they do seem to have blocked reddit and twitter

where did you get the idea that gpt4 is capable of this? this is concerns for 10+ years from now, assuming AI makes the same strides is has in the past 10 years, which is not guaranteed at all.

I think there are probably 3-5 big leaps still required, on the order of the invention of transformer models, deep learning, etc., before we have superintelligence.

Btw humans are also bad at arithmetic. That’s why we have calculators. if you don’t understand that LLMs use RAG, langchain (or similar), and so on, you clearly don’t understand the scope of the problem. Superintelligence doesn’t need access to anything in particular except, say, email or chat to destroy the world.

Yeah, this is a very compelling take.

AI could kill everyone, though it most likely won’t IMO. 10% chance I think. That’s still very bad though. Despite the fact that Ilya Sutskever, Geoff Hinton, MIRI, heck even Elon Musk have expressed varying degrees of concern about this, it seems the risk here is largely dismissed because it sounds too much like science fiction. If only science fiction writers had avoided the topic!

i appreciate this philosophically, but it’s not really the pragmatic answer I was looking for.

thank you for the thoughtful response. you’re right.

I don’t know about this. How much energy is really spent processing this kind of consumer data? how much of that comes from dirty energy sources?

The sad thing is, given physical isolation these days, we’ll all be executed alone.

YouTube has a network effect monopoly as well. Who would use a competing service?

really depends on the context. if i’m showing off my cosplay, no. If I’m receiving an award and posing for the camera – yeah my looks aren’t relevant.

The most effective thing to do as consumers is to encourage other people not to use google products. The best way to do that is to foment outrage at Google.

Does anyone have a (link to a) good summary of the ruling and rationale?

I find the idea that “Google is the only real choice” kind of odd. There are other perfectly functional and user-friendly search engines. It’s not like other monopolies, say, Youtube, where there’s no realistic alternative.

Wesnoth’s soundtrack is such a classic

“The platform formerly known as Twitter”?

It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t the fact that he’s trying to lay claim to 1/26th of the English alphabet

The full title on close parsing doesn’t make sense in xorg context. But “X kills its <unix os> app” initially had my brain trying to figure out what people were running X on mac.

Please call it Twitter in the title unless there’s a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

The orthodox would agree.

Which bible is censored?

Edit: legit, why downvote this question?

You are wrong to think that religion is only about fear. The bigger part for the individual IMO is that it provides comfort.

commenter is talking about operating systems. You realize there are other comments here too, right?
