Hey did you know documentation also helps humans who may be less experienced with a given project or programming in general? Why haven't we as a profession been more obsessive about writing docs before, when there wasn't a robot that needed the readme?

Are you gonna just ignore all the moral, ethical, and copyright implications of that or have you been paid by OpenAI to write this?

Filip @ftw.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder if those AI companies that raise funds with zero details as to what they want to do are executing some kind of legal dodge. Like, maybe your CEO can't go to prison for misleading investors if you don't tell your investors anything material.

I bet some literary fiction writers wish they could pivot to sci-fi but their agents won't let them

Actually can we keep the AI bubble going until after I've gotten a new mortgage at a decent rate? Thanks

“average guitarist knows three chords” factoid actualy just statistical error. Guitar Georg, who lives in London & knows all the chords, is an outlier and should not have been counted

This is anti-Polish discrimination, because in Polish if you exclude recent loanwords basically everything is pronounced like it's spelled

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 6d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

ironically, the whole Riyadh Comedy Festival has given me a worse opinion of every one of those comedians except Pete Davidson. there's something to be said for without shame demanding, "you guys kinda killed my dad, I'm gonna need $2 million for an hour's work."

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Imagine selling someone a product and saying "yeah but don't expect immediate results". Pretty much only works with certain pharmaceuticals

So if a person breaks traffic law they get a fine, but if a robot does it, the company that owns it gets a "notice of non-compliance" which doesn't sound like it has a financial penalty attached? I'm glad we're clarifying two tier policing I guess

Keir Starmer but is an empty suit, a compliant moderate-right useful idiot for whoever he's met last. He's a large language model trained on Blair and Cameron governments. He'll do the usual thing of setting up the instruments of oppression for the next lot, the openly evil ones.
