On hacker news everything is 0% or 100%.

Those tickets are only in companies that haven't learned the bitter lesson.

least cyberpunk 2023 shit

It's not even clear whether two humans are experiencing the same flavor or taste when they agree that a food is "sweet"

OK but that's like criticizing every science result by saying "how did they control for the possibility that I'm a vat brain and nothing they did was real"

What if freshly caught songbirds taste sweet to them? Are we saying we know their qualia?

The choice to have children is usually not an economic consideration.

This is obviously the nicer sounding position but I wonder if it's the true one.

We can do it my FTX brothers.

he just like me fr fr

Maybe there could be a publicly funded virtual liver project.

Is this AI safety?

"AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real.

    -: AI is unsafe because it isn't capable enough
    +: AI is unsafe because it's too capable

If someone wants the data but doesn't want to read a pdf wall, here are the important numbers:

The mothers of 54 non-autistic boys were surveyed, and 7.4% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 67 non-autistic girls were surveyed, and 17.9% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 140 autistic boys were surveyed, and 19.3% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 28 autistic girls were surveyed, and 10.7% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

They did some analysis that was supposed to control for income, education, ethnicity, and geographical location to get the odds ratios and confidence intervals that other people are commenting.

I wanna know: where's the AI advocates? The people who are speaking in favor of AI now are just doing so because they think it will make them rich. Where's the people welcoming the bot overlords? Why aren't they working to make our future be the shape they think it should be?

The call themselves e/acc. Chad effective accelerationists, making fun of the virgin effective altruism movement. They encompass a wide variety of degrees of irony like early flat earth society or early donald trump fans and they will probably end up similarly, where the movement becomes completely unironic and the ones who participated ironically get bored and do other things.

Parasites in general have shrunken genomes.

AI safety is some different things. One are the grifters trying to make money from fear. Others actually think that capable enough AI will irreversibly change our way of life in a bad way. For corporations AI safety just means brand risk and PR like not making another "Tay". For yet another group of people AI safety means the continuation of culture war stuff in the AI space.

I’m starting to think there’s an LLM equivalent to the old saying about how everything the media writes is accurate except on the topics you’re an expert in.

This is true for media articles but for LLMs I feel like it's the opposite. Like people who aren't specialists don't fully appreciate how great it is at those tasks.

So when AI is better at humans at everything, the takeaway will be that humans weren't so great after all?

high effort blogpost

put a mandelbrot on your cover letter

My theory is that it's a kind of math that LLMs can do. Not that LLMs are necessarily doing it, but the same thing that makes it easy for LLMs also makes it easy for certain people. They can repeat words and phrases that they hear, and sometimes even rearrange them into new forms! One time some category theory guys were struggling with something and it was equivalent to topological sort in computer science. But the way they were failing at solving it sounded much more impressive!

No.

They are designing the Niemann AI chess beads but for real this time.

this is a clickbait marketing blogspam for their company

It's not snake oil any more than 'technical writing' or other writing proficiencies are snake oil.

Does that mean if I've been contributing anonymously I've been robbed of every contribution?

I likely write a follow up post about my criteria and reserach and perhaps a follow up review if I end up pulling the trigger.

I feel like people who use the phrase 'pulling the trigger' in this way have an unhealthy relationship with shopping. They are shopping for dopamine and they are like the ones who have a hundred of the same hat and when they need more dopamine they buy that hat again.

Just to be clear you are saying that this title isn't clickbait?

I feel like this title would have gotten a lot less attention here if it wasn't for all the lusts.

You wouldn't download a car.

they found a wisdom tooth that had once belonged to one of the individuals whose bones were found

What if the reason we have problems with wisdom teeth is that some of us have neanderthal sized teeth but a homo sapiens sized jaw.
