Just because someone can tell a convincing story, doesn’t mean reality (once technology catches up) will resemble the devices of that story. Science fiction is fiction, and unconstrained by the annoying restrictions of physical reality.

That’s the point of my flying car comparison. We HAVE flying cars: they’re called helicopters. Because as it turns out there is just no physical way to make a vehicle in the form factor of a car fly, except by rotary wing. But people will still say “where’s my flying car?” because they are hung up on reality resembling science fantasy, as you are.

We have AI. We even already have AGI. It just doesn’t resemble the Terminator, because The Terminator is a made up story disconnected from reality.

> That would mean the government can outlaw protests by simply committing a single act of violence during one (or falsely claiming there was violence), declaring it a riot, and calling all the protestors, rioters. Obviously illegal.

That could happen, but in pretty much all known riots that is not what happened. Instead, massive groups of determined violent people have committed many acts of violence, arson, destruction and assault, leading to millions upon millions of dollars of damages and hurting a lot of people. Of course, each rioter would claim there were just present there and its some other people who did that, but it is almost universally a blatant lie. People come to this kind of events with certain intentions, and these intentions are not "mostly peaceful" - they are politically motivated violence. Their claims are just lies aimed at avoiding responsibility. It may be successful in strictly legal sense - that's why terrorist organizations like antifa insist on wearing similar clothing and masking up - to make attributing the violence to a specific person harder - but let's not be fooled by it. All people in that group have the common violent aims, regardless of whether it's possible to legally prove which part of violence were committed by which particular person.

> That doesn't mean the illegal things are legal.

That doesn't only apply to the police. It also applies to the rioters. If you are a participant of the event aimed at political violence as part of the group that explicitly declares political violence as its tactics, then don't whine about "collective guilt".

How do you 'undo' an entire market founded on fixing mistakes that shouldn't have been made once it gets established? Like the US tax system doesn't get some simple problems fixed because there are entire industries reliant upon them not getting fixed. I'm not sure encouraging outsiders to make a business model around patching over things that shouldn't be happening in the first place is the optimal way to solve the issues in the long term.
An effective hacker has to be competent at social engineering as well as having a very deep understanding of software/hardware.

Simple, the amount of desertified space will grow, and so space that is now unusable for solar power because it can actually be used at the moment can then be used for power.

I've read "in 100 years" about many technologies that we'd supposedly have in our current era.

It's an often used qualifier to dodge what can turn out to be meritless predictions. Just long enough into the future to sound promising, but also far enough into the future to not tempt a need for supporting evidence.

In my view if we don't have the underpinnings or motivation today to support such forward looking statements, then there is no genuine foundation for claiming that the situation will improve merely as time moves on. Technology only comes about when we make it, and only develops rapidly when there is a significant motivation for putting serious manpower behind it.

One could just as easily say that we'll have small and portable fusion reactors that completely satisfy our energy needs.
The story of the gordian knot wasn't really about the problem. It was about the solution. So alluding to it when you talk about nuclear is apt, but not for the reasons people seem to think.

Is it really a game changer though ? AFAIK countries that made the shift to solar and wind can't still store they energy and have to rely on fossil still to power they country (e.g. Germany). On top of that, if the whole world made the shift to solar, wind and batteries, I assume the scarcity of some materials will become an issue. According to this [1] Lithium for example is expected to have a shortage by 2025. There are also challenges like usable surface, and making all the intermittent, non-controllable energy work together. I mean, I am open to the idea of solar/wind, but "game changer"... Doesn't seem so easy

Here in the UK it would be super convenient if cost-effective nuclear power plants could be built.

After all, to decarbonise the economy we need to replace petrol cars with EVs, and gas-fired central heating with heat pumps - which will mean a big increase in demand for electricity. A lot of that heat demand will be in winter, when solar output is at its lowest. And a lot of our existing power plants are past the end of their designed life.

The problem is we're trying to build one nuclear power plant, and it's going pretty badly.

It's an extra reactor on an existing site - that should make things easy, right? And it's being built by the French who operate loads of nuclear power plants - should be experienced specialists building a cookie-cutter replica of a proven design, right? And it's using private-sector finance with the government just guaranteeing an electricity purchase price - should remove the incentive for delays and cost over-runs that plague cost-plus contracts used in things like defence procurement, right?

But it turns out none of these tricks was able to overcome the curse of large infrastructure projects, and it's going to be delayed and expensive. And all the time the cost of the project has been going up, the cost of renewables has been falling.

I can understand the argument for building fewer and larger nuclear power plants - you only have to get one set of locals to support you, do all the impact assessment paperwork once and so on - but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if we'd instead set out to build ten nuclear power plants, each one tenth the size, so there weren't so many things being done for the first time in a generation.

I’m similar: LLM can improve my productivity by 10-20% when I’m working on something familiar, 30-50% when I’m venturing into a popular domain that I’m unfamiliar with.

I just don’t understand where the hell is this magical LLM capable of generating flawless files or even entire projects that many people are talking about. I rarely accept a large block of LLM-generated code without close inspection, and I’ve ended up with a subtle bug that I wouldn’t have written myself at least ~5 times now. Unless you don’t give a shit about code quality, error handling, proper logging, and subtle bugs, you shouldn’t run LLM-generated stuff without painstakingly reading and fixing everything. Or maybe there really is a magical LLM somewhere.

