Anyone who gets uncomfortable with government surveillance because it could be used to target certain demographics of people needs to look no further than what Israel has done to prove their point.

The only thing stopping the world from autonomously targeting people by online demographic is common human decency, and humanity is running on very short supply of that these days.

Because it really doesn’t. For most tasks, it would require more human energy to do the work than an LLM, just because we are much slower at it than an AI. I mean, humans operate at around 80 W just by existing (basal metabolic rate).

If the AI is powered by renewables, it’s cleaner than humans. If it’s powered by fossil fuels, it’s likely much worse (though I haven’t run the calculations).

Now obviously, this presumes that the output of an AI is even valuable at all, which is often not the case.

Makes sense. AAA games are finance projects more than creative projects. Yeah there’s a lot of art and writing and stuff, but it’s all calibrated to make the most money and anything that threatens it is jettisoned. This makes them formulaic to a fault.

Indie games are passion projects, so you see a lot of weird stuff out there. Most of them are utter failures, financially, but the ones that survive are truly something special.

Spatial reasoning has always been a weakness of LLMs. Other symptoms include the inability to count and no concept of object permanence.

I mean, it still could be. But LLMs are not that AGI we’re expecting.

“Don’t believe that marketing department“ is one of those things everybody needs to learn at some point in their life.

Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.

I don’t think I suggested it wasn’t worrisome, just that it’s expected.

If you think about it, AI is tuned using RLHF, or Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. That means the only thing AI is optimizing for is “convincingness”. It doesn’t optimize for intelligence, anything seems like intelligence is literally just a side effect as it forever marches onward towards becoming convincing to humans.

“Hey, I’ve seen this one before!” You might say. Indeed, this is exactly what happened to social media. They optimized for “engagement”, not truth, and now it’s eroding the minds of lots of people everywhere. AI will do the same thing if run by corporations in search of profits.

Left unchecked, it’s entirely possible that AI will become the most addictive, seductive technology in history.

Turns out it doesn’t really matter what the medium is, people will abuse it if they don’t have a stable mental foundation. I’m not shocked at all that a person who would believe a flat earth shitpost would also believe AI hallucinations.

Sensationalist headline about science fiction.

No shit it’s “possible” despite being hopelessly beyond today’s technology.

• Exclusive mobile UI with touch controls

What a weird way to phrase that.

Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.

I suspect you are all too right.

I am self-employed. So myself, I guess.

It’s risk/reward. If brain chips made me twice as productive or intelligent, I’d probably tolerate a lot more risk than if it was just a way to check my Instagram notifications without pulling out my phone.

Is a killer a good person?

Well yeah, sometimes! It is very context dependent.

Not all AI is made equally. There are locally-run Apache licensed LLMs.

AI, please write my thesis in the style of Shakespeare. Good luck detecting THAT as AI writing.

2 person classes would be a dream compared to the overburdened 30+ person classes of today. You get half of a private tutor? Hell yeah.

Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.
