polytely

bad guys doing bad stuff with the model is a worthwhile thing to watch out for, but for me the big question is mostly how these labs are going to make sure that these models will not collapse society. Like mass unemployment + ability to generate incredible amounts of propaganda and disinfo, seems to me like a recipe for incredible amounts of bloodshed. like to me the biggest risks look like Khmer Rouge-ing: "all people who know what matrix multiplication is get the wall"; or something like: Boston Dynamics killbots doing tiananmen square every day.

Of course Americans want us to dismantle the EU, we are even weaker against US influence without it.

strong disagree, as a user the recent updates have been awesome and immediately useful.

Godot is such a nice project, I feel like almost every release brings stuff with it that is directly useful for me. It feels like the main contributors there are really on the ball.

they should try and replace some executives with AI, seems like there is way more room for improvement there.

They probably also have an insane dataset

can you give an example of being defrauded? I don't really know what people mean when they say that.

I don't want AI to fail but I would like to see Altman anf Musk fail for example. I'm very uneasy with the power hungry silicon valley freaks that are running the show at these labs/companies. Hassabis seems like the only one that is not actually Evil.

I really should get back to playing some more with raku, it was a fun experience the last time I messed around with it. Feels very expressive, like it will support any harebrained scheme you come up with.

it sort of makes sense to me, when asking a question to an expert in the field while you are a student. I would guess the successful interactions on average would be more polite . Like for example if you were asking a question to donald knuth or terrence tao, you'd probably be polite while doing so. Being hostile while asking questions gets you into forum discussion territory.

Yeah Raku feels so expressive and lovely to me with the help of an AI assistant. I've only done toy programs and scripts with it but it is actually so nice.

Working in C# i feel basically still read code structure by the visual block structure / indentation. I dont think I've ever counted braces in my professional life. The IDE makes sure it is formatted correctly and ambiguity is basically impossible.

Thank you for preserving this piece of internet history, I have fond memories of playing these as a kid. Awesome stuff

For me how cheap it is makes it much more comfortable for me to just take it with me whenever I travel. My other e-reader is a Kobo Sage but it is so expensive that I'm way more careful with it. And I feel like the weight is seriously underrated as a selling point. It barely feels like a piece of tech.

This is so well put, and it not only happens on the user level but also on the organisational level. Where you can completely abdicate both responsibility and explanation by moving the complicated questions into the black box of an AI model.

I haven't read any of his other stuff but I'm very interested in this subject in particular so I'm going pick this up as soon as it is available

Automated tests are already the output of these specs, and specs cover way more than what you cover with code.

ok but how are you sure that the AI is correctly turning the spec into tests. if it makes a mistake there and then builds the code in accordance with the mistaken test you only get the Illusion of a correct implementation

unironically yes, I think with the huge payday they get for being responsible for Microsoft they should also carry an equivalent responsibility when they cause social harms. Billionaires have gotten way too comfortable.

when i use claude opus via opencode/openrouter i'm sometimes suprised by how quickly costs can get out of hand. What are the costs of running openClaw, it seems like it would get crazy expensive crazy fast?

torture not being that effective has never stopped the US government before

I've been using one of these and it is very good.

Very cool visualization, worked great on firefox mobile too which isn't always the case with these types of things.

They run a tight AI ship but it is in their interest to destroy the web so that people can only get to data through their language model

as someone who is sort of a medior programmer it is very hard to balance, trying to keep up with the advancements in AI while not shooting myself in the foot by robbing myself of learning experiences

A game where seeing a single screenshot ruins the experience wasn't very substantial to begin with.

I don't think that follows at all, I'm currently working through Blue Prince and the way in which that game gives you information later on which completely recontextualizes things you have encountered earlier makes it so that a screenshot of something could definitely rob you of experiencing that moment, which is a big part of the joy of that game.

I feel like I'm still a couple steps behind in skill level as my lead and is trying to gain more experience I do wonder if I am shooting myself in the foot if I rely too much on AI at this stage. The senior engineer I'm trying to learn from can very effectively use ai because he has very good judgement of code quality, I feel like if I use AI too much I might lose out on chance to improve my judgement. It's a hard dilemma.

The RAF does a lot of flights over Gaza so the UK is actually involved, and the big focus in the UK is on Elbit systems who makes parts for the planes that bomb Gaza. The UK government isn't materially supporting the Iranian regime as far as I can tell

I wonder if having a feel for musical timing works similarly where a brain wave frequency determines how 'thight' your sense of timing is. Would be sick if you could improve that aspect of musicality with stimulation

The whole point of those books was to explore the places where those laws produced unexpected behaviour, so they are clearly not sufficient. I would argue those books are actually about demonstrating that it is very hard to build an ethical system out of rules.

If the US would suffer more than the EU we should do it. A less powerful US would be a boon for the world.
