I suppose it depends on how full color the terminal output is, and how well the GIF is encoded.

I think you're probably correct for this case you can get something smaller.

Nevertheless, the movie has sound, which a GIF (AFAIK) can only do if part of a e.g. an html page...and now you have non-standard browsers to deal with vs just using an mp4.
AI Art can be hard to identify in the wild. But it still largely sucks at helping you achieve specific deliverables. You can get an image. But it’s pretty hard to actually make specific images in specific styles. Yes we have Loras. Yes we have control nets (to varying degrees) and ipadapter (to lesser degrees) and face adapters and what not. But it’s still frustrating to get something consistent across multiple images. Especially in illustrated styles.

AI Art is good if you need something in a general ballpark and don’t care about the specifics
Right, but I think it should change. I think consumers should have a say when a website wants to compute things that are out of scope for a normal page of text/information. I certainly dont want my laptop hot, slow, an poorly responsive because some news site's borderline malware is running several poorly built and implemented models that aim to track and predict my behaviour from mouse movement etc.
> could Einstein systematically

Did (could) Einstein think about things long and hard? Yes - that is how he explained having solved problems ("How did you do it?" // "I thought about long and hard").

The artificial system in question should (1) be able to do it, and (2) do it systematically, because it is artificial.
> Specifically, I don’t like them because they show really vague percentages or “scores” where it’s very unclear what specific benchmarks are being used.

It think it's a good overview over various technical data and benchmark results. Benchmarks are linked.

> that shouldn’t guide purchase decisions like ... More modern manufacturing process – 3 versus 6 nanometers

Actually that's influencing buying decisions and gives an idea what kind of efficiency a CPU might be able to deliver. I have various M processor machines from Apple and a CPU on the recent 3 nanometer TSMC process has advantages over a 6 nm process. For example the newer M CPUs are more power efficient & smaller and some of that enables the M4 series of chips to be ahead of the rest in terms of efficiency. Over time other CPUs will move to such 3nm processes. I've seen that with the M4 in the iPad Pro and now with the M4 Pro in the new Macs.

> I much prefer the more in-depth tests

That serves a very different purpose. I like both in-depth tests and tabular comparisons between CPUs.

Claude also more readily corrects me or answers "no" to a question (when the answer should be "no").
It absolutely is.

Russia’s ideology is based on the works of such. Look at the quote in the comments above. Dostoevsky approves any sin and logically derives that it will be forgotten. He does not merely condone sin, he rationalizes it, and in doing so, lays bare the grim inevitability of its absolution in the collective psyche.

Living in Kyiv, we were shocked, how a regular person can commit such crimes in a modern day effortlessly, and you can see how - by reading the mind of a russian in the form of a great prose.

Dostoevsky is a window into a sick mind of a crippled nation where death and torture is normalized and the life had no value for at least a millennia.

It is an ideological base of a russian culture, its code, captured by the mastermind who was able to feel it thoroughly.

Small countries are ignored on most metrics because they heavily skew to extremes, so aren’t useful.

I saw Russia being slightly higher but figured it was marginal and “we emit slightly less than a petrostate in the middle of bombing the fuck out of their neighbour” was hardly a “win” for the USA…

I would add, especially in the case of Twitter, active users that aren't bots, OF advertisers, scammers, and the like. A LOT of Twitter feels like machines talking to each other.
Possible? Yes. Practical? No

It is possible because training is already being done using distributed methods in the datacenter. It is not practical because of the sheer volume of network delay piled on top of the computation
The biggest things are the number of "clicks" required to get to a particular podcast, the long-ish loading times after those clicks, and some little papercuts like RSS feeds not updating unless you click the "search" button, then click "search" to force it to refresh. I also get a lot of server crashes as a result of various issues consuming RSS feeds. I can't use ABS for maybe 30% of the podcasts I listen to because of that. I do love having the podcast episodes downloaded automatically onto my host though. That's an absolutely killer feature and for that alone I have some podcasts I really care about still on there.

FTR, I absolutely love Aubiobookshelf. It's an amazing project and I recommend it without hesitation to everyone. I think some or all of those will be fixed eventually, but it may take a bit of time. I do wonder if the ideal UI for books may just not be a good fit for podcasts, though I would need to think on that quite a bit before coming to such a conclusion.
As a commander in chief of the IDF, what would have you done differently?

Publically resign, denouncing my government's decades of bungling, hardheadedness and general heartlessness in the face of the situation that it has, in the scheme of things, largely created for itself. Ideally, also transferring as many incriminating documents, images/videos and datasets as possible to the ICC/ICJ and/or respected journalists as would be appropriate and helpful to the broader cause of building a just and lasting peace in the region.
There are no problems that can be solved only by Turing Machines as any Turing complete system can simulate any other Turing complete system.

