It's a fundraising move. OpenAI becomes concerned about how dangerous the things it's selling are when it comes time to fundraise. This nonsense doesn't work that well in America anymore, in part because our politicians bite the bait and then start regulating, which Altmen et al don't want, but you can absolutely get a term sheet in the Middle East and Asia by linking yourself to the national security budget.
I guess it depends on whether you're more concerned about transport security or cipher cycles/byte.
dammit, you're right. i guess i have to go back and edit the code to only use junk data from now on
I think there are two elements to consider in regards to conspiratorial thinking:

1) reality is fractal. The closer you look at facts, the more detail you see, and noise too. It becomes harder to discern a picture (or a specific picture, the accepted one).

2) the more improbable the facts, the more information and meaning you get from them. So it's tempting to connect the most unexpected elements because they're the ones that give a deeper sense of discovery.
Well, I imagine at the time they had some LISP implementations that were very well tuned for specific high end machines, which essentially duplicated Fortran functionality. This is difficult to do for general purpose Lisps like SBCL. It was also probably very expensive.
OMG? Is this comment serious? Greece is in Europe, planet earth and not a desolated land on Mars! Greeks are of Mediterranean culture, mainly open and friendly. They deal with tourists from all over the world since maaaaaaany years and they know the business. I believe that the most difficult part can be the language, as generally speaking - don't know why - in Greece not many people speak fluently English (also in Italy we have the same problem!!).
Other that that, great sea, great food, great great ancient culture and history to discover, nice and bubbly people. Book your tickets and don't be afraid! And yes, greek people have two arms, two legs, two eyes and they are not little green pale creatures!! J/k, enjoy your time there, and welcome to Europe!
Sure, the amount of acceleration you get decreases as you get further from the nearest star, but that’s ok. Remember that you keep all the velocity you gained along the way, when you’re in space. You can be going pretty fast by the time you turn your sail to face the star at your destination.

Hungary is trying to raise the total fertility rate by... Removing personal income tax, for life, for any woman who had four or more children. It's too early to know if it'll work or not but Hungary is not "Japan bad" or "Greece bad" from the fertility standpoint.

But it's not just economical: the west worked very hard to destroy the notion of the family and worked even harder to convince women they didn't need neither any men nor any kid, while at the same time creating shitload of inflation and raising taxes like mad. Which woman wants a kid in a world where an heterosexual man is considered evil incarnate and where, anyway, there's not enough money to properly raise kids?

I'm not even starting on what is actually taught to kids these days in public schools in the west: there are parents that actually need to opt-out their fifth-graders (aka 9 to 10 years old kid) from classes teaching them to masturbate at home while making sure their parents aren't aware of it (but of course they can discuss that with the teachers)... No, I'm not making this shit up.

You want kids in today's world? Who's living in, say, the UK atm and thinking "What a great environment to raise a kid!". Who's living in, say, Springfield Ohio and actually thinking about having kids?

It's much more than just an economical failure: the west is crashing.

Typical of tech companies these days. Quality is considered immaterial - or worse - put on low level managers and engineers who don't have the time to clearly examine quality and good roll out practices.

C-Suite and investors don't seem to want to spend on quality. They should just price in that their stock investment could collapse any day.
How important is this, though? Apparently though it's a growing contributor, air travel contributes roughly 2.5% of overall emissions. Even for academics who "need" to attend conferences in person, how many conferences does the average academic fly to per year?

I tried one of those online carbon calculators which spat out 1.4 tons CO2 for a round trip west coast to east coast trip (SF / NYC). The average American emissions are at like 10x that, so while it's significant, depending on how many long-haul flights you have per year, it may still matter less than your day-to-day transportation, what you eat, heating your home, etc.

It's not obvious that an LLM - a pre-trained/frozen chunk of predictive statistics - would be amenable to being used as an integral part of an AGI that would necessarily be using a different incremental learning algorithm.

Would the transformer architecture be compatible with the needs of an incremental learning system? It's missing the top down feedback paths (finessed by SGD training) needed to implement prediction-failure driven learning that feature so heavily in our own brain.

This is why I could more see a potential role for a pre-trained LLM as a separate primitive subsystem to be overidden, or maybe (more likely) we'll just pre-expose an AGI brain to 20 years of sped-up life experience and not try to import an LLM to be any part of it!
And usually only when coming off a recession, when it's relatively easy to achieve high growth rates simply by putting people back to work. The last time the U.S. grew more than 5.5% YoY and it wasn't a recession recovery was 1978. More typical averages have been 2-3%.

