If I understand correctly, the only reason they’re in such low orbit, and thus why there needs to be so fucking many of them, is to have much lower latency compared to geostationary satellites. You know, in case you need to play Quake on your satellite connection.


So like, do we think they outright lie about peer review, or are they asking people with no ressources and better things to do whose reviews consist of plopping the paper into chatgpt?




Ohh, good advice. If you’re infected with covid, I also recommend you make sure to take adequate breaths.


So… They’re going to use the bot trained on wikipedia to rewrite wikipedia. Very much a Pierre Menard type situation.



That OpenAI haven't recalled their product after it's been involved in several violent deaths, that it would even be absurd to suggest they should recall it, really highlights how corrupt and disgusting the industry and the whole structure propping it up are.


tfw your gifted child syndrome resentment of adults is powerful enough to make you forget about your life's work


Yes dude, that's the main thing you should be concerned about of course. AI tools couldn't possibly be bad in and of themselves, it has to be human tampering. You've always been very clear about that part.


The old chestnut that really these days it's women who hold all the power is as old as times. I saw an instance in Perrault's introduction to the tale of Griselidis (1691) and I'm sure you can go much further back. Not sure why we ever even bothered with voting rights, reproductive freedom, or personhood.


Ugh what is it with misogynists and compulsively writing out this nonsense again and again? Just want to punch him on the nose. Make it stop.

I think that §2 (“appearance-based sexual attraction”) will be the part that’s more centrally relevant for cis men (and most trans women)

God I looked into the article this is meant to illustrate, and I have feelings. The idea this mysterious, evocative short story is something to be solved, and that he's somehow cracked the code. And it must be precisely about Dracula. Don't ask yourself why the name comes from Proust, and why the style and themes are so heavily proustian. Proust is not genre literature, it isn't in communication with the literature of ideas, which means it is of no value. Gene Wolfe is genre literature, so the story must be about vampires, and nothing else. Any literary depth is mere distraction, a ruse meant to mislead you and have you fail the test. Can't wait for the rationalist Pale Fire remake!!!





Yeah I couldn't find the strength to even get to the naughty stuff, I gave up after one or two chapters. And I've read through all of HPMOR. 😐


Everyone can also agree that the direct jump from GPT-4o and o3 to GPT-5 was not of similar size to the jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4

Sure babe, you keep telling yourself that.


I'm sorry, I believe that there are legitimate artistic uses of neural networks (and they're never about cutting budget), but this is just fascist aesthetics repurposed to serve anti-Trump messaging. Do not like.


I'm sorry, as in the awful no-effort MIDIs played through a "medieval" soundfont youtube spammed me with? Jesus Christ that's embarrassing.

I don't recall having some sort of a wow experience like "damn, I'm a conscious human being" now ever, which kind of makes me question if I'm conscious even now.

I'm also in the same boat. But also, I think that we can only experience consciousness with our whole being, and there's not much "compute" and bandwidth left even amongst fully grown adults - to verify if even the baseline "adult" consciousness that we're experiencing is the baseline "real and complete adult state of consciousness" that everyone is definitely experiencing. And so we're left to ponder some subset of the thing we want to understand and control fully.

I mean, the "consciousness" that you and I experience, as adults, are almost certainly reduced or different compared to what, say, Scott experiences daily. Neither you nor I (nor most people) can write like Scott can, but Scott bangs out riveting and beautiful pieces of writing effortlessly at least once a week and wonders why everyone else can't.

Jesus Christ mate


God this is so fucking stupid. Aren't these people supposed to be at least minimally smart in some way, like knowing about biases and things? And here they are trying to suss out the deep workings of conscious experience from the just-so narratives people have attached to their memories of memories of memories. Pathetic.


From the wikipedia page

In October 2020, Klarna mistakenly sent a marketing email to people who had never disclosed their contact information to Klarna.

That's, um, ... Unfortunate? What an interesting mistake to make.



Fascinating, thank you. Love the Church of Euthanasia's antics but I'm not surprised, it's always looked very silly 'n' bad ideologically.


I can't tell if Emalee and Subrina are special phonetic spellings for the robot or if this is what names are now...


I thought Tesla explicitly says you can’t do it on a normal road cause, well, it doesn’t fucking work.

Maybe officially Tesla does, but the feature is called "Full Self-Driving" and Elon Musk sure as shit wants his marks to believe you can input a destination and let your car drive you all the way through.

So, yes, Tesla should at the very least lose their business licence over this.



Wow cool numbers, love to put all unions in one big bag regardless of goals, ideology, trade and mode of action.



Yeah but they all like things poor people like, like wrestling, and farts! We can't have that!


Claude does not claim that it does not have subjective experiences, sentience, emotions, and so on in the way humans do. Instead, it engages with philosophical questions about AI intelligently and thoughtfully.

lol


Free speech is the perfect exemple of a formal liberty anyway. Materially it is entirely meaningless in a society where access to speech is so unequal, and not something worth fighting for in the absolute sense. Fight against the effective censorship of good ideas and minority perspectives instead.



It's going to be awesome when American Neo-Guantanamo residents start jumping the wall to get health care.



what a strange way to sell your grift no one knows what it's for. "bad people want to force me to tell you what it is we're building."