The point of UTM's is not to ever use them, but that they're a shortcut to demonstrating Turing completeness because of their simplicity. Once you've proven Turing completeness, you've proven that your system can compute all Turing computable functions and simulate any other Turing complete system, and we don't know of any computable functions outside this set.

I think AI isn’t the same as crypto or metaverse.

The LLMs and image generation models have obvious utility. They’re not AGI or anything wild like that, but they are legitimately useful, unlike crypto.

VR didn’t fail, it just wasn’t viral. Current VR platforms are still young.
The internet commercially failed in 2001, but look at it now.

Crypto the industry, imo, is a big pyramid scheme. The technology has some interesting properties, but the industry is scammy for sure.

Metaverse wasn’t even an industry, it was a buzzword for MMOs during a time when everyone was locked at home. Not really interesting.

I don’t think it’s wise to lump every market boom together. Not everything is a scam.
It almost seems like NYT is favoring one of these platforms over the other.
> If someone starts copying my likeness, mannerisms, writing style, etc. they could also use that to damage my reputation or harm my relations with other people. I think that those two possibilities represent irreparable harms with no associated business value.

There's 8 billion people on the planet. Unless you're a celebrity, this is not a real problem for you at this point (and if you are, it's a business problem).

There's no way for a large model learning on the entirety of the Internet to somehow convert "copying likeness, mannerisms, writing style, etc." into damaging your reputation; doing that is something hyper-targeted, and at this point (and in conceivable future), there's no middle ground between "plausible deniability" and "someone targeting you specifically, which they could do just as well in pre-AI times".

You're also not as unique as you think. There are many people with same mannerism, many people with same writing style, etc. Nor are those things constant over time.

The flip side of not being a unique snowflake is also that anyone's contributions to the public Internet are, for purposes of AI training, worth approximately $0 on the margin, and impact the model just as much. It's in the volume of data that the patterns emerge that LLMs learn, volume too big for any person to be entitled to a meaningful part of it.
Nice to see all this discussion. That was kinda my point in the OP, taking only LLNL as an example. Whether or not the result is significant isn't the main thing; main point is: an advanced society would have so much interest in fusion power, it would be front-page news, beyond or on par with sports or celebrity news. How to make it happen, challenges, how to help, and so on.

The gate picture has the same problem as as the cat one that he didn't filter out. There's a lot going on, and the lighting does seem to be one of the somewhat-inconsistent issues IMO, but it's just generally weird about why there's cats of all different sizes, why some of the smallest cats have the same coloring as the biggest ones, but some don't, what's going on with the arms of the two darker cats on the right, why aren't the sides of the throne symmetric, etc.

Everything is consistent in terms of "the immediate pixels surrounding it" but the picture as a whole is just "throw a LOT at the wall."

It passes the "looks cool" test but fails the "how likely would a human be to paint that particular composition" test.

You are making the mistake of assuming that ethnicities are disjoint categories that remain immutable over generations.

Russification has been going on for 1000+ years. Often organically, and often by forced policies. People abandon their languages and cultures and adopt Russian language, culture, and ultimately identity, until one day their descendants are ethnic Russians. Some maintain the ethnic identities of their ancestors, but many – often most – don't.

> If you run a company and ask me for an estimate on when software will be ready because the rest of the company depends on it

This is only one framing. The rest of the company might not depend on it, but they also have work to do that might be best done in parallel instead of serially.

A really basic example: I’m the CEO, and I’m speaking at some industry event. I want to know if feature X will be ready so I can announce it at the event, or will should we prepare something else. Engineering is going to need to back into an estimate so that the rest of the org can prepare for a calendar date — marketing, sales, whoever is writing the presentation, whoever is printing the materials for our booth. This is a totally reasonable ask of an engineering org without it being as high stakes as “this is a massive bet on our ability to estimate software timelines”

Other parts of the org also have deliverables, and ensuring those deliverables can be coordinated to land at roughly predictable times is the job of management. It seems unfathomably crazy to imply that software is some magical discipline that is immune from having to set expectations.
Ignorance is really not a virtue.

If you suspect that you're being lied to by the consensus, feel free to read alternatives by heterodox scholars. I suspected that they're crank.

It's not like I particularly agree with the way things work now, only that we shouldn't make things worse by making obviously stupid moves in the wrong direction.
I guess that is true, pure replication would not allow you to correct errors, only detect them.

However, I think explaining the concept as duplicating some data isn’t horrible wrong for non technical people. It is close enough to allow the person to understand the concept.

Oh yes, but that ship sailed really fast. The idea would start from RTF files, but by the time we hit the market, the distribution channel would be gone.
> It's the same thing humans do with their own art.