It's almost unheard of for a developed economy to consistently grow at 5%+. To get those sort of growth rates you need robust productivity increases fueled by technology and innovation, and productivity increases have been hard to come by recently.
I’m not so sure that the order of methods matters very much in most cases. In Rust you can at least present them in any order you like, or you can use the module or trait documentation to explain how the order matters.
It's all just human arrogance in a centralized neural network. We are, despite all our glorious technology, just space monkeys who recently discovered fire.
I wouldn't call it a "bug", more "unfortunate physics". Still possible to guard against that, specifically. (There will always be more "unfortunate physics", for example I bet that the hard disk also fails if I smash it against a wall at 100mph, but nobody's going do care designing a consumer HD that stops exhibiting that specific behavior.)
It works like our own minds in that we also think, test, go back, try again. This doesn't seem like a failing but just a recognition that thought can proceed in that way.
The other aspect of this is it's literally impossible to hire someone from industry already familiar with your home grown SDLC systems. But you can find plenty of "cloud engineers" who do understand these "complex" cloud systems who can deploy and maintain them via terraform. It's a turn-key skill set.
As long as that's separate, meaning the "personal part" of the cloud customer is "a common standard" this is not much a migration issue, if you explicitly develop something with $AVendor APIs, well, that's not a common standard, that's something vendor specific and migrate could mean a total re-write.
I remember around 2005 there were marquee displays in every lobby that showed a sample of recent search queries. No matter how hard folks tried to censor that marquee (I actually suspect no one tried very hard) something hilariously vile would show up every 5-10 mins.

I remember bumping into a very famous US politician in the lobby and pointing that marquee out to him just as it displayed a particularly dank query.

If you've read the news recently, you'd know that in many parts of Spain, tourists are being harassed because the locals have grown tired of the endless masses of people being shipped in. In essence it's a signal to the local government that the issue is not properly managed and that the locals will seek means to push their hand if they don't address it themselves. There are numerous examples of problems, from traffic congestion, low to no living space availability, etc. So in that sense, the question raised by this comment thread is very relevant and indeed something everyone should check these days before travelling — it doesn't matter if you're going to a developed country, you might not be welcome.

> overnment papers to stop printing, inefficiencies to solve, there's economic growth possible.

You’ve got it backwards!

If everyone is very efficient, houses are perfectly insulated and everyone replaces SUVs with bicycles, and has huge savings in the bank

GDP of the country actually goes DOWN in that scenario

Anyhow, the main point stands - if Growth is Zero, economy should be stable, not collapsing. The system should not behave like a drug addict
This is 100% a factor. The internet has some pretty dark and nasty corners; therefore so does the model. Seeing it unfiltered would be a PR nightmare for OpenAI.

So the GPS functionality is meant to communicate back the location over the internet? If all you need is offline music and GPS with maps, an old smartphone without a SIM card is the best option. If you need internet connectivity, an old smartphone is probably still the best option, but with a SIM card. Just lock it down if you're worried about various apps.

Another option would be to buy one of the dedicated kid s̶p̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ tracking devices and tape it to an iPod.
The second example is better than the first, yes. I was thinking about the process more than the fact that painting a study produces a work, and a derived one at that, so more normal copyright considerations apply to the work itself.

> An exact reproduction can't have the same dimensions as the original

This is a rule, not a law, and a traditional and widespread one. Museums don't want to be involved in someone selling a forgery, so that rule is a way of making it unlikely. But the difference between "if you do this a museum will kick you out" and "this is illegal" is fairly sharp.

> The copyright of famous art belongs to the museum.

Not in a great number of cases it doesn't, most famous art is long out of copyright and belongs to the public domain. Museums will have copyright on photos of those works, and have been known to fraudulently claim that photos taken by others owe a license fee to the museum, but in the US at least this isn't true. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/museum-paintings-copyright_b_...

Highly recommend the book "This is your brain on music", as it explores this question (among other interesting things).

According to the author, having separate words for singing and dancing is a relatively new phenomenon in linguistics, and the concept of a performer and an audience as a distinct separation is also relatively recent. He likens it to conversation - sure in any given instance there may be people more or less involved in the dialog of a conversation, but we would all think it very strange if someone said "I only listen to conversations, I don't talk in them" in the way someone today might say "I only listen to music, I don't sing/play/dance".
Not really. You don't need to move wet clothes from the first machine to a second machine if you get one machine that does both jobs. That's very much not AGI. The second job, of taking dry crumpled clothes and folding them, also doesn't need an artificial general intelligence. It's very computationally expensive (as evidenced by the speed of https://pantor.github.io/speedfolding/, out of UC Berkeley) and a hard robotics question, but it's also very fixed function.

