and will take my response in bad faith but I'll do so anyway.

There's a difference between something that is intentionally anonymized, distributed and designed for perpetuity. These make freenet have an affordance for potential malicious use.

here's some recent instances, specifically with freenet: https://news.google.com/search?q=freenet%20arrest

There's no server to seize, no way to take it offline, it's there forever.

Last time I tried it, there was no way for me to blacklist content I did not want to be a node for. If a policeman had seized my laptop, who knows what they could have found in the Freenet databases, I certainly had no idea.

Maybe these people in prison are innocent non-technical normal computer users that just downloaded Freenet a long time ago, poked around for 20 minutes and it's been running for years without them knowing.

A jury of 12 non-technical people hear "This person's computer downloaded and distributed gigabytes of child porn" from the testifying police officer, and that's all that's needed I'd suspect.

You can call this the "4chan" problem. Regardless of the virtues of the people who built it, there weren't enough safeguards to prevent the bad actors from becoming the dominant users and eventually the inmates who ran the asylum.

I want the principles held by Freenet to be preserved and not polluted by propagandists, fabulists, scammers, and pornographers.
He was en route somewhere else, the US cancelled his passport and downed diplomatic planes out of russia that they suspected he was on, this was an international scandal that you conveniently forgot.

Unless you're involved in that decision making process and leaking the information here, that's just pure random guy internet speculation. The scope for them was very different and you're basically saying "trust this with your life, you'll be totally fine".
That doesn't seem plausible given that "scientific management" is quite a bit older and one of its main concepts comes from an experiment in surveillance from 1927.

Apple is already building the same set of features. But because everything is so centralized (Apple’s frameworks and dev tooling are good) they can do stuff without recording your activities. Especially with so many people using the default apps, and the integration with Siri that already exists.
This will just lead to the evaluatee finding anomalies in evaluator and exploiting them for maximum gains. It happened many times already where a ML model controled an object in a physical world simulator, and all it learned was to exploit simulator bugs [1]

> What’s the tldr of the licensing problems?

There are multiple patent pools for H.265 wanting to be paid licensing fees (MPEG LA, HEVC Advance, Velos Media). HEVC Advance and Velos Media even want content distribution licensing fees.

And there are patent holders not in any pool who also want to be paid (Technicolor, Motorola, Nokia, etc.).

It's a mess.

OpenAI was never some indie thing

OpenAI is the most perfect physical manifestation of cynical, alienating, self-important narcissistic capitalism that has ever been seen

You would think LVMH would take this title, but there’s no more hypnotizing scrying device for burgeoning psychopathic narcissists (CEOs, “influencers”, rappers etc..) than the endless fawning solipsism on demand from a simulacrum of a human
the recent episode of Machine Learning Street Talk on control theory for LLMs sounds like it's thinking in this direction.
Say you have 100k agents searching through research papers, and then trying every combination of them, 100k^2, to see if there is any synergy of ideas, and you keep doing this for all the successful combos... some of these might give the researchers some good ideas to try out.
I can see it happening, if they can fine tune a model that becomes good at idea synergy.
but then again real creativity is hard
For other people following along -- the second link is a direct response to the video I posted by someone who seems to specifically work doing strength training with older people; definitely worth watching if you want an alternate view.

The first link seems to be in response to a podcast by Andrew Huberman (sp?) about back pain, which also contains some comments about McGill in general; but nothing directly about what he says in the video I posted. People might find it interesting in its own right but not as directly relevant to the question of deadlifts in older people.
What is this based on? No matter what people think he deserves, my guess is that Snowden, like Assange, is a character that the ruling class wants to make an example of. Chelsea Manning does not threaten the ruling class, especially after you know what.

Assange is still being charged.
