I guess corn is more fungible than gpus? Not sure what to tell you.

GPUs aren’t liquid like stocks or commodities. There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get them in 10 months.

It's fun to note that nobody mentions AGI in these threads anymore.

The system was introduced around 170 years ago and it was done very suddenly after a civil-religious war won by protestant liberals.

Do you have an agent scanning the front page waiting to post the pelicans?

Can you ask your favorite „AI” to comment on what you’ve just said?

Thanks for the ragebait. Reminding myself that the flaw here is obvious, there’s no need to respond, arbitrary „tests” aren’t binding to anyone, protecting the future is perfectly defensible as a moral stance even at cost of present convenience.

Is it possible to change the language of Wikipedia? For many places, the local language Wikipedia has more articles.

Using the easy to defend claim (acting without perfect information is necessary) to defend a much broader one (my judgement is rational and justified based on the information I have) is a classical motte and bailey fallacy.

People in the rationalist community don’t see it, because ironically they’re not rational enough. But they use the language and essay format to make it seem like they are.

If your pick of the option is based on emotion or aesthetics, the decision isn’t rational. Presenting is as such is misleading and dishonest.

This unfortunately doesn’t help if it isn’t paired with withholding judgement in the face of insufficient evidence, but rationalists don’t do that. They just pick a model they like and continue, and the burden of scrutinizing that model is on others.

Censorship to prevent thought crimes on HN? Can’t be!

Look up the company providing it and you’ll laugh about it.

I wonder if „hard“ languages like Haskell will make a comeback with LLMs, because the short term cost of learning the language isn’t that significant anymore contrasted with the long term benefits of the type system and better structure.

I should be career hopping some more.

Bots are coming back online.

What’s amazing is that nobody would have even noticed if it weren’t for Anthropocene being all “LOOOK WHAT WE DIIIIID WE SENT AN EEEEEEEEEMMMMMAAAILL. SOOORRRY”.

Crying for attention in the attention economy has never been more pathetic, but I think it will get worse.

It’s weird that people are celebrating the end of Europe here every day because they „killed themselves with regulations” but one German company does well and it’s a mass freak out?

Yeah I think it gives them the illusion of being more right than the average person even if those are just the same old confused thoughts you could expect from anyone.

Stable housing prices are not the problem you think they are.

There’s a whole market for explaining other cultures to Americans wrongly but in terms that they can understand.

They’ll prefer to listen to that because this kind of communication is done using the language and concepts they understand. They’ll confidently and arrogantly tell other people what they are based on this „knowledge”.

People ITT are loving it and enjoying it.

how about you make the insight about the difference between the state and the government :)

careful, we have a very intelligent individual over here

do you mean the US government?

The solution for your food being spoiled is to get rid of it, and get something fresh. Not to stop eating food.

> but the fact it's state-run / promoted gives me the ick

That’s an irrational reaction, probably conditioned by ideology.

A well-run state has been perhaps one of the most successful enabling factors for human flourishing in human history.

As someone who ho grew up in a smalll bedroom with multiple siblings until I was 19…

Fuck that.

I’ve recently been in Spain and the non-alcoholic beer was great. To be fair I can’t remember the last time I’ve had alcoholic beer because of the same reasons many people mentioned already, so maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to it.

Good observation! It would have to be offset with O(140k) queries to the model, which is, well, unlikely.

The market would stop it unless there’s an employment monopoly in which case you need more regulation.

Hope they can solve the whole littering problem somehow.