How so? Humans distributed all those "I filtered them out because they were too obvious" AI ones that aren't in the test too. So they passed someone's "is this something that should get released" test.

What we aren't seeing is human-generated art that nobody would confuse with a famous work - which of course there is a lot of out there - but IMO it generally looks "not famous" in very different ways. More "total execution issues" vs detail issues.
LLMs "don't act on their own" because we only reanimate them when we want something from them. Nothing stops you from wiring up an LLM to keep generating, and feeding it sensory inputs to keep it processing. In other words, that's a limitation of the harness we put them in, not of LLMs.

As for people communicating each step, we have plenty of experiments showing that it's pretty hard to get people to reliably report what they actually do as opposed to a rationalization of what they've actually done (e.g. split brain experiments have shown both your brain halves will happily lie about having decided to do things they haven't done if you give them reason to think they've done something)

You can categorically not trust peoples reasoning about "why" they've made a decision to reflect what actually happened in their brain to make them do something.
>That doesn't really explain how they know to find this place, decades after the last time any member of their species visited it.

Because that's not what happened. These fish managed to get there because it was a good place for them to go, not because they were 'returning' to a place they had been before. The 'return' in the title is more about the fact that they are coming back to fill a niche in an area fish were blocked from, not that these specific fish were returning to a place they had been before. It almost seems like they were intentionally muddying the waters with the language used.
Not 100% sure, but I think they might have meant Ukraine when they said “us”
I mean, AI truly doesn’t want to destroy us, it can’t f*king think.

The “tech bros” controlling AI don’t want to destroy us either but they’re not against if it means $$, they’re indifferent.

And the ad money only keeps flowing harder than it did last quarter if they do destroy us, so it’s a pretty easy choice to destroy society for an easy buck.

of course this is a simplified version of real life that doesn’t take foreign influence and stuff like that into account.

>It's broken! A partially broken process is no solid foundation to build others on. And while there are some exceptions, an unreliable tool/agent is often worse than none at all.

Are humans broken ? Because our reasoning is a very broken process. You say it's no solid foundation ? Take a look around you. This broken processor is the foundation of society and the conveniences you take for granted.

The vast vast majority of human history, there wasn't anything even remotely resembling a non-broken general reasoner. And you know the funny thing ? There still isn't. When people like you say LLMs don't reason, they hold them to a standard that doesn't exist. Where is this non-broken general reasoner in anywhere but fiction and your own imagination?

>And while there are some exceptions, an unreliable tool/agent is often worse than none at all.

Since you are clearly meaning unreliable to be 'makes no mistake/is not broken' then no human is a reliable agent.
Clearly, the real exception is when an unreliable agent is worse than nothing at all.
I have a similar type of product that depends on a third party and I use LLMs to automate most of the work. I feed it batches of Discord/Discourse messages from the third party’s community along with a prompt containing my feature set and it flags messages that might be relevant so that I can reply to them (manually, although the LLM generates some starting points based on examples replies).

The false positive rate at first was over 50% but with some prompt tweaks and back testing, it’s approaching 10-20%
He took a bunch of time off because of public pressure. Was never the same.
Totally agree, and I think your example is a good one at demonstrating the importance of communicating an estimate across a range so that stakeholders aren’t caught off guard when something blows up, and also of distinguishing between the estimate and a commitment.

The process for what happens when something does blow up (we both know something will) is a good thing to establish, and as you say, re-communicate instead of trying to sneak in a fix.

You are forgetting one important use case: defining classes dynamically. You have to count not only every class (including inner classes) of every dependency, but also all classes created at runtime through direct bytecode manipulation.

Based on what I've empirically seen out in the world most people posting AI art are not using the same filtering as the author of this test. Plus the human choices used probably skew more towards what people think of as classic AI art than all human art as a whole.

The test was interesting to read about, but it didn't really change my mind about AI art in general. It's great for generating stock images and other low engagement works, but terrible as fine art that's meant to engage the user on any non-superficial level.
It's not "dismissive" or a "disservice" to say which things I found harder in my 35yrs experience.

I also say C++ is "harder" than Java, and that's not "dismissive" of Java devs. lol. I AM a Java dev. I did C++ for 10 years followed by Java for 25 yrs after that, so I feel justified to have opinions. I could also say Assembly Language was hardest of all but I won't because it might be "dismissive" of any easily-offended C++ devs. :)

>While most salmon do return to the place of their birth

I wonder to what degree that is even true. Like sure they probably return to the same rivers, but how far up the river they swim is likely unrelated to where they were actually born. If you extend that river further or introduce side streams that didn't exist when they were born, they're probably just as likely to end up in one of those places.
