That motto did not work well for them

OpenAI/Anthropic does not train on your data? I'm sure they do
and, give them some kind of rights - based on “intelligence”, so that the model takes the blame and not the user, I hope it can be ruled very soon that the owner/driver/company is responsible, not the model.

can you please list some of the people you worked with? I really appreciate good design and am always looking for great artists that I don’t know about yet, thanks.

Maybe I missed it but I actively looked for anyone’s insight into the “pace the frontier” along the lines of: “we’ve hit a ceiling, so don’t expect innovations soon”. Or an excuse for having other things more important to attend..

Fear is much more powerful than any other feeling, so setting that in will definitely prepare for a good rug pull in the IPO.

As for being dangerous, a computer can be dangerous if plugged in, it may be too late to pull the plug at some point yes, but that all seems like provocation.

Plausible?

what do you do while agents work?

trees can be considered intelligent, trees show complex adaptive behavior that can reasonably be called a basic form of intelligence, but not a human-like intelligence,

I do get your point though and can see what you're trying to say, it is interesting indeed. There is however a detail that seems important to me, who is the driver? There is no agency is there? So its just fishing for data, so its a different type, just like trees are from us. I see them more like a very compressed "book of everything" that you can spin in "infinite" ways to get your desired outcomes. So yeah, definitely not alive, intelligent? Not like our intelligence.

Hi! why a port and not contribution to the original project? What were the reasons? Will this be 100% compatible in the future? Thanks!!

Audion, interpreted scripting language that is fun to write and lets you make interactive music, a/v installations using supercollider or any daw and hardware. BPM synchronization between real OS threads and Ableton sync is built in as well. https://github.com/audion-lang/audion

the devil is always in the details. those details are on every level you look at: human minds, nature around us, space. so if your inputs are vague, you should only expect outputs that are vague and generalized
parents tend to yell at the same time and it needs simultaneous processing
why rewrite if you can check for and fix bugs? If you are thinking of AI fixing bugs is less expensive
hey, does anyone remember when Slack wanted to replace email?