What will happen when, say in 5-10 years, these models are all using training data from the year 2024-2030 that itself was AI generated?

Are we heading towards some dystopian feedback loop where AI teaches AI and we lose all creativity/originality?

Wealth distribution is important, because very rich people disproportionately buy up limited-supply assets in order to earn passive income on them. In densely populated places, that includes assets like homes, which pushes up housing costs.

Housing costs often aren't included in popular measures of inflation. If you do use an inflation measure that includes housing and all other everyday expenditure, then I think it's a reasonable to argue the baseline going up is good enough.
I think you missed my definition by a wide mile.

On a world-scale we've been reducing the overall number of people below the poverty line each decade, however there is a discussion to be had around inflation and whether the poverty line itself needs to move (there a re lots of poverty lines used in analysis, I'm not referring to any single definition).

And I'm not talking specifically about wealth. Wealth is fine in a vacuum. Looking at excessive wealth and means to recirculating it can be helpful when addressing the issues the poorest people in society are facing.

And I'm not talking about status, no idea how you got that impression. I'm re-reading my comment and trying to figure out where you got that fantasy from.

To be honest, I don't really see how it affects employees either, they've had multiple rounds of layoffs, their peak valuation was $11Bn and they got to the point where they were offering a share buyback program at a valuation of $300m. I don't see how any employee at this point could be expecting any value to the equity they got by working there. Having said that, after this funding I would expect the CEO to probably issue new incentive plans to employees because otherwise what are they even trying to do.

The real people getting screwed are previous investors who are basically being told they either have to put a tonne of new money in at an incredibly rich valuation or their existing holding is going to be diluted to 0. I don't see how you could possibly value the company like that and the fact that they're using this lever to force it likely means they think that actually what they can do is either get a very rich valuation from their hostages (prior investors) or kill the hostages (wipe out their equity and hand their share of the company over to the new investors). The result would either be a very generous funding round or a lower valuation in total because the new equity in would be getting a larger share of the company for their investment. In fact the rich valuation may be explicitly designed to do this - prevent prior investors from re-upping so that they can wipe out their stake.

It's clear that the returning CEO left with bad blood so I could imagine the structure of this was deliberate to screw the old investors who turfed him out in the first place.

The 1970s: When you have cheap coal and gas it would be financially stupid to invest in nuclear. Which is why most countries never did.

> Why not make the tools capable of everything and just punish bad behavior instead of preemptively censoring users and their usage of the tool?

Law of numbers. Basically, to pull off a convincing nudifier or whatever you needed to be really good at Photoshop, and the tool itself had associated costs (for buying it or learning how to pirate it), which kept the number of fake nudity photos very low. But now, with AI services doing it for a few bucks, or apps/training weights being released that allow everyone with a reasonably recent NVIDIA GPU to pull it off on their own? The numbers of such abuse exploded, because the cost went down drastically.
Have you got some sources for that? Thermal forcing from existing plants (and thermal sink from their energy output) seems like it'd be tiny compared to solar thermal forcing.

I find this interesting is games (and the development thereof). While playing people are usually concentrating really hard on something of their own choice, so they will often miss various popups trying to tell them vital things about how to play the game.

Probably the best way to do it is to force show them a handful of elements center screen, and then where those go into the smaller overall view. This is really intrusive though and you don't want to present too much information too quickly this way.

After that maybe if they're not interacting with a side segment for a while make it perform some action to draw attention, but its a fine line between not enough and too over the top.

Nuclear power plants are unrealistic to build in short time frames, such as trying to meet agreed green energy targets. Part of the Nuclear proposal being put forward by Australian conservatives includes dropping out of the Paris Agreement and refocusing on a 2050 time frame (ie. past the politicians' retirement age)
So you agree with me? Style is fundamentally part of the set of all data used in production, and that can be “tuned” as you say, but never removed. Its the ghost in the machine, the spark of contingency. Of course, all machines bear the mark of their creators, but LLMs doubly so, as creators themselves. Like shitty, partially incoherent children.

Making your plans around existential crises happening to your nation is foolish.

There isn't going to just be "a war" in Germany - there never was. A war in germany is a war with NATO, which is a nuclear war, and thus "what if the nuclear powerplant is hit" is rather mundane compared to "our cities and citizens have been incinerated".

This. Saving time(or money if you see them as the same) is the whole point actually.

Intelligence is supposed to be in the context of a shared Goal or beliefs. In your case and case of most humans time and money is the context.

Are ant(insect) networks intelligent? Possibly, They do help millions of them communicate quickly. But ants don't have a brain.

Are beings that make decisions without conscious choices intelligent? Possibly, if they could escape death by amazing ability at any instant. But these beings don't have a frontal cortex that can make decisions by rational inquiry.

>If you doubt that, open a new session and type some random tokens, you will get the answer that it's confused.

There is no empirical evidence of any awareness whatsoever in any LLM, at all. Even their most immersed creators don't make such a claim. An LLM itself saying anything about awareness doesn't mean a thing. It's literally designed to mimic in such a way. And you speak of discussions of consciousness being about the philosophical and unanswerable?

At least when talking about human awareness, one applies these ideas to minds that we personally as humans perceive to be aware and self-directed from our own experience (flawed as it is). You're applying the same notion to something that shows no evidence of awareness while then criticizing assumptions of consciousness in a human brain?

Such a sloppy argument indeed does make appeals to authority necessary I suppose.
