It's the same shit FB pulled. "Oooh oooh our algorithm is so dangerous it can impact elections and destabilize the world! We need regulation because anybody can use it an irresponsibly low price! Please, regulate away these AMAZING DEALS!"

Back when that one dude from Google started telling everyone that they had a sentient AI there was much ballyhooing about its theoretical rights. Then ChatGPT dropped, people learned what an LLM was, and those concerns went pffft like a fart in the wind.

The replication crisis must be addressed but releasing a paper still provides the opportunity to replicate the results. Suggesting that results you dislike can't be trusted, that they won't be replicated because of the replication crisis, and not replicating them doesn't leave much room to learn.

That's kind of the point of releasing the paper - so other people can test and replicate the results.

And yet you still have the Bootstrap Brigade defiantly challenging reality and hollering that avocado toast and lattes are the real culprit.

There were disjoined set pieces that were compelling in isolation but the connective tissue was crap. It would have been better as an anthology series of early Rebel Alliance stories.

It's notable that Turing himself replaced "think" with behavior because of the ambiguity inherent in the term.

There is also the understanding that this knowledge means individuals will be held accountable for their actions. Suggesting that enlisted soldiers are unable to discern right from wrong is not only demeaning, it's ignorant. 2/2

One real differentiator in US armed forces is the systemic respect for enlistees' ability to discern what is and is not a legal order. There is training on what is and is not a legal order because the oath uses SPECIFIC words that have CLEAR meanings, not in spite of it. 1/2

It really would be worth your time to read the article. It's a little long-winded at parts but I doubt it would take you much time to get through.
Long story short, though - "buy a smaller home/rent/pay off debt, and save" is a naive suggestion for many households making 100k/yr.

Wait wait wait hold up - you mean to say that people like stuff that's good? And that the way to make good stuff is to give talented people the resources they need and trust them to do their job? Holy. Fucking. Shitballs. That's amazing. Just... mind blown. Wow.

That doesn't matter. They're not reliant on scraping the internet to create the models. Why do you think AI companies are making multi-year agreements with media organizations and sites like Reddit? To get a trove of up-to-date, structured data.

I'm not sure if this is a misstatement or a misunderstanding, but it's incorrect. Once a model is trained it does not need any additional data to function.

There is something cosmically pathetic about the wealthiest person in the history of our species being so unimaginably fragile that he needs his ego constantly fluffed by a soulless, mindless tool.

I don't know, I think we'll look back fondly on the last true moment of stupid unity. Across the political aisle, from different backgrounds and states, from sea to shining sea, the government united to say, with one voice, "we don't understand this thing our kids like and that scares us."

Yes, because it's the "criminal illegals" who are buying houses over asking, all cash, with no contingencies, doing a shoddy reno job and either flipping them or renting them at exorbitant rates. Curses to all you cash-flush illegals!!

I think it's really Amazon that worries me. The old 24 episodes a season produced some real clunky shit, but it gave the characters room to breath. If they pump out an 8-episode season and don't nail the character beats, Amazon's liable to drop it faster than you can say Wheel of Time.
