It’s a fact that the guidelines are bendy. It’s a fact that comments that break guidelines but have a liberal sentiment get flagged and danged much, much less often than the same comments with conservative sentiment. That is a fact and I invite everyone who reads this censored and flagged comment to see for themselves.

Watt hours are the most widely used unit for energy in science and engineering ...

This comment blatantly breaks the guidelines and yet nobody flags it. But when I make a benign comment that has a pro-conservative sentiment, it’s instantly flagged and responded to by Dan.

Offline classes aren’t worth the cost of full tuition...

These results are literally unexpected. The consensus of all the experts in 2010 was that none of this could possibly happen in the next ten years. The way these results were arrived at are unintuitive which probably has to do with why they were so utterly unexpected. The broad effort to mine “algorithm space,” which includes many different ML agents and other things, is producing results that were not expected. This is just a fact. There is no way around this. Just accept it and move on.

It’s obvious that the surprises will keep coming. We slowly close in on the algorithms that bring the silicon to its full potential. The real question is what is at the bottom? We keep digging and with more compute and more data eventually we will find that the stuff near the bottom is important and dangerous.

The fact that gtp3 has x flaw has absolutely no logical intersection with this. It’s basically unrelated.

So under your logic we won’t have any idea that we are close to having agi until we have a machine that can reason... which is agi. You are missing the big picture

And precisely none of what you just said addresses my point.

Were you alive in 2010?

You don’t know the distance! And you are conflating distances! Distance between agi behavior and gtp3 behavior has nothing to do with the distance in time between the invention of gtp3 and agi. That’s a deceptive intuition and fuzzy thinking... again my point is that the “behavior distance” between AIM chat bots and gtp3 would, under your scrutiny, lead to a prediction of a much larger “temporal distance” than 10 years. Nit-picking about particular things that this particular model can’t do is completely missing the big picture.

You don’t understand how it works. You can’t explain how the model works. Go ahead and correct me if I’m wrong.

I am totally confused by people not being impressed with gtp3. If you asked 100 people in 2015 tech industry if these results would be possible in 2020, 95 would say no, not a chance in hell. Nobody saw this coming. And yet nobody cares because it isn’t full blown AGI. That’s not the point. The point is that we are getting unintuitive and unexpected results. And further, the point is that the substrate from which AGI could spring may already exist. We are digging deeper and deeper into “algorithm space” and we keep hitting stuff that we thought was impossible and it’s going to keep happening and it’s going to lead very quickly to things that are too important and dangerous to dismiss. People who say AGI is a hundred years away also said GO was 50 years away and they certainly didn’t predict anything even close to what we are seeing now so why is everyone believing them?

By voting through feel-good proposals that are ultimately misinformed and destructive. It’s happening anyway through our indirect democracy but at a slower rate.

There are laws to prevent felons from having guns. Most people who murder with guns are felons. Some people want to make more laws to restrict gun ownership even further. So in the future maybe people who haven’t gotten a training certificate and who have not passed various tests cannot own a gun. In this case, people who carry around pistols might be seen almost as an extension of the police force who only become active in the most extreme situations where police are not available, because they are so thoroughly screened and trained. The man who head-shifted a terrorist in a Texas church comes to mind.

In this scenario, the number of guns carried by criminals would stay the same. And the amount of people murdered by guns will be the same. You know why? Because stop and frisk is racist. According to everyone, stopping people for 2 minutes to check them for guns is abhorrent, racist and evil. So criminals will always have guns in this country. There is no reason to pass laws one way or another.

Some say that stop and frisk is unconstitutional. I think I agree with this. So it follows that it is embedded in the constitution that criminals will be carrying around pistols. There is no changing this. I think that the only reasonable response is to allow ordinary people who are not criminals, not obviously insane and etc to carry pistols. It’s written in the constitution that we are allowed to do something like that. So if liberals want to be constitutionalists about stop and frisk, then conservatives have the right to be constitutionalists about carrying guns. If criminals are allowed to carry guns in practice then it is only reasonable to let their victims carry guns too.

Didn’t read the article but I met a Swiss guy at a hostel the other day. He told me how citizens can prompt a vote on almost any issue — almost a direct democracy, in his words. He said that a vote was successfully prompted to limit the gap between the salaries of ceos and low level employees. It was voted down. My only remark was that if the United States had a system like that, the country would promptly destroy itself.

The idea that someone would opt out of downloading Elon masks or Jeff bezos’ DMs is insane. Completely and perfectly insane. Not to mention the other people. Even if just in terms of profit, clearly the dms of the richest man in the world have enough value to just click download. It seems like the probability of this guy passing it up due to lack of interest is very small. Slightly more likely is that he was overwhelmed by the massive implications of having this access and simply didn’t think to do it in the rush to do something before his source chickened out or realized what was going on. And most likely to me is that he simply couldn’t do it because of a higher level of security associated with verified accounts, hence why none of the accounts were verified. He wasn’t able to do anything with trumps twitter so I suspect that for certain high profile accounts, there is a much higher level of security that this guys source couldn’t override.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Rust is not faster than c or anything else necessarily that is not garbage collected. It is almost as fast, and it has memory safety and as is made apparent in this thread many advantages in terms of usability and undefined behavior. Being the quickest i s not something rust is known for. So you wouldn’t be saving milliseconds. And calling an api is pretty simple so the security aspect wouldn’t be of much use. So you are wrong and the guy you are responding to is right.

I also got ptsd in a domestic setting. Please remember it gets better with time. I’m sure you already know this, but MDMA has been shown to be effective in treating ptsd. I was personally able to get rid of most of the symptoms with large doses of propranolol. Try both of those before killing yourself.