Taking the clothes out of the combined washer dryer machine, my laundry folding robot isn't suddenly going to need to come up with a creative answer to a question I have about politics in order to fold the laundry, or come up with a new way to organize my board game collection, or reason about how to refactor some code. There are no logical leaps of reasoning or deep thinking required. My laundry folding robot doesn't need to be creative in order to fold laundry, just application of some very complex algorithms, some of which have yet to be discovered.
I’m serious considering it too…
> No one has figured out how to break out of this cycle once it becomes established.

I don't think that's true. Usually the way you break out of the cycle is to have a major war, pandemic, famine, or genocide, and then the survivors naturally start having more babies once it's clear that they are the survivors and all of their competition for resources has been eliminated.

The Dark Ages were followed by significant population growth in the High Middle Ages, Black Death was followed by population growth of the Rennaissance, population stagnation in Europe became population growth in the United States as the Native American genocide was completed, and WW2 was followed by the Baby Boom.

Depends what you're trying to do, light weight bio weapons are pretty easy to make, not an expert but there is ammonia and chlorine that can be used easily. I presume cytotoxins are among the easier of the "bad ones", but the precursors are monitored. that said, I think the risk here isn't about teaching people how to make the stuff we know about, it's about inventing new stuff we've not thought about?
Show HN: Identify fake news, disinformation and clickbaits with Stampira
Stampira is a community-driven search engine that relies on crowd sourced data to filter the search engine result page (serp) from things such as fake news, fake products, misinformation, disinformation, Clickbaits, scams etc by using dedicated stamps that are diagonally overlayed on the snippet of each search result.

Stampira users can reward genuine websites that publish high quality articles with stamps such as: Well Researched, Well Written, Educative, Informative etc. Users can also revolt against websites that publish biased articles with stamps like: One-sided, Exaggerated, Misleading etc; Users can also flag AI written articles with the "AI-Generated" stamp.

Registered users can select from a variety of stamps that they can use after visiting a website and nonregistered users can still search the web but can't stamp. Currently any website that has the "gov" domain extension can't be stamped, this measure is taken to protect government websites from vandalism and as such will have the "Protected" stamp diagonally overlayed on the snippet by default.

The site will be updated on a daily basis as we begin to gather data on how users interact with the site and how they can potentially abuse it. In some cases we may hide the snippet on the serp to encourage users to read before they stamp.
OpenAI O1 Results on ARC Prize
How is he paying for this?
No, they said that one fewer butt in one particular seat won't make a difference. That's true about everything any one particular individual can do about climate change. You could commit euthanasia and never be responsible for another gram of carbon emitted, and that would not have a measurable effect on CO2 levels.

OP is trying to force a very narrow utilitarian framework in which actions are evaluated based only on their immediate consequences. By that logic, nothing any ordinary, median individual does will directly have a measurable impact on climate change.

The fallacy is that these kinds of boycotts and self-restrictions, which are part of the "religion" OP is objecting to in other replies, is the way to get large numbers of individuals to change their behavior collectively in ways that do measurably impact the bottom line. If demand for air travel drops, fewer planes will burn carbon.

The other fallacy is that utilitarianism is only one way of considering how to act ethically in the world.

All of which follows from this assumption, which I'll grant you were slightly more overt about than the one I criticized:

> The way I see it, if you look at beavers, ants, or trees, they change the landscape but they do it based on behaviors that are encoded in their genes.

Having neatly begged the question of whether a distinction between "human" and "nature" has meaning - in the direction that it does, and on the basis of an understanding no more current than the behaviorism of the 1930s and 40s - you then proceed into the implications of a lot of arithmetic manipulations whose relevance you have declined to establish. So the complexity is wasted, at best without meaning and at worst deceptive by giving the impression of valid reasoning where none exists. (Soundness without validity isn't worthless, but where you aim to describe reality it certainly becomes so.)

To be clear, I don't assume you set out to deceive anyone here or anywhere else. But I have seen the identical technique on occasion deliberately used to that end, and much more often seen people so enthralled with the complexity of their reasoning as to totally overlook the vacuity of the premises from which it proceeds - not always, but mostly, and certainly by all appearances here.

This doesn't render the method totally useless; in my experience, people who hew strongly to it do a good if overly verbose and probably inadvertent job of explaining their own ethical judgment of the world. The trouble is, that's all it's any good for.
